Is it worth to change my xperia V to xperia sp? SP got more battery juice..and a few feature that i think will be ported(dualshock3)..but it pack with adreno 320 and hgher clocked cpu..but it more bulkier..n heavier..
Yes! I want to change to it. My Xperia V keeps losing its flaps.

i think that too..but worried about its screen and camera, many review say it bad..
For me still V better.. At least water resistance.. and I don't think the GPU for V give you anything problem..

Here's my conclusion. The Xperia V is just a prototype for the Xperia Z. The Xperia Z has better flaps than the Xperia V.

I think i'll take the bite and sell off my V for an SP.
Really like my V, but upgrading it for $33 feels like a no brainer

been playing with SP at shop earlier..what can i say is, the screen in V is more good than SP..and the camera in SP is not good as when i take close up picture, autofocus lost..well, guess im stick with V then..
If anything, I'd wait for the ZR. If it is what the rumors say, i.e. essentially a Z with 4.3" screen, then it could be a real killer device.

Hi all,
I have the red Ion (lt26h) and now a nice black V. Here are some quick impressions:
1. Battery life: the Ion seems to happily last a few hours longer than the V. I listen to music and Whatsapp a lot.
2. Screen: the screen on the Ion seems to have better contrast, deeper blacks and the V looks slightly yellowish
3. Audio: the music output via speakers sounds better on the Ion. Via headphones, the V has more distortion
4. Camera: the rear camera on the V is sharp, fast and virtually zero lag. The front camera blows monkeychunks and feels like a bad joke - poor quality, not sharp, etc.
I'll add more as I discover them... anything in particular you guys want to know?
The Ion is definitely a "premium" phone. But the V will be with me often, especially when out in the field where I know I'll get drenched in rain.

Follow-up on battery life: in Singapore this is marketed as the "Bond Phone". It's no wonder he was uncontactable for so long!

But seriously I´ve just got my V and it feels so and so, coming from a Note II it feels a little small and slow... I know it's a personal preference but should I stick with it or change to an Ion? ( just looking for user inputs )

Ive switched from note/note2 to V and T aswell. Loving the switch so far, running cm on the T and stock on V. For some reason the V feels a bit better in my hand than the T. The volume rocker and power button is better placed aswell on the V. Waiting to see new sony phablet aswell but so far very happy with my V minus the batterylife since im used to note2.

Just wondered if anyone knew what the new sony phone was being release that sported a smaller full hd screen than the z? I'm sure i have read it on here somewhere and would appreciate if someone could please tell me what it is.
Thanks in advance.

I would like to tell you that no sony phone other than Xperia Z and ZL with a smaller screen sports a full hd screen. However there are several devices having a resolution with 720x1280.

There are rumours of one. Should be a 4.6" with full HD. But it's a rumor at best.

What is the software different of xperia z and xperia z ultra?
Specifications.
XPERIA Z is 5.0 inch screen with SnapDragon S4 Quad @1.5GHz
XPERIA Z Ultra is 6.0" screen with SnapDragon 800 @2.2GHz.
However from developer point of view the XPERIA Z is fast enough. It's a minor upgrade.

I don't know if this counts as software or hardware(hardware sounds about right) but the Z Ultra supports 'conductive stylus' i.e. any conducting tip (pencil/pen tip) at least 1 mm in diameter will work as a stylus for the Z Ultra.
Dang, 6.4?

Stay clear from Sony Xperia Z Ultra. It's junk!
My Sony Z Ultra Purple ( special ordered Phone ) didn't even last 7 months. The Phone was only used indoors in an office and also had a Case and Screen Protection. What happend is one day the Phone No longer recognized the fact that there was a Sim Card inserted. I sent the Phone to Sony in Laredo Texas and after a Month it was returned unrepairable. They said the Contacts inside the Sim Drawer became bent thus making it impossible for the Phone to function. $ 879 wasted.
The Customer Service is so darn rude and nasty that I will never again recommend or buy anything made by Sony. Their Products and Quality suck!!!
I would stay away from the Sony Z Ultra. I bought one for my mum and not only did it break on the first drop, the screen kept registering touches so that it was impossible to unlock with a mouse plugged into the mircoUSB port. Same goes of the Xperia Z

Really depends on what you want your phone for.
If you are a gamer, choose the SP as it has the Adreno 320 which is MILES ahead of the Adreno 225.
If you are a pure photographer, then choose the T, because it has a 13 MP camera while the SP has 8MP
If you are an average person that does some of all of the above, then I'd say the SP is better, because of its wonderful specs and decent camera. No lag at all for me on the SP.
Sent from my C5303 using xda premium
I would choose the SP any day. Not a big fan of arched backs.
SP. Go for SP bro. I am an old user of T. SP is Better tha T.
Only Three things is Better in T.
1) RAM management. Awsom in T.
2) Camera
3) Display. 100 % Better than SP
Other wise SP is the winner..

Better go for SGS III or Nexus 4 or get more money and buy XZ. In Poland different between SP and Z is about $75 - $100 (New SP <-> almost new Z).
I would go for Nexus 4 if I need to choose again (and have not enough money for Z). Always updated custom roms.
I don't regret buying SP but annoying is no CM for C530x yet.
I also tought about buying Xperia T but 2 things made me choose for SP:
- better battery and stamina mode
- more recent so longer updates ( I guess )

1. Is camera good in SP? and does front camera do nice photos?

Then you should choose the nexus 4.
Same GPU but a Quad-Core CPU, + tons of custom ROMs and the latest android available -- just awesome

Camera in SP is actually better than Z or T. 2 of my friends have a T and a Z. we did a camera comparison test. and guess what, SP was the winner, in low light and outdoor. might have less MP's than the others but the quality is awesome.
Performance wise the SP is close to the N4. Our processor has a high clock speed, we have a better battery and expandable storage. For the price it's a very good 4g phone.
I could have got a better phone but I don't need flagship performance. It's a bit snobby to say this, but I have to raise my eyebrows when people get the most expensive phones and only really use them to make calls, send texts and take basic photos.

BTW i decided against this swap - went to a sony store to check out the Z against my ZL...didnt quite like the bigger size and the flaps ..have a sony digicam with the flap which broke in a year..so not a big fan of that design..plus it feels bigger in hand..so decided to keep my ZL even though the deal itself was definitely good ..

For me, the Z was too big.
Also, because of the shape and backplate, it's not comfortable to hold in 1 hand.
The ZL is much better, 7.5(!!)mm shorter and 2mm narrower.
Also has infrared and camera-button.
Z has more devs and waterproof.
Just decide which are important for you
