Looking for a new phone - which candidate is the best?

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..

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I don't recommend galaxy advanced cause it's outdated & no official ics rom(+looking like s##t)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.

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!

Hello xda members.
It's time for me to change my xperia U. I was thinking to buy xperia T or xperia SP.

Here is the difference between Xperia TX and Xperia SP
Xperia T - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Xperia SP
(1. No LTE) ( 1. Has LTE)
(2.Bravia Engine 1) (2.Bravia Engine 2)
(3. Internal Memory 16 GB) (3. Internal Memory 8 GB)
(4.Bluetooth 3.1) (4. Bluetooth 4.0)
(5.Camera 13 MP) (5. Camera 8 MP)
Definitely SP's performance is better cuz it has more powerful processor and better GPU and higher Battery. So if you are gamer choose SP. But if want to take good picture and also gaming choose Xperia T.
I'm using Xperia TX,(same as Xperia T) It's very stylish and good looking rather then SP. But Xperia TX also has a removable battery but T and SP not, so that's a good plus point. So if considered overall Xperia TX is the winner.
I played many HD games in my TX and all of them are ran very smoothly. So i'm happy with my Xperia TX. So my opinion is performance wise SP is better. But overall Xperia TX is best. Still choice is yours :cyclops:
I hope you will find ur desired mobile :good:

@irfan_omi22 Thanks mate
I don't care about BE as it can be ported. The only thing i worry about is the performance. SP costs 100 euros more and don't want to spend all this money, that's why i asked if the T's performance is good enough. As about games the only game i play is NFS and some fps. Ok, i think the best choice is T.

Just a note, I've seen that the adreno 320 devices have higher resolution textures in high-end games compared to the T/V.

SP has a way bigger battery, xperia t will get you through the day if you're a medium user but not if you're a heavy user. So, if battery is important to you I think you should go for the SP. Also I like the aluminium design of the SP. I wish I could trade my T for a SP.

Small correction there: The T would get you through a day with heavy usage and about 2 days with low usage. Also SP has the sexy LED strip!
Also BE2 ports? I don't really trust they work. At least I havent found a working port for mine.

Via pimp my rom i can integrate bravia engine 2. I don't link led bad to be honest mate. I personally don't find it useful for xperia u. I don't use it at all even for notifications.
The only thing that i am worry about is the adreno 225 to be honest. It's the only reason i am not sure if worth buying it.

Gaming is not something I do often but I have tried some games such as Anomaly HD, Gun Strike, Razor Salvation, Tentacle Wars and CS Portable. I have not experienced any kind of lag. As for phone calls, occasionally the dialer does lag a bit when making calls (especially T9 dialer) and annoys me, but that maybe because I have well over 200 apps and installed and many of them have running processes. If you're talking about calls during games, there is no problem. Incoming calls are fine.
About Bravia, there is no real proof that it works (even with those who claim it works) so it might just be two lines on your build.prop and a couple useless of extra files in your system

Or you can wait for the coming up Phablet,Xperia ZU (Togari) :laugh:
Or Xperia i1 Honami

o...i stay in Malaysia and here only sell Xperia TX,T no.

It seems that SP has a different CPU(series) from others(T,TX,Z etc).So maybe FXP/CM support will not be easy,but I can't be sure of it...

To be honest bro, I don't use cm10 even if its a great rom. I used it on my Xperia u but didn't like it because of the camera.
I found sp on almost same price with Xperia t so I think I'll buy the sp.

Shall i buy the Xperia T

Hello i am thinking of buying Xperia T but since Android 4.3 is comming out i thought that Xperia T is a bit too old .... shall i buy it or buy something else .
Its pretty cheap for its specs and i think its one of the best phones out there but its is kinda old.

I'd go for the SP now

Exactly, SP is the best buy

Yes, you can buy mine!
Only joking mods.
Seriously, im getting rid of mine for the Moto X. And if i wasnt getting that id get the Nexus 4.

So you suggest me to go with the Xperia SP rather than the Xperia T ???
Xperia T has better camera but Xperia SP is a more pricie in Greece.
Also Xperia T has the SOD issue.
I dont know yet i will compare the two.
And search the thing a bit more.
Edit: I searched the thing and i will probably go with the SP if i have the money.
It has a 1.7 Dual Core proccessor and 4g Technology
But the 8 MP camera should be enough for a person which does not take much photos.
But as for the front camera....Is 0.3 MP enough for Skype calls ???

hey bro, the main interesting part you should go for in SP is GPU, did you know that it has Adreno 320 GPU?!!! the same as the one used in Xperia Z, while the pixel quantity is way less than Xperia Z, so you would see better graphic performance, or AT LEAST the same
no one can compare Adreno 320 (in SP) with Adreno 225 (in T and TX)
don't make my mistake, go for SP
hope that my words come of a service to you, bro

I had the same doubt and i decided to go for T for the following reasons:
1)Better camera (13/1.3 vs 8/vga). Most sp users complain about camera quality.
2)More internal storage 16gb (T) vs 8gb (SP)
3) Also seems there are some problems with touchscreen of the SP.
4)I really like the design of the T.
5)It's true that has an adreno 225 the T but i also took a look on several gaming reviews on youtube and seems there are no lags.
6)Found T for 230 euros and SP for 350 euros.
7)T has cyanogenmod and even if there are no official releases from sony cm will give us probably android 4.3 and 5.0.
8)On some videos of youtube seems that t has better display than SP.
Just my opinion mate.

