Any mid range phone that has multi touch a better processor and a biggerscreen? Any phone better than X8 and has a price between 300$ not more than that. Help guys need your opinion. Im planning on Galaxy Ace. Is a go or no go?
Hmm maybe you should look for reviews about your target phone to buy. I suggest you post this in xda general area for you to have a satisfying comments comes from the different phone user, coz most people here are all using x8 so we cannot compare.

wait for xperia minipro.1ghz cpu with multitouch
I'd not suggest Galaxy Ace if you have x8.
Because if you overclock and use custom rom on your x8,
the specification is almost the same.
We have multitouch modules,also you'll have real multitouch if you are the lucky one to have Cypress touchpad.
My friend is using Galaxy Ace,he benchmarked his phone,and it's about ~700 point.
Our custom rom can reach ~800-900.
So,I think you can wait for xperia minipro or buy a higher level phone.
Edit:Mid-range's phones are usually use Qualcomm's MSM7x27 series processer,so it's hard to find a mid-range phone with better processer.
if i were you i would increase the budget and get a nice htc, search through the threads and see which phone is getting the most attention from devs, at least then you will always have something new on your device.
My brother is gonna buy a Nexus S ^_^ I am f***** jealous.A month ago, it cost 800$ but now it costs 450$. If you have a higher budget,I think you should byu that sssssooooo good and nice smartphone

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961714
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.
Hi
I'm planning to buy out Xperia ZR. Couple of questions are confusing me:
1. Will I be able to root/unlock the bootloader?
2. Will I be able to use custom roms like CyanogenMod, MIUI, XDA-Developer's superior roms etc?
3. As I'm learning android development, will this phone be good if I look at that purpose also?
4. I heard there are some issue with call volume as its lower than others? Is it true?
5. Heating up issue? Is there?
Why I choose this phone over nexus 4 or xperia z?
Same hardware as Nexus 4 but having good camra+water proof body+Better battery life+NFC etc. in the same price.
I know I'll miss the s/w updates..Will I be able to use stock android latest updates on this in case I want to?
Comparing to Xperia Z couple of things are more as in the price of 5K..
Why I came to ask here, Coz if I see under Xperia Z or Nexus 4 there are lots of threads regarding android development custom roms, tweaks...but under ZR, I see a few...
Things are pretty much confusing me...
Please guide me even if I miss anything help me to get a better phone ..
Thanks Alot
I think that if you want to learn about android development, any device will be a good device.
Every device works for learning the basics, and any device have your own issues, so you will have to deal with some issues every now and then...

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes if you're willing to risk your device
4. Not really. The call volume is loud enough for average person, but not the best in the market of course.
5. It's a waterproof dustproof phone with IP58 rating. Expect some heating issue but it won't be serious from my experience. You can always cool it down with water.

Hi,
1. Yes, you will be able to root and unlock the bootloader.
2. This phone has very limited worldwide availability, so very limited dev support too. There are virtually no ROMs for this device save for CM by FXP. That's also why the Xperia ZR forum is under the 'Legacy & Low activity devices' forum.
3. For Android development (both apps & ROMs), the phone should be great. It's basically the same as Xperia Z except for some software changes. If you're learning development and you become good at it, you can contribute to the ZR development forum yourself.
4. I've just got my ZR and haven't put a SIM card in yet, so haven't checked the call volume, but Sony provides a lot of settings to tweak call volume in Settings -> Call settings.
5. Almost every new generation phone gets hot. Unlike PCs, there's no fan heatsink + thermal paste to quickly radiate the heat from the CPU. It has to dissipate from the back of the device, and quad-core CPUs get quite hot during gaming and other CPU intensive tasks. Adding to that, the battery also generates some heat. So it's natural for a high end CPU bearing phone/tablet to get hot. That said, ZR heats up less than Xperia Z from what I know, both having the same processor. I'm guessing this is because of the thicker back on ZR. HTC One, Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S4, Nexus 7 all heat up so it's not a deal breaker.
TL;DR -
Custom ROM support - Don't buy ZR, it doesn't have any save for one at the moment. Whether the situation will improve in future, I don't know, but it seems unlikely because of ZRs limited availability. I bought ZR for my dad because custom ROMs and stuff don't matter to him. Regarding upgrades, Sony has already promised to update ZR to 4.3, and they might also update it to the next version too. For that we'll have to wait and see.
Excluding ROM support, there's absolutely no reason not to buy ZR. Compared to Z, the smaller 4.55" 720p screen actually contributes to battery life as there's slightly less backlight area + the GPU has to power far less pixels than a 1080p screen (less that half the number), and the screen clarity is great because of the smaller size (greater pixel density than a 5" 720p screen for example). You really can't make out the difference between 720p and 1080p screens at the normal distance you hold your phone at while using it. Only if you look very, very closely. So the added battery life advantage is a bonus. The battery is also removable, so you can keep a spare with you to swap immediately if you ever need to do that, and even when the battery goes bad you can easily replace it with a new one yourself. This phone also has a higher water-proof rating, and feels very sturdy compared to the glass backed Xperia Z.
The only real disadvantages of the ZR compared to Z are the much lower resolution front facing camera (but then again most video calling apps don't do HD and therefore don't make use of a high-res camera), and 8GB internal storage instead of 16GB. That might be a problem if you install a lot of games and the phone doesn't allow to move them to a microSD card. I'm not sure if it allows that or not, so you'll have to check with others.
If you want ROM support, buy Nexus 4 or Xperia ZR. They have PLENTY of ROMs. If you don't care about that so much, you can't go wrong with this phone. You'll also get at least Android 4.3 officially by Sony, if not the next version too.
Hope that helped.

