playing games consumes a lot of resources (you know it )
i have a htc desire hd... has a 1ghz powerful snapdragon processor, that if you "root" your device and installs a new kernel you can speed up to 1.8ghz!!!!the only thing that can not agree to you is that his big display (4.3")is only an LCD screen.
seems well for gamming but i recommend to you WAIT for thE htc SENSATION.. it´s cool because has A DUAL CORE processor sooooooo powerful!! and has a LED DISPLAY and the best resolution (comparing htc phones)
sensation has more than 1 gb of ram memory....
b
ut xperia play is the most comfortable phone for gamming... 1ghz processor overclockable of course... has the buttons like PSP...and the lastst android version 2.3.3 gingerbread..
But the graphical environment is the worst comparing it with desire hd, galaxy s (galaxy s have better proccessor than desire hd but the same speed) and certainly the sensation
xperia play has a super LCD display. (poor performance comparing with LED panels)

It's better with dual core phone for gaming I guess.. try galaxy s2..

the quality of the processor of SGS is better (arm cortex)and counts with GPU technology for better power and battery administration..
also the SGS has better display than DHD, sgs is a superlcd retroilluminated by LEDS (called SUPERAMOLED)
DHD display is a simple LCD DISPLAY (MADED BY SHARP certainly)
and the processor of DHD iS a QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON...It has less quality than ARM CORTEX...
CONCLUSSION: SGS has better H/W than DHD..

htc Desire HD is my choice

Xperia x10 with any gingerbread rom or xperia play

choose an evo 3d only for gamming is a sacrilege
I invite you to visit his development forum and to explore his capacities to squeeze it to the maximum

I think one with a big screen, like Samsung Galaxy S2.

Galaxy S2 or Xperia Play?

Hey guys. I will be able to change my phone real soon and I'm kinda in a dilemma on which phone to get, the Xperia Play or S2. I'm planning to use my new phone for gaming LOL. Xperia Play has 1Ghz processor and 512mb of ram, but has that fancy looking controller. S2 on the other hand, has 1.2Ghz processor and an amazingly 1gb ram, to compensate for the controller, it is a ridiculously thin smartphone and a better processor. I'm looking for the smartphone which is optimised for gaming.. I want to know you guys opinion!

well lets put it this way if the galaxy S II had a controller built in it would be the clear winner. xperia play i think has most game compatibility but every game ive tried on my s2 plays beautifully and lag free

+1 For great gameplay on my s2 - There is always the option of a bluetooth controller if you are REALLY into games

I have a play.. its nice for gaming but would rather have the S2. I'm getting the galaxy nexus next month and cant wait to get rid of this phone.

The device you pick should really depend if you really want to play a lot of games on your cell phone. I have both the xperia play and the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 that I use for T-Mobile.
The galaxy s 2 is really great phone that you wont be disappointed in because...
.1 gig of ram really helps multitasking (compared to 512)
.2gb of space storage compared to 512mb(really like 400mb for you to use)
. You can connect the phone with an HDMI cable to an HD TV with the help from an adapter.
The xperia play is a really good phone because...
.to play so many games from the android market, emulators that play Playstation 1, N64, SNES,NES, etc.
. It has surprisingly good battery for gaming.
* I like both phones but since I am on T-Mobile I use the galaxy s 2 more because of the 4G connectivity. If I could use the xperia play for faster internet I would pick that one. Pick the xperia play ONLY if you really like playing a lot of games on it like me.
Since the galaxy s 2 is newer compared to the xperia play it is technically better but since games on the galaxy s 2 are okay, they are better with actual hardware controls.
I hope I helped. Sorry for the long post.

I was just in awe that anyone would buy the iArcade when I saw it in the deals on slick near black Friday.

Yea getting the SGSII would be better,plus it has a big screen so,your fingers will have enough room to game

Thanks for the info ppl. But there are several games I heard which S2 doesnt supprt while Xplay supports it? Like Samurai Vengeance2? It will only work on S2 if its rooted and chainfire enabled and I dont wish to root my new phone

There's 2 different S2?!?
I just did some research on it. It's model is i9103 right?

Wait. On the first quarter of next year SE will probably launch a new play, probably with their new NovaThor SoC, which is just as graphically capable as the Exynos, but the processor is a little worse, eveb though is still dual core.

The xperia has a more outstanding design but I would get a SGSII (if I wouldn't be in love with my Optimus 2X), as the lifestyle factor is much higher ;-)

sgs 2 cause of performance and look
sgs2 wins in all areas

SG 2 is better in performance, and overall, but Xperia Play is made for games so it's up to you, obviously is more comfortable to have the buttons to play the games, so in the end you will have to decide between that, overall performance vs comfort in a specific area.

gs2 plus if u have a ps3 or Xbox 360 you can connect it via Bluetooth.

Galaxy Ace 2 Or Sony Xperia U?

What Phone Would You Pick?

Xperia U. Transparent strip with manner colours and Sony. .. Win

Xperia U hands down. Never really into plasticky phones.

