Xperia z1 and note 3 are both officially debut. With the spec confirmed, which you guys will go for it? Or definitely get both??
20mp camera n flash on xperia z1 is awesome.
3gb ram and leathered back on note 3 is awesome too.

I'm waiting on the reviews before jumping on either.
While the Z1 is great I can't help but feel a little disappointed. No OIS, no Xenon, huge bezels. And if the video play back is really a mere 6.6 hours as Sony themselves are claiming, one then has to ask how long will you be able to browse for? Cause that's pretty weak.
Still, I'm gonna wait until I see some objective reviews before deciding on either. And there's always the One Max right around the corner too.
Xperia z1 is really nice im looking more into that phone over the note 3. Note 3 specs sounds good im just dissapointed by the hardware they couldve really been innovative. I like the xpreria hardware ..note 3 specs are great but who really needs 3gb of ram i had the note 2 and it was fine with 2g of ram and the 1.5 processor

i vote for z1, is more smart, screen seems best, and build quality is best too. galaxy have s-pen and 3gb of ram.
Definitely the Note 3! The best is getting even better!

The same thing was said about the 2gb of ram, and also when 1gb devices came out etc...
Plus the ram on the note 3 is fully used as shown in some hands on , leaving just 200mb of free space when multiwindow and pop up apps were used.

Hi
I am planning to to little upgrade the phone. (Sadly Google Nexus 4 is not avalable on the playstore and being sold on ebay at high price. )
I have shorlisted other phones as under:
Galaxy Nexus I9250
Sony Xperia S
LG Optimus L9
Galaxy S2 Skyrocket i727
My requirements will be Good visual quality screen & multimedia performance (im not hardcore gamer) Dual core processor, 1 GB RAM and Andriod 4 OS.
A comparasion chart has also been prepared for help.
please give valuable feedback for the purchase
Hi Aeonit,
I would put them in this order based on what you are wanting... just me
Nexus
Optimus
Skyrocket
Xperia
If you sometimes like to use a darker theme it will save battery on the first three but not on the xperia (LED). Think all your choices are good !
Xperia s has best specs.

There is a TON of development on this phone already and LTE support is just starting to be added (yes... LTE can be enabled) we even have Franco actively developing as well as Paranoid Android creator.

The first two have no extra external memory card capability?
I would avoid that. The 16GB or 32GB built in might seem like plenty now, but in a year or two...
I'm not sure... I don't store music on my phone, nor videos. I stream it all. All personal preference I guess

Presently i am using nokia 3120 classic.I want to buy a android phone with good camera quality and should run all hd games smoothly,good screen size and battery life .My budget is around 200$ and can extend up to 250$(if required).
I was thinking of getting a micromax superfone canvas 2(a110).Will it be a wise decision or should I choose any other phone.
I want to know the drawbacks in mmx canvas 2 and how is the camera quality is it worth 8 mp?
I bought sony xperia tipo a month back which is in your price range.
and i am pretty impressed by its performance(though the camera quality sucks).
I think you should have a look at it!

otherwise the new htc one x+ looks very useful and i´m thinking about to buy it :good:

I am using Karbonn A9+ (Indian version of Cherry Flare), the fone has good specifications and Karbonn is also coming up with S1 Titanium with Quad-Core Processor, looking into it might be worth.

The Nexus 4 8gb is the best value for money. You'll recieve all the updates quick and first compare to the Galaxy s3 and Motorola's :good:
In your budget Micromax Canvas 2 is a superb mobile phone. You can run hd games easily and camera is also nice.

Do not buy nexus 4 u will get better in this price
First of all nexus devices are hard to customize
Second nexus 4 has touch problem u can check its youtube review from pocketnow to find it ex if u use pinch to zoom then it responds Less to it..
Third nexus 4 had throttle problem see youtube I.e when it reaches 36` Celsius it starts to throttle
And ur CPU speed starts to become low
When it reach 40` (this temp is common for such powerful device)Celsius u will see lag in games as CPU speed reaches
CPU freq reaches 1.2 GHz(not too bad from1.5ghz) and gpu freq reaches 200mhz (very bad from 400mhz)
So better don't go for it
it gets update fast but other mobiles also get them in time...
nexus4 is better

thanks guys, the same day I posted my doubts I had already bought the nexus 4!
really is a good phone, I can say that the nexus 5 not wait worthwhile, because with 2GB memory the nexus 4 will last a long time.
i believe it nexus 5, only have snapgron 800 and a camera maybe better. screen size to me does not make much difference.
thanks again guys !!!

not joking, huge improvement from Galaxy Note 1 / Galaxy S2
CAT-4 LTE, the removable battery and expandable storage (though the battery life on this thing is so much better than my GNexus that I doubt I'll ever need a second battery) all played a big part.
However if I'm honest, I'd figured I was getting a phablet way back in may but I was torn between the Note 3 or the One Max - I loved the design of the One and yes, the non-removable battery and non-expandable storage were sucky but I figured if they released a bigger version of it, I'd be sold.
Then IFA came and went and HTC announced nothing. Then rumours circulated that it would have a downgraded processor and after seeing the Note 3, I decided I'd waited long enough.
I'm pretty sure the exact moment I made my mind up (And this will sound stupid) was when I seen that it had a USB3 port instead.
I'd planned not to get it but it's just so damn gorgeous looking I couldn't resist. Display, s-pen and battery life are all an improvement over the Note 2 and I have 32gb internal storage now so all good.

Looks like you used to have an iphone
my opinion
Samsung galaxy note 3 is an all rounder device..has almost everything..
sony z1 and lg 2 are also very good but lacks some important features..like lg g2 doesn't have external sd and sony z1 display is not as good as Samsung(personal opinion so pls don't start an argument)..and i watched many reviews where they claimed the sony z1 camera is not as good as what sony is claiming..
on the other hand, Samsung has s-pen and unique multitasking features..
in my country lg g2 and sony z1 both are cheaper than gn3..but i still bought gn3 as it has everything i want..and lacks nothing (although ois in camera wud have been a nice addition)
Which do you think is the better tablet? The Samsung or Sony?
Well, the devices are very similar on hardware, but I would choose the Note tablet. I just love Samsung devices.
