would u guys prefer buyin xperia x10 or galaxy s.............?
i mean bth r equally awe$$ome fones......but
GS has only 5 mp cam wid no flash............
while X10 has 8.1 wid flash but has some probs.............
No Questiion, Galaxy S. Better Hardware, better Software. If you want a Cam, buy a dedicated one.
oh evn i'm wid GS...........but speria has 8.1 mp...........only diff tht stps me.........
hey does either 1 of 'em hav free navigation?
I have experience with both and hands down the Galaxy S is just much more comfortable to me. It's camera is still good enough for taking some quick snaps, which is only what I'd use a phone for. It's always held up to running games, apps etc. smoothly. I have had issues with the usb though which are a little off putting.
X10 is still not a bad phone and I'd suggest seeing if you can try them both out in store before you buy either as a lot of it is down to user preference.
SGS
Galaxy S would be better if u want to have MIUI ROM official supported Greatest android mod IMHO)
so i think frm wht u guys say galaxy s is btter............kk
OF course the Galaxy S is better than the current crop of Xperias, due to the mass of better tech in the Galaxy S I would think
Sony Ericsson are probably the worse smartphones to date, they are cheap looking, badly built and break easy. X10 is no exception, while instead the SGS is still a pretty wicked phone, especially for gaming purposes, you'll still be able to enjoy tegra games for a fair bit of time. It's also a really cheap phone right now, a great bang for the buck, about 300€ and you'll have it, if you know where to buy over the internets ofc
Which Android Phone Is The Greatest in Performance and Everyday Usage ?
Both are great in their place if you just want to choose only one into them Sony is the best in performance and regular usage
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
sony vs samsung
Yeah.for everyday uses sony phones are best.
because
-launcher never lags
-launcher is very polished you dont have to download any other launcher
-sony phones has great camera
-they have worlds best music player WALKMAN
-user interface is smooth it never lags regardless of phone wether is high end or low end sony device
-sony phones look good in hand.they have one of the best build qualities like apple and htc
-sony phones has good amount of roms,it is rewarded as OEM OF THE YEAR by XDA.and sony is continuosly ahead to support developers
-bootloader on sony phones can be easily unlocked via sony's official site
advantage of samsung
-you should buy a samsung device only if you are going for s3 or s2.other phones are waste.
i only recommand to go for flagship samsung phones like s2 s3 note note2 because
-they have tremendous processors
-samsung is fast to provide updates for flagship phones (not for other phones,while sony updates the whole range like xperia 2011 or xperia 2012)
i think this is enough for you to decide which phones are better.
ps: hit thanks if anybody helps you.:angel:

First of all, you're comparing manufacturers, not individual device models, and because each manufacturer has a wide range of models, your question is impossible to answer. Furthermore, it is a subjective question and not one that anyone else can answer for you. To avoid the inevitable arguments, thread closed.
Searching for best audio quality android phone of all new phones that released lately cuz i am gonna sell my s2 and i dont care about price and please dont post that all phones are same all u need is eq an just good headphone. Yea i have good solo bose headphones but i am 100% sure quality of circuts and other chips jacks and speaker placement and quality affect sound alot too and by asking for sound quality i mean loud speakers of phone too. Also i need it to be one of new android phones in market with good specs, features n quality but mainly focus on sound (not just the bass boost but clarity n sharpness of all sound too). Please if u are not sure of the device u gona suggest better dont post cuz i need the best, really the best. also got 2 questions
1. Htc onex+ the beats is really just an eq adjustment software or they have any hardware that added related to beats or even speakers and chips and with audio engineering point of view cuz that what beats.com says
2. S3 with voodoo enhance loud speakers too or just headphones? does galaxy note 2 have wolfson or work with voodoo? If not what is note 2 chip brand tho and what i can use that can be as good as s3 with voodoo exactly and have same options of voodoo?
Thanks in advance,

OPPO Find 5?
How about the OPPO Find 5? It uses a Dirac HD sound processing chip, making Oppo the first mobile phone brand to do so. However I have no personal experience with it, but I just figured it fit your discription. I too am looking for a phone with good audio HARDWARE, and this is on the top of my list, especially due to their good reputation with A/V equipment in general! Just need to get my hands (and ears) on it first. Good luck!
Looks like its really good one for sound quality but it lack much of specifications compared to the new phones released lately like s3 and one x+. Also i would love to include that need company that can update android regularly i know there will be non so fast especially than nexus phones but i mean that company dont ignore old phones cuz samsung did that with s2 users and heard htc do same but if both do i need recommandation of best of them in that point.
but still periority goes to best sound quality hardware..
and please someone answer my previous 2 questions too
Thanks in advance