Thanks but now i am more confused.
As for the price Xperia T 264 EURO and Xperia SP 300 (no bigie there)
SP +
1)Adreno 320
2)Bravia Engine 2
3)Bluetooth 4
4)4G
5)Larger battery (++)
6)CPU
7)Larger Screen
8)Aluminum Frame
9)I like the button
10)Dedicated camera button
SP -
1)Camera
2) Internal
3)Design
4)Pixel Density
(Internal Storage is not a huge deal for me .... because i will have a 16GB external storage and with apps to sd its no biggie)
Know Problems : http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/128963?start=0&tstart=0
Xperia T +
1)design
2)Camera
3)Pixel density
4)Internal Storage
Xperia T -
1)CPU
2)GPU
3)no dedicated camera button
4)Older handset which means it may not get the 5.0 kelimepie update
5)Small Battery
Known Problems : http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android-Devices-Samsung-HTC-Sony/Sony-Xperia-T-sleep-of-death/td-p/393068

Small battery offers way less fun
But still a good and Cheaper handset.....
I am not sure....

You can't be sure about android 5.0 update.
Xperia t was created as high end device and sp like mid range device.
There are several mods and roms for t currently not available for sp.

Right but i think i will go for the SP because i it will be updateable to 5.0 and it has better specs

No! Buy Xperia T.
No words can describe that! Simply I went to the store and SP wasn't even close to T! I can't explain why.
As somebody said here T is made to be high end, and SP mid range phone.
This is evidence specifications mean nothing!
There's new Honami flagship on the way, price of Z(L) can drop!
Either go with T or with Z(L)
If you want newer Androids, T has good development, go to xda and install.
I think Sony even said older devices (T) is getting 4.3 but I don't know.

The best thing I think is to buy a nexus 4 if you want for sure getting android 5 and 4.3.
Since processors, rams and other stuff change every 6 months and you can't never be sure that you have the best phone of the moment, why don't you buy a phone like Xperia t and a tablet like Google nexus 7? You will have a great phone and an epic tablet for gaming etc. I am thinking to do this way personally.

I cant afford both ( i can barely afford one ) so i will buy the best phone.
But guys personaly i am not taking very many photos (1-2 per 2 or even 3 months and not from people objects and stuff most of the time)
and i need something up to date and very fast with a large screen.(both Sp and T have these things)
I went to the store and meesed with the Xperia Sp for a bit and saw that it fitted my hand well and it did not lag a bit.
When SP gets old (in one year or so ) i will start messing with it (if there are no update to future android versions) like changing the rom or flashing a kernel or even overclocking it so its stays up to date.Also i saw somewhere that SP is designed as a High End device and it will be updateable even in the future android versions (after 5.0)

Also the place where i am buying the phone from has not the Nexus 4 available now.But in no store in my town i found the Nexus 4 ... i dont think it is available in Greece.

xperia sp , good choice or not?

hi xda buddies!
im planning to leave my xperis x8 to a new device ,with a low-priced device like SP

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?

the SP is a monster for a midranger, it even beats some flagships of the same time, Nexus 4, S3, Xperia Z, all thanks to that gpu and fast 1.7 ghz processor, in vellamo it beat out the note 3 and z ultra

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.

[Q] is SP worth buying?

i am planning to buy a new xperia SP but the fact that sony stopped manufacturing the device made me stop right there. it is of the same price as the xperia C but it has worse specs except for the quadcore processor. i am basically a gamer guy and i dont like the samsung's shi*ty touchwiz UI. i am completely comfortable with rooting and development but not rich enough o get a high end device every year. every help will me appreciated.
thanks in advance

no, find some better alternatives.

If you only want a phone that runs games perfectly then you can buy this phone.It has a powerful processor and gpu and is capable of running high end games.It also features a large battery so you can get good battery life as well.

around 11,000 rupees(approx 185$) i visited sony showroom and they said i can get a new only if someone have it in their stock. but i dont think buying it brand new after the productoin has been long stopped is a good idea. specs wise the phone seems promising. a little modification in the os will turn the beast out of it.

i am basically a gamer guy. i currently own xperia x10 and with right improvements in the system, i can run modern combat 4 almost flawless(apart from phone's bad multitouch) i am not rich enough to get the xperia z and i don't wanna go for chinese phones either.
since in india 4g launched recently,i assume we will have the non LTE version (C5302). is that gonna be written on the about phone screen?
