you will buy another xperia after they fu*k us all with no updates...... man your crazy

samsung gs3

I would go for the SGS III.

Well if you are clumsy i would recommend Xperia S but if you need Quad core (i doubt) just buy SGS III.
But if i would be buying new phone i would go for some HTC

SGS III has 16/32/64gb internal memory,1gb of ram + Android OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich),buy it if you have money!

Is it important how did i send this?

I don't like HTC there build quality is not all that IMO my friend had HTC desire HD and shattered the screen by sitting on it.
And I'm always dropping my phone

SGS III
coz have quad core processor :good:

Even though I absolutely hate Samsung with my heart and passion, get it.
Sony will dump the XPERIA™ S.
It probably won't see anything after Jelly Bean, if it even gets it.

why an htc??

Go for SIII
Like so many top-end phones of this generation, the Sony Xperia S does not let you use memory cards
Also processor is quad core in SIII
Camera has more features in SIII than Xperia S
Also samsung is known for their tough and sturdy design so even if you drop your SIII... I guess their will be no problem

Take the S3, its better supported by samsung and xda.

Also the Galaxy S3 has Corning Gorilla Glass 2, so you can't even scratch the screen

I recommend the Xperia S. It is wsy better in design than sgs3...........only bad point is that it has dual core not quad core..

Do you hate/love your Optimus 2X? why?

Do you hate/love your Optimus 2X? why?I am going to buy a used one

Optimus 2X's RAM wasn't enough for daily use, it cause LAGGY on using, it annoys.
Sri Lanka should had a better model on sale?

I love this phone, but i hate LG for the lack of software update..
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

what did you mean by no software support? no ICS yet? is that the bad software support you people are talking about?

I really love it. I don't care for official GB and ICS. Official roms are crap anyway.
It does what it's supposed to do for me - accept calls, shoot video and photos, browse the net, read books, write emails, write some documents and that's pretty much what I want from a smart phone. I've optimized it so that there is no lag for my daily use. And all this productivity I bought for about $180. How can I not be happy?

Personaly i like the 2X but i was disapointed by the fact that the updates don't want to follow.
No official ics, no functionnal JB....
The milestones are never reached and this mobile seams to be unknowed.
2 years after, the S2 is stil sold everywhere but not the 2X.

2X p990 got the Jellybean 4.1 Cyanogen update recently

A rom that doesn't permit to call is not a rom.
The initial function of a phone is to be able to call, not to pray before each call to be able to hear anything.

i always say my relationship with this phone is love,hate,love
its my 1st android, it has a really cool hardware, bad software support from lg, GREAT DEVELOPERS!!! (this one is the most important thing)
in fact i love my phone the 80% of the time the other 20% i hate it lol

Was happy for it but will probably change once nexus 4 comes out, it gets slow way too fast on any rom

Don't know how you use it, but with propper ROM RAM/Kernel is enough even for some of tegra 3 games, especially for daily use..

For how long did you have yout O2x ? I recon i will never come back to LG like thousands of unhappy costumers, who bought FLAGSHIP phone and got just dumped .. I would wait for Motorolla Nexus, they will be open source.. Wouldn't be nice if you spend 300$ and wait another 2 years for next ROM.. I think android users ain't that stupid to buy "new" model of crappy phone every year (like apple fans do) In my opinion, the best way is to wait for something really nice comming out..

It's a great budget phone, if you can't find a galaxy S2 for the same money then go for it, root it and flash either the gueste or the django manuche roms (try them both) but don't stay with stock (official) rom. Imagine I flashed a new rom the first day i bought my one x and I never regretted it cause it had a huge difference, stock roms suck.

advice ?? Buy it or not to buy it? I was thinking to go for a Xperia sola new one if not the optimus 2X 2nd hand one.
Sola doesn't have a gyroscope and HDMI. But I need 'em

if you want secondary camera, bigger screen and 1080p video go for o2x
i recommend to you to watch a youtube video review about xperia sola to decide and read in xperia sola section here in xda for background and users feedback

My dad actually bought it recently, so I had a chance to play with it a bit. It's a great phone, and it has a great camera.
Only problems I heard you might have with it is that the plastic around the camera tends to crack. Also, I've read somewhere that RAM might be problematic at times. No trouble so far with the unit I tried, though. Compared to some other phones and their problems, however, I'd say you have nothing to worry about

in my opinion "XPERIA P" I absolutely better
1ghz dual core cpu(equals to 2ghz single core processor)
Sony withe magic technology
Sony bravia technology
Perfect design (arc is better in design I think)
Multi touch, up to 4 fingers!
16 gb internal memory
No sdcard but u can attach USB flash disk
Higher resolution
Mali-400 gpu(4 cores)
8 MP cam
1080p @30 fps video recording (awesome quality)
Gets jellybean, but arc won't
I think "p" is around 2 times faster than "arcs"