Xperia U
Flawless victory

Xperia U

Samsung Ace 2 is better than Sony Xperia U
why are you telling him to buy Sony Xperia U when clearly Samsung Ace 2 is better?
Samsung Ace 2 has more ram and a microSD slot, Sony Xperia U doesn`t have a microSD and only 512 MB RAM
they both use the same NovaThor U8500 but Samsung underclocked it to 800MHz so it uses less battery

Yes, it does not have a SD Slot. But if gonna buy a smartphone like this, you won't use much more space (4 GB for user, not total.)
And Sony wins with the specs and features of U.

I love the design of Xperia U.. it looks exactly like Xperia S.. I gotta pick it even though i'm a bit Sammy Boy! XD

Xperia U with live sound

The U is so amazing for a low end device, very good design and solid quality. The Ace 2 looks like an uninspiring piece of crap if you put it side by side with the Sony. It may have slightly better specs but man, at this price it's no night and day difference at all. I'd go for the U. The Lumia 610 will have a very hard time in this price range with that bad boy around.

It's Not Low End
The Galaxy Mini/Apollo/Gio Is Low End
And For Me... Specs Are King Of The Hill

It depends
Well, both devices have their pros and disadvantages, the xperia U has a faster processor and a really good screen due to the bravia engine. What it's bad about it is the 4gb memory without sd card slot, so you need to think about it if you listen to a lot of music and take a lot of pictures. I'm not a big fan of samsung because the materials feel really cheap.
In my opinion, the xperia U is waaay much better, you can consider the Xperia P too

Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 is much better. The Xperia U is 100% plastic too so don't listen to these trolls.
In terms of specs Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 wins no contest. The Xperia U has an extremely laggy UI and browser which is very disappointing

Are you serious? Timescape is way lighter than TouchWiz. It is plastic? And? I bet it feels better than Ace. Browser, wait a little until ICS. And the design? Sorry, the same design being used by over 2 years is better than something new every year? And I think you didn't see the awesomeness of the BRAVIA Engine and the colour changing Transparent Bar

Ace 2 is upgradable to Android ICS 4.0 and has a microSD slot

Samsung or Sony

hey people which phone would you prefer
sony xperia p
-1gb ram
-dual-core with mali 400 singlecore
-very good screen with qhd
Samsung galaxy s advance
-only 700-800mb
-dual-core with mali 400 singlecore (the same chipset)
-amoled screen with 800x480 pixel
for me is a good xda community very important so which would you prefer

Idk if everything is as easy for Samsung as Sony I say Samsung but never played with a Sony phone
Meh Fascinating Unicorn Devil

Don't buy any of them the flagship phone from last year ( sgs2 and xperia S) are far superior at the same price.

There are not many ROMs available for Xperia P.....you should also consider checking Arc S. It has not dual core proccessor, but its speed is decent. Xperia P's disadvantage is that there is no separate forum on XDA. If you dont mind it, then buy Sony Xperia P because it has better specs(higher resolution, more of RAM, better camera-Exmor R, better design)

I agree. Also, the previous year's models will have a lot more choices for ROMs and customizations.

sorry but im now in germany and here you cant get the s2 without the g and the xperia is over my budget (the s2 also)
BTW i have a budget of max 300 euro
both phones (s advance and xp) are pretty new so the community is surely not so big.
And i want to play games like mc3 with it:
both have the same chipset so both have almost the same performance. are they good enough to play those games??

If you are considering just SGA and Xperia P I would definitely go for Xperia.
better screen rseolution, a bit more RAM, probably officaial ICS (samsung sucks with upgrades), better camera, HDMI port.

Looking for: Mid-Class Android with good camera

Hey there,
Im looking for an Android phone for my girlfriend.
Specs:
- 3" till 4"
- Good cam (better than Htc Desire would be nice)
- Not ugly
- Smooth UI
I've found the Xperia Sola and the Optimus Speed. Does someone got a good choice?
Thanks a lot!

Did you consider Galaxy Ace 2? It's not too expensive,the camera is 5 Mpixels,but can shoot 720p video+Jelly Bean coming soon too.

The HTC EVO 3D has a CDMA and GSM variant and neither is too pricey. It features 2 5mp cameras on the rear and one forward facing camera (1.2 MP I believe). Hardware specs are nice and it features the same Snapdragon S3 chip as the One S (the One S is overclocked from Qualcomm default clock speed to 1.7 GHz). I have had my CDMA 3D for nearly a year and have been happy with it and ROM/Development support is definitely there.

Thanks a lot for your answers!
The EVO is too big and a bit too expensive. But the Ace looks quite interesting.

I'm not sure if it's available everywhere, but the Galaxy S Advance should have slightly better specs than the Ace 2 for almost the same price.

Not sure what you consider Mid class, i assume less expensive? I would look into the droid Razr (original or Maxx) you can get the original for around $50 if you are doing an upgrade and i have seen it go refurbed for $99. It has an 8mp camera and a 1.3mp front facing camera, dual-core processor and the whole thing is thin and beautiful. Battery isnt the best but still get about 8 hours normal usage 12 hours low usage. It comes with 8GB built in storage and an 8GB sd card for a total of 16GB which is awesome if you use the camcorder or camera a lot. You can check out and compare a few prices on Amazon or verizonwireless.com

Captivate?
