Hey all,
I'm looking for a smartphone for my dad. It will be his first smartphone so it doesn't have to be a new flashy top model.
I was thinking about a SE Xperia Ray or an HTC Sensation.
The sensation looks promising to me, but it's almost 200 euro's more expensive... The question is: is it worth it?
Maybe I haven't searched enough and you know a better phone for him?
We are looking for something with these specs:
- At least 5 MP camera
- GPS
- 1 ghz cpu (at least)
- 768 MB RAM
- 8 GB storage
It would be nice if we can keep the costs around €25,- per month.
If you have any ideas, please let me know
Greetings,
Marcoevich

I am xperia ray user. keep in mind that xperia ray has a small and narrower display (3.3 inch, 53mm width)
people with big fingers may have a bit difficulty to type in the portrait mode.
htc sensation has a dual core processor compare to single core of xperia ray. that's why the price differs so much.
you can consider other options:
- xperia sola (dual core, 3.7 inch display, 8GB storage, 512MB RAM, 5MP camera, but no front camera)
- samsung galaxy ace 2 (dual core, 3.8 inch display, 4GB storage, 768MB RAM, with front camera)
- nexus s
- galaxy nexus
you can compare the full specs at gsmarena.com
Thx for your explanation man!
We really like the xperia sola. Except for the battery... It's a shame imo that sone put such a bad battery in a such a great phone...
Do you know perhaps, a smartphone with the same specifications as the xperia sola, but with a better bettery?
Thank you very much

I am the owner of a Xperia ray. HDMI isn't present...
Did I ask if HDMI was present? I only want a phone with the same specs but a better battery as the ray or the sola

I would recommend something along the lines of a Desire Z or iPhone 4

for me,I'm going with ray :laugh:
Most Android phones don‘t have cutting edge battery life. They vary mostly with usage.
Most phones easily run out of juice by the end of a work day.
Seeing the budget issue(200 euros is something which I recommend rather saving) get the Xperia.
You should try out the phones at a local shop though before buying.

Sony has some very cool low and mid-range phones too.
Quality and specs come to a price.
The Z is the flagship, not that expensive when compared to other flagship phones (Galaxy S III, iPhone, HTC One, etc)

yes sony does make some expensive products but they are world class and some of the best featured. Upto 11 Hours of Talk Time 13 Megapixel camera, Android 4.1 and 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Quad Core what else can you ask for.
needs parts for Nvidia Shield Tablet Lte speaker top and cable to touch.
Unless someone has locked or broken the whole tablet.

Seems it is quite well built. Lots of speculation about front glass etc laid to rest hopefully.

Well this phone survived car crash so it's durable for sure...

Hi,
I recently noticed that the P30 has a normal ear-speaker system contrary to the P30 pro. I was wondering why there is no Dual Speaker MOD yet. I am about to buy the phone but its loudspeaker is so-so. Having such a mod would be great! Did I miss something?

On closed bootloader phone like P30, it is almost impossible to prepare I think [emoji853]