The characteristics of that phone are golden. But however, look at the battery. Only 1305 mAh. In comparison, our Xperia X8 has 1200 mAh. Taking into account the heavy OS it has, immense amounts of RAM, a monster CPU, and a large screen, I'd say the battery couldn't even last half a day with normal use. I think it isn't even user-removable.
Don't get me wrong, on other things I think the phone is a masterpiece, but you would need about 50% more battery power to handle all that. Reviews on the net seem to concur. Powering a battle tank with an AA battery would be a perfect analogy.

LG O2x vs Sony Xperia P

Hi guys, got offer to exchange my Optimus for Xperia P. Just wanted to know what do you think. I checked many reviews, but still cant decide. Is Xperia P better than Optimus 2x? I usualy use my phone for games, music and calls/text. Can Xperia P handle newer games good? Thanks for any response
EDIT: Noticed I posted in bad section, should be Q&A right? Sorry

Well had both also... O2X performs better... More fun also... And display is miles miles better.

Maybe you forgot that lg optimus 2x was lg flagship and sony xperia p is mid end phone so it is like a ferrari f430 and mercedes c63
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

I have both and I think Xperia P is the correct choose, better camera, better display and official JB support.
Walkman and Album apps are awesome and better call sound than my old optimus 2x.

I'd choose the P too. It will get Jelly Bean, has more RAM, and probably a better camera. I personally like their stock ROMs more too.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

o2x best display better than amoled, good power,camera,vast community support
but also a 3 year old phone, less ram.
p dont hav power like o2x,but gud for daily use.if o2x giving u prob go for p. but if it dont stick with it,still one of the best and after custom ics and few mod to camera app ready to rock again
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

O2x is still better in my opinion.. because is have much more community support like here on xda..

O2x better display?
did you try to read a email with sun light?
Yes, Xperia P's display is not a IPS or AMOLED but It has whitemagic technology (RGBW pattern) and more resolution.
Optimus 2x is more powerful but Xperia P is better for smartphone use (or multimedia use).
I'm not a fanboy but seriously, get the Xperia P, or wait for a new Xperia 2013

Good decision

anything is better than this peice of crap, lack of support from LG with regards to "keeping up with compatibility" and maximizing their phone users experience. NULL AND VOID!.
and to make it worse. the battery time is enough to make you cry. especialy when you wish you saved for a s3 instead. =( but your right i did want to have the 1st dualcore phone =( payed hefty for it 2

2x
Friend has xpera p but not as good as the 2x.
games running better on 2x, stronger hardware, etc.
the sony might has better support but who cares, we have xda :laugh:

I love my o2x,very good hardware and wolfson dac.Only issue is the battery but with help from devs it is ok.

Any feedback

I own a S4 and was thinking about selling it for the xperia z.

i worked with S4 and read lots of review and ...
and i have xz (cause i bought it before S4)
of course S4 is so fast but lots of people report lags as always in samsung smartphones but in launcher level u can use another launcher so it s not matter
S4 has so good camera quality (better optimization than x Z so far)
u can watch youtube about drop tests > S4 will break easily ! But X Z has more durability and of course IP57
but about screen quality
X Z has very good quality (at least in my experience since first firmware till now) and i compared it with noteII, S3 and S4 > X Z has brighter screen
performance of X Z is awesome and i don't see any delay to load home screen after playing FHD 3D games but samsung has lag even on Octa-cores (i don't understand WHY !?)
about design;
X Z has its special design called omni-balance as u know and another special thing for durability
S4 is lite and with 5" it s really comfortable (maybe this design caused to break and crack easily!)
that was my experiences about both device (however u know S4 part )
:good:

I'm happy that I got the Z and I came from S4. Only 2nd day though. The camera lag on the S4 annoyed me. Pictures with the Z snap instantly. Will say more in a few days.

I read it a few times and nope. The Sony Z might have lags elsewhere but the camera has no lag the S4 does.

The only time the camera lags is in the first time u lunch it afterwards it has no lag. Xperia Z.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

The s4 is easier to hold in one hand and also for one hand operations as u may know..whereas the xz has an amazing design and feel..the recent 4.2.2 update improved many things but some minor lags are present in the ui,which we all know will be fixed soon....I would choose the xz forever..