This might sound stupid but couldn't you just take your headphones and some music down to a store and simply try out each phone then just pick whichever one sounds the best to you...
Samsung Galaxy S3 is a superb audio quality android phone. It comes with latest features it has 4.8 inch Superb Super AMOLED display with saturated colors and high contrast with 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and HD video recording, 4.0 android operating system, Quad-core 1.4 GHz Processor and 2050 mAh battery capacity. You can read all details here:
themobileindian.com/handset-guide/details/Samsung-Galaxy-SIII
Thanks guys for trying to help but
1- no there is no store here let me try phones
2- i know s3 specifications and thats not my point. My point is need best android phone with best audio hardware and its audio was made with sound experts.
Anything as good as s3 or better in audio? What about note 2 audio?
Please answer my previous 2 questions in first post, guys

Check out HTC One S, it has Beats Audio integration and comes with 8MP camera and a very sleek body. This is one phone to look out for. Do check.
I guess one x plus is better but ppl say beats just an equalizer and not hardware is that true or not? << so important question (beats says on their website they
do add great quality hardware and placement them in right places for clarity and great sound as heard by artists in thier studio)
does beats audio on htc one x plus better than voodoo with s3 ??
Still waiting more suggestion of devices of best audio quality hardware
Please please please people reply my first 2 questions in my first post in this thread
Thanks alot,

The Galaxy S3 (i9300 and i9305, NOT the US models) has the Wolfson DAC that the original Galaxy S/Nexus S (remember the Voodoo audio mod?). Also applies to the Note 2. If you want to use this device as a secondary device, you can just get a Galaxy S or Nexus S, but as a daily phone if you need something powerful, get the S3.
As for the One X, the Tegra 3 was rated as having the worst and nosiest DAC. Beats Audio is a gimmick and is just a software audio equalizer preset.

Yes, but you need to be running Siyah kernel (which I'm assuming exists for the Note 2 since Play Store reviews for the app say people are using it): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gokhanmoral.stweaks.app&hl=en
The kernel includes the app when you flash it but in case it doesn't, link above.

Does stweaks give same sound quality and options like voodoo sound like for radio too?
Does voodoo work for note 2?
Which u prefer note 2 or s3 in terms of sound hardware and quality ( speakers and headphones) ?
Does stweak/voodoo work for speaker too or just headphone ?
Does stweaks/voodoo work with all apps?

STweaks applies audio tweaks system-wide, at the kernel level. I don't believe there's an official Voodoo mod for the S3 or Note 2 yet, however the mods in STweak use code from the official Voodoo mod (it's just as good). Both the Note 2 and S3 i9300/i9305 (again, not the US S3, BUT you can use any Note 2. It's part of the Exynos chipset) have the same chipset, but the Note 2 is a little faster and has 2GB of RAM. It's up to you really. I like the size of the S3 compared to the Note 2. But the Note 2 is slightly more powerful and has the S-Pen among other things.
Aah right ok. Ive just been researching a little. No actual voodoo sound for the note 2 just yet, and the neak kernel has options for sounds etc, and neak and siyah are both compatible with samsung based roms?
Im thinking of rooting and installing the android revolution hd rom, which has the option to install the perseus kernel, and im sure I read something an hour ago about something to do with voodoo sound and perseus?...so would there be a control app with that too?
I also hate to ask but not necessarily which is the best, do you know which has the most features etc
Ive had the note 2 3 weeks maybe and im a music nut. Still unrooted with the stock rom. Also had this noozoxiode app installed and its great and very impressive, just when I have the headphones in its too quiet, even with the volume on max.

