Suggest Me a Smart Phone

Hai guys Im new here So,m forgive me if i go wrong somewhere.
As the topic suggests, i want an android device. Keep in mind that this will be my first android device.
After a lots of reading, i choose Xperia Mini Pro. even though it was a old series, i like the physical keyboard(I need it hardly).
Any other suggestions from the experts or drawbacks of Xperia Mini Pro from the users will help me lot.
Thanks
Note : I can afford upto 14000INR only

It costs 35000INR. Well it dosent fits even in my two month salary:laugh:

Galaxy s2 maybe?
i dont really know the exchange rate but the price of s2 is allways half from HTC one x

My friend had mini pro it has poor backup. 3 to 5 hours a day for normal use like texting and call. and very small screen 3"
I suggest u xperia U
It available around 15K in some sites. Best in Hardware. But lacks qwerty.

There is HTC Desire S
or the galaxy s1 too
there is not alot of difference but i prefer the s2

My friend just had the new Galaxy 3. Amazing device.

That's such an old phone, 528 mhz processor and 256mb RAM. It doesn't even have multitouch.

Xperia J Review & Discussion

Hello,
I know that in many thread sections, users have a review thread. I have not seen one for the Xperia J yet. Are there any Xperia J users that would like to mention what they like and dislike about their phone?
I notice the battery is huge, I wonder do users get a couple of days use before having to charge again? I've heard about a lag on the phone, do people find this? Also, I read that the audio is not brilliant, any ivews? :fingers-crossed:

Ok...
Battery 2-3 days
Audio speaker it's powerfull, with good bass
Keyboard very laggy, exchanged with SwiftKey
Even dialing a number I've counted some lags, exchanged with Dialer
Camera it's poor in low light conditions, very good outside in sunny landscapes
Evidently nice design
And a final aspect, at this price range its a bargain.
If you want a clean and sharp screen, hd, no lags, a perfect camera, go for a flagship xperia.
Sorry for my English.. I'm from Romania

Thanks friend, that's good to know. :good: And you're English is very good!

as for me, my xperia J's battery last 3 1/2 (just doing some texting/calling and very minimal internet)..so far I haven't experienced prob with my stock keyboard, got some few lags when I'm using the cosmic flow live wallpaper, and also got some prob with that timescape widget, it doesn't update even tho I've already set it up to be on automatic...so far I'm happy with my xperia J but when the xperia Z comes out next year I'll probably by that one instead of the V

Thanks for the input!
I notice that there are some more expensive Xperia phones with higher screen resolutions - but the batteries of those phones die very quickly, even if the capacity is more e.g. 1900mha etc. It's a good thing that this (very good) resolution was used in the phone, I think.

Can someone please suggest me, should i buy this phone or Samsung Ace Plus coz the price and spec not so much different.. Thanks

Yeah i know so many people said this XJ was a Laggy Phone, but so far i'm excited with this XJ. Good in design and it was built in Corning Gorilla Glass !! I use this phone for daily activity and office so i'm good so far until the JB is relase. I love my XJ with all weakness. Even when they are leaving you one day later

iI got my xj a week ago but had to send it off to sony because of sd reader problem. but the 3 days i had it i was impressed with it evan though its a single core its a good one better than my ray gta3 game was realy laggy on my ray but on my xj its really smooth. had a few lags but v6 supper charger & kak Script soon sorted that out if people are having lag problems i sugest they try these scripts plus it gives 3g tweaks wich is an added bonus. so over all im pleased with it just cant wait for more roms and mods to be released

J is really beautiful phone.
In fact most beautiful phone in the world....

