Hi,
I wanted to buy Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, but i'm not sure about the speaker (when calling).
Is the speaker good? could be boostd?
Maybe you can even recommend about other phone.
What I really need to have:
Loud speaker (for calling)
A memory card extension
Not giant like the Samsung Galaxy 3
Reasonable CPU
Reasonable camera
up to 530 dollars
Thank you very much.

Sony is known for its sound and camera quality so you don't need to worry about the speaker.
Xperia would be good for you
yeah the arc s is good choice but arc s wont be updated to jb.. btu has great roms

Hello,
I need a new phone and had a special look at the Sony Live Walkman and Sony XPERIA mini. I really like the mini’s compact size, but the second main usage of my phone is as an mp3 player. I currently own the w800 and it kicks ass .
It seems that the difference between those models is only a slightly bigger display (not in resolution), and since I usually don't annoy people on the streets with loud music, I could relinquish the two external speakers. And the walkman button is a failed design concept! On my w800 I can start the mp3 player while the phone is locked. Having to slide-unlock both phones I can - while already there - start the walkman also by touching the walkman app on the display
So, is there anything I missed? Is the sound really that better on the walkman? Looks like identical hardware.

Thanks in advance!
And please let me know whether you own one of those phones.
The Holy Cow!
why dont you try posting this question on the general forums of the two devices btw i dont own any but i have use both of them and the sound even using earphones is by far better on the walkman but it does feels bulky the mini is nice but the fact that the screen is so small really annoys me but that is maybe just me,either of phone is a good option and thank to fxp both have cm7 and cm9

The above title did not appear in the search section so I am starting this thread.
Do you use music much on this phone? Do you like it?
I notice it has xLoud, Clear Phase, Clear Bass, Clear Stereo, Surround Sound and Clear Audio. I understand that sometimes these things can be gimmicks / marketing junk but sometimes they can be useful. This is a good feature set for music lovers.
I notice that on GSM Arena tests that they rate the audio quality highly. I follow their guides often but not always. Audio quality is also subjective and occasionally I disagree with their conclusions. (e.g. X10 Mini). They rate the audio quality here if you wish to view it: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_l-review-934p7.php
Obviously the sound quality is fantastic. It is one of the best on a phone I have ever heard.
It doesn't beat my friends Stereo Beats Audio Speakers in HTC One but I'm satisfied with it them. I can agree with above that it is the best on a phone I have ever heared.
That is really impressive. Maybe the audio is underrated on this phone. And hello fellow Paddy!
Sound quality is quite good with both speaker an earphones thanks to settings included by Sony. The sound is incredibly loud with integrated speaker and does not show any sign of weakness. The sound is so loud that I don't need XLoud.
But the speaker is quite focused on high tones. That's the only "bad" thing.
I enabled xLOUD and I find my speaker too loud even on lowest setting when using Vine i. e.
But sound quality in Walkman and Poweramp I just superb. Even with my uber crappy earbuds
Wytapane z Xperii L.
For a lower range device Xperia l really got impressive speakers

I am not satisfied. My old w880i was far fuller than this. The earpiece is so lousy. The bonus headphone that came with the phone wasn't helpful either. A 10 year old megabass earpiece sounded so much better. Eventually, I just had to ditch it in favor of the much better xperia C.

