[Q] Best Upgrade for X8,Neo V or Mini Pro?

Im here to ask for you guys what phone should i buy,my X8 will complete 1 year and he needs some holidays.So,i've been looking for the Mini Pro and Neo V,they have the same price,basically the same hardware,so,i dont know which one to choose...
-Mini Pro
-QWERTY keyboard
-More Compact
-Small Screen
-Neo V
-Big Screen
-More feature for video Recording
-Slim
-No QWERTY (but with a bigger screen maybe its easier to write)
Any Sugestions?Remembering that i probably'll buy one of these two,or at least one SE,other models and brands suggestions are welcome anyway!
Thanks and sorry for my bad english!

I would go for Neo V, just because i got used to touch screen writing, and with android, its even easier with apps for drawing/writing like Touch-PAL, it makes sending messagges, emails, facebook comments, etc. Very easy.
And i prefer bigger screens also
Goodbye!

I prefer old neo rather than neo V, neo have more thread on development section than neo V.

I also preffer NEO V

I think it depends of your taste, talking about screen size mainly.
I used Xperia X10 and it's wonderful to have a big screen, videos, images and pics look awesome; the problem with it was its size, very big to take it easily in your pocket or your shirt pocket, for example. In contrast, small
phones (with small screens) are more practic, the problem here is the difficult to type fast... Kinda hard.
Neo/Neo V is the better option because I think this phone is well balanced between screen size and phone size. I used one and looks amazing, and it fits well in my hand and my pocket. So, I recommend to go fot it, as I will.
But Xperia Ray is a good option too, if you want a phone as small as X8 but even thinner. Honestly, since I've using X8 I began to love small sizes, and now I think big phones are ridiculous That's why Neo and Ray are perfect, in my opinion.

Im thinking to go with ray. My real intention was neo,but coz i want to buy a laptop too,i'll go with ray.it got almost the same specs as neo n its stylish

+1 stylish.
Not to mention its pixel density and 8MP Camera. I prefer Ray. But note the lack HDMI port of Ray.

Thanks for everyone,i make up my mind,my next phone willl be Neo V!
About Ray,i think its beatifull too,bout its too small for me the screen on landscape mode,plus,its hard too find were i live!
About Neo (8MP) here the price diferrence is too big ,and i really dont need a 8mp camera,5mp will be fine!
Thanks again my friends!

You must go for Xperia neo v. My friends have all xperia phones. But between neo v and Xperia mini it will be better to go for Xperia neo v. Much better than xperia mini....

Don't make mistakes Neo V is best.

Mini pro thicker among all Xperia model... because of the slide out keyboard. Better go for bigger screen... or get Xperia pro

Instead those two
I'll suggest SE Xperia Ray it has 300dpi screen

[Off Topic] How the LG Optimus 4X compares to the Xperia Z

Some of us here really like the Xperia Z and want to switch , here is a video comparison
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3yJDFtGX_Q&feature=youtube_gdata_player
the 4X's screen is way better in terms of color reproduction
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

Really? 4xx PPI vs 312 ppi? And on top of that Bravia engine? I don't think so. The Xperia Z is in another league my man. Yah the o4x is an awesome phone, but there's no way it can compare to the Xperia Z. But I were to get one, I'd opt out for the ZL.

The bravia engine has been hacked . It is on most android devices .

Xperia Z has 2GB RAM and Full HD screen and water resistance ,, So no way to compare but O4X still too good :thumbup:
And do not forget the big difference between price .

Yup, really, 441 ppi doesn't have anything to do with color reproduction, Bravia Engine 2 could, but here it doesn't...and Xperia Z it is another league, that's why 4X is AWESOME
Just look video from 2:40 wow XZ is owned by X4, Sony take my deepest sympathy...:crying:

Only your eyes will tell you how gorgeous is the screen on Xperia Z...
There's nothing to compare.
The Z is light years ahead in every aspect if you try to put it against our 4X.

Actually, that's what I expect. It's brand new while our 4X is nearly a year old. Things change fast these days. Three years ago the best you could get was 900MHz single-core with 480x800 screen. Two years ago the best you could get was the 2X with dual-core, still with 4" display in 480x800. And it was until last year that the quad-core phones and HD screens were introduced. So it's the logical next step, even higher performance and even better displays. What doesn't mean our phones are obsolete now. Android can't even handle four cores properly.

Well my eyes told me, looking at this video, that Z is not so spectacular. Even more it fails short in color and brightness department.
Or I should use my ears to hear (look) what daddy Sony has to say about it's child Z?!?
And there is nothing to compare, man R U SERIOUS?!?
There are great screens out there and they are comparable!!!
So stop wasting your energy on blabering nonsense and seek for some sense, then come back
I just found one aspect where 4X beats Z, and blindness began...

Well... You saw a video of a display,wasn't your eyes.
So,what i said is right.
Again,there's nothing to compare.
Even with your arrogance the Z still light years ahead and,if a phone is better,this makes our 4X worse?
FTGS!!! ¬¬'
And about "sense",i prefer UXP :good:!
The only thing blind is your nescience.

Videos doesn't do any justice to how beautiful the Xperia Z will be. Hell, my co-workers HTC Droid DNA has a 1080P display with 440PPI...and my O4X doesn't even get close to how sharp color reproduction is.

seems like ips panel is still good on color reproductions
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app

IPS is the best display's tech for me.
But sometimes an TFT(SLCD) like this looks better.

[Q] Xperia Z's Audio DAC ?

Hi all !
Does anyone happen to know how good the DAC is on the Z ?
Thanks !

phone isnt out yet..

It's integrated in S4pro chip, just like N4 and OG

Thanks noxlord !
Bad news for us then ...
@lokenok Thanks Mr Obvious.

In s4pro really good DAC but quiet. So question whether there are additional amplifiers.

This is SONY we're talking about... they always paid lots of attention to their devices' Walkman feature so i'm sure they won't screw this one up.

I seriously hope the DAC is good..although there is always the root tweaks

If the DAC is not good, tweaks won't help. But I'm also confident that Sony did their work great.

NOTE 1 has a bad DAC but with tweaks it sounds great!

The HTC One s was loud and that has a S4 chip, I have also listened to the Nexus 4 and the audio is very good, also xperia T is good but just needs to be a bit louder

Yeah, sound is said to be really good on N4, but really low too.
I hope Sony techies will amplify the sound. I'd really love to use good IEMs on this device.

My local three store had a xperia z today (was very surprised at this actually) had over and hours play with it love everything about it and the audio is very good, it is more than loud enough. I also played with the nexus 4 again and the Z is louder not that the nexus 4 is low in volume.

Nothing short of amazing, I was amazed by the screens on the Xperis S & T this one is a whole new league and plus its the first 1080p screen I have seen. It is just amazing and totally cannot wait to get mine on feb 28th or march 1st.

@dibdin There's already an interesting screen topic in Q&A. Let's keep it about the sound here.
@RWSAMHTC Thanks for your input ! Which kind of headphones did you try it with ? Do you know their impedance ?

I tried it with my urbeats in ear headsets. I tried 15 different types of songs from bashment, reggae, rnb etc. I mostly like bass and loudness and the xperia z did very well I am very please with it. Loudness in headphones was always my main issue, now I dont need to worry about that. I also tried the loudspeaker it was loud enough not the loudest of speakers but loud enough. couldnt try any phone calls though. Also test camera and video and video audio quality which on my one x and sgs3/gn2 wasnt the greatest atall. Very impressed with the z really. Atm the only think i think it needs is a blocking mode for calls and texts.

OK great to hear [no pun intended] that the sound is 'LOUD'..Other aspects like the bass and all can be tweaked..i was hoping that i wont have to carry an amplifier.

I played around with different equalizer settings, really impressed with bass and the loudness

So the loudness of a speaker is comparable due to Xperia T?

[Q] xperia z from note 2 screen calibration

Hi guys I'm in the middle of a crisis ha ha I'm looking at selling my note 2 and keeping the xperia z that I've just upgraded to but want to ask a few questions
The xperia z screen is ment to be far superior then the note 2 but when I play hd vids on YouTube the note just seems better
Suppose my question is is the xperia z not as good because of screen calibration or is it a screen limitation or is it personal preference lol
Has anyone else updated from the note 2 and feels the same or is it just me?
I know again maybe the wrong question to ask what do you guys feel is the better phone out the two before I sell one
Thanks guys

[Q] Xperia Z or Galaxy Note 2?

Which is better? Xperia Z or Galaxy Note 2. The primary thing im going to be doing is gaming, facebook, browsing the internet and some social networking.
I've heard that the Note 2 lags in some games? I want a phone that can run all games smoothly.

both are amazing phones the note 2 is prob one of my favorite phones of all time but now have a xperia and that too is amazing
i feel you maybe better off with the xperia z cause it might be more future proof but either one you wont be dissapointed

The Note 2 has 720p screen + MALI-400MP
Xperia Z has 1080p screen + Adreno 320
It's a really hard choice. I've heard that the screen on the Xperia Z is really washed out. Can anyone confirm that?
Also, the battery on the Note 2 is AMAZING. Thats one of the main reasons I consider it.
