[Q] Confusion confusion confusion

Well guys as I posted in my previous topic that I want to buy a decent android mobile but now its just confusion confusion nconfusion.
I'm confused.
First i thought to buy sony ericsson x10 mini pro as it got qwerty. Then polo adviced me not to buy because they'll stuck on android eclair and low screen resolution as well low hardware.
Then I thought to buy motorola defy from all your guys suggestion. But I always wanted a qwerty phone so for a while my heart turns towards motorola milestone. But then again you guys helped me and showed me correct path as it got low phone internal memory and ram.
Then my mind kept cool for a while so i was searching for a decent phone. Then comes galaxy S i9003 which got everything , dual cameras and a decent hardware butnot much developer support. And I don't know whether it got a gorilla glass which is screen resistance.
So then comes the news ofarrival of sony ericsson mini and mini pro. Mini progot a decent hardware, 5 mp camera with flash, secondary camera , hd video recording and playback but again it's too small when it was compared with xperia x10 it seems too small in size.
I got a budget of 21000 rupees i.e. 480 . What should i buy now?

@ Shriharsh
considering your budget, i would advice you to extend it by 1.5k more and you would get a galaxy s i9000. I have just got the phone for a friend @ 22.5k.
else go for moto defy, damn good phone with good dev support

[Q] Galaxy S or Xperia Arc

Can someone please help me make the decision.
I'm buying my new phone in two weeks ..
And I'm confused between these two
Samsung Galaxy S
Or
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Taking into account the popularity of the Galaxy S and the wide-range support.
And the coolness .. the awesome camera of the Xperia Arc.
P.S. i don't know why so many people are comparing the Xperia Arc to the
Galaxy S II despite the fact that the S II has a dual-core processor, while the Xperia has a single core. They should compare the S but not S II
I'd really appreciate your answer so that i can make up my mind

Arc is more stylish to me.
Also, if you buy SIM-unlocked one, it's not a problem to unlock bootloader.
But it hasn't got so many custom ROMs as Galaxy S does.
Most Arcs can be overclocked up to 1.7GHz stable (max is 2.0GHz), even up to 2.0GHz if you apply some more overvolting.
And it has nice Super LCD screen which is great.
But, let's also tell something about Galaxy S: so much custom ROMs, big community, S-AMOLED screen, weighting almost the same as a bunch of 10 A4 papers.

galaxy s

Arc. Bigger screen, better camera. I even like the screen better: works well in sunlight.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

I Would go for ARC as well. Very nicely build phone.

And what about the screen .. Super AMOLED vs. LCD Sony Bravia Reality Display
It's said that the S-AMOLED is the best in the business these days .. However, alot of people claim the Xperia's LCD is awesome too
And i don't know about the touch sensitivity comparing to the Galaxy S

[Q] Xperia GO or One V

I need to replace ma aged Milestone (OG Droid) and basically this two are the only choice I have (contract, gift etc)
I like the IP67 cert. on the GO and love the idea of dual core cpu, however I am worried about the screen res HVGA on 3.5", will I go blind from the pixel size? 165 ppi
I like the screen size on One V, the ICS and the unibody, but I am worried that it won't be much of an upgrade from my old phone (running at 1 Ghz on CM7). I was looking at some quadrant benchmarks and while it is faster, its not by much. However the 512mb ram would be a huge upgrade to me (milestone locked BL, no swap apps shutdown).
As far as I can tell, they both have decent 5mp cameras and shoot nice 720p videos.
Need advice.

[Q] Xperia S or Galaxy SII - Gaming

Which one is better for gaming?
Xperia S or Galaxy SII
(I was searching on Google, no results)

they both have the exact same SoC.
It all boils down to which phone design do you like better, and if you like to have a removable storage and battery, though they both have usb OTG.
As for the screen, the xperia S 720 is good. For the SGS2 depending on which version, 4.3 vs 4.55 but both at a lower resolution.

I'd choose the Xperia S

I decided, Xperia S...
I want to play Vice City, but will it work on ICS or only on GB?
I heard that it has some problems with Adreno 220...
Also, will Minecraft PE work on it?

samsung

id say samsung galay sII

Galaxy SII 4 sure :good:

Just tell me which phone has better perfomance in gaming. I don't like fanboys, you know!!!