XJ an awesome phone with superb media capabilities..the device does lag pretty often but its ok for the price u pay n what u get for it..the screen is great and the audio impeccable..id advise using ur own earphones tho..sounds lovely with ma skullcandies n sennheisers..video playback is great but id recommend a 3rd party player like moboplayer..gives u more codec support..not really the phone for heavy gamers.of late even temple run has started to lag..gonna root this device n toss in a custom rom soon..as soon as I get my hands on older firmware..new firmware cant be rooted I hear

one of the members here already released a root for our phone guys, thought you might check it out

Bought the j for my wife , long Battery was the biggest requirement and yes it certainly meets this requirement she gets 3 days out of it
It is a little laggy to me but I've got a note 2 is like comparing a porsche with a ford fiesta
My wife is very happy with it and I only pay £13 pm on 3 and get loads of allowance so I'm happy and so is my wife
If your after a b9g standard android phone with no bells and whistles this phone is for you

wanna buy this phone, but these issues confuse me

i wanna buy this phone, but after reading many comments and opinions, am a little confused due to these issues :
1-touch screen sensitivity and multitouch performance
2-call quality; unnatural voices on both ends and average volume in earpiece
3-camera performance in general and especially video recording; low quality and distorted sound(i have seen samples)
4-many firmware bugs like screen tearing, flickering, youtube pixelation and audio coming out of earpiece instead of rear speaker and many other(i know there is an update coming but dunno if it will fix all bugs)
so what do u think guys? what is the truth about those issues and should i buy this phone or not? and could u plz suggest the best alternative in this price range ?
thanksssss

Same. I really REALLY want to buy this since it has great specs for a midrange/low phone. But I heard very mixed reviews on it.

1. I've been on 4.1, 4.2 & 4.4 and I don't have problems with this.
2. I don't call that much but I have also no problems with this.
3. The stock camera app on 4.2 is sh*t, I'm using Camera ZOOM FX and it works perfect.
4. Yeah there are a few bugs on 4.2, removing the pre installed bloatware helps.
Most of these problems are firmware related. Sony has released AOSP binaries last week and we already have AOSP, OMNI, AOSPA and soon CM. So most of the firmware problems will be patched in these third-party roms.

Did you post something similar on the Sony Mobile forums, if so I guess this is your post.
Just refer to my answer, I am an everyday user running the stock firmware, no custom mods or anything, so you won't get a more honest opinion than this.
Good/better alternative? Forget the Galaxy Ace's I said, go for the Moto G, you will not get a better phone at this price bracket + it runs AOSP android so little/no bugs.

its a gud phone for everyday use and i don't have much problems with this phone it got a gud camera and lagless ui
best for gaming....

The moto g seems like a good phone but no microsd card slot.... that's what ruins it for me. I prefer to have that. Not including is a big turn off for me. I plan on buying this phone through amazon for 219 dollars. I don't plan on rooting this phone if I buy it.

L is not worth it, I hope I'm in time to save you from buying iy
L's display sucks, colors look bleak and greys look washed out
The processor is not great but it's mid-range
Go for the Xperia SL, or the higher "nxt" series
Gaming is mediocre not that good since the display sucks too

How is multitouch on Xperia L a hardware issue?

Please Explain How is multitouch on Xperia L a hardware issue? Can't play football games because of multitouch on dual joystick!

I don't even know if it was a hardware issue. I can't fix it with anything I've tried though
Sent from my D6653 using XDA Free mobile app

Because the sony xperia l is a low to midrange device, sony probably used some cheap digitizer for our phone that is causing these problems.

I have found out that many Sony Smartphones have problem with touchscreen(even high like xperia z1). Ex. Xperia Play,Xperia GO,SOLA,Tipo,SP,etc. Some phones got their problems fixed after a firmware update!

Indeed. A friend of mine bought a sony xperia E1 and has the same exact issue.

I'm about to buy an xperia L. Do you guys recomend it? I heard about the touchscreen issue and was disappointed. Can the touchscreen issue be fixed? Does it have the same issue with cm11?

This is a real pitty 'cause i can get this phone from amazon at a low price. I wanted it mostly because it seems to have great custom ROMs support.
Another question is: does the touch issue affect all xperia L phones? Or it's a matter of luck?
