I'm feeling like you right now. I was thinking about buying the Xperia S but...after seeing what a conservative brand like HTC have shown and reading the rumours about the SGSIII(quadcore, 1080p, 12mpx cam, polycarbonate or ceramic unibody design,...) and other stuff that we don't know yet, like what Eldar Murtazin have said:

Huawey. A.I. Technology reduce up to 50% of power consumption. Sounds good. But thats regular thing for this generation (same in sgs3/one x)

Samsung galaxy s3 will be launch at the same time in different countries. Sales rate will be much higher than for sgs2. May

Sgs3 is a real flagship for android. Samsung have some protos here in barcelona

SLCD2 on htc one x looks good and on par with superamoled. But it isnt comparable with next gen of samsung displays. Slcd2 is really good

I have to say that most "flagship" smartphones will have a really short lifecycle. Except some special models

Santosh Savanur ‏ @santoshsavanur @eldarmurtazin Anything interesting for sgs2 owners to upgrade to sgs3 other than the usual bump in specs??

Eldar Murtazin ‏ @eldarmurtazin

@santoshsavanur a lot

I think SONY is far behind from what Samsung is going to show...not just the little gap between the Xperia ARC and SGSII but much bigger.
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Just like unknown13x,Eldar Murtazin is a insider in Samsung and have also rumored sgs2 will get ics on 1st march,lets see how accurate he is...
[XPERIA X10 General] prewed:
1080p for 4.8-inch screen, this is stupid, even for a 7-inch screen it is not necessary. Consumes more energy and CPU / GPU resources and the human eye can not see the advantages. Also crazy CPU speed, for what they are on the phone (in 2012 ), who can explain to me?
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
Just want to let you guys know that Sony were prepared, and they knew very well what they were getting themselves into. It's not that they did not know that the new handsets would be quad-core. I've gotten emails from them about preparing to battle against quad-core devices.

Regarding Hayabusa, I won't be saying anything right now, but the prices that leaked earlier, don't forget that the market value would fall by the time it retails, so compare that to the S in specs, and you should be able to guess what's in store. So if you like the S, get it, you're not missing much I guarantee. Yes, Mint exists, and is a phone, but same thing, won't be saying anything about it. Also, they're both international devices :)

I know a lot of you are disappointed and stuff, but it's not as if I did not say what's going to be announced, and you guys knew it was coming. In the end it's your decisions to select the handset that's right for you. For me, I've been happy with the X10 for the past 2 years, and I see no need for dual or even quad-cores really (Bought an arc, the package got lost...FML) ...Like what Nvidia's CEO said, "It'll get to the point where it's just good enough" Then the rest would be just marketing gimmicks. I'm sure you've seen alot of that last year already, but then I'm not here to force anyone's decisions or thoughts, but just passing on information that would be helpful to your decisions :)

Fire off any other questions if any, anything other than future devices :p
[XPERIA X10 General] THeLogiC:
I will get a choice if choosing a new smartphone if I score well in 12th standard(which i guess I will in may lol).

I will go for xperia U or xperia P.

anyways does anyone know about if there will notification LED like our beloved x10??

I love that so much.
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:

[XPERIA X10 General] Moomany:
The P seems to have a notification light, next to the ear piece of all places :p

[XPERIA X10 General] THeLogiC:
ofcourse lol

gujarat....
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
@unknown

I agree with you. Not everyone needs quad core.

And well I'm happy with x10 too, though I might have liked the arc

The design and os of Sony still beats others
[XPERIA X10 General] championswimmer:
Studying science??

Anyways best of luck for tomorrow... I'm in same grade as yours

You own an x10??
[XPERIA X10 General] THeLogiC:
yeah maths group ..

best of luckk to you too..:)

I have exams starting from monday..5th
[XPERIA X10 General] vivftp:
So when will I be able to pick up my Crystal LED phone? :D

... kidding! heh
[XPERIA X10 General] Cholek3:
I still would like to know, if S supports USB OTG.:) Very important to me.
[XPERIA X10 General] karun11:
@unknown13x

I had sent you a pm with the very same doubt which you cleared in your last post here. Thanks!

I'd just like your opinion on what Sony's strategy is. Try and grab maximum market share by catering to the burgeoning mid end while saving the high end face off for later, when it has got a better standing? :)
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
Yes it will :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Cholek3:
Thank you very much for that, my friend.:) You just made my day.

