It's been two years since i first had my hands on this 'affordable nexus' and everyday i've enjoyed using it. I've been using devices with stock like android since a long time. So, I'd like some suggestions based on these things:
1. Stock android/iOS
2. Not a huge phone, small one would be good (iPhone SE maybe?)
Please, your suggestions are valuable.

In a world where smartphones are getting bigger and bigger every year, small phones (which are good) are really hard to find. You can look into the Sony Xperia compact line-up or else an iPhone.

yes i have pretty much narrowed it down to xperia compact phones and iphone se. But xperia compacts in India are hard to get isn't it?

Oh yeah. I tried to get a z3 compact before but ended up buying the Moto G3. I don't really like iPhones but there's no denying that it's a solid phone. So iPhone SE should be good. That's all the suggestions I can offer for now. Good luck:fingers-crossed:

Guys I need some advice, I now have an old Omnia HD that I should change the battery and also because I'm tired of Symbian switch to Android.
I am interested in a phone that can last as my dear Omnia HD, and Xperia have wavered between S and some quadcore as HTC or the next S3?
I remember that multimedia is important for me as well as the stability of the system. What do you advise me?
Thanks
TD
Just bough yourself a note
You won't need quad cores for at least a year, I think. Not all apps are optimized to dual core, they won't be for quad core.
As a Sony (Ericsson) fan, I would buy Xperia S (I actually will buy it in April, if everything goes right). Nice design, beautiful screen, ICS coming soon, unlockable bootloader (yeah, there is already a pre rooted .ftf for it, in 1 week, at max).
I don't like Sammy neither HTC because of their designs, prices, sizes and disponibility (I never saw a HTC Android phone on Brazil).
and the battery could be a problem? it has to charge faster, but less harsh?
?

Ignore them.
Anyway, I know Xperia S charge really fast, from many reviews I read. And, toghether with a special charger (not released yet) in 10 minutes, you would have battery for 1 hour.
What Sony is doing wrong is their "almost old hardware" (Snapdragon S3, as S4 is coming out soon (I really don't know exactly what is better between those two, but expert users says there is some improvement.))
Anyway, Xperia S is an amazing phone. Just go to phonearena or GSMarena and check out ther reviews.
Thanks for the availability
so you advise me to buy this Sony and not wait?
thanks again
row now
i think its S

Good shopping, see you in some months in Xperia S forums.
Xperia X10 Mini Pro with CM9 by paul-xxx
Have you seen the review of TheVerge?
I think it's anti-sony.
another thing that stops me from the purchase is that everyone complains about the lack of reactivity of soft touch buttons. So there are problems with the three keys!
What do you think?
Hey guys, how u doin?
Last week and half, I think about buying some xperia phone... I just fell in love with them so its almost uncompatible to find or choose any phone among other brands. But good camera is very important for me.. Not good, but the best x) Was thinking about Xperia U or J maybe P which is more expensive but not as much as I would tolerate..
Whats your experiences with some Xperias and their cameras? Which would be the best choice for my hands to fit 130€ price (from second hand) ?
Thanks for any advice or feedback and have a great day as I did
Cheers from Slovakia, Ewors.

dude,
seems nobody is interested in answering these type Queries.. :silly:
Anyway, i have an Acro S, and i can tell you its the best camera phone i have had..(except the old Sony Ericsson K series and new 2013 series) :good:
Thanks for your reply . I decided to buy xperia S cus I find him very reasonable priced (for about 100€) and I have to say, that I´ve never seen camera like that Its comparable with my HTC desire x) I hopefully think that this phone will surprise me with all his functions at all
i think P
a friend of mine "s" and I have the "p" ..
We compared and it would seem that P makes the picture better.
Maybe because with "WhiteMagic" everything is better
Hey everyone!
I am looking to buy the Xperia L, but will it be a good idea to go for it as it seems the phone is plagued by multi touch issues. What's the point in buying a brand new phone with problems. So please tell me if all the Xperia L phones are suffering from this issue or only a minor chunk are facing the problem. And will it be a good buy for gaming and multi tasking?
Thanks in advance, waiting for reply!!

Don't buy this phone if you're willing to spend that much money.
There are certain other options that you can go for. Xperia L is buggy and it doesn't get official updates. Looks like Sony has abandoned this phone. The camera is terrible. Not to forget the multi touch issues.
If you're from India then you certainly have some really good options.
Hit thanks if it helped

Yeah, multitouch is hardware problem, nothing that you can fix yourself.(but of course you can change touch screen)
Sony abandomed Mid-range phones, maybe because JB is best stable build for now.? I don't know. But I have learned my lesson.
Do not buy any Sony phones for now on. Why? For e.g. look how much changes in Xperia Z2-Z3... It's pathetic.
Don't even try to buy this! There are much better phones for the same price, e.g. Moto G. Like @abhi007.john said, XL is a very buggy device.
Buy a Moto G2
Sorry guys for this extremely late reply!!
Forgot to tell I bought the Xperia SP on 9/9 only to hear the dreaded news about eol the next morning -_-.
Anyway thanks everyone.
i am confused, i am android user, recently used S5 and sold because of lagging,
which other phone i should buy?
iphone 5s or which smartphone is high end in this budget, and have better market value?
please Share your Opinion,
thanks in advance.
Edit. I dont want to buy LG G3 because the 2k display on LCD(IPS) not mature,results Stuck pixel issue, and sony is not my favourite, they make 2 flagship phone in 1 year lol..

Its diffrent for all people are you more of themer guy? Get a nexus 5 as the most roms , xposed works with it.
If you just look for a good quality go for HTC One M8
If you love taking pictures go with the Note 4.
etc.....
Yes, really strange to hear the s5 was lagging for you enough to get rid of it. As for the iphone 5s, what price are you referring to? The 6's are coming out in two days so the price is very fluid right now. Are we talking $200, $400? Since Samsung and LG are out for you, how do you feel about Google, HTC?
Always attempt to avoid Apple, their products are expensive and overrated for their performance and their iOS system is so extremely closed-source that you can't really do much effective tweaking at all.
Just my 2¢.

the s5 you speaking, is snapdragon version, and its even available in india, snapdragon s5 doesnt lag, i used it.. actually exynos version is fully crap, 90% apps are not optimized for crap exynos, those are using exynos(if they are not able to upgrade smartphone)then probably they will always say exynos better, but i bet you, if marquies brownlee do review on s5 exynos variant, he will say 1 good point and 90% bad points...
+ still not 4.4 and no performance improvment update,
i am not saying samsung is crap, but tradition to india is so bad,
who cars about exynos, today world of snapdragon.. even developers phone are snapdragon may be nexus 5..
samsung need to change..

That's somewhat true, but not entirely. The worst thing about Apple devices for me is that they don't have problems too often, but when they do, they have no recovery mode or anything to fix the problem yourself. You absolutely always have to go to an Apple store to get a so-called "tech wizard" to help you out or to give you a new device.
Not so good.

Honestly Good phone but bad service,
I mean suppose today I buy z3 after 4 months they make new smart phone, they forget previous smartphone like they never made, just look at their Advt and social media, when they launch new then forget previous model like that is manufactured by other company,
And if we buy z3 their price in our country fall quickly and resale value is like no value.. It's good phone but there are many things company needs to do than manufacturing

Yea it's really really good phone I used ever for 2 months(with stuck pixel).
I got cheque refund 2 times still stuck pixel, but I didn't wasted my time, I used this amazing phone for 2 months, was smoother and quick responsive like iPhone.

i'm and Xperia Z owner i have had it since 2,5 years and one month ago i lost it due to water damage "somehow"
i sent it to the service center and they told me after 3 weeks of checking that the water got inside the phone and damaged the motherboard of it and it will take almost the same price as a new phone to fix it .
so now i have to buy a new phone unfortunately...
the Xperia Z was such a great phone for me all was great (except the low voice ) and now i'm in dilemma shall i go for Sony again or shall i change ? i'm disappointed of the new versions of sony Z3 Z3+ they have no such differences of the Z2 however the Z3+ has less flaps so more comfortable to use and less damageable i hate Samsung tho they have a great S6 edge but hell no for the touchwiz maybe Htc m9 ?
what do you think guys any experiences you want to share with me ?
Wait for the z5 if possible
OnePlus Two ?
I've owned moto, HTC, Samsung, nexus and now Sony and I have to say that I'm most impressed by my z3. for my next phone it would be Sony, nexus or moto - I would pick based on my key features from these three.

If you can get good deal go for it, but 2 year warranty is more then welcome since HW faults are not strange for Z3...
