Hi everyone..
Been with smartphones pretty long and lasty Im using Galaxy S2.
For several reasons I want to change it or possibly upgrade. First is My eye has an issue followed up that my tears do not generate fast to refresh the eyes, so i gotta leave my work on pc for long , and for that alternatives are mobile for internet etc. and 2ndly im a big tired of the galaxy series for deisgn and everything else.
What I need it to be uses is:
Cool Music Support, since im a pro musician
Internet support
Often camera usage
Few vdo
Few gaming
and good speed
modding aspects
Moderate battery probable is full 1 day.
I was checking on the recent phones, I was always with ericsson before...and I found:
xperia s,Acro S,Xperia SL and the new upcoming T, also the ION.
ION and Xperia SL seems to be very low moding aspects?
Also the HTC one x and x+ but they seem to have battery issues?
And The Lg optimus 4x hd
I was also taking a look for tabs, specially the samsung tab 2 both 7 and 10 inches, but the processors seem to be a low ?
My budget is about 550 usd...
Please give me your valauable suggestions in general i have been chking all of them about 1 month gotta decide and get one by tomorrow.
Thanks all!

would u guys prefer buyin xperia x10 or galaxy s.............?
i mean bth r equally awe$$ome fones......but
GS has only 5 mp cam wid no flash............
while X10 has 8.1 wid flash but has some probs.............
No Questiion, Galaxy S. Better Hardware, better Software. If you want a Cam, buy a dedicated one.
oh evn i'm wid GS...........but speria has 8.1 mp...........only diff tht stps me.........
hey does either 1 of 'em hav free navigation?
I have experience with both and hands down the Galaxy S is just much more comfortable to me. It's camera is still good enough for taking some quick snaps, which is only what I'd use a phone for. It's always held up to running games, apps etc. smoothly. I have had issues with the usb though which are a little off putting.
X10 is still not a bad phone and I'd suggest seeing if you can try them both out in store before you buy either as a lot of it is down to user preference.
SGS
Galaxy S would be better if u want to have MIUI ROM official supported Greatest android mod IMHO)
so i think frm wht u guys say galaxy s is btter............kk
OF course the Galaxy S is better than the current crop of Xperias, due to the mass of better tech in the Galaxy S I would think
Sony Ericsson are probably the worse smartphones to date, they are cheap looking, badly built and break easy. X10 is no exception, while instead the SGS is still a pretty wicked phone, especially for gaming purposes, you'll still be able to enjoy tegra games for a fair bit of time. It's also a really cheap phone right now, a great bang for the buck, about 300€ and you'll have it, if you know where to buy over the internets ofc
I'm planning to buy a new phone & have refined to
1. Motorola defy +
2. Sony xperia neo v
3. Htc one v
please please do help me. I would go for rooting also. As i'm not a technical person but i'm a good learner and will catch up fast.
Please skip giving me link as i've been doing this for 7 days. So please i'll need some personal advice.
I've joined this site because i found it amazing.
Please help me.
i have neo v , it looks good , but display isn't so good like galaxy s, its luminosity set to max is darker than galaxy s set to middle. This is the only think i don't like to neo v
The defy is best,just be sure to root it.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
Motorola Defy+ for sure
You should choose the defy+. The specs are similar and it may not look as good as the others, the defy+ is water resistant (so you can use it when its raining and not be afraid of it breaking down) and if you accidentally drop it on the ground, the screen won't scratch a bit. This is my experience with my own MOTOROLA DEFY. But the price is one of the benefits of it being so good.
OH and also remember to root and put a custom rom on it and it will own up both of the other phones in speed tests
I have a Defy+, or at least had two. Still have one. Both the little devils were rather too fond of crashing and rebooting. To be honest I've neither rooted or loaded a custom rom which may have solved the reboot issue. That asides it's a good little phone. I took an upgrade of an HTC One S. It is bigger and better (possibly ) EXCEPT The Motorola has by far the better mobile network signal reception of the 2 phones. I would have said have a look at the One V but not so sure now? Guess they all have their issues?
if u like outdoor activity buy xperia active n it will be my second phone next season
fyi: search xperia active torture test on youtube
I have got the xperia active. An awesome phone.
But don´t forget the display is small!
HTC One V, 4GB internal memory, Video 720p,
Android OS, v4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and Beats Audio. but if you are concern about the money I would go with Motorola too, better CPU than the sony, but sony got better camera than Motorol , but still I would stick with HTC - Motorola - Sony
Hi
I got some questilom as Iphone user I dont know anything about android. Started to learn something 2 days ago
Going to buy a new phone but cant decide.
I hate big screens and stuffs like that so my decision is down to :
Xperia U
Galaxy S Advance
Ace2 ( cant cause still waiting to hit italy market )
On this forum they spoke very good of Xperia U vs Ace2.
Anyway, the list of question is long :-D
1 ) A friend of mine told me that every phone that isnt from google sucks cause of lack of fast support and upgrades of android that takes months while google its out asap.
Those 2 phones are okay ?
2 ) What u would suggest between xperia U and Galaxy S Advance, and reasons. Its worth 140 euro more cost the Galaxy S Advance ?
3 ) Both can be upgrade easily to Android 4.0 or I need to be skilled in that ?
4 ) About hacking stuffs etc those phones are good and supported by comunity ? Cause cant find any forum for them and makes me scared
thanks a lot for your time, i hope to be an active part of this comunity soon
any feeedback pls ? gotta buy 1 soon
Galaxy S Advance over Xperia U:
• 768 MB RAM
• Slimmer
• Support SD card
• 4" TFT Super AMOLED
• Bluetooth v3.0
• Gorilla Glass display
Xperia U over Galaxy S Advance:
• Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine
• Sony 3D surround sound audio technology
• USB On-the-go support
Better Samsung Galaxy S Advance.
thanks a lot for the reply, but those points I got them also from reviews online.
I'm more interested in other questions .