Sony Mobile exec: Quad-core smartphones in early 2013

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13970_...ile-exec-quad-core-smartphones-in-early-2013/
[XPERIA X10 General] kurk_droog:
Why cant they keep the SE logo on the back for their mobile phones? :mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] ballubas:
@unknown13x

Any info on "mint" for us? Specs, os , etc...?
[XPERIA X10 General] milton.bain:
What an irony.... Unknown13x actually KNOWS everything!

Thank you mate.
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
Wow, first time I heard from them using the Cortex A15! Thanks for the news! Even my colleague doesn't know about it LOL

Android :D
[XPERIA X10 General] karun11:
Mint will have S4. It's unlikely Sony will have a quad core this year.

But why the logo? :mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
""We're going to join quad-core when we feel that the performance matches the battery efficiency," he said. "Because right now we don't feel that is there. What we are going to be doing in the second half of the year is moving to the Cortex A15 architecture, which we feel outperforms the current quad-core architecture." <<< is interesting...
[XPERIA X10 General] khayjason:
Since Mint will be using Cortex A15 or S4, should we wait for Mint? At first, you said there won't be much difference between S and other upcoming devices.. But right now Sony Mobile says they will be using A15.. That's a lot better than U8500 and MSM8260!! >_< I don't want to spend my money on the S then when Mint comes up.. I'm gonna regret..!
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
hold on mate... we dont know for sure if "Mint" will be the one sporting Cortex A15...
[XPERIA X10 General] SEFanX10i:
I don't understand why you guys want a Cortex A9 Quad Core as opposed to a Cortex A15 dual core :confused:

Already a 1001 posts here saying " Oh! Sony wont have a quad core phone this year" Why does it even matter ? Just because HTC and LG have released one ? Well those QUAD CORE devices will be "outdated" very soon and will get their b**t kicked by Cortex A15 dual core devices.
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Guys I don't want to spam any thread or make another thread, but is there someone that knows if there is already a working XPERIA S home + maybe some widgets available for the x10 2.3.3?? (I don't want to switch ROM!!)
[XPERIA X10 General] Cholek3:
I have got another one, if you don't mind.:)

Xperia S, transparent strip. We know it lits, when screen is on, but by default is not used, as notification. Is it controlled by hardware or software? If it is controlled by software, correct me if I am wrong, but in theory we could change it to notification light, right? Either by some application or mod. Do you know if that's possible at all?
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
Generally the kernel provides an interface (sysfs) to control the hardware e.g.: on ARC/X10 we can control LED notification/ button backlight/ led flash... So its more of a software implementation...
[XPERIA X10 General] Yardglass:
Would be cool to have the lights going as a sort of equaliser while listening to music. Would be even better if you could control the three lights (I think it's three?) individually!
[XPERIA X10 General] :
LT29i nenamark points at S4 chipset (Note Adreno 225)

http://nena.se/nenamark/view?version=2&device_id=1589
[XPERIA X10 General] LORELAI89:
I would love to see Sony using st-ericsson u9600 in Q4.On the other hand,they're maybe using ti omap 5.Both are expected in Q4 '12 or Q1 '13.The performance difference is huge when you are comparing snapdragon s3,with snapdragon s4/cortex-a15,and if you are going to be using the phone for 2 years,you definitely want to pick the more future proof product.Still i believe that the xperia s is a top class device,and its launch price is the right one.Let me remind you that xperia neo when launched started at almost 500euros.
[XPERIA X10 General] :
It takes a really long time to change to a new plattform! The developers have to be educated again! Pretty sure you will see Qualcomm or STE now that they are using both.
[XPERIA X10 General] Cholek3:
Hmm... Is that possible that Mint and Hayabusa are tablet and Play 2? 1196x720 resolution is strange.
[XPERIA X10 General] negrobembon:
Omg, awesome phone indeed
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
wow, and people say htc designs are ugly. That thing looks like a spaceship.

I like how industrial their designs are, they don't looks flimsy and plasticy
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Maybe its just me, but that thing looks like a pillow ate a crapload of silver and solidified (from the back)

The front looks pretty good
[XPERIA X10 General] azrull:
Looks - Nozomi better than Zeta.

