[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 =]

Xperia Play Smoother than DS. But why??

Hey Guys! :laugh:
I've Got a Question to the developers because they might understand this!
I've got a Desire S with the same Snapdragon S2 as Xperia play. and i noticed that on the xperia play heavy games like Gta 3 and Modern combat works way smoother than Desire s.
Take a look at this:
Desire S:
Snapdragon S2
ARMV7
MSM8255
Adreno 205
1ghz processor with Dual-channel 333 MHz LPDDR2
Xperia Play: Exactly the same as here above :good:

So I don't understand it?
isn't there an driver so you can update it to perform like the xperia play or some like that?
I hope for response :laugh:

There can be a lot of reasons.
Are both of them running stock ROMs?
If it is, then that is your answer. Sense is just too heavy. It won't leave much RAM to other apps and processes and it has a lot of optimizations to keep the battery use small.
If they are running custom ROMs, then the answer is because the ROM on the XPeria is just better optimized.

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

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.

Please Suggest A good mobile phone under 300$ or 20,000rs

Hi guys could you suggest me a decent phone with good specifications. I have suggested a few of them though I am really confused between them. The XoloX1000 has an intel 2.0GHz processor whereas the XoloQ1000 has a 1.2Ghz Quard core mediatech processor.Also the Xolo Play has an nvidia tegra 3 processor. I am also looking for xperia l or xperia c. Some people say 1.0Ghz Quallcom processor would be faster than the 1.2Ghz quard core processor.Please suggest the best one amongst the above.Also you can suggest your own best phone within this range
PS A decent GPU would also be necessary
Please quote my lines so that I would be informed as soon as you reply

I just bought a HTC One and I love it. Quad core processor with a great GPU. Very easy to root so this gives u more options.

[Q] Xperia M4 Aqua or... (Please read details)

Hey, so i've been wanting to buy the Xperia M4 Aqua, so just a few weeks ago i stared to save money. I was watching some reviews and many people say that the M4 has an overheating issue. That it heats up to much with just browsing on the web, so lets not talk about gaming. So i was kinda dissapointed with that phone, so i thought on getting the Xperia C4 instead. I know that the C4 is octa core clocked at 1.7, and the M4 is 4 x 1.5GHz + 4 x 1GHz (still octa but not all cores at same). One thing i do know is that the C4 is powered by Mediatek with a Mali gpu, i don't really know much about Mediatek nor Mali gpus. So what phone will have a better performance? I just don't know how to campare Mediatek with a Snapdragon, so over all, should i just get the M4 Aqua and deal with overheating issues, or better wait 2 more weeks for the C4?
Thanks everyone in advance. :good:
