Presenting the new Xperia S
The Sony press conference has just finished and Sir Howard Stringer and Kaz Hirai of Sony have shared with us not only the new gadgets Sony is presenting at the 2012 International CES, but also announced the new Xperia™ S, the first smartphone from the new Xperia™ NXT series- the next generation smartphones from Sony*.
The new Xperia™ S is an Android smartphone that combines an impressive viewing experience through the high resolution 4.3 inch display with Mobile BRAVIA engine, a 12 MP camera that takes pictures in just 1.5 seconds from standby, and an amazing Sony HD experience. Xperia™ S also has a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor for a faster performance. Watching HD clips and movies is really a great experience on this phone. And I can’t wait to try out HD games on it! Xperia™ S also enables an easy connectivity experience with multiple screens, so that you can access, share and enjoy content on the screen that suits the situation: TV, smartphone, laptop or tablet. We have talked about the increased connectivity between different screens before, and with Xperia™ S we will see more about the possibilities of sharing and accessing content easily, including NFC (near field communication), as Xperia™ S is NFC enabled.
Also, Xperia™ S will be able to access easily to the entertainment content from Sony Entertainment Network, such as Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited (in the countries where the services are available). You can check if your country already has the services here.
Here is an overview of the key features for Xperia™ S:
4.3 inch Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine with HD resolution screen (1280 x 720), as well as front (720p) and back (1080p) cameras for HD recording.
1.5GHz dual-core processor for fast browsing and content download, which can be stored on the internal 32GB flash storage.
12MP back camera with Sony Exmor R™ for mobile along with Fastest Capture to take shots in just 1.5 seconds directly from standby mode. Front-facing camera with 1.3 MP.
NFC (Near Field Communications) enabled to access growing range of NFC applications and services as well as Xperia SmartTags.
With HD sharing through DLNA, HDMI and using BRAVIA Sync for controlling your Xperia S with your TV remote control when connected to the TV, Xperia™ S delivers a full HD experience on TV.
PlayStation™ Certified, that guarantees a high quality smartphone gaming experience and access to the PlayStation® Store.

Also, the first things that I really liked about the Xperia™ S (apart from the great features we have already presented), from a first view, are the new design and the UI. Xperia™ S is the first smartphone that showcases a new design approach referred as “Iconic Identity”. You will be able to see this new design throughout the Xperia™ NXT series, and it creates a simple look that is instantly recognizable.
One of the main elements of the new design is the transparent element at the base of the phone. It creates an iconic silhouette, emphasizing the display, and also provides illumination effects and integrates the antenna components.
I have always loved is the User Interface from our phones. And for the Xperia™ NXT series, I think I will keep on liking it! The user Interface has been redesigned to match the minimalistic design of the hardware. The home screen has a new colorful flow background making full usage of HD Reality Display and dual-core processing power.
Xperia™ S will be available to consumers globally from the first quarter 2012. Launching on Android platform 2.3 (Gingerbread) Xperia™ S will be upgraded to Android platform 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) during the second quarter 2012.
If you want more information about Xperia™ S, check out the press release here. And don’t miss more information about this launch, and all what is happening in the 2012 International CES this week on this blog! We have great things in store!

I didn't like the side headphone jack on the arc but it's not so bad with the Sony Ericsson headphones the plug isn't that big.
The removable battery I dont line one bit, and im sure will be a deal breaker for a few people.

the included headphones never even leave the packaging when i get a new phone...i'm a bit particular when it comes to headphones.
tried bluetooth headphones for a while but i hated them - they always seem to have flashing lights / make you look like a complete ****.

The Sony ones are really good though, answer call button, pause and play media, good sound quality and small plug.

Another proof that its apple that imitated SE with their iphone4 , the titanium/metalic borders were always an SE style since K800/k850...

I will buy it IF XDA devs will work on it, I ended selling my Arc after a month because of the total lack of roms

good design and specs.. I think you should add a laser beam features. It can kill bad people or iphones.
the casing should be black and have baby skin touch.
dual boot. too much work for sony, enough said. each every update will take too much time and resource for a silly phone.
hahaha...good for u to try something new...BUT
i can c that obviously u r not designer..phone design is not that simple...
u need to think about lots of things not only the look but how to hold the phone, grip and size etc(too many)...i can say the sony wouldnt even bother to look at this design...im sry...but keep trying...one day u will achieve something...haha..
if apple would sue this thing of it's design i'll go crazy haha a very unique design

You mean like Nokia N9 that runs 2 OSs ? I can see you're dreaming man
Sony didn't listen to us when we asked them for ICS for Xperia Play
Sony didn't listen to its customers when they wanted a quad core phone in 2012
Why would Sony listen to you ? + they have a lack of developers + they are so busy upgrading Xperia 2012 devices to Android 4.2
Good ,look nice.

It will NEVER HAAPEN. Sony = PS3. Microsoft = Xbox 360 = Windows. They are competing for a reason. Sony will NEVER use Windows phone as their smartphone platform let alone dualboot OS'.

Searching for best audio quality android phone of all new phones that released lately cuz i am gonna sell my s2 and i dont care about price and please dont post that all phones are same all u need is eq an just good headphone. Yea i have good solo bose headphones but i am 100% sure quality of circuts and other chips jacks and speaker placement and quality affect sound alot too and by asking for sound quality i mean loud speakers of phone too. Also i need it to be one of new android phones in market with good specs, features n quality but mainly focus on sound (not just the bass boost but clarity n sharpness of all sound too). Please if u are not sure of the device u gona suggest better dont post cuz i need the best, really the best. also got 2 questions
1. Htc onex+ the beats is really just an eq adjustment software or they have any hardware that added related to beats or even speakers and chips and with audio engineering point of view cuz that what beats.com says
2. S3 with voodoo enhance loud speakers too or just headphones? does galaxy note 2 have wolfson or work with voodoo? If not what is note 2 chip brand tho and what i can use that can be as good as s3 with voodoo exactly and have same options of voodoo?
Thanks in advance,
Maxwel1
OPPO Find 5?
How about the OPPO Find 5? It uses a Dirac HD sound processing chip, making Oppo the first mobile phone brand to do so. However I have no personal experience with it, but I just figured it fit your discription. I too am looking for a phone with good audio HARDWARE, and this is on the top of my list, especially due to their good reputation with A/V equipment in general! Just need to get my hands (and ears) on it first. Good luck!
Looks like its really good one for sound quality but it lack much of specifications compared to the new phones released lately like s3 and one x+. Also i would love to include that need company that can update android regularly i know there will be non so fast especially than nexus phones but i mean that company dont ignore old phones cuz samsung did that with s2 users and heard htc do same but if both do i need recommandation of best of them in that point.
but still periority goes to best sound quality hardware..
and please someone answer my previous 2 questions too
Thanks in advance
Maxwel1
This might sound stupid but couldn't you just take your headphones and some music down to a store and simply try out each phone then just pick whichever one sounds the best to you...
Samsung Galaxy S3 is a superb audio quality android phone. It comes with latest features it has 4.8 inch Superb Super AMOLED display with saturated colors and high contrast with 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and HD video recording, 4.0 android operating system, Quad-core 1.4 GHz Processor and 2050 mAh battery capacity. You can read all details here:
themobileindian.com/handset-guide/details/Samsung-Galaxy-SIII
Thanks guys for trying to help but
1- no there is no store here let me try phones
2- i know s3 specifications and thats not my point. My point is need best android phone with best audio hardware and its audio was made with sound experts.
Anything as good as s3 or better in audio? What about note 2 audio?
Please answer my previous 2 questions in first post, guys
Waiting for replies and more suggestions cuz i need new phone so bad

Check out HTC One S, it has Beats Audio integration and comes with 8MP camera and a very sleek body. This is one phone to look out for. Do check.
I guess one x plus is better but ppl say beats just an equalizer and not hardware is that true or not? << so important question (beats says on their website they
do add great quality hardware and placement them in right places for clarity and great sound as heard by artists in thier studio)
does beats audio on htc one x plus better than voodoo with s3 ??
Still waiting more suggestion of devices of best audio quality hardware
Please please please people reply my first 2 questions in my first post in this thread
Thanks alot,
Maxwel1
The Galaxy S3 (i9300 and i9305, NOT the US models) has the Wolfson DAC that the original Galaxy S/Nexus S (remember the Voodoo audio mod?). Also applies to the Note 2. If you want to use this device as a secondary device, you can just get a Galaxy S or Nexus S, but as a daily phone if you need something powerful, get the S3.
As for the One X, the Tegra 3 was rated as having the worst and nosiest DAC. Beats Audio is a gimmick and is just a software audio equalizer preset.
Using Siyah kernel and STweaks on my S3:

Yes, but you need to be running Siyah kernel (which I'm assuming exists for the Note 2 since Play Store reviews for the app say people are using it): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gokhanmoral.stweaks.app&hl=en
The kernel includes the app when you flash it but in case it doesn't, link above.

Does stweaks give same sound quality and options like voodoo sound like for radio too?
Does voodoo work for note 2?
Which u prefer note 2 or s3 in terms of sound hardware and quality ( speakers and headphones) ?
Does stweak/voodoo work for speaker too or just headphone ?
Does stweaks/voodoo work with all apps?

STweaks applies audio tweaks system-wide, at the kernel level. I don't believe there's an official Voodoo mod for the S3 or Note 2 yet, however the mods in STweak use code from the official Voodoo mod (it's just as good). Both the Note 2 and S3 i9300/i9305 (again, not the US S3, BUT you can use any Note 2. It's part of the Exynos chipset) have the same chipset, but the Note 2 is a little faster and has 2GB of RAM. It's up to you really. I like the size of the S3 compared to the Note 2. But the Note 2 is slightly more powerful and has the S-Pen among other things.
Aah right ok. Ive just been researching a little. No actual voodoo sound for the note 2 just yet, and the neak kernel has options for sounds etc, and neak and siyah are both compatible with samsung based roms?
Im thinking of rooting and installing the android revolution hd rom, which has the option to install the perseus kernel, and im sure I read something an hour ago about something to do with voodoo sound and perseus?...so would there be a control app with that too?
I also hate to ask but not necessarily which is the best, do you know which has the most features etc
Ive had the note 2 3 weeks maybe and im a music nut. Still unrooted with the stock rom. Also had this noozoxiode app installed and its great and very impressive, just when I have the headphones in its too quiet, even with the volume on max.

Siyah kernel supports both Samsung and AOSP based ROMs in one (with tweaks and everything) and even supports dual-booting as long as one ROM is AOSP and one is Samsung-based. I recommend Omega ROM because it has a ton of features. It uses AROMA installer so you can choose what you want to include or not when flashing the ROM, and it has tons of mods (comes with an app that showcases a few of them). It's for the S3 i9300 and Note 2.
My personal experience, no android hardware is good for quality audio, used almost all trendy phones from HTC,moto,Samsung ,Sony. Well Sony had the best audio phones b4, but Sony seems to take no care for audio hardware( yes I mean hardware itself and not software /os ) now a days. I can strongly say it becoz I am a fan of Sony Ericsson phones ( those old cyber shots and walkmans) and besides the fact that 95 % of those phones were java phones, they really had a good cam, and good sound hardware. My personal interests were k800,w880,c905 and w995. If u can mod/patch and change drivers of those phones, I bet u will throw out ur iPods. Even now I have c905, with changed cam/display/ sound drivers and I barely use my hd2 for photos or songs. Go find one of them, then go to se-nse forum, be the guru to ur phone. 1Ce u behold a moded phone, u never get back to android for audio.Sony had phones with Smaster digital amp with about 2v o/p . It will bleed ur ears if u remove the sound restrictions Sony inserted in its drivers. And mods are intented to remove restrictions.
Nb. Lol android is not an os for entertainment unlike iOS, but it is more close to productivity. So expect less multimedia.and if u want an android multimedia device go for Sony's android walkman. But never ever buy Sony phones for this purpose.

Thanks for the tip, just been scrolling through the omega 9.1 thread... omg! And a kitchen app! So in a nutshell I fully charge, root with method 2 so I get cwm to flash the rom with, backup stuff and flash omega then wipe everything at the start of the aroma. Then download the kitchen app and install the perseus kernel so I get stweaks which is the closest thing to voodoo?

What I know so far, and ive only been looking into this stuff tonight. It seems stweaks is the option to go with as its the closest to the voodoo sound mod, and yes it sorts out both headphone and speaker etc. Also I think stweaks is kernel specific to perseus. So you would need to root and install a rom that supports the perseus kernel. Apparently the omega rom is one of the top Samsung based ones and you can flash the perseus kernel with the omega rom kitchen app from the play store. Search for omega files. This seems the best way to go at the minute.

I can strongly say it becoz I am a fan of Sony Ericsson phones ( those old cyber shots and walkmans) and besides the fact that 95 % of those phones were java phones, they really had a good cam, and good sound hardware. My personal interests were k800,w880,c905 and w995. If u can mod/patch and change drivers of those phones, I bet u will throw out ur iPods. Even now I have c905, with changed cam/display/ sound drivers and I barely use my hd2 for photos or songs. Go find one of them, then go to se-nse forum, be the guru to ur phone. 1Ce u behold a moded phone, u never get back to android for audio.Sony had phones with Smaster digital amp with about 2v o/p . It will bleed ur ears if u remove the sound restrictions Sony inserted in its drivers. And mods are intented to remove restrictions.
Nb. Lol android is not an os for entertainment unlike iOS, but it is more close to productivity. So expect less multimedia.and if u want an android multimedia device go for Sony's android walkman. But never ever buy Sony phones for this purpose.

I am not that good to be my phone guru plus i asked for best from nowadays new phones cuz i need phone that can suit my tasks as my previous ones could not java one and honestly i got ipod touch 4g and had iphone 3g and now got s2 which will sell but i really bored with ios and need to change ik s2 is android but i had it for like 4-5 monthes unlimke ios so i was searching best of android audio hardware although i agree that android not good with audio that much anymore and ios more better at that point as far as i know about iphones/ipod and s2 but still after best of them although i see at productivity iphone more better too atleast look at thier apps and play apps... I like android os flexibility and easy and much customizable than ios but not agreeing about productivity due to less app devs for play.
till now i guess a note 2 with stweaks is answer so far. Why not s3? Cuz personally i hate to carry phone with 50% of people around the world. I love to carry something not out there much and special with good features especially audio
Thanks in advance,

Hi.
I hope i put this thread in the right place. Please move if not.
I want to make you all aware of the Neo N003 Premium and Neo N003 Youth.
Two Android phones that i think have great potential for a low price.
Check them out.

Sounds pretty good to me.
I hope the Sony 13 mega-pixel camera will deliver and that the screen is good.
If thats the case i sooo hope that the wonderful people here on xda do what they do and mod the shiit out of them :good:
Im already looking forward to all the questions about what kernel is best for battery *Snicker*
Your thoughts??
The Neo N003 looks great. I've been looking at it for a few weeks now.
I especially like that it's supposed to be the first mtk6589 phone to get usb otg and hdmi.
I'd still probably wait for the 2GB premium version.
Basically for the mtk6589 1080p 2GB phones I really only like 2 of them. The iOcean X7 Premium and the Neo N003.
I just got a iNew i2000 and have been messing around with it. It's very nice, but it's only 720p.
These companies like to make customers hot and then delay the release to another week then to another month. The release will be the end of april now.
I hate the look of the Neo N003, it looks so common. But specs are the best bang for the bucks.
I still prefer the iocean X7, but also the premium version.
Will be interesting to read what users think of it when it finally comes out.
Good choice ha!:thumbup:

The Neo N003 seems to be the most cost effective one out of the Android phones coming from China with similar specs based on rumours so far. My only issue is the lack of bands these phones cover. 2G will be no problem but 3G is weak and no LTE.
I'll be buying one of this (and in a joint purchase we'll get about 500 of this phone, both youth or premium) directly from NEO's factory. It looks like they extended the 3G bands as it now supports 850/900MHz band on 3G. You can see almost full specs here, many of them confirmed directly talking with NEO:
http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=8082128&postcount=1
Photos also look good:
Right now there are 350 people in the list (it's a joint purchase with 2 forums, HTCMania and Forocoches), 200 on HTCMania list (which hasn't been updated since some time) and about 150 in forocoches one.
There will be Forum on XDA ?

There should be one for NEO N003, general, as both share almost every single spec (only difference is RAM & ROM size).
is it dual sim?

lightake is excellent. there is a coupon thread here as well for the neo n003. in my opinion, not worth an extra $90 or so for the ultimate. the standard should suit 99.9% of users just fine.

Neo N003 2GB version is being pre-sold but the iOcean X7 pre-sells are only the youth 1GB version.
i can't see the advantage of having 2GB ram over 1GB if in ANDROID we have ZRAM (like virtual memory in windows) and the games/apps are running fine on 512mb RAM...
BTW, any news about this phone? still presale?
Some reviews say iOcean X7 Youth version has lower display specs, most say it's the same. Camera is 13mp in full version but 8mp in Youth version.
http://www.gizmochina.com/2013/03/12/short-review-of-iocean-x7-youth-version-android-smartphone/
What's the neo company's name and their official website?
And
If android5 be released,anyone update this phone?!!!
At end, is any guidance to root and flash custom rom or anything?
----------
Sorry for my bad english.
Tanks
NEO company name is NEO, isn't it?
Website: http://www.neomobile.com.cn/
Android 5? well, next one looks like it will be Android 4.3, but we don't know if it will be updated.
There are already root guides for MT6589 phones, and this one doesn't look like it will be any harder. About custom roms, in HTCMania we are buying about 3000 phones so, yeah, maybe there will be roms.

i bought it here,really great phone, you will love it
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Deal-Of-Week...t=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item1e8b9679f3&_uhb=1
Got this phone as a replacement for my broken beaten up Galaxy s3.
Loving it so far. Hope someone gets a easier rooting for the D838 by the time i'm ready to root
hi,
Am i missing something here or this phone does not really have any custom roms?
its surprising.. I am planning to get one and wanted to how is the developer support. Surprised to see NIL threads in development!!

We don't have a custom recovery as yet and no sign of any developer support. I am very surprised at the lack of adoption of this device as I find it the best that I have ever owned and that is many. I'm not really bothered about a custom rom but would like to have the ability to remove the nav bar on my own selected apps like I could on my lg g2 which is virtually the same device but smaller.
hello my Indian brothers,
will there be any kind of development on this device (d838)?
OR what do you think is better phone,g2 or g pro 2? (with respect to roms,development ec.)
coz m gonna buy this phone otherwise g2
Just buy it
I'd still buy this phone over G2. There are enough apps in the playstore now to change each and every aspect of the phone. I do not see the need of a custom rom. It has every feature I can think of and can do every thing I'd want to do with a phone. I got a D838 about 4 days back. I have rooted it, customised it and will be receiving a 64GB microSD today. I don't think there is anything more I can ask for. And ROM development is more of a need when you arent satisfied with the software thephone maker provides with. I am one satisfied customer. And most importantly, I get over 24 hours of battery life with ease. That is about 7 hours of screen time, 1 hour of call, with 3G on for the entire day and Location services activated. And this is for sure is a BIG BIG deal for me.
agree with manas... its actually a very good phone... smooth like butter... my home screen

Did you try changing it in under Settings > Sound > Notification? Sorry I am finding it hard to figure out since I use a postpaid connection and the service provider doesnt push such notifications.

