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.

Galaxy R (Dual-core 1Ghz ARM-Cortex A8/9 with Tegra 2)
LG Optimus 2x (This one is obvious)
Motorola Defy (I think it's not sold anymore - TI OMAP 3630 Dual-core 800Mhz with PowerVR SGX530)
Galaxy S Advance (Not very sure about phone specs)
Nokia Lumia 808 Pureview (Don't get me started)
Herpderp Defy.
Thanks man. Had a quick look at your suggestions:
R is bigger (i personally find Ace size optimal for a phone rather than PDA) and more expensive (another £60), so the Ace2 = more bang for buck.
Optimus, very similar, better spec(?) - dislike the 4 hardbuttons layout.
S Advance appears to have 1ghz dual core. But at this stage looks like a 295£ phone.
Wouldn't touch a Nokia smartphone.
Ace 2 it is then!
The new acepta Its really Cool !! ;D

The 2x is almost similar to the R , with Tegra 2 as well
Herpderp Defy.
More suggestions:
Samsung Galaxy W (Probably a smaller version of Note)
Galaxy Note (Quite huge)
Galaxy SII (everyone's favourite)
Galaxy Ace Plus (LOL it's not that bad)
HTC Sensation XE/XL (XE = beats , XL = bigger screen)
HTC Edge (is it out yet ? Lol)
Motorola Defy+ (An upgraded version of my phone)
The badass Xiaomi phone (LOL)
Samsung Focus S (WP7 variant of SII)
Herpderp Defy.
Note really is massive.
W is a good equivalent, but prefer dual-core.
Sensation is another 100£ more. S II another 200£
Edge seemingly not available yet.
Xiaomi doesn't look too bad at all!!! - http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/xiaomi-phone-review/
Defy+ 4 buttons, sorry just not for me.
Ace + should be Ace pointless.
Focus S is a Windows phone...aka yuck.

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.

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.

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

[Q] Single Core or Dual Core phone which to buy

Hi,
I am currently tight on budget and the only phones i can afford are Sony Xperia Neo V or Sony Xperia U.
My main usage will be trying out different roms on the phone, medium gaming, browsing. Camera on both phones is enough for my requirement.
After buying any of the phone i will have to use it atleast for 1 year or 2.
Concerns:
Considering todays market and this multiple core talk should i go for Sony Xperia U?
Sony Xperia U has no expandable memory, will it be a problem from modding perspective?
Is dual core necessary to stay relevant for upcoming android os ?

DUALCORE single wont be able to keep up with upcoming games android os etc if you need a budget phone look on the internet for a galaxy s2 i have seen them for £200 do some looking around and you will find a good price
but if you cant get the dualcore one single core is for windows

Moving to Q&A
You didn't actually say your budget and the prices for the phones you've listed.
Based on what you've actually said, go for the Xperia U. Dual core will make a world of difference if you plan to game "medium". Single core in my opinion is dying out. One worry about both phones though, is the fact that they both only have 512mb of RAM. That's a little small in my opinion.
Back to the thing about budget, SGS2s can now be purchased for under $400 AUD if you look around. That would be the best deal for your money - if you could afford it.
On top of that, the Xperia U looks much better

he's probably right. according to the roadmap leaked on some websites, the last two SONY phones will be launched this year are:
xperia gx and xperia sx
.. still 5mp cam should be 8mp
still the same designe no more change ,
hope the performance is change ,
yes design is perfect , hope the phone doesnt "grow"
sony should increase performance and better cam (8mb)
interestingly and insertions from old and from new model will be interchangeable?

A goodbye Story :)

Okay after owning a year I finally sold my Optimus 3D [P925]. Its quite a great phone, but sadly I never used the 3D feature . Anyway Thanks to every one who help me on making the Optimus 3D experience more pleasure. The only reason I am selling this phone is because of its weight, thickness and 2D camera quality [Photos, but the Full HD videos are good ].
Anyway cause I don't like bigger screens, I will stick with another 4.3" screen [Maybe I will purchase a HTC One S, Galaxy S2], but I didn't decided yet.
I will come back to this forum though to help others with as much as I know
Thanks Again to all contributors in this Section/Thread

Sony xperia S (CPU 1.5GHz ,, dual core) or xperia SL (1.7GHz dual core)
they have 362 ppi with BRAVIA Engine that means better than galaxy S3 or other HD screen phones .
it has 8 M or 13 M camera (I can't remeber )
