[Q] Xperia Arc or Optimus Black P970?

Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy an Android phone and have narrowed it down to these two phones. There doesn't seem to be much between them in the specs. Are there any good/bad points worth knowing about either phone that might help me decide?
I intend to root and probably install CFW, both seem quite well supported in that regard. Is there much difference between the processors?..
Optimus Black - 1 GHz Cortex-A8 processor, PowerVR SGX530 GPU, TI OMAP 3630 chipset
Xperia Arc - 1GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon
Thanks!

Arc. The screen is miles better =]

[Q] Difference between 800Mhz Cortex-A5 and 800Mhz ARMv6

Hello,
I already have a Samsung Galaxy Pro with a 800 Mhz Cortex A5 processor and I was looking up the Sony Xperia tipo and found that it has a 800 MHz ARMv6 I want to know what is the difference between the two processors.
Thanks.

The arm6 will smoke the arm5 probably take more over clock and have a better graphics proccesor

Thanks bbrad! I was just about to ask the same question!!

What? All the new phones are armv7,
And the majority of older and cheaper phones are armv6. Its a completely different thing from cortex. Cortex a8 is what's in the sensation and gs2, cortex a9 or a hybrid of it is in the gs3 and all the current generation phones, and cortex a15 is not in any phones yet but there are partially a15 based phones. Each generation is said by arm to be twice as fast and efficient than the last. Anything armv6 is probably old and won't be able to run as well as an armv7 device. However while they are related armv6 is not the same as cortex a6.

The ARM Cortex-A5 is ARMv7 and is newer and better than the ARMv6
The Samsung Galaxy Pro with ARM Cortex A5 has a faster graphics output and memory bus so will performe better than the Sony Xperia tipo ARM11-ARMv6
so Samsung Galaxy Pro has the better processor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ARM_microprocessor_cores
The ARM Cortex A5 ARMv7 is intended to replace the ARM11-ARMv6 for use in devices. Compared to the ARMv6, the Cortex-A5 offers the advanced features of the ARM v7 architecture over ARM11-ARMv6 architectures e.g VFPv4 and NEON advanced SIMD. It also allows devices to run current software

hello i want to buy either motorola razr d3(which will available worlwide soon) or htc desire x
my question are :
1) which are more powerful in term of perfomance and touch screen sensitivity(not looking for gaming perfomance)
snapdragon s4 msm8225
dual core 1 ghz ARMv7 Cortex A5
adreno 203
vs
mediatek 6577
dual core 1.2ghz ARMv7 Cortex A9 MPCore (not sure)
power sgx531
2) is it ARM Cortex version affect perfomance?
btw, currently i am using sony xperia go, and this device are suck, hang all over, very lag, and not sensitive at all

http://www.notebookcheck.net/MediaTek-MT6577-Processor.88213.0.html
mediatek, better gpu and cpu. best battery life. and yes, cortex version affect performance. cortex a7 is newer than cortex a9, it is the new generation cortex a5. buy razr d3, i want to buy it too.

Arc S or Sony Xperia J

Hello, I quickly need advice. Im going to buy new phone (previous xperia x8). And I don't know which Arc S or sony xperia J.
Arc S has bigger screen, and it's cpu is 1,4ghz, The J 1ghz. But one my friend says, that xperia J cpu is better than Arc because it's new.
1.4 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255T Snapdragon (Arc S) vs. GHz Qualcomm MSM7227A
Thanks for help

Please copy your post and paste it in any of the below threads stuck in this General section:
[Discussion] What's your next smartphone / What should I buy
[Discussion] Compare Any and All Devices Here!!
Just to avoid duplication of threads, and you'll get better feedbacks there.
IMO, Xperia J will be better as the product is newer than Arc S by 1 year. Its always advisable to buy newer released products in the market.
