Hey guys im using the galaxy s1 and s2 and modded heavily.
I was always an ericsson guy and right now tired of the galaxy.
I need a new phone, Probables are a T or Tx or One x or x+ by HTC, I need a bit bigger screen for my eye issue but the acro s seem to hold more information for the ppi?
Please help me out with out thoughts on these, I need a battery to hold full day or more, good music and screen,camera is optimal and gamin for few, internet as well.
waiting for your reply.
T or tx.
...
acro s if you want to save money
TX if you want sony
T if TX is not available for your country
OneX if you want a quadcore beast

I read that Quads are no use on apps and games? also sony dual is much as powerfull as the one x quad?
Quads are useful for games that utilize it. Apps not as much. And android overall no. But the adreno 320 is a pretty good GPU.

I came from a One X to the XpT and I've not looked back.
As it stands, the HTC doesn't have S-Off so you need to use a PC every time you want to flash a new ROM.
HTC have really screwed the pooch and I'll never buy HTC again until they sort themselves out.
As it sounds like you enjoy modding your phones, I'd give the HTCs a wide berth.
Perfect example is CM10, it took months to get CM10 to be on get.cm for the HTC. It took a few days for the XpT.
If you decide you want the HTC One X anyway, I'll sell you my black 32GB one.
TX gorgeous 720p display with 13mpx camera
well i was had a hard time to decided which one is really fit for me
my choices is Xperia T, Xperia SL, HOX, S III
but i decided to get XT, i like the design, it's better than the others IMO

Btw what are the aspects of Xperia SL? I dint see any in the xda yet!
I've been offered a couple of deals on some phone by o2 , my question is would owners of the xperia T pay a extra £100 to have a nexus 4 or one x plus .
Also does the UK have the jelly bean up date yet???
I also had the nexus 4 for a month and then sold it instead of my TX(almost same as T). I felt my TX is more well-built and felt nicer with the hands, the thinness of TX really makes a difference for me. Only advantage of N4 is the more smooth and fluid experience due to JB software but that would come to T/TX this coming March as well so...
And the display really made the decision for me, viewing an identical photo and an identical hd YouTube video is far more pleasing with the TX compared to nexus 4 when I compared it side by side. The vibrant and sharpness colors in TX is really better than nexus 4.
And my wife got one x (which has same display with one x+), it beats the other 2 in my opinion, tiny bit better than TX but the nexus 4 got no chance.
So if screen factor doesn't bother you much, and not to mention the sd card slot(T/TX), just go for nexus 4. Otherwise, go for T/TX or One X+.

You've been blinded by the fact that you own one, especially if you have one without the opticontrast screen. The HOX screen is much, much better than any other 720p screen on the market, miles ahead over the one on the XT. It's even better than the one on the Galaxy S3 imo.

That's pretty much what I said LoL, HTC one x display is better than the 2.

@Rycon: It's not just a tiny bit better, the difference is night and day, especially when it comes to viewing angles.
@OP: Go for the Nexus 4 unless you really need SD card support.

Yeah my GF has a One X and I have viewing angle jealousy, in fact general screen jealousy, the One X's screen is the best that I have seen on any phone, ever. That is until you press on the sides that is or it cooks itself.
The only plus point is I can see what's on her screen but she can't see mine
The other two devices should both have an unlockable bootloader (not certain about the One X on O2) and the Nexus is a Nexus so that goes without saying. However if you get an Xperia T from O2 it will have a non-unlockable bootloader (for the time being anyway).
FYI nowhere has Jelly Bean yet, there are rumours and screenshots of a supposed JB update but nobody on these forums has it yet officially or unofficially.
One X has better screen than one X+, they are not the same. I would choose Nexus 4 too, if u dont need sd, like they said above me

I had a one X and would LOVE a One X+
I lost my one X in Paris (damn you travel insurance that doesn't cover mobile phones...!!!!)
I then got an Xperia T.
My biggest gripe with the Xperia compared to the one X is simply down to less development in relation to the One X on these forums.
Camera - Sony wins hands down
Screen - One X wins hands down
for actual use, both handsets are pretty comparable however I believe the one X has quad core compared to the double core -> will benchmark higher, but for real time usage, both similar.
Would I pay an extra £100 and have the One X+? probably - but am a tech junkie
If i didnt have the urge to flash new builds when available, I probably would say keep the £100 and get the Xperia
Nexus - haven't used, but have read operating it is a beast, but camera it is iphone level
Does the OX+ have that much development either? I don't think it has CM10/10.1 yet as far as I remember.

