are you a w8 user ,,? what rom?
Kabayan san ka sa Guada?
X8 ofcourse...because it has a lot of development
x8 all the way since finding places like this saved me having to upgrade handset
both x8 and w8 are same i have both!!! x8 with cypress and w8 with synaptics!!! no difference except walkman branding on w8 body...
zoertab mrs
Both are the same except that the W8 has a Walkman twist added to it. I would pick the W8 if I were you simply because the X8 was released in June 2010 and the W8 in April 2011.
Buy the W8 because it has Walkman stickers on it ^^
W8 ofcoz!

W8 has a better speaker and headphones but it matters only if u are a music fan.... both have same config... go for the one who's bootloader can be unlocked
both same.i think different is just the music player
both same~but w8 sound better~^^
ok, lets get a hold of the specs etc,
I myself own an X8,
The xperia X8 was released on 2010 on June.
whilst the W8 was released on 2011 on April, so that means the W8 is a, could i say, a newer model of the X8.
the X8 and W8 both have TFT capacitive touchscreens. S w that is the same.
Both can also have upto 16gb on a SD card.
Both also have the same amount of RAM (unfortunately nothing is higher ther ) and they both have same internal storage.
When the X8 was released, it came with donut, but when W8 was released it came with eclair.
Thats nothing really important but I guess it should be noticeable that the X8 is older than the W8.
The W8's loudspeaker test got these specs: Voice 66dB / Noise 62dB / Ring 69dB
And the X8's loudspeaker test got this: Voice 66dB / Noise 66dB / Ring 69dB
There is only the noise that has a difference of 4, but its different i guess.
OK, so another test i did of the Audio quality.
Heres the X8's results: Noise -75.6dB / Crosstalk -70.7dB
Heres the W8's results: Noise -86.8dB / Crosstalk -84.1dB
As you can see there is a slight difference between them.
I'm not really making much sense (?), but what i'm trying to say is, comparing specs (mostly all the same) the tiny differences between them make W8 look more new (?), but in most people's opionion's they would say X8 is better. I agree, i think the X8 is better, but thats because there was more development for it. I have only just seen ROM's that say W8 people can use it too.
But, from what I know, the W8 would be for people who like their music more that anything else, and X8 would be for people who want more development for their phone's.......(?)
If i am making any sense to people, then, do you agree or disagree?
hope this helps,

instead wasting so much money i suggest you to buy xperia mini which has 1 ghz armv7 processor buy paying some more
hope this helps

W8 can run ALL of x8's roms without any problem... S x8 has no advantage... W8 comes with better earphones, 4gb bundled card and 2 back covers, thats the only difference...
e15i is the best
The best is...
I think the best is X8 because it have a development really good.
I have Xperia X8 with MiniCM9 (Android 4.0.4) and it runs very smoother.
When I buy this phone I was also turned to W8 but the problem was that many threads say "that is compatible with X8, X10, X10 mini, X10 mini pro, etc. Possible to work on W8".
So it means that W8 isn't tested for that stuff that you probably want in the future. Of course that most of them work for W8 but it is always a threat because no one tried on W8, always on other devices.

Any mid range phone that has multi touch a better processor and a biggerscreen? Any phone better than X8 and has a price between 300$ not more than that. Help guys need your opinion. Im planning on Galaxy Ace. Is a go or no go?
Hmm maybe you should look for reviews about your target phone to buy. I suggest you post this in xda general area for you to have a satisfying comments comes from the different phone user, coz most people here are all using x8 so we cannot compare.

wait for xperia minipro.1ghz cpu with multitouch
I'd not suggest Galaxy Ace if you have x8.
Because if you overclock and use custom rom on your x8,
the specification is almost the same.
We have multitouch modules,also you'll have real multitouch if you are the lucky one to have Cypress touchpad.
My friend is using Galaxy Ace,he benchmarked his phone,and it's about ~700 point.
Our custom rom can reach ~800-900.
So,I think you can wait for xperia minipro or buy a higher level phone.
Edit:Mid-range's phones are usually use Qualcomm's MSM7x27 series processer,so it's hard to find a mid-range phone with better processer.
if i were you i would increase the budget and get a nice htc, search through the threads and see which phone is getting the most attention from devs, at least then you will always have something new on your device.
My brother is gonna buy a Nexus S ^_^ I am f***** jealous.A month ago, it cost 800$ but now it costs 450$. If you have a higher budget,I think you should byu that sssssooooo good and nice smartphone

Hello all.
First - sorry if i post a dump post in a wrong place. I hope it's okay .
Second - i'm considering buying a new phone. New = another one, not brand new, but used (it's cheaper this way .
I have 2 candidates for now:
Sony Xperia J
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
How do you people think, which phone is a better choice in the means of performance, quality and future development on xda ?
I ask for opinions like advantages/drawbacks, not "i like samsung, so buy samsung".
In this price range there are also: Xperia Miro/Tipo, Xperia U, HTC Rhyme, Desire C.
So, how do you people think ?
Helo bro...first of all i would recommend u dat u dont go xperia j. The reason is dat the processor is 1ghz and runs wid the gpu of adreno 200 which our x8 runs on. Secondly the midranged smartphone dat i would recommend is xperia u..it runs on dual core 1 ghz processor the same u would find in xperia p...the ram is also friendly 512mb... Lastly i think it depends on ur taste per se...every ones view is different..
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for a quick reply! I didn't know that U has dual core processor - i thought it's worse, because it has 'only 1ghz' and some stuff worse comparing to xperia J.
I'm waiting for next recommendations, this was a nice one!
I recommend Xperia U too.
But with U you actually should know these facts:
1-low battery backup ,comes with 1350 mah battery which can't feed your large screen & thirsty dual core processor. (White magic LCD can save 70% energy some times but it's not enough)
2- 12 gb user available memory which can be extended by sdcard. (U can use USB flash disk but it hard to handle & drains more power)
If don't play with your phone it's a perfect phone, stylish(won some rewards for design of 2012 phones)
I don't recommend galaxy advanced cause it's outdated & no official ics rom(+looking like s##t)
Think about Xperia P too
compare others at gsmarena.com
Sent From My BEAST , I mean X8
Hmm, 12gb is almost too much space for me, so it's not a problem!
And if the battery will last for at least 20h of using (1 day) this will be enough for me too.
I don't watch movies on phone and ocassionaly listen to some music or play a game, but mostly i use it to browse the web etc.
I will take a look at Xperia P.
Thanks! More replays are still very welcome!
Dont go for samsung galaxy s plus . my father has one and feels very cheap in hand the materials are cheap plastic.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'm currently thinking about the Xperia P. I thought Xperia U has a micro-sd card slot but i was wrong - and 4gb of storage withoth the possibility to extend it is a bit too little...
Xperia P is a little to expensive, though. I'll try to find it as cheap as possible, maybe i'll make it
Thanks for comments and don't hasitate to post another ones
EDIT:
i've ordered Sony Xperia U today! I will have to deal with 4gb only, but i hope i won't suffer too much . thanks for all the suggestions. cheers !
This thread can be closed, thanks!

Sent from my Xperia Z2
lcd: X8's lcd is a little smaller (around 0.2 inches) but it has higher resolution and ppi so pictures are sharp and clear .... about lcd viewing angel just hold the devices and youll understand young is terrible at lcd tests( you can see pic clear only from the front),but x8 is absolutly brilliant at lcd quality. (& viewing angels )
Cpu : x8 comes with a 600mhz armv6vfp processor but young offers 200mhz more clock speed : 800 mhz ,both have the armv6 architecure and are dispointing for gaming and browsing , video playback
Gpu : x8 comes with Adreo 200 gpu but as i remember young doesnt have any graphic proccessing unit
Ram: x8 does have 180 mb of RAM but i think young has 280 mb , so its easier to run heavy games and apps on it (much depends to kernel and rom)
X8 : better lcd , gpu , non-stopable Developers!
Y : better cpu ,bigger lcd ,280 mb of ram
Overall : x8 would be a great phone if it had at least 260 mb of RAM but it doesnt so to be honest all the owners of these two should think about a new device and put these devices in the musium

Hi guys.. right now I am about to buy a new phone... SP comes into my consideration and i find it pretty cool and powerful.. Though.. yesterday I found out that there is also P6 in the offer... What would you recommend ? I am probably going for the SP, but P6 has got 4 cores. Does it make that much of a difference ?
Personally i dont know anything about P6. So my recommendation is SP. Go For SP.. But while purchasing pls check one main thing in SP. Touch problem while Charging. U cant use ur phone while Charging.. But new phones doesnot have that problem i think. Any way make sure at the first day of the Purchase...
And also put ur phone in a flat surface and then use it.. That also a famous SP problem.. So pls check both of this two problems first..

galaxy s3 has 4 cores and in benchmark the SP is much better then S3 with 4 cores. Also Xperia sp has 4g (LTE) better battery and Andreno 320 GPU also is best gpu 4 playing games... i think xperia sp is the right choice..
Sorry for english (not my native language)
Its not the ammount of cores that tells you if the performance is high or not. It is the overall feeling of a device.
I've tested both the SP and P6 and I find the SP more suiteble for me.
Reason:
- UI: I dont like the UI of huawei
- GPU: Adreno 320 is very powerfull
- CPU: Cores and speed dont tell everything
Things the SP has:
-Notificatio ledbar
- Bluetooth 4.0
- 4G (LTE)
- NFC
Things the P6 has:
- Wireless charging
- 2GB RAM
Go to the website of sony and huawei and compare the features and specs. Dont use comparison websites because not all the websites have the correct specs.
Also go to a store and try both phones
Has P6 a HDR Camera?

Yes but the SP too
The SP's 2 cores have a higher clock speed and the chipset in general has a superior manufacturer.
Don't think the P6 has 4G either.
The extra RAM on the P6 is useful though - 1 GB of RAM is OK, but Sony steal quite a lot of it for system resources - 2GB means you'd have to be doing insane amounts of multi tasking to ever worry about it.
I suspect there will be much more development on the SP, if you're into custom ROMS.
My reasons for chosing the SP were 4G and familiarity (I like using custom ROMS, know how Sony do things and am used to all the flashing tools etc.) - I also like the fact that not many people have the SP.
please see test of P6! the touchscreen response is very poor, however, the touch screen of the SP responds only in a few situations even bad. mostly is nice.
Thanks guys I am going for the SP... i am sure i wont regret ...thread can be closed

hi xda buddies!
im planning to leave my xperis x8 to a new device ,with a low-priced device like SP
ill be very happy if help me through out these question:
1-how much is sp's real antutu score? cause some videos on youtube shows a score around 15540 but another shows 23000?
2-Do you like the TFT screen on sp?(quality ,viewing angel, etc) rate from 1 to 10 (10 is a calibrated device like iphones or ipad)
3-Any problems experianced with SP?
4-If you turn back in time will you pick SP again?:sly:
5-Does this device runs GTA SA smooth?(more important that other question!)
Stupid Question ,sorry!
I personally like to pick new Asus fonepad7 which is way cheaper for me to get,and its stunning ips panel

1. alright so my antutu score is 23400
2. the screen is quite pleasant even in the sun so id rate it at a 7-8 viewing angles dont matter much since im always in front of the phone not lying down beside it
3. I havent experienced any problems with the xperia sp
4. i would re pick the sp because at the time there was nothing better up till recently i havent seen anything to match it
5. the sp is one of the best phones for gaming because it has the same gpu as most 2013 flagships minus the 1080p display hence it has a very high frame rate, it has one of the highest frame rates for any phone something around 49 fps

thats an incredible device , i never expected a mid-range phone from sony could beat most of 2012 - 2013 flagships. thats just unbeliveable , so whats the contrast of these antutu scores? its gained by the update to 4.3 or its a special version of phone?

yea it sounds great , if the screen was better ,i wont doubt to choose sp , but 4.6 is small for me (plus in screen navigation-bar which reduces acuall size), my main perpose is not performance , i think output is more important than performance cause you get a device to make use of it & we should attention to this harmony , so i prefer to get sth with better screen & ips panel(ips is very important)
but "MAYBE" i choose this device if the tft screen was good enough in first look

1gb but 4.3 screwed it up i only have like 250 mb avail, with 4.1.2 i had 600+
Buy ZR instead. It's only a little more expensive.
SP is a good phone. But 4.3 seems buggy.
IMHO...
For SP, I think it's a good choice (even for movies and games) for the budget conscious
I stayed away from 4.3 and after trying customised rom, is back with 254, rooted.
Whatever niceties I need - a launcher should help, without the problems associated with 4.3, and without much drain on the system

Benchmarks do not say anything about the real feel and performance of a device. To me it is important that a device feels quick and stable and this in combination with the low price did it for me.