I'm only talking about the audio quality. There are other reasons why I dumped the L (lousy cam as well). But I can say with certainty that the audio on the C is better. Perhaps it's in the headsets. I wouldn't have dumped the L if I weren't happy with it. Because it's a sony, the walkman app is a big draw for me, so if i'm not happy with it, i'm most likely going to either try another model, or buy another brand altogether. But i'm now VERY happy with the C, despite having less features and not having a loud xloud speaker.
audio quality on L
Another possible reason why sony bundled a better sounding earpiece is that the C is capable of playing .flac files. Haven't tried whether the L could or couldn't since i've dumped it already... It's not in the official specs of the L, so i'll assume it can't...
phone history: motorola microtac - dead and gone. ericsson ga628 dead. ericsson g688 died of old age. ericsson r520 still working but no back light. ericsson t68i - stolen ericsson t630 dead. sonyericsson s600 dead. sonyericsson k750i irrepairable flex. sonyericsson w800 flex problem. walkman 880i stolen . Nokia n8 - still working
Just bought Xperia L
Walkman app is very good.
Audio quality is very good too, i have a previous S3 and Nexus S which is on wolfson, with voodoo sound(used the bundled S3 headpiece on both), coming from it i know the difference, I though the Xperia L has bad audio quality, but its on the bundled sony headset, even the free Headphone not so good, but when i plugged in my samsung S3 headset, it was good, didn't know the difference from my wolfson powered S3 and Nexus S.
For a midrange phone, 2mp on front should be the norm, my LG optimus black has it. Slow autofocus too. so avoid the phone shake while waiting for the slow autofocus, the dedicated camera button is tough to press, shaking the phone while pressing it.
Cons: slow autofocus, front camera, bad bundled headset.
Pros: everything not on cons for its price, i like the audio, battery, net integration, gps, screen size, form factor and design.
Hi,
I want to buy a new phone. My main requirements are:
1) Excellent audio quality (through in-ears)
2) Seamless access to Google services
3) Good battery life
4) Decent camera
I have zeroed in on the Galaxy S4 and Xperia Z1 Compact in my price range. I like the screen of the S4, but I'm finding very mixed reviews about its audio output capabilities. However I like the Z1 compact more (I like its squarish industrial design), but am unable to find any detailed reviews about its other features. The Z1 compact is around Rs.4000 (~$80) more than the S4, so I'd be spending more if i got that.
Any suggestions?

The Galaxy S4 and the Z1C are in two very different inch ranges. If the screen inches are not an important point for you, between these two phones, I think the Z1C is a good choice. However If I'd need a phone with the features that you described, I'd take a HTC ONE. I also suggest you to take a look to LG G2, and to Motorola Moto X. Good luck with your new phone!!
Go with the japanese
I think Z1C is a better choice =)
Any1 know what I can do with that? My XA plays music on headphones quiet as hell
Comparing to my old T3 it is like 3 times louder with MH1c..

I only use Sony Bluetooth sbh20 earphones but they sound great, actually really loud compared to my old m2 on earphones and through the speaker, sound quality is also much better than it was on stock Sony music on my. Have you tried different earphones which ones are you using the ones that come with it aren't that great anyway, I'd avoid anything not branded that are really cheap as the sound reproduction would be awful anyway.

Got to try out my mdrv 700. Never tested good headphones or receiver on that phone.
Hello XZ owners!
I was wondering what the quality of the DAC is on this phone?
I'm looking for phones that have good quality sound/DAC like the axon 7 that doesn't require me to tweak with Viper.
I like the XZ because it's water resistant, micro SD, and allegedly has hi-fi DAC. And Sony is apparently somewhat dev friendly.
Considering selling my OnePlus 3 for this phone, or picking it up as a phone to take out on the weekends.
Any feedback is appreciated.
For me sound quality is as good as it should be. But sound is very subiective, i would recomend to take ur faverite music(flac or what ever format u prefer) on sd card, ur hf and go to retail store which is offering sony and try it by your self. I persoally didnt herd better music like xperia xz and sony mdr-zx770bn, aptx compression is what needed.
Well the volume is not the highest, quality wise its ok but not the best also, its not on the iPhone level lets say. But I'm no sound expert by any means, I'm just comparing sound on the same ear/headphones.
I believe Samsung, LG and HTC have better sound, but its been a while since I used them so I'm not sure.
I would say that since the Nougat Update its very good ! Im using Shure SE215 and I hear no hiss at all (Before Update a bit, after the update none (if only music is played )). Im also owning the A35 Walkman from Sony and I would say that the XZ is very good if you think about it as a Phone and not as a DAP, as a DAP It would be still very nice !

I don't mean to be disrespectful in anyway, but i think the consensus is HTC and LG have much better DAC than Samsung. It's somewhat subjective, but when you compare the v20 and HTC 10 and AXON 7, they have the best sound on flagship phones lately. Thanks for your input ?
