Please Help Me!! Should I Wait For Galaxy W Or Buy Neo V?

Please Comment.....Any Help Would Be Appreciated!!!

I think you should get the Neo V as it will definitely be getting ICS, and maybe even another update after that as Sony have been improving. The Galaxy Wonder probably will get ICS but Samsung take forever with their updates.

go for neo V sony confirmed that it will be getting ANDROID 4.0...

based on your (wish) list, neo v won imo.

PIck neo v, its cooler. there are also great support for that device here in xda. very customizable. camera is good with 5mp. Sony keeps their OS updated.

Remove Thread Mod. Pointless.
You can just google the next lineup of Sony Ericsson Devices.

Agree with above, except for two points:
First, there isn't Sony Ericsson anymore. Second, he probably wouldn't find anything. This kind of info only stays at some "darker" forums.
But here is what is known for now:
C660X Yuga - 2GB RAM, APQ8064, 5 inch 1080p, 2800mAh battery, water/dust resistant.32GB ROM
C650X Odin - Same as Yuga but no water resistance, smaller battery
C550X Dogo- APQ8064, water/dust resistant,720p display
C360X - MSM8960/8260A S4 krait, 1 GB RAM, 720p Display
C210X - S4 Krait Dual MSM8227/8627, 1GB RAM, 720p Display
C160X - Xperia E Dual - MSM7227A 1 ghz, 480x320 res, 512MB RAM, Dual Sim
C150X - Xperia E - Same as E Dual, single sim variant
Xperia E/E Dual will ship with ICS 4.0.4, all others will ship with Android 4.1/4.2

I know. I just pasted everything As screen size for majority, not known. Only know the flagship (Yuga and Odin) which is 5 inches and a Phablet not mentioned with 6 inches.
"What really matters in this world, anyway?"

Is there any true android alternative to iphone 5s?

Is there an android phone with spec similar to iphone 5S?
- 4" screen (or max 4.3")
- lightweight: 130grams or less
- Slim 8.5mm or less, not too big
- FAST user interface. Fast photos. Fast opening apps.
Thanks

The closest thing to that is moto g. And it costs only 1/3 of an iPhone.

the closest that you will get is the Motorola Moto G, which is considered a low-end device in contrast to the iPhone. So the price for the Moto G is much lower, but I assume you won't get the same great performance as on iOS.
There's also the HTC One Mini or the Galaxy S4 mini. Both feature a mid-range processor and over 1GB RAM. Because Samsung and HTC use their own customizations and User Interfaces I'd recommend using a custom ROM, like cyanogenmod. There is currently no official CM support for either devices, but I'm sure there are many ports available. These would offer a smoother user experience compared to the stock ROMs.
The best choice is to wait for the devices releasing early 2014. The Sony Xperia Z1S is said to arrive 2014 and this one beats all the "Mini"-Versions of other manufacturers, at least spec wise. It is said to offer a Snapdragon 800, 2GB RAM and an outstanding 20.7 megapixel camera. If price doesn't matter, what I assume when you're searching an iPhone-alternative, I'd wait for that one. I will probably consider it myself.

thanks error,
kind of disturbing how superior the iphone 5s is to the S4 mini...

How can there not be a superior android phone with the same compact form factor???
edit: the huawei ascend p6 is slimmer, but taller. higher resolution i think.

The mini versions have always been inferior to their flagship counterparts. Sony will release the Xperia Z1 mini next year though, same procesor and camera as its big brother but with a 4.3" screen.

Z1 mini has good specs,
But is bigger and bulkier
Not really a true competitor

Sony xperia z3 compact tablet or Galaxy tab s 8.4?

I'm looking to buy a new tablet and I'm deciding between these two. My first thought was the tab s for the display but the old hardware is kind of a turn off. I'm not saying it's low end, it isn't, but the snapdragon from the z3 compact is way better and more future proof. I'll mostly use the tablet for gaming and movies.
I'm also planning to root it and probably load cyanogemod.
If there are any other alternatives you're thinking of please post here.

Z3

The Snapdragon 801 is the 800. Both use the Krait 400... It's called the 801 because they made it run at 2.5ghz instead of 2.3. Nothing more, nothing less.
Both also use an Adreno 330 and 3GB RAM.
Funny how the Tab S has "outdated hardware" , yet the Z3 only has a 1080 resolution, against the 2K on the Tab S.
I should think 1920x1080 ~283 ppi is significantly more outdated than 2560x1600 ~359 ppi.
In terms of hardware the two are identical. The only difference is that the Tab S' screen is 2 years ahead of that of the Z3.
And the battery on the Z3 is 4500mah, against 4900mah on the Tab S.
Ironically the 8.4 "Tab s is actually smaller than the 8" Z3. That thing has a massive bezel o0
Go for the Tab S 8.4. It's a brilliant device.

I'm running a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and i can't even think about outdated hardware on my Tab Pro 8.4, so the Tab S won't disappoint you mate.
2K is saying enough for samsung, my Tab Pro is super fast and i can't really compare much with my Note 4 so the Tab S won't be disappointing.

Choose the xperia z3 tablet !

Real flagship compact phones for 2015?

Excited about the Z4 Compact, assuming it comes to market. But will there be any other such compact devices on the market with top-end specs?
Talking... fully-clocked CPU, 3GB RAM, 1080p, 3000 mAh battery, top camera with OIS, SD card
I wish OnePlus would make a compact version, but apparently the OnePlus Two will have a 5.5" screen.
The ~4.7" size seems like an abandoned market for Android if one seeks true flagship specs.

out of curiosity, what is a fully clocked CPU ??
Now for answering, well it depends, samsung may do another alpha(there are some that are high ends),and you can maybe call the one m9 a compact since its a 5'' screen (2015 seems 5.2'' + standard)

As in a CPU that is not underclocked, like most "compact" devices' (~4.7" screen size) CPU's normally are. For an example, compare the specs of the Z3 vs. the Z3 Compact - they're identical outside of the smaller screen size and more compact design of the Z3 C.
Samsung's Alpha had a totally different CPU, chipset, GPU, lower screen resolution, lower end camera, and smaller battery than the S5. So it didn't have flagship specs. This stripped-down device is similar to what most other OEMs have been doing recently when they release "mini" versions of their flagships. Problem is, these "mini" versions come with mini specs throughout.
M9 is not compact. True, its 5" screen isn't considered huge these days, but its design is still quite large. (5.7" tall vs. Z3 Compact 5.0" tall, big difference)
Right now, it looks like Sony is the only OEM who puts real flagship specs in a true compact device. I'd have no problem buying the Z4 Compact, but am just wondering whether it'll have any real competition this year.
