Why didn't sony release the successor of the xz Premium? A lot was said about the xz pro but wasn't released at the MWC. Does anyone know why that is the case?
Apparently, according to media reports the successor of the XZ Premium may show up at IFA in September and go on sale in October/November, same as the Z5 Premium did.
But, after seeing the XZ2, I hope Sony do not follow the same route in design, that device is ugly and the horrendous bulge on the back is stupid. I like the Omni-Balance design of the Z series and the original XZ series, if the successor to the XZ Premium looks like the XZ2, I will have to abandon Sony.
If that is the release date for the successor of the xz premium series i may aswell go with the pixel XL 2

Hey Sony just announced the XPERIA X10, is it going to be like the x1 manufactured by HTC? The phone looks just amazing.
Does seem awesome but it's by Sony not HTC
Rumor has it that it's coming to Tmobile USA...
The first Xperia models to receive the
upgrade will be Xperia arc S, Xperia neo
V and Xperia ray. For these first
models, the rollout will start mid-April
and continue over 4-6 weeks.*
Following on, Xperia arc, Xperia PLAY,
Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro,
Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony
Ericsson Live with Walkman will receive
their scoop starting from the end of
May/early June.*

No it doesn't.
If you were using HTC or Motorola , you would still be unlocking the bootloader.
If you're angry towards samsung for not releasing ICS for our fit, your anger is completely unjustified.
You can't buy a low end phone with crap specs and expect it to run hd games and get all the updates.

The first is money. It all boils down to the commercial business.

Exactly that's the answer
Which is overall better? What OS do they run on?
bump!
Actually I'd recommend the P over both that you mentioned. You'll get a larger screen than the U and newer UI features than the Arc S for around the same price.
Neither!
I've been an SE android user for a few years and repeatedly they lag behind their competitors it keeping you up to date, even more so now that they have unlocked their bootloaders so that the dev community can do their customer retention work for free.

Definitely Arc S, but comparing Arc S to Xperia P would me more fair and I actually think, that Xperia P is better than Arc S. But it doesnt have a separate forum on XDA....it is attached to Xperia S'forum.
According to my research the Galaxy S3 beat the iphone 5 as best phone of 2012. I have an EVO 3D on Sprint. My upgrade is due April 1st.
You guys really know your stuff and I am sure by April there will be something that beats out S3?
Could you guys point me in the right direction? I know that I don't want the DNA. No removeable battery. Not the best battery life, only 16gb?? No. Way.
Help me out here.
I don't know exactly when but there are rumors of the Samsung Galaxy S4

^+1 . S4 is dated around may. Or droid DNA is great .still there is time . Let's see if anything new comes in (nothing from Sammy anytime soon !) And also consider xperia Z .
PS - talking about phones which beats s3 , there are already plenty of em . Note 2 , optimus G , xperia Z , droid DNA .
life!
Xperia Z <3 or Nexus 4 but no sd card.

Xperia Z seems to have been extremely well received at CES in many ways it looks a better proposition than HTC DNA (it has mico-SD and also 13 mp camera. The design looks quite good as well. In my opinion before S4 comes out this will be the new king.
Thanks for the input guys. I'm sure we are all excited about upgrading come summer to something great. And that's the thing. We all want the next BEST because we will be locked in for another 2 years.
The names you guys mentioned that beat the S3 really don't count because these phones were released at later dates and the fact that they still are being compared to the king Of 2012 speaks volumes for samsung S series.
What I see when I read about xperia z, droid dna, note 2, and the like are newer phones and phablets that push the envelope, BUT have a drawback! The S3 not only pushed the envelope, but really does not have a drawback.. Its only drawback is that it's becoming outdated.
When I get my next phone I want it to be EVERYTHING the S3 was and MORE. great battery life, available on every carrier, fast updates to latest software, fewest bugs, 1080p screen with high ppi without the battery life being killed like the DNA's battery gets killed, plenty of space and upgradable to 64gb sd card, and the BEST camera 13mp or whatever with high quality lense!
That's just a few of the things the the S3 set the standard for. When I look at my friend's s3... I see a near perfect phone. Mine needs to be the same...
Are we in agreement?
My bets are the next Nexus device will be a Motorola being that it's now part of Google. I expect it to beat everything currently available. Sammy S4? I look forward to seeing what that's like.
If you view the Galaxy S3 as perfect, why not go for the Galaxy S4 because around that time it would surely be released or announced

Nokia maybe...
Galaxy S4 definitely is what I am anticipating
Sony xperia Z looks interesting..

The S4 is only due to be released in May, not sure when it will come to the US possibly June/July
The Sony Xperia Z or ZL is due out in March with the same if not better specs than the S4

No specs have been released on the S4 yet, so hold off there son. If and when they get released and the xperia z is better, thats what I'll be getting
Xperia will do well for the 1st quarter of this year, but I doubt it'll be able to cope with the GSIV and to the next HTC One flagship.

Based on what, buddy? Your magic crystal ball? The GSIV will obviously come out with the Exynos 5 Octa, A15 and A7 !
Look, like I said before. Whatever is the best available is what we will all get.
NOBODY looking to upgrade this summer needs to act like a fanboy of ANY company whether it be HTC, SAMSUNG, OR SONY.
Whatever is the best is what we will all end up with. The key is to have patience. The xperia z will most likely be available first.. The people stupid enough to buy it before officially knowing the specs anf benchmarks of the GS4 are the ones who will inevitably become fanboys if the xperia turns out to be subpar to the gs4.
Patience!

I own a sony ericsson arc s at the moment and am due an upgrade soon but cannot decide on what phone to get. I love my sony and i have used sony ericsson over the past 10 years (i think its time for a change). I found my arc easy to mod/upgrade even with a locked bootloader and would like my next phone to as easy. There are a few excellent phones out like the xperia z, htc one, samsung s3 and s4 and the nexus 4. Does anyone own any of these phones if so what are your opinions. Should i jump ship or stick with good old sony??? I have read reviews on many phones but need to get proper users thoughts.
Any thoughts, reviews, ideas are appreciated.
Cheers
Phil

All the mobiles you've mentioned are excellent phones which are easy to upgrade/mod.
They are in active development. But the new phones which are released (about to be released) are excellent in terms of all features and devs are working hard for custom firmwares and other deep options. So it depends on your personal choice. Anything you own depends on your own personal likeness.