Performance - Zeta better than Nozomi.

:P
[XPERIA X10 General] josephnero:
and havent you noticed its 100% fake?i saw this yesterday and at first glance i knew it was a concept.look at camera sides.

ps:iam making a 12core 6.5ghz phone with 4inch 1080 screen and Aderno 650.40MP camera with super full HD recording and 12MP front cam.

also check this:best concept phone:
[XPERIA X10 General] josephnero:
i love sony.i just love it.i hope it finds its way to states
[XPERIA X10 General] josephnero:
How about SE Aoba?Right in my hands in SE R&D site in Redshores California.

PS:Sorry sony i could not hold your secret.LMAO
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
Nice Casio Exilim camera you have there :rolleyes: Just a question to stir the community. What IF LT26i is NOT Nozomi? ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
Whatever it is, it is a nice looking phone.

This web page named it NOTOMI

http://igxpro.net/2011/11/09/sony-xperia-notomi-leaked/1811449
[XPERIA X10 General] ballubas:
then we´ll just have to start another thread about it then:D
[XPERIA X10 General] josephnero:
Wow.that was quick.pics taken by lt28at were uploaded to web.do yo think that might be Aoba?camera was 8mp though.not 12
[XPERIA X10 General] josephnero:
Here they are

http://www.androidguys.com/2011/11/...tted-on-picasa-taking-pictures-in-the-office/
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
The LT28AT could be an AT&T exclusive LTE phone. Bert Nordberg recently announced that SE or now Sony will focus on the US market in the near future. An AT&T LTE phone would make sense. Or the T could stand for T-Mobile. Who knows?
[XPERIA X10 General] josephnero:
It would be awesome if they focused on US market.most SE phones never reach here
[XPERIA X10 General] negrobembon:
Man, i wish the x3 existed lol
[XPERIA X10 General] josephnero:
So do I.
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
If the LT26i is mid range than what will the Nozomi be like?

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony...be-the-Nozomi-but-a-mid-range-handset_id23853
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
LOL I could only laugh after I let out the rumor that LT26i is not Nozomi then someone took my post and re-rumored it. You can tell he doesn't know what he's talking about since he doesn't even know what the naming convention is. Arc and Neo has the same specs, but you wouldn't call the Neo a high-end device would you? ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Mazgalin:
thats a nice phone :-) but the more that i modify my x10 i sa to myself that im a stupid to not buying myself an iphone.
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
Based on this

http://www.sonyericsson.com/5761/UAProf/LT26iR601.xml

The LT26i will use a Cortex A8 processor. That means it will be a first generation dual core like the MSM8260. Why is SE doing this??:confused::confused::confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Denie46:
I highly doubt since Sony /Ericsson/ stated early this year that Xperia S is not their flagship, that means that one of the devices, launched in H2 will be a smartphone for sure and therefore the chances of releasing Play 2 are very low I think....
[XPERIA X10 General] Cholek3:
Any source on that, please? I cannot recall such thing. Besides, this site claims something else:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2012/01/10/announcing-our-new-flagship-smartphone-the-xperia-s/
[XPERIA X10 General] wing_zero8556:
Ics! Awesome, but yeah weird resolution missing like 84 pixels
[XPERIA X10 General] a.monteiro:
there are a few, DonutHD, VMCMS and X10S.

The last one is based on wolfbreak's work and is my favorite.
[XPERIA X10 General] SEFanX10i:
For those hoping that Hayabusa is Play 2, I would suggest you wait until next year. There will be no Play 2 this year. There was a Play 2 under development by Sony Ericsson but it was cancelled after Sony took over.

Hayabusa and mint are both just Xperia smartphones neither is a specialized gaming phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
very interesting... thats definitely S4 chip! most probably dual-core...

ICS on-screen buttons!

if i remember correctly even Galaxy Nexus had similar resolution...
[XPERIA X10 General] Cholek3:
You are correct.:)

That basically proves, Hayabusa is not having capacitive buttons as such, more like on-creen buttons, like Nexus.
[XPERIA X10 General] karun11:
So is it safe to assume that these devices will be powered by:

Hayabusa - S4

Mint - S4 Pro
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
I'm sorry but have you read my post? You're answering something totally diffrent then I asked. (Beside that, thanks for your reply) I ported by myself alot of things from XPERIA S. Including phone and timescape.
[XPERIA X10 General] Denie46:
Sadly I can not confirm that but in January as I can remember they released a message sayng: "Xperia S and Xperia Ion are not our flagships". Off course this could be fake but still I think that the rumored devices won't be anything but smartphones.
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
Makes it even harder to decide...