Siyah kernel supports both Samsung and AOSP based ROMs in one (with tweaks and everything) and even supports dual-booting as long as one ROM is AOSP and one is Samsung-based. I recommend Omega ROM because it has a ton of features. It uses AROMA installer so you can choose what you want to include or not when flashing the ROM, and it has tons of mods (comes with an app that showcases a few of them). It's for the S3 i9300 and Note 2.
My personal experience, no android hardware is good for quality audio, used almost all trendy phones from HTC,moto,Samsung ,Sony. Well Sony had the best audio phones b4, but Sony seems to take no care for audio hardware( yes I mean hardware itself and not software /os ) now a days. I can strongly say it becoz I am a fan of Sony Ericsson phones ( those old cyber shots and walkmans) and besides the fact that 95 % of those phones were java phones, they really had a good cam, and good sound hardware. My personal interests were k800,w880,c905 and w995. If u can mod/patch and change drivers of those phones, I bet u will throw out ur iPods. Even now I have c905, with changed cam/display/ sound drivers and I barely use my hd2 for photos or songs. Go find one of them, then go to se-nse forum, be the guru to ur phone. 1Ce u behold a moded phone, u never get back to android for audio.Sony had phones with Smaster digital amp with about 2v o/p . It will bleed ur ears if u remove the sound restrictions Sony inserted in its drivers. And mods are intented to remove restrictions.
Nb. Lol android is not an os for entertainment unlike iOS, but it is more close to productivity. So expect less multimedia.and if u want an android multimedia device go for Sony's android walkman. But never ever buy Sony phones for this purpose.

Thanks for the tip, just been scrolling through the omega 9.1 thread... omg! And a kitchen app! So in a nutshell I fully charge, root with method 2 so I get cwm to flash the rom with, backup stuff and flash omega then wipe everything at the start of the aroma. Then download the kitchen app and install the perseus kernel so I get stweaks which is the closest thing to voodoo?

What I know so far, and ive only been looking into this stuff tonight. It seems stweaks is the option to go with as its the closest to the voodoo sound mod, and yes it sorts out both headphone and speaker etc. Also I think stweaks is kernel specific to perseus. So you would need to root and install a rom that supports the perseus kernel. Apparently the omega rom is one of the top Samsung based ones and you can flash the perseus kernel with the omega rom kitchen app from the play store. Search for omega files. This seems the best way to go at the minute.

I am not that good to be my phone guru plus i asked for best from nowadays new phones cuz i need phone that can suit my tasks as my previous ones could not java one and honestly i got ipod touch 4g and had iphone 3g and now got s2 which will sell but i really bored with ios and need to change ik s2 is android but i had it for like 4-5 monthes unlimke ios so i was searching best of android audio hardware although i agree that android not good with audio that much anymore and ios more better at that point as far as i know about iphones/ipod and s2 but still after best of them although i see at productivity iphone more better too atleast look at thier apps and play apps... I like android os flexibility and easy and much customizable than ios but not agreeing about productivity due to less app devs for play.
till now i guess a note 2 with stweaks is answer so far. Why not s3? Cuz personally i hate to carry phone with 50% of people around the world. I love to carry something not out there much and special with good features especially audio
Thanks in advance,

hi , i have finally saved enough money to buy unlocked either xperia z or galaxy s4 , i have researched on gsm arena, cnet etc websites and all of them say the galaxy s4 has some good hardware and features and xperia z has awesome design but less features , i currently want the phone with the most developer support for custom roms and stuff , the problem is the galaxy s4's variant with quadcore is available here , can any person who has used both phones recommend which one is better ? no fanboyism please thanks :highfive:
I would take xperia z
Reasons
Snapdragon based... So sources are available and thus developer friendly..
Awesome looks
Water proof so u don't have to worry abt rains or toilets or tubs
Regarding s4 octa core...
Poor developer support... No sources... And belive me 8cores dun work SIMULTANEOUSLY
regarding quad core variant... A bit similar to xperia z ... And again snapdragon so MAY get good support...
My pick xperia z ...
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/...galaxy-s4-vs-sony-xperia-z-comparison-review/ says the battery is same but users here claim s4 has more battery life ? , tbh it doesnt bother me much even if XZ has a bit less battery life i think i will go with the xperia z thanks for the quick reply anyway.
Xperia z ftw! Simply because Sony is way more supportive to developers than any other oem out there

I bought the Arc s as in my opinion its the most stylish phone and good specs for my needs.
I was going to upgrade to the Z but it does not have a removable battery.
What happens if it freezes
Sorry, but I closed this thread. There are 2 threads devoted to questions about devices, please feel free to repost your question in one of these two threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1620179 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1846277
Thanks!
P.S. I would watch the commercials and pick the device solely based on which device had the best looking spokes person.