The T has 64 gb sd card support...so whats up with the sd card for the T?
EDIT
Apologies, I thought you argueing the other way. Any phone with no SD card expansion slot is not worth it...so its a no brainer for me!
I'm having kind of a hard time deciding if I should trade in my iphone 5 for the xperia z...opinions please? thanks.

iPhone talk isn't allowed here, so we will all suggest the Z.
It's like comparing Apple with Pears. Never had an Apple product and never will, but the myPhone seems to be quite decent under any circumstances.
Android vs iOS I'd always choose Android.
Edit:
P.S. What's the point making another topic? There are really plenty out there.
What if people made topics to compare the Z with other phones.
Then you would have:
Xperia Z vs Galaxy Note
Xperia Z vs Galaxy Note II
Xperia Z vs Galaxy S III
Xperia Z vs Galaxy S III mini
Xperia Z vs Droid DNA
Xperia Z vs Nexus 4
Xperia Z vs One X
And those are just a few....
Sv: Xperia Z vs iphone 5?
It's hard to compare. Two very different systems. If you like how Apple does things, you might like their phones better. But you better like how they do things, because you aren't allowed to change it. I know I found ios borring..

Easy one this go for the Z if you like customization and stuff, if you like stock standard same as others go with Apple has the iphone 4 and dont get me wrong it was a nice handset but i didnt get attached to it as i felt bored with the set up.
I have both. iPhone 5 and Xperia Z. I am a happy man.

Yes, swap it for the Xperia Z. It's far superior.
I have iPhone 5 as well. Just got my xperia z today. So far it's okay. Like the larger screen. Nothing wrong with the iPhone. Just got bored of it.

Xperia Z and iPhone 5 both are smart phones and there are many people who are interested in buying such kind of phones.iPhone 5 is one of the most popular as well as latest model of Apple.
I own a nexus 4, iPhone 5 and the xperia z. I honestly think the nexus is the best in terms of software and speed. The Z is a beautiful beast that I'm adjusting to... If only it ran stock jellybean. With regards to the iPhone 5, for me it's a massive disappointment. Not really any better than the 4s and you have to look after it a lot more as it scratches very easily.
If you have a tight budget get the nexus 4, if not then get the Z or hold out for the HTC one or Samsungs new offering when they announce.

Obvious? They both had their bad ass pics there but I don't see one being "obvious". Not that I'd consider an iPhone. They're WAY past their prime.

I thought it was obvious that the iPhone pics had a yellowish wash over them when viewed next to the Z pics. This was especially noticeable in the low light pics - the colour in the Z pics looked much more realistic. And, the details looked sharper overall in the Z pics. Although, there were a few pics where the iPhone came out on top.
Thanks guys. I (a little) ashamed to say Im leaning more towards the Galaxy s4 now after a glimpse into it... instead of the xperia z.
I think subconciously I know the right choice is to switch and give up my ip5 but I've been an iphone user for so many years. Maybe I just needed some convincing
But highlly anticipating the S4!!! Guess I should move this to the s4 threads now,.,
The camera of Xperia Z is really great and I have used it which owned by one of my friends.
I'm am looking for opinions on buying this phone NOW.
I am currently using the HTC One. I have been through a lot of devices, lately and looking for that "perfect" device and I was holding off on the Xperia Z mostly due to the price unlocked. I broke down and got the HTC One on contract in the US. Its a great phone, but just lacks that wow factor. It's like the Honda of phones, everything done well, nothing spectacular.
So, thinking I can flip it for the same price if not more than the Xperia Z, I'm looking again.
With all the other flagships out there or soon to be out there, do you think buying the Z now still makes sense?
Thanks for looking
Yes, definitely worth it. I've been using this beast for the past 2months & i can assure you that you won't be disappointed.

There isn't much difference apart from the UI and the camera between the htc one and the xz. The HTC has a newer processor, the XZ has a better camera. Different screen technologies. If I was you I would stick with the One unless you don't like it at all. They are both good phones.
the only wow factor that XZ has over One is the water-proof feature. Beside that, One is better than Z in most aspects. If you want something to show off to your friend, you better check for Galaxy S4 as it has many features such as "fun" (and mostly useless) gestures:highfive:
go with S4 for the trade...
S4 over the pair of them.

I just recently had a Note 2. Is there anything really different in the S4? I see them as virtually the same.
I think if you like the Sony Xperia z go for it

It's your choice which thing you want in your phone

I was in same situation as you, I ended up selling the HTC One and bought a Xperia Z.
For me it was mainly that accessibility service has major bugs in the lock screen when it's turned on for my pebble service. And I need this turned on to use my pebble smartwatch.
Also not a huge fan of sense, I much prefer stock android, and sony is much closer to that. And I just like the design of the Xperia Z overall.
HTC did have a better screen with better viewing angles, but I didn't really find that an issue with the Xperia z.
I am also using an S4 from my company and I still prefer the Xperia Z over it. All the new "features" aren't really that practical in real life use. It doesn't look like a premium phone, just the same as the S3. Touchwiz isn't so bad, but when i enable accessibility settings for my pebble watch it disables a number of the new "features". Dunno why.
This was my experience, obviously yours will be different.
It's really all down to what YOU prefer. I would advise you to have a try, play around and see what you like first.

The problem had always been i am in the us and nobody has the Z on the shelves. I would love to try the Z in person but its just not an option
. So i will probably end up buying it and hoping for the best.

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