The Xperia P would host the nt chipset which should be the first phone to do so, while the hayabusa would have the s4...which should I get? Considering the fact that my X10 screen is cracked as well...
[XPERIA X10 General] a.monteiro:
sorry, maybe i was sleepy but i swear that i thought you were asking for a xperia S ROM, not home. lol :o

you probably have found it by now, but some devs are posting xperia s ports at the Themes forum.
[XPERIA X10 General] Denie46:
Are there any chances of putting quad-core S4 into the devices in H2 this year :D :D
[XPERIA X10 General] a.monteiro:
Just looked at a leaked picture of Xperia 'pepper' at Android Central, it's a mid range device like Xperia P but with a small design change, it doesn't have the transparent bar!
[XPERIA X10 General] xcxa23:
Sony Xperia sola introduces Floating Touch navigation

http://www.slashgear.com/sony-xperia-sola-introduces-floating-touch-navigation-13218039/

floating touch? interesting
[XPERIA X10 General] nielneal:
here is the xperia sola....viz the floatingtouch technology....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vESG...DvjVQa1PpcFOs6k-Op-h4zGWSB07eW_Emie4y2B33_QI=

i wish why cant sony jus put every feature in jus one mobile.....this lets me think that hayabusa or the mint i will b the one who wud b having every osm technolgy of sony viz whitemagic display,floating touch,colour transparent bar wch change colour,3d surround sound like in xperia u.....fast charging capabilty of xperia s well as dust proof

i wish every one of this feature are included in one high end phone with s4 snapdragon...waiting for that big one....:-)
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
that seems to be MT27 (Pepper)
[XPERIA X10 General] nielneal:
yup right bro...its tat only....

http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/03/13/sony-xperia-sola-officially-announced-aka-mt27i-pepper/
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
That touch is also their for SGS2 in CM9

We can just adjust the touch settings like how powerful the touch should be... eg: 10,20,30,40,50,etc

I have attached the apk if u could see what value is changed to make touch like that on other devices

But sometimes that touch is also annoying

In the apk their are several other settings options also but that need changes implemented while building the rom from source...
[XPERIA X10 General] cikomiko:
i just don´t get sonys´reasoning behind this new product management.

they should combine all their new technologies on one device, the flagship.

but i guess they want to give exclusive features to all of their devices, so each can get some buyers.

anyways, i´ll wait till hayabusa and mint.
[XPERIA X10 General] milton.bain:

[XPERIA X10 General] deveron3:
Ugh! When will they release the Xperia ion...? :(
[XPERIA X10 General] SillyMoose607:
Sony did say by Q2 of this year. Hopefully, it's not one of those delayed things... :( Apparently, it was also announced that the phone is now shipping globally as opposed to an AT&T exclusive here in the good ol' U.S of A.
[XPERIA X10 General] okokies:
i totally agree with you. It's their flagship phone! their premium! Shouldn't it have all the best features and be the one phone everyone wants and if they cant afford it they can made a lower specs version for other consumers.

i dont understand. Guess that's one of the reason apple is leading the market

i just hope the mint looks good, and has all the things i want, especially a micro sd card slot

come on SONY
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
Hey guys just wanted to keep u updated...

The xperia S release, here in India, was pushed back by Sony to mid April... I was able to get my hands on a grey market handset and tested it out... It was **** laggy and design, feel in hand was really disappointing...

Also just today (2nd April), HTC officially announced and launched the One X and One S here in India!!!! I checked out the HTC One X and was really impressed... Awesome device, so light (just like the Arc) and brilliant screen, feel of device.... So I bought it :)

For those confused between Xperia S and One X I highly recommend that u check out both devices in hand before ordering it online...
[XPERIA X10 General] cikomiko:
I did test the sxs at cebit (small booth).