As you can see, XZR is currently still in Low Activity Devices.
I think primarily it's because the fact that it's the 3rd sibling in Xperia Z series.
People are just happy with Z or ZL, or fed up with the releases.
Nevertheless, it offers much features that Z or ZL can't compare with, and that's why I chose it.
ZR is good for smart phone user,
Nexus family is good for rom tester.
yes fellas....
finally considering all the aspects I got it > Xperia ZR...
excited to test it....will do all type of test for what it stands for...
Thanks for your advices

Hi guys.. right now I am about to buy a new phone... SP comes into my consideration and i find it pretty cool and powerful.. Though.. yesterday I found out that there is also P6 in the offer... What would you recommend ? I am probably going for the SP, but P6 has got 4 cores. Does it make that much of a difference ?
Personally i dont know anything about P6. So my recommendation is SP. Go For SP.. But while purchasing pls check one main thing in SP. Touch problem while Charging. U cant use ur phone while Charging.. But new phones doesnot have that problem i think. Any way make sure at the first day of the Purchase...
And also put ur phone in a flat surface and then use it.. That also a famous SP problem.. So pls check both of this two problems first..

galaxy s3 has 4 cores and in benchmark the SP is much better then S3 with 4 cores. Also Xperia sp has 4g (LTE) better battery and Andreno 320 GPU also is best gpu 4 playing games... i think xperia sp is the right choice..
Sorry for english (not my native language)
Its not the ammount of cores that tells you if the performance is high or not. It is the overall feeling of a device.
I've tested both the SP and P6 and I find the SP more suiteble for me.
Reason:
- UI: I dont like the UI of huawei
- GPU: Adreno 320 is very powerfull
- CPU: Cores and speed dont tell everything
Things the SP has:
-Notificatio ledbar
- Bluetooth 4.0
- 4G (LTE)
- NFC
Things the P6 has:
- Wireless charging
- 2GB RAM
Go to the website of sony and huawei and compare the features and specs. Dont use comparison websites because not all the websites have the correct specs.
Also go to a store and try both phones
Has P6 a HDR Camera?

Yes but the SP too
The SP's 2 cores have a higher clock speed and the chipset in general has a superior manufacturer.
Don't think the P6 has 4G either.
The extra RAM on the P6 is useful though - 1 GB of RAM is OK, but Sony steal quite a lot of it for system resources - 2GB means you'd have to be doing insane amounts of multi tasking to ever worry about it.
I suspect there will be much more development on the SP, if you're into custom ROMS.
My reasons for chosing the SP were 4G and familiarity (I like using custom ROMS, know how Sony do things and am used to all the flashing tools etc.) - I also like the fact that not many people have the SP.
please see test of P6! the touchscreen response is very poor, however, the touch screen of the SP responds only in a few situations even bad. mostly is nice.
Thanks guys I am going for the SP... i am sure i wont regret ...thread can be closed
The screen of sp is horrible

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?

I'm on stock 4.3 the upgrade added only about 1-2 thousand more points, not much

what do you think about those low scores from SP? are there diffrent types of xperia sp? :-/
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk 2
Different types with lte or not, but the firmware, kernel and tweaks are special for the score.

In AnTuTu X my score is 34217
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

With 4.1.2 is a great choice, very competitive price on internet than other top product! But with 4.3 is a bad buy

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.
