Xperia T vs LG optimus 4x

Hi ,
Need some help to choose between the Xperia T or the LG optimus 4x. Getting both phones at same price of 480$ ( Rs 26K INR) .
Reasons why i want to go for Xperia T
- Better looking phone
- Slightly smaller
- Good screen
Reasons why i want to go for LG 4x
- quad core
- ips screen
- better battery
The only reason i'm hesitant to get the Xperia T was the back paint peeling off but later i saw that that was an issue with only a particular batch.
The xperia T also looks much better than the brick shaped 4x but performance wise 4x is better.
Camera on the other hand is better on the T but i dont use the cam a lot anyway.
Also even though the 4x is bigger it is lighter than the T.
Need to decide which one to buy before 30th of this month! Any help/ inputs will be appreciated!:fingers-crossed:

LG 4x is alot slower than T. I have compared them once. If you dont actualy want teh best battery life. Then go for teh T. And just get a case to prevent peeling

Seriously? I wouldn't consider a LG Device in my wildest dreams

Of course everybody in this section will recommend getting the XT, as will everybody on the 4X section recommend getting the LG. BTW, tegra 3 is in some cases slower than the Krait SoC on the XT, especially on a badly optimized device like the 4X. It's GPU is better though . If you really want tegra 3 or a better screen than the one on the Xperia T, you should go for the HTC One X.
If you are concerned about the coating peeling off, just get a silicone case. You should get one anyway.

My current device is an LG optimus one and it is quite awesome. Dev is great for the device and i've even put windows 95 one it once just for fun! I've even bricked it a few times Its been 2 more than 2 years with the device and its great but now its time for me to upgrade so yes i would trust LG and the community is always great for these phones

Cool will get a silicone case. Not really focused on GPU coz i'am not an avid mobile gamer ( DOTA 2 and BF3 are all i need )
The HTC one X and Samsung S3 start from 560 US$ ( Rs 30k INR ) and are above what i wan't to spend :angel:

A powerful GPU is not good only for gaming, but also for future-proofing. It seems that android is relying more and more on the GPU in the UI (hardware acceleration in ICS, project butter in JB)

Hmm that makes sense. So if the LG is more future proof i'm guessing its a better choice but somehow i don't know for some reason i'm still preferring the Xperia T. Maybe that's why i asked the question in this forum and not the LG one because i wanted a biased opinion ( i should be a shrink! )

The GPU in the Krait (Adreno 225) is not a slouch by any means. It's also identical to the one in the Nexus 4 (correct me if I'm wrong) so no worries about future proofing.

No nexus 4 has Adreno 320 . Anyway most people are suggesting the LG 4x over at the device suggestion thread

Most people (especially in the US) haven't heard about the Xperia T. There are a lot of Samsung and HTC and LG. fans in that forum

Get the Xperia T. Atleast it has good updates unlike the 4X which is probably going to get JB in the end of this year. Also, it has locked bootloader which means no custom roms.

LG providing unlocked bootloader ( confirmed !) for the 4X with the next JB update it receives.

And since it's probably never going to see a JB update, it won't get an unlocked bootloader either.

LG 4X HD with no Jelly bean and no update
and bootloader is lock ! and never become unlock !!!!!!!
i hate lg phones
sry for my bad En

I owned the LG 4x HD but sold it bcz it wasn't unlocked yet and no ROM's.
Xperia T sure got better build then the LG 4X HD, but the screen for sure is better with LG. What about the processor don't know it seems as fast as the Xperia T.
I think price and specs the LG 4x HD is a very good deal and you have a quad core if that really matters bcz I don't think it matters right now.
What make me buy a phone is sure the design and that's where the Xperia T take the edge over almost all smartphones !!!
Build quality of LG looks very cheap with the backcover that's from cheap plastic feel, mybe with another backcover it would be much better.
ALso the layout is very basic and clean but you can customize little bit with widgets and stuff and if the phone had great support of developers it would be sure a good phone to have .....
I will keep it with my Xperia T and it's arc design to bad it isn't has thin as the arc was.

Buy Xperia Z or waiting for One Sony series?

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:

Help me buy new phone - Xperia V, SP, T, TX, acro S ?

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
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app

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

Sony re fond of not supporting old mobiles.

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.

[Q] Is no-one else interested in Xperia Ultra?

I see a lot of interest in the Z1 as the natural upgrade from the XZ but I see no other comments about the Ultra. Is there something I am missing (besides its sub par battery life)
After University finishes in 1 month I wont have a need for my failing Nexus 7, and I read alot of E-books and so I thought the best solution would be to upgrade my XZ to the Ultra. I don't need a tablet but I do like reading e-books on a comfortable screen size. If worse comes to worse I'll just read on my XZ but I am looking to upgrade.
Any potential hazards I'm missing?

I think it's because most people don't like the idea of a 6.4" screen.
I wanted the Z Ultra, but apparently the camera is horrid, and I think it is made from cheaper materials than the Z1.
It's not that it's a bad phone. It's that you can get better.
Sent from The Magical Xperia Z, running TuRdZzROM v2.2.0

Oh right. I never use cameras so even a **** one will do the job. And define cheaper materials ? Like the XZ is pretty solid. Does the XU use plastic.
Does the Z1 have a bigger screen?

I own a galaxy note 2 as well (and love it), but for me that is the maximum size I could deal with..
The z ultra is just too much phone for me. Some people will love it no doubt, but it isn't for me.

Xperia Sp - Nexus 5

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:

Im not buying new device to downgrade software
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....

Better option is to exchange Xperia SP for Nexus 4 and take some cache. :laugh:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5048&idPhone2=5364
Same resolution, quad core on N4 and 2Gb RAM plus 50€ or more on your pocket.
Plus, you will always have latest available Android and many custom ROMs
You can see for example on ebay.de that Xperia SP is sold in auctions for around 170€
while Nexus 4 you can buy for 120€
