Xperia U hands down. Never really into plasticky phones.

Xperia U
Flawless victory

Xperia U

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.

I consider this a taste thing: I always found the vivid colors of BRAVIA Engine better then anything else ( yea, even better than AMOLED yellowish ones).

I love the design of Xperia U.. it looks exactly like Xperia S.. I gotta pick it even though i'm a bit Sammy Boy! XD

vota
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] Sony Xperia Miro

Is Xperia Miro any good? Because I was wondering of buying the phone but I never tryed it
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app

"good" is subjective. A phone is good only if it suites your personal and individual needs from a phone. The question you actually should've asked "will this phone suite my needs?"
Sent from Xperia Arc S

since you're on E15i which is Xperia X8, then yeah Miro is far better than Xperia X8, I guess it's a decent low-end phone (well maybe low-mid-end lol), but the screen is a little bit pixelated (low resolution for 3,5 inches).
I have miro and J and they are basically the same although miro's screen is not the best.

I think...

I think sony xperia miro is good phone despite its bad screen but i guess u will get used to it also it is quite laggy however u can dowload custom kernel and overclock it from 800 to 1ghz which is lighting fast.
Dont overclock more than 1ghz or it will OVERHEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:good:

[Q] Can i go for a xperia J????

Hi guys,
Im new to this forum and im going to buy my first android mobile. Im thinking to go for xperia j. I've gone through all the specs of this but still im slightly doubtful if this will get lagged after upgrading to JB.
My usage is
Hardcore gamer in pc but not in mobile. Will play in mobile bit rarely.
Heavy browsing and social networking.
App lover.... will install lots of apps.
not a big fan of mobile video recording.
Clicks pictures occasionally.
Does a lot of IM.
So now somebody pleaase tell me if i can go for xperia j. If not, what alternatives do i have.

android 4.1 will bring performance improvements like project butter = Vsync tripple buffering & intuitive touch. the internel memory is only 2gb. & app data partition is 750mb i think but there are ways around that to install more if needed. all other alternative devices like u & sola wont be updated to 4.1 jelly bean. i my self came from xperia ray i find xperia j better. with a few tweak scripts and things its alot faster than when i first got it. hope this clarifies things for you.

No mafter buddy if it will be jelly bean
My friends have problems with this mobile
Also it is of around 300$ still not capable of playing 720p videos
Also it has 480*854 resolution but it has andreno 200 which is quite outdated for this price
Better go for xperia u(no sd card support), xperia go, xperia sola
Samsung galaxy ace 2 these are far better for same price perform 3 times faster than xperia j:victory:
I am also a hardcore gamer on pc
But I use android for playing also when I am not on pc
As it got some exactly same games like pc
Mc3(battlefied 2) max payne 1, GTA vice city etc and the mobiles I suggested u will run these games ultra smooth

which mobile are u using nishuy21??
im not much concerned about 720p videos....thats ok for me.....
i do some serious multi tasking.... n i dont wanna get any lag while i do...this is my major concern..

More cores don't mean better performance my girlfriend has a xperia u and it lags and the screen redrawing is rediculase. I game a lot on my j and the only game it struggled is GTA my Xperia ray did aswell untill I overclocked it to 1.2ghz and then it was fine.

im using this J almost 2 month..
nothing goes wrong so far
wide screen
beauty device , slim elegant
and its cheap
if you want to stay in stock firmware , locked , just use V6 Super Charger make ur J peform better
based 512MB ram , 1GHz single core , i say its not for gaming , but i play a lot game on it LOL
i use EPSX there, lil bit lag only , some HD game , lil bit delay too , but low game , working fine..
if u decided to to unlock bootloader
theres is a Kernel ICS Vengeance overclocked it to 1.3GHz , its fine ofc *main problem cant use the CWM backup/restore*
if you want to use ClockworkMod working 100% just find "adfad666" thread
and CyanogenMod 10.0 jLo fxp 205 so far , its stable for now with sub lil bugs left , just wait till we get full fixed CM 10.0 , and J ready to rock
so far i think J its a cheap but valuable devices to learn new things *since im new on android , still got a lot to learn*
and J its not build to be extreme gaming device imo.

I think yes, this phone is cheap and it does have what you need..
Its around $210 in my country..
And this will be update to JB

I have xperia tipo, galaxy s2
And my friends have xperia go, sola and ace 2 these are best in this price
And u can search a bit at xda u will find xperia j is lagging for some people
And if u are a gamer than u must know the performance difference between single and dual core CPU
Also if u don't care about 720p videos but if u are getting 720p video playback than there should be no problem..
U can compare the review at gsmarena.com of xperia j ,go , sola and galaxy ace2 u will find yourself... The difference:good:
U want multitasking the Mobiles I suggested u above give u better.. Than xperia j
And also galaxy ace 2 has 768mb ram and is also upgradable to jellybean...

