Guys I need some advice, I now have an old Omnia HD that I should change the battery and also because I'm tired of Symbian switch to Android.
I am interested in a phone that can last as my dear Omnia HD, and Xperia have wavered between S and some quadcore as HTC or the next S3?
I remember that multimedia is important for me as well as the stability of the system. What do you advise me?
Thanks
TD
Just bough yourself a note
You won't need quad cores for at least a year, I think. Not all apps are optimized to dual core, they won't be for quad core.
As a Sony (Ericsson) fan, I would buy Xperia S (I actually will buy it in April, if everything goes right). Nice design, beautiful screen, ICS coming soon, unlockable bootloader (yeah, there is already a pre rooted .ftf for it, in 1 week, at max).
I don't like Sammy neither HTC because of their designs, prices, sizes and disponibility (I never saw a HTC Android phone on Brazil).
and the battery could be a problem? it has to charge faster, but less harsh?
?

Ignore them.
Anyway, I know Xperia S charge really fast, from many reviews I read. And, toghether with a special charger (not released yet) in 10 minutes, you would have battery for 1 hour.
What Sony is doing wrong is their "almost old hardware" (Snapdragon S3, as S4 is coming out soon (I really don't know exactly what is better between those two, but expert users says there is some improvement.))
Anyway, Xperia S is an amazing phone. Just go to phonearena or GSMarena and check out ther reviews.
Thanks for the availability
so you advise me to buy this Sony and not wait?
thanks again
row now
i think its S

Yeah.
Good shopping, see you in some months in Xperia S forums.
Xperia X10 Mini Pro with CM9 by paul-xxx
Have you seen the review of TheVerge?
I think it's anti-sony.
another thing that stops me from the purchase is that everyone complains about the lack of reactivity of soft touch buttons. So there are problems with the three keys!
What do you think?

Hey guys, how u doin?
Last week and half, I think about buying some xperia phone... I just fell in love with them so its almost uncompatible to find or choose any phone among other brands. But good camera is very important for me.. Not good, but the best x) Was thinking about Xperia U or J maybe P which is more expensive but not as much as I would tolerate..
Whats your experiences with some Xperias and their cameras? Which would be the best choice for my hands to fit 130€ price (from second hand) ?
Thanks for any advice or feedback and have a great day as I did
Cheers from Slovakia, Ewors.

dude,
seems nobody is interested in answering these type Queries.. :silly:
Anyway, i have an Acro S, and i can tell you its the best camera phone i have had..(except the old Sony Ericsson K series and new 2013 series) :good:
Thanks for your reply . I decided to buy xperia S cus I find him very reasonable priced (for about 100€) and I have to say, that I´ve never seen camera like that Its comparable with my HTC desire x) I hopefully think that this phone will surprise me with all his functions at all
i think P
a friend of mine "s" and I have the "p" ..
We compared and it would seem that P makes the picture better.
Maybe because with "WhiteMagic" everything is better
I'm planning to buy the Atrix 4g or Atrix 2, They are 150$ and 190$ respectively on Amazon now. Good hardware specs at a low price. Hence the choice.
Which one should I go for? I know there are issues with gameloft games playing on qHD displays.
Are there hacks to play gameloft games like Nova 2 and Nova 3?
I prefer the Atrix 4G because of the larger internal memory and battery size, but also want my choice to support gameloft games.
Please suggest.
Tegrea 2 is a COMPLETE TOTAL POS .. so if you have to chose between those two go for the A2 that runs on OMAP4430 ..
but IMO ... look for a used S2 or something.. unlocked bootloader so there is no major problems with custom roms (for example there is not HDMI support in any custom rom for the A2) and official 4.1.2 JB .
btw .. battery size by itself means nothing .
I agree with the above.
To add to it I'll say don't waste your money on a Motorola device. They are highly overrated. And imo, the worst devices available.
Samsung gs2 for that price would be decent. Or check for used devices. Might find a nexus 4 for a little more.

Free is my favorite 4 letter word so if I got one for free I wouldn't complain. If I'm going to pay for a new phone, though, I don't want a carrier subsidized, locked down phone. I don't even care if it's locked but can be unlocked. If it's locked at the point of sale, it won't be sold to me.

Thanks for the replies, guys!
So, even for the low price (Atrix - 150$, Atrix 2 - 185$) I shouldn't take the plunge?
iamezio, scared to go for used ones (Samsung Galaxy S2). Not sure how the quality would be if buying online. Checked new ones on Amazon. It was showing 230$. Felt it is still expensive for a model which came 2 years back
To be honest if the bootloader were unlockble and the support didn't die with ICS it would be a great buy .. but right now i don't think it is .
you can look at something like a Galaxy Nexus too .. there is alot of phones in the price range that would do the job.
Thanks iamezio!
You are talking about the Galaxy Nexus S (single core) or the Galaxy Nexus I9250 (dual core). The first one is 210$ and the latter is 250$+
I'm looking for a good dual core mobile, which supports CM versions, plays gameloft games and priced between 175$ - 225$.
Sorry, if I'm asking for too much!