Definitely the s2, as it has nearly half of the pixels to work with and a better supported gpu plus Better community, the Xperia s is better for multimedia in general... If you only care about gaming and have an higher budget I would suggest you an iOS (ip4s)product as they have far better gpu(wich is The most important thing for gaming) and better and more games...
Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

I decided, Xperia S is winner.
1. - PlayStation Certified
2. - HDMI
3. - Big internal storage
4. - Side buttons
iOS? Nope, I don't have 10 million dollars
This can be locked...

yep xperia s is better sexier design, better camera and its newer
and with play station certification, it can be beat for gaming.
plus it bootloader like all xperias is easy to unlock

>Early Performance Report, Benchmarks
Sony tried to reduce bezels size and improve their OmniBalance design. It means even if Xperia Z2 is tall But bigger display & Battery. also durability for IP58.
Samsung has great design on Galaxy S4. round phone is always expected from samsung. but Round phone with more bezel than previous flagship is not that cool! It s exactly unlike what Sony done.
For both phone; Durability of Phone force them to design.
In this side Sony did smarter job cause it uses metallic frame and thinner bezel.
BUT first you have to check performance of phone.
This time Sony have better plan for availability.
Xperia Z2 will come in Mid-March But Galaxy S5 in early April.

However on Xperia Z, ZL, Z1 & etc we saw lots of new and report about BAD display (Viewing Angle) But this time we can see lots of report about GOOD display.
Now It s about Large Color Gamut.
& maybe it s widest color range support for smartphones.
This Color Gamut is even more than Super-AMOLED displays.

S5 just have FHD display with Snap S800 and 2Gig of RAM
May be souce is wrong,

Samsung Galaxy S5 will be using Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset in MSM8974-AC variant, clocked at 2.5 GHz. Sony D6503 will be also using Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset in MSM8974-AB variant, clocked at 2.3 GHz.

yes the source is wrong, the screen is not 1080p its at least 2k
anyone own a Sony will regret it...Sony will be bankrupt in the next 3 years guarantee it, crappy phones, crappy tv, crappy headphone. Its hard to believe Sony is a Japanese company.

There's multiple versions of S5, Exynos and Snapdragon, FullHD and QHD, I guess only the exynos version will have QHD, or it might be a mix... Samsung doesn't have LTE modem compatible with everywhere that's why they're using Qualcomm in some cases ( S4 LTE used Qualcomm, while S4 3G used Exynos ).. the reason of why there's two screen resolution I guess is duo to low QHD production, Samsung can't sustain the required demand for these so they're going after FHD as a backup...
In most cases, we might get Exynos with QHD and Qualcomm with FullHD...
Sony's flagship will have 3300mAh according to latest rumor, it also has stereo speakers

8974AC

SD-800
according to wikipedia and sources below wiki page SD800-8974AC max speed is 2.4GHz
however they can modify it for 2.5GHz but that s wht we know.

Galaxy S5 might be water-dust resistant
According to O2 Germany via AndroidAuthority
Sent via Nexus7 | WiFi.32GB

Or we could see an GS5 Active or O2 could be using "water" to hide the GS5 since they have no clue what it looks like.

NOW Sony have too difficult battle.
cause S5 probably support IP67
and 16MP camera with bigger sensor with aqua mod

If only the Sony would be widespread in the US like the S5.

You're right it's my opinion and so is everything else on the net regarding the GS5. No one knows for sure until next Monday. That is FACT.

We saw Xperia Z2 and now waiting for Galaxy S5
Samsung doesn't have difficult way to win battle !
:good:

Xperia Z2 Display powered by both Live Color algorithm & X-Reality engine
IPS /TRILUMINOS FullHD
It can be positive point for new Xperia...

Galaxy S5
NOW I have to say Samsung had so difficult battle!
and i my opinion Samsung cannot win!
after successful S4 & Note3
this S5 is not that impressive!
everything about it
Xperia Z2 is winner of MWC14

The ugliest device of 2014: Samsung galaxy S5!

Xperia Z2 aperature is 2.0 not 2.3

The Sony is too tall. The GS4 is already tall enough. I don't want a taller phone with a lot of bezel.