1. I think those 2 phone are okay.
2. Sony planned upgrade to v4.0 for Xperia U. No info about Galaxy S Advance, but you should wait for custom ROM.
3. I think Galaxy S Advance will soon supported by comunity. Not sure about Xperia U.
ouch so if I buy it tomorrow I have a phone with gingerbread still on , till a future upgrade -.-
Take a look at xperia Sola and P too. Those are similar in price to Advance (I'm not sure, we don't have Advance in market yet) and are better spec-wise than Xperia U. And none of them are huge, Xperia P is 4" like Advance, more RAM, better camera but worse display (I think, Advance is Super AMOLED while P is TFT, but I'm not sure how noticeable it actually is in person. Some people say P is actually better.), Advance has better replaceable battery and SD card slot.
I have no idea how the support from moders will look. I'm thinking about Advance too, but it's not top of the line phone, merely an upgrade to Galaxy S and as such it might not get any custom ROMs whatsoever. Or it might.
well i gone to the mall and saw they havent xperia U but advanced galaxy S its at 339 while Samsung nexus galaxy its at 399
I think gonna take the nexus then, seems so much better
Yes, for this price, you should get the nexus i guess.
What is everyone's opinion on the best $100 (+/- $20) Android phone. Can be New or Used. Factor in best hardware, dev support, etc... I need a phone for my 11 yr old daughter and can only seem to come up with the Pantech Burst @ $120 new. Thoughts?
Just bought an Xperia x10 for my girlfriend off ebay for 125.00 US. Its great so far however the software update (2.3.3) has caused the camera to stop working. I installed feralab v27 fire which has fixed that. However, I now get a wifi error.
I also saw the Xperia x10 mini pro on ebay for about 90.00 US.
You should try asking here mate:

The burst is far better than those two...
Tbh, the Pantech Burst in terms of specs are probably the best you can get at that price. Its a dual core Snapdragon S4 with a gig of RAM

Best $200 Android phone
I would absolutely prefer a Nokia WP device, they are beautiful and have lots of nice software extras, but I would take any android device. 6 of the top 9 best rated phones on Moonar store are android smartphone. For this zopo c2 mtk6589 It's quad core mobile phone android 4.2 RAM 1GB ROM 32GB 5.0 inch FHD screen. Especially like this 13.0MP camera and up to 4096×3072 pixels resolution.
Well, I'm pretty happy with my ZTE v970 with custom JB ROM (Bruno), but for an 11 yo girl a well known brand with everything working out of the box is obviously a better choice. I'd probably go to a store with her, see what's available at the price range and let her choose what she likes best... looks probably count more for her than hardware
just please, dont buy a china copy of original phone, like clone of s4 or s3... it is really bad phones

Hello all,
As my old Xperia X8 curently rests in peace I have the chance to buy a new smartphone device. The thing is that as a college freshman my budget is as low as it gets, so the purpose of this post is that you guys, the elite of the net when it comes to smartphones, could help me choose wisely.
My goal is to find a smartphone that I can find here in my homeland (Greece to be particular) or could order from abroad, that wouldn't cost more that 130-145 € (shipping included or low enough if possible).
What I'm looking for mainly is a fast processor with good ram capacity that whouldn't let me down at multitasking, web browsing, app executing etc.To be percise, what I'm looking for is the best and fastest processor/ram combination I can find within that budget.
From there on, my preferences focus on the camera,wifi capabilities (speed and range), screen size and looks/styling with that particular order.
My manufactor preferences are Samsung and Sony of course. But if any other mobile manufactor has what I'm looking for I would be glad to take a look.
I myself have made a small research on possible devices I could buy. Unfortunately I am not a phone specialist.I'm far from it, (although I would like to get there one day hopefully) so these are some devices I came up with during a quick search at a greek online store:
http://www.skroutz.gr/c/40/kinhta-t....html?order_dir=asc&price_max=150&price_min=0
If you cannot open the link for some reason, or if you just don't wanna, the devices are:
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2
Sony Xperia M
Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 (S7582)
Samsung Galaxy Core I8260
Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus 3G
All of the above are within my budget.I lean towards xperia m because from reviews i found online it seems to have the best cpu performance from those 5, it's the only xperia sooo and because I never owned a samsung before so i don't know how it would feel yet.
So please guys if you can, suggest me the best option from these 5 or a better one that you can come up with that follows those requirements I listed above.Your help is really important to me and I would be really greatful to you if you had time to devote to my silly requests.

You should definitely go for Motorola Moto G because it comes with Kitkat out of the box and Specs are truly awesome, Camera is pretty good too.. on the other hand HTC desire x is a pretty out dated phone , and 601 may be a nice choice but Moto G offers more in Less price ..
Lenovo!!!!
Quad-core power
there more buying sites .. Like antealife inthebox and and and ..
This is no advertisment! Andthere also other lenovo phons with great spec. And good price.

I've been a big Samsung Fan, but somehow it has changed in the last few months. I'd take the Sony, it looks better and is not a "everybody has got it- samsung"

honestly the moto g is my no1 preference but as i told you i couldn't find it cheaper than 195 euros.I found it on sites abroad but the shipping and taxes would raise the price to the same level. If anyone could advise me on how to obtain it in a cheaper price like the US and India ones that would be awesome!!!!

it's like you're asking me to spend my money for half a year of use, maximum! I'm a poor student, not a naive Richy McRich!
I personally don't think Xperia is worth it's price. It has a lot of issues with it's software from my and other people I know's experience. So... I'd recommend anything else but the Sony Xperia brand.
Based on your list, I would chose the xperia m !