I think your looking in the wrong places.
Check http://celltraderonline.com or possibly even ebay.
While the devices will be used, the folks are very trustworthy, and most phones are in very good shape. It is where I would go to purchase a phone without hesitation. Might not be as easy as amazon, but you'll get a much better device for the money.
Thanks MotoMudder77.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post links. Found a few used S2 mobiles on Swappa (Couldn't find any on celltraderonline).
Please let me know if I can go for it. Thanks in advance.

There is no "Galaxy Nexus S" its just "nexus S " .. so obviously i meant the I9250
I would say buy it.. Development just started.. And this phone isn't gonna die any time soon.. Atleast as long as long as I am here.. Only thing I would say is buy a better battery as well.. The hdmi will be fixed.. Just a matter of time..

Ok I had a look at the sony z ultra today the 6.4" screen one and it looked amazing, the picture whilst watching a movie was better than my tv!
However I have a Samsung galaxy note, im not getting the note 3 as its to small, I prefer samsungs BUT the current galaxy mega 6.3" specs arnt that good compared to the sony.
I have heard that they should be bringing out a galaxy mega with S4 specs or something like that so my questions are -
Does anyone know if they are actually bringing a better mega out?
and
Anyone got any personal reviews on the Z ultra? looked online at reviews but would rather ask someone who has one
Im in the UK so needs to be a UK phone
Thanks
Yes, I am using the Xperia Z Ultra and it is phenomenal
I don't see why anyone would get a Galaxy Mega over this.

really can I ask you a few questions please, I WONT be getting the current mega but like I said I spoke to a Samsung rep she mentioned a newer one may be coming out this year with better specs so I am tempted to wait for that if its true?
So yeh -
How long have you had it, just as if you have installed all your stuff do you ever find it running slow or laggy at all?
Whats the battery like on it, will it last a day if you use it for the odd texts and phone calls etc?
Do you ever find applications/games that are unable to play as it may not support the phone at all?
Think that's it for now ill let you know if I have any more.
Could you also let me know if there are any problems or any good things you can share at all with it please?
Thanks
Battery easily lasts a day. Would require recharge at night though. No, this thing doesn't slow down at all. It does have the faste. processor available. And 2 gb of ram is plenty enough to multitask without the any app foreclosing.

Xperia Z Ultra
Hey guys, please continue your discussion here:
[Discussion] Compare Any and All Devices Here!!
:good:
I know there are similar threads about this but none answers my questions. Please help.
-What I know:
Full HD 5.2 inches vs Ultra HD 5.5 inches and battery a little bit bigger.
-What I want to know:
Which one will last longer without recharging, under the same usage?
Which one has more support by the XDA community? (apps, ROMs, tweaks, guides, etc)
Does any of them have a greater chance than the other of coming hardware problems?
-My focus here is a phone with a good amount of RAM (3GB+), waterproof, front stereo speakers and official support of at least Android Nougat.
Do you know any other phones that can meet these requirements?

Maybe if you live in a realy hot country, i had no issues here in Sweden.
And i suppose now with android 7 the heating problems will be solved for most users but with a cost of lower cpu frequancy.
But if you like to a phone with official support and upgrades you should stay away from z5, i think we might get 1-2 more upgrades.

In my opinion,if you have to choose from z5 and z5p and you live snow country,the answer is z5p.
Z5p got 4k display, the back glass you gonna love it.
Same problem is S810 is suck,(the temperature will keep your hand warm,so you don't need to worry about how to survive in the winter)
The 4k not always.
Dude,MWC2017 ready to end.so XZP is will long?
Take the your time.
Thanks everyone. I'll look up XZ series.

both 4K,maybe camera not better than XZP(at least Z5P don't have 1/960 ),battery...it maybe an issue.....but Z5P still good phone.
anyway.if you will expect you will get enought money to buy XZP ,then go get it.
but if you not?
pls spend your money for your life,you life more important your phone.

point well taken from the economic view! xperias are expensive but all flagship phones are expensive! and top of that any flagship fone of any brand running on android at any given time is always cheaper than iphone (in both price and fair trade) and still they are selling their phones all over the world way more than xperias...
i own z5p and trust me its beauty in your hands! and now since its almost 18 months of its release. you will find it way cheaper than before!
battery life of android N on z5p is not very good! but you keep your z5p on last android 6.0.1 build .305 (Dec2016). it works amazing!

Yes.Z5P its beauty! No doubt with that.that even since it came out to now,i never change my mind.
What I try to say is could wait.after XZP on the market,the people get the chance to know it.bad or not,we will get a answer.at the same time is Z5P can use more low price to get it.
XZP or Z5P? You will know.good thing worth to wait.
And I am using Z5 dual gold(E6683).i am still waiting sony give me 7.0!!!
It's been two years since i first had my hands on this 'affordable nexus' and everyday i've enjoyed using it. I've been using devices with stock like android since a long time. So, I'd like some suggestions based on these things:
1. Stock android/iOS
2. Not a huge phone, small one would be good (iPhone SE maybe?)
Please, your suggestions are valuable.

In a world where smartphones are getting bigger and bigger every year, small phones (which are good) are really hard to find. You can look into the Sony Xperia compact line-up or else an iPhone.

Oh yeah. I tried to get a z3 compact before but ended up buying the Moto G3. I don't really like iPhones but there's no denying that it's a solid phone. So iPhone SE should be good. That's all the suggestions I can offer for now. Good luck:fingers-crossed:
