Not Xperia T, but what is the deal with the Xperia V?
Will it be pout in the UK, any idea when or about the prices, can't see any reference on the UK Sony site.
I'm trying to resist the Nexus 4, better spec at a much lower price thst the T.
Thanks guys!

Main feature of XV is that its waterproof. It doesn't have an SD slot from memory though which is why I didn't wait for it and went for the XT. I think it will be coming to the UK at some point but think it has been delayed because Sony didn't think it was waterproof enough and had to do some tweaks.
Regarding XT v Nexus 4 there is already a thread on that too.

Thanks for the response, yes, found that thread but didn't answer the question of when or price.
Xperia V has an sd card.. it was my dream phone until the nexus 4 came up
Sony mobile France tweeted that the Xperia v will be available in France in December and that it will get jelly bean in January. I haven't heard anything international though.

The Xperia S is over £100 cheaper at my local store, it has the same spec, but I prefer the T's design - considering the S will get JB whats worth it more?
I need help with my decision!
Since when does the S have the same spec as the T? The T blows the S out of the water completely in terms of performance.

As tilal said, the Xperia S isn't as good as the T. Particularly the processor. The XS uses the S3 Chip whereas the T uses the S4 chip. Both are clocked at 1.5 GHz

To add onto that, the S4 clcoked at 1.5 ghz even out performs an S3 clocked at 1.7ghz significantly.

Doesn't the XS have a 12MP camera (against the XT's 13MP)? And maybe it was the S, not the V, that was missing the memory card slot. I forget and am too lazy to look up all the specs again myself.

Up till now, there are many rumors said sony is preparing its new series of smartphone, which is called "One Sony series". It will feature Cyber-shot and walkman. Sounds very powerful. So if the rumor is true, Xperia Z will become the last smartphone of Xperia series. Does it still worth buying?
wait if you can wait.
Buy it if you want it. This is technology we're talking here. They go outdated in a matter of months, weeks even. You may wait for the rumoured one series and when it finally arrives, there'll be rumours of a two series and so on. You can never win the race with technology.

You know, no one can answer that question for you.
There will always be newer devices, the device(s) you mentioned aren't even out yet, they might not be what you initially thought they would've been. So in the end you're the only one that can answer your own question.
You can also find an answer here btw:

i have around 350$ which phone would be best?
Definitely not HTC One Mini, inferior CPU, way inferior GPU, same amount of RAM, same mediocre screen but smaller, no micro SD card slot, and probably costs a lot more.
Galaxy S4 mini seems like a better option, but has lower screen resolution and is overpriced.
My opinion, if you're OK with non-expandable 16GB of storage, go with Nexus 4, if it's available in your country. If not, SP.

OK, so my advice, go to a local shop and test both SP and S4 mini, see whichever one you like. Forget S3 and One mini.
One more thing, S4 mini, being a Samsung kinda-flagship, will probably get a lot of developer support.
SP's soc is better than one mini's.

Not necessarily, 4412 is a quad-core A9, 8960T only krait300 dual-core, on the cpu, 4412 better than the 8960T. But the GPU side, adreno320 is better than mali400mp4, and support more api, such as OpenGL ES 3.0.
In my opinion , gs 3 is too old , you would better choose htc one mini or sp . But htc one mini will be much more expensive than sp . And one mini 's configuration is similar to sp or even worse ！so I suggest you should choose sp

Hi!,
Which one is faster - Snapdragon 600 @1,7GHz or S4 Pro @1,7GHz ? And how much? Thanks for help
Some 25% faster to the 600.
it's big difference, BTW in benchmarks or games
In general. 600 chip has a faster gpu, Adreno 330 vs Adreno 320 ( twice as powerful according to some sources) on the S4 so you would expecta better performance both in games and general performance. Faster DDR3 vs DDR2 ram, etc.
no, bro. Snapdragon 800 has Adreno 330 (2x faster than 320). Snapdragon 600 has "only" Adreno 320.
So, if for me the most important is performance, should I buy HTC One ? I hate Samsung and Samsung's plastics.
Yeah I mixed things up there. But yeah, expect the 600 to be a better performer. May I ask why are you asking? Trying to decide between S4 and Z?
no, but I am trying to decide between HTC One and Xperia Z.
Xperia Z is waterproof, but it has worse screen than One and S4 Pro @1,5GHz (I can overclock to 1,7GHz+). HTC One has better screen, the best speakers and Snapdragon 600. What would you choose?
I lost two phones because of water damage beefore getting the Z, so the answer is quite obvious.
I like the One a lot, but I love the Z so much. Between an S4 and a 600 is still close, if it was against the 800 the answer would be easier.
It's a tie in my book, but water resistance is a must for me after losing some 1000€ in water damaged phones
I destroyed Nokia 500, also in water. I'm afraid that I will lost another phone, so I am going to buy waterproof one. I will buy Xperia Z and if I don't like it, I will return phone to shop. After that I will buy HTC One. Good idea?
Sounds fair. If shopbpolicy allows you to do that, go ahead and demo the Z.
In my country it is possible to 10 days (if I buy it on e-store). Tomorrow I am buying Xperia Z. Thanks for help. Do you know any waterproof case to HTC One?
HTC One as i love it but i love xperia z too.
But i will suggest you to get HTC ONE that device is god's creation

the only waterproof case right now for the HTC one is a zip lock bag, the s4 has several.
The 600 is 15% faster clock for clock compared to the S4 Pro. The Adreno 320 GPU is just as fast on both. I wouldn't decide on the One just based off CPU, the S4 Pro is still very powerful (Nexus 7 2013?) And I wouldn't worry about performance on either of these devices

I played with butterfly s just now. Damn it's so smooth like I just can't explain. It's way smoother than the z. If I hadn't bought the z, I would definitely get the butterfly s considering the larger battery, beautiful screen and micro sd and the smoothness to me is on par or better than iPhone 5.
Sent from my C6603
i sold my htc one to get the xz and there is not much of a difference in performance but battery life is a little better on the one
why not go for the Z ultra instead? hardware in that will nuke all other handsets available now....plus you get improved water resistance

You can't fit that in the pocket. And its embarassing to see you with a 'TV' near your ear when you make a phone call.

These are the models I have short listed:
Xperia V, SP, T, TX or Acro S.
I also have my eyes on Xperia M (but i don't know yet how much it costs or if its available, the functions of this phone is the just the right for me and im attracted to its smaller size), Huawei ascend p1, Samsung s4 mini and the Motorola droid mini (really good specs and hoping it would cost something similar to the rest).
If you had a choice which one would you go for ?
If you like the smaller ones then go for M

1.5 ghz dual-core krait processor plus 4.3" 720p display. Trust me I wear skinny jeans or skinny chinos most of the time and my Xperia V fits nicely in my pockets. It's not that big.
Sent from my LT25i using xda app-developers app
I would suggest one of the newer phones sinply due to the likelihood of getting further official updates through Sony if you don't want to unlock the bootloader immediately.
On that note I would suggest between the Xperia T, SP or the M if you do prefer the smaller footprint of the phone. A phone running a Krait chip should be your minimum for further dev support in the future.

None. Wait a week or two for the release of the Moto X. If rumours are to be believed and it is as cheap as they say, it will drive the prices down. Then make a decision.
Tipsters told both Android Community and GizmoFusion, the Moto X will cost $299 (£199) for the 16GB version, while the 32GB version will cost either $349 (£230) or $399 (260) in the US when it launches.

That is whats on my mind and hoping for now. I just came across the Moto droid mini now and edited my first post after being blown away by its specs. The droid mini seems to be the best.
Other than than, im still breaking my head trying to figure out which is best between Xperia V, TX and SP.
My phone usage would consist of :
- Work usage (calls, emails, work site images, work apps)
- Video calling and chat.
- High end and feel good design, handy size (smaller the better), durable
- battery life
- Ability to update to latest android and have good interface and experience. ( kind off bored with the older android versions and so would be great to have new look on the new phone)
buy xperia SP
- better battery life (almoste 2 times better than others)
- faster official update
- better GPU and CPU
SP or you are mad

The nexus 4 would be your best option, or wait for the Nexus 5.
In terms of battery the new Motorola droids being released have very good battery specs. Now Google own Motorola, they are reportedly adding AOSP support to the new devices, but will they keep them up to date with the latest firmware? only time will tell.

Yea Nexus 4 seems to be the best option (although I wish it looked better. Edit: ill take that back. it looks great.).
Im disappointed with moto not releasing its models for worldwide. I had a chat with moto customer service and he denied any possibility of the Droid mini or even razr M, being worldwide. Moto broke my heart.
Hi guys, i just now can to exchange my xperia sp for nexus5 (need to add 130 euros more) is it worth?
I think that this would be nice? Any suggestion? Thanks anyway!
I would say so but others will disagree the nexus 5 was my first choice but I couldn't afford it.
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
If you look at spec and updates I'd say go with N5. But the XSP is also a very good device. Just a bit (very) slow with updates from Sony sometimes

Nexus 5 without any questions
Im changing my SP with locked BL to moto G, if I can spend more money I'll go for an n5.
Never more to sony, only clean android devices like this moto and nexus, and custom rom.
Maybe in couple months I will find some extra money to change phone to n5 or newer (5,5" n6 would be awesome)

Well maybe benchmarks says that SP is better, but software is crap (lag, freezing and slow IO), it would be wonderfull to have unlockable bootloader, but its impossible on my one (orange carrier). I had nexus 7 and it make 18k on antutu after customization, multitasking was great and all creativity, SP got 23,500 but its much slower in multitasking and overall usage.
Package arrived, but I will test new toy after work :good:

On N7 multitasking still was lot better than stock 4.1.2 on SP
I strongly advice anyone against buying a Sony device. Slow updates and when you finally get one it's crap... again... I'm so frustrated by the SP, but unfortunately I don't have the money to get another device right now. If you can buy the nexus 5... do it! Otherwise the Moto G is a good option too. I said this before and people started ranting at me because the SP was much better in their opinion, but I've tested the Moto G and I liked it better than the SP. It even had 4.4 long before Sony started rolling out 4.3! And it has less annoying bugs which gives a better overall user experience.
Like binniebin said, you need the software to go with the hardware otherwise the hardware is nothing. If only Sony could make decent firmware :crying:
If you can have a very sexy and beautiful girl with Double D's if that's your thing, but she is stupid as a cow which drives you crazy after a while OR you can have a still very beautiful girl, but with a little smaller (you know what I mean)'s and she'll do almost everything as you want because she is smart(er) and understands you... You'd be better off with the second one eventhough people say she is less hot.
Yet another another anology: You can better have 150 horsepower in a lightweight streamlined car than 200 horsepower in a heavy old scrapheap which has the aerodynamic characteristics of a brick wall because the lightweight will be more fun... But well maybe that's just my opinion....

Same resolution, quad core on N4 and 2Gb RAM plus 50€ or more on your pocket.

You can see for example on ebay.de that Xperia SP is sold in auctions for around 170€