Should I buy xperia j? With all those problems?

I'm planning to order an xperia j in a week or two,but i saw that many people have problems with it.Some say that sony just released some defective phones,and that's why.
I'm just scarred that I might end up with a defective one too,sure I can change the os,but if the problem is hardware,then what?!
Also,the big problem is that there isn't a big error,like the phone not starting up,so if I take it to be repaired with the warranty,what am I gonna say? Hey,the phone lags in games,that's the problem?!

then dont get a j. games like gta maxpayne and so on are not ment for a 1ghz processors. you can always get a 2011 flag ship for the same money but thats 2 year old hardware. its like the old saying goes you get what you pay for. the j's rival galaxy ace 2 even though its a duo core its only a 800mhz processor same as xperia miro. i my self love my j its a good little phone in my opinion.

No, go for Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo, Xperia Pro. There is better out there for same price.
And these are not faulty models. Everything is working ok in every model. Only phones above cost the same and are better (processor, games, screen).
Don't worry about defective phones as they are not.

why is xperia j faulty?

if u got low money , J its suitable for u , since x acro s are expensive , and un-removable battery
J got long live battery .. and moveable
J maybe have singel core , but remember more core , more battery use ,
some xperia have dual core , but when i visit their forum , a lot of them want to "off" the other core , and they still on GB.
J got an offcial update to JB at the end of march 2013..
if u have more money , Sammy S3 mini , HTC sensation XE its not a bad choice imo.

My gf using xperia j.. XJ is a good phone, but not for gaming.. its suitable for you if you need a phone only for entertain media and messeging.

I've bought this telephone and i love it! It's very cool, but with stock ICS it sometimes lag... with cm10 i haven't more lags and i can overclock my CPU... it's a very good phone!

Go for Xperia go, u, sola or galaxy ace (though it had 800mhz processor it is twice fast than j)
Don't go with arc s, neo etc they are worse than XJ....:laugh:

It is not faulty
It is due to low specs of j
As u see only andreno 200 which is quite weak for it...

@up
Stop it!!
You're wrong and stop writing untruth!!!
Even the phones like SGS II, SGS 3 can be lag, both in daily work and games, so don't write with a weak GPU that is in the XJ because it is not normal adreno200 but it's significantly improved. Just go to my channel on YouTube and look at yourself as advanced 3D games work on SXJ

[Q] Sony Xperia J

Hi,
My provider is Bell. I have an iPhone 4, I'm considering the Sony Xperia J, because I have had the Sony Xperia T and liked it. (I get the two sony's will be very different). I was just wondering if any Sony Xperia J users could share the experience they have had with the phone and could recommend if the phone is worth $179. Does anyone know if Xperia J can flash Liquid Smooth?
Thanks!

Hello! Sony Xperia J is very good phone for Sony's Mid-Range. Ice Cream Sandwich(4.0) android is very buggy on this phone, home screen and app drawer lag on scrolling. On Jelly Bean(4.1) Xperia J works smoother, no screens lag, no drawer lag. This device is definitely not for games. If you buy thiis phone for Social Networks and Multimedia buy this phone, if you buy this phone for gaming Xperia J is definitely bad phone for you. Good Luck!

GregRobinson said:
That's what I think ,Xperia J is sucks!!!!!!
System/Stock ROM
no matter it's 4.0 or 4.1,it's still laggy,
It's not a mid range phone!!!!
It's a low range phone with a mid range screen....
512MB RAM but Stock ROM reserves RAM for itself.so you only got ~390 MB RAM
You can say: 4.0 apps runs on 4.1 (xperia home,boot animation,lock screen...)
Don't Expect for sony's update...it's disappointed me again and again
Apps
Don't think about run 3D GAMES in xj,(lag)
Don't think about using it for facebook...instagram...etc...,keep loading... loading... loading... for a long time,
Don't think about using Chrome in it,IT"S LAG IN XJ!!!!!(Firebox beta is better...)
Storage:
phone memory:7xxMB
Internal: 1.2 GB
It's full if you install real racing 3 in J,you will only have 7xxMB for other games
Speed:
Equal to Internet Explorer
Media:
if you lucky,first time have a media scanning,you won't have to wait for ~5mins to load your media in SD card
otherwise,you will need to wait for 5 mins,in that 5 mins,you shouldn't start the apps "Walkman",
you will get a "No Music" and all playlist will gone
you can call the Walkman apps as a lite version
xloud is fine,but it only have xloud,
-----------------------------------------------------
If you root j,you will get improve in CPU speed which reduce lag(setCPU,seeder)
BUT,not so many developers care about XJ
CWM not support 4.1,