It felt really nice and responsive, but I was bored of it very fast.

the outdated hardware is really a downer for me.

you have the tegra3 version, right?
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
yes tegra3
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
That's really disappointing hearing it from you & strange also, I mean **** laggy & bad design? Haven't heard anything like that about Xperia S before, This isn't the right place but may I ask how's the camera on One X?
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
yups... the GB on Xperia S is really laggy... regarding design, my first reaction when i saw the leaked images here was "it looks like a brick" (check out my initial posts in this thread)... and after using device in hand it wasnt very convincing, especially for a person who has used the awesome ARC... Xperia S is heavy, bulky and lots of space is wasted on that "transparent strip"... they could have better utilized that space by reducing overall size or using a larger screen...

camera is above average... not the best... but then i have the ARC with me and if that doesnt work my 18MP DSLR is sufficient :p
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Hmm

As I said:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] stanzzzzz:
Sony xperia is out in Australia yesaasa it's with Optus:-) can't wait :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] blakwhite:
Sh$£ laggy? Err, either the Xperia S you tested was buggy or the one I'm using right now is a special version. It's been 2 weeks and I never experienced any lagginess, not in the least. Actually, it's very fast. There are too many videos on the net regarding the matter.

Well, as for design, it's different strokes for different folks, as I find Sony S very stylish and minimalistic and htc X very bulky and the same with every model.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
well regarding lag, i use the Xperia Arc (@1.6 Ghz) regularly and have used the SGS2... so coming from those devices the Xperia S was laggy... i was expecting much better response from the software and hardware, but was disappointed...

as for design, u are absolutely correct, everyone has their own preferences...
[XPERIA X10 General] shathru:
NOT HAPPY!!!

No matter how many new releases Sony does... Sony is always slow.. Fed up of using Sony's product
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
well as for design our tastes differ greatly, I find the Xperia S pretty stylish & actually I think Arc is the weird-looking one, specially in hand

And abouut it being **** laggy I'm pretty sure Doom's exaggerating, I'm sure it'll rock with CM9

Anyways the camera is one of my highest priorities & I don't want to always have another phone or a camera with me for taking photos, & considering the price Xperia S will have when HTC ONE X or any new Samsung(Don't like Samsung phones anyway) arrives here I still find the Xperia S to be a better choice

That being said the only major bummer is it being released with gb, so that means ICS will be the last thing it'll see officially?
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
u r right abt design...

abt camera, yes Xperia S has a much better camera and anyone wanting to get a good device with awesome camera Xperia S is the best android out there...

Sony released a blog post saying that ICS will be released by June (mid-end)...
[XPERIA X10 General] ramhead:
My bro is gonna buy smartphone so we are looking new xperias.

which one better Arc S or xperia U. I know arc S have bigger screen and better camera, but xperia U is newer and gets updates, but there is no sdcard slot(right?).

What xperia you recommend?. Our budget is about 350euros.
[XPERIA X10 General] Felimenta97:
350 euros for each phone or for both?

Look at Xperia P too. I would go on the Xperia U or P. But if you want a bigger screen, pickup Arc S.
[XPERIA X10 General] ramhead:
oh sory for bad english :D. I meaned that bro is going to buy new one. And budget is 350euros.

There at Finland xperia P is 470 € and xperia U is 300 € So I think we go to xperia U or Xperia arc S is 341 €

So what you think is best deal?
[XPERIA X10 General] Felimenta97:
Does he have a preference for something? Processor, screen size, gimmicks, etc?

But I would go o U
[XPERIA X10 General] ramhead:
Not really, both screens are ok for him. Processor on both are ok he wants to play minecraft and angry birds. Specially he wants xperia play if we can find it here.

So its arc s or xperia U until we find xperia play. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Felimenta97:
Go for Xperia U, then... The transparent strip with many colors is awesome. I just wish Xperia S had this hahaha.
[XPERIA X10 General] karun11:
the thing is that U only has 4gb storage for your stuff. 4gig is way too less
[XPERIA X10 General] Felimenta97:
I think it's for System + apps and the rest for user. And I am pretty sure it have a MicroSD slot.
[XPERIA X10 General] a.monteiro:
it does? Xperia S doesn't have one for sure, i thought the rest of the line would follow.
[XPERIA X10 General] Felimenta97:
1 GB for user would be just too less... Sony would be stupid as hell if they release it without...