Good News for E3 users though we didnt get lollipop sony has released android m developer preview to try on our devices hoping to get android m directly to our devices
Update: can someone compile all the binaries and kernel so that we can try android m

Can u just compile it for both lte and non lte devices like d2202 because i have non lte variant and i dont find pure stock roms
Please make it for dual sim variant too
Guys, I think all this is a ridiculous effort from Sony. Let me explain my point.
Why the hell Sony bring for us AOSP M preview for E3 if we dont have at least Android 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 Lollipop user experience? This doesn't have any sense for god´s sake!
I barely know about Lollipop because my friends have that version on their phones. You can say android is the same but different, but this is extremely ridiculous. We are getting deep into more and more fragmentation. And if we dont make our voices louder, fragmentation and programated obsolescence will keep us buying and throwing to the trash models and models forever and ever.
Why sony puts an illusion of Android M so early? May be E3 dont see the light when M reach its final version. Remember 2013 Xperia SP, stuck forever in jelly bean, being capable of run lollipop and even M!
Also, "playing in Sony Xperia E3" for using AOSP (Lollipop or M) is only limited to international variant D2203, while D2206/43/12/02 users cant do anything because we cant install via Emma the new BL.
Sony idk why are you doing this, making feel so bad your loyal customers.

Simply @ShanePunk123 we can choose other reliable brand. Motorola is surprisingly giving experience like nexus phones.
Chinese emerging brands as Xiaomi and oneplus are also glowing today. And just wait nokia, because in 2016 they will make a rush, android and nokia coming soon, and also, blackberry is going to have android.
Of course we cant deny that sony is getting serious but we require some respect.

And point to be noted that this isn't the only phone left behind but there are others like T3 so I do have some hope that something's gonna change in a while so I'm just waiting for it...

Even i liked the device at first but the main problem is the memory which is kinda making me change the device and very slow development for the non lte variants hope this problem will be fixed by our dev at xda asap
The internal memory is not an issue. If we use Facebook lite app instead Facebook app, we can get same results and avoid the filling and the ugly and upset warning icon.
Lets figure out the way of install facebook, chrome and messenger into the sd without swapping memories. They are the main binge eater apps on our little E3´s
Of course even 8 Gb is not enough today, at least in Xperia M4 Aqua, they are in the same condition like us.
Guys, I hope that lollipop doesnt waste more than 3 Gb of the internal memory. If lollipop wastes more than that, say goodbye to lollipop in E3 due to hardware restrictions. If you didnt realize that detail until now, keep in mind that issue until we get official confirmation. That can left us out

m4 aqua have 1.2gb usabl after all sony crap, could it be reason i mean sony is not relasing lollipop because they can,t fill crap in this phone.
i am petty sure that is reason after seeng m4 aqua having only 1.2gb left out of 8 gb.
@vinay
Its so ridiculous that amount occupied by an android version. My question is:
How many memory or space-whatever- in gigabytes use Stock or CM11 or CM12 or CM12,1 or AOSP 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 filled with just essential apps?
I know that compressed ftf stock rom weights around 800 Mb - 1 Gb for E3, but when installed they left us 1.7 Gb for apps
Total - Free = ROM space
4 - 1.7 = 2.3 Gb occupied by stock 4.4.4
Remaining minus stock size
2.3 - 1.0 = 1.3 Gb lost!!!!
What happens with around 1 Gb?? am i wrong with my calculation?
