[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrEcP:
lol - the mindclashing question in the room again ;)

love to read those over and over...

Really funny u even try to compare - since u not just took an ordinary phone but the play as comparison - wich not just is a different OS, differnet hardware (minor), different apps, BUT ALSO HAS THIS LITETLE HARDWARE EXTENSION ;)

To make it short:

Hardware: iPhone better - you will always find something better - the play is 1 year old now...

OS: iOS still more fluid - but idc

Apps: just check the Android Market if u find your favourite ones

Price: 650€ vs 250€ (ok the apple cr*p is always overpriced)

If u love to read numbers for making a choice the above clearly tells you to go the the iPhone ;)

Out of the box experience & paying for each litte peace of software = iPhone

Tweaking, Gaming wiht Hardwarekeys, Emulators, customize your phone,... = Play

But none ever can give you the answer to the better of those - its just a matter of PREFERENCE

And YOU CAN'T compare those. Its like the apple and pear thing- One is round the other missformed - and they taste DIFFERENT.

If you still try - join the enduring war between Pro-Apple and Con-Apple freaks - started ages back with MS and Apple....

Oh and I nearly fogot: u really speak of graphics at phones? (funny joke imho)

But if u really care for that -> get the vita :D

Nor the iPhone neither the PLay will ever have GREAT QUALITLY graphics.... (if u take the same game for both the graphics are even nearly equal)

You really should reconsider the reasons wasting your money - ehm of buying a phone ;)

EDIT: did it ever came to your mind to take your girlies phone and just play around with it? It would really shown you the difference in seconds ;)

Wow why do I waste my time to answer to those threads... MUHAHAHAHAHAHA

sry for the sarcasm
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonshipman:
Xperia Play is only great if you want a gamepad on your phone.

Games tend to get released on iOS first and there is more hardware accessories for the iPhone market.

However, with the Play you also get Android.

It'll also depend how far you are in Apple's ecosystem.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockyneo:
Lol thanks for all your answers and yes I've had a play round with it and yes very nice phone but prob will stick with the iPhone I use to have a Samsung galaxy note which is bricked and in for repair so I'm use to android and a big screen so liked the look of play for both the bigger screen and android but the iPhone is differnent so suppose I was asking what is best graphic wise for gameing and what is the best around phone to have in the long run

Also I've ordered a psp vita so is it worth me swapping my iPhone for play now lol thanks again guys
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage24x:
Best of both worlds, PSVita and an iPhone!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiiKeEp:
In one year Apple will release a new. Iphone and 4s is going to be old, and forget the resolution, compare the size of the screens and other hardware, I'm very happy with my play, I love apple devices (have imac Iphone 3gs, touch 4g) its your decision. :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mael5trom:
i think the play has alot of drawbacks unless ur prepared to root it and change some stuff. out of the box the iphone is faster, has better hardware, can install far more apps...etc etc the list goes on..

in saying that, my play is running at 1.5ghz with the ics beta, it has a 64gb microsd with apps2ext and it has plenty of room for game roms. it has a 3600mah mugen battery which gets it around 3 days battery life average use for a bit of added thickness, the rom is debloated and a joy to use, if an iphone 4s user asked me to swap i'd tell them to jump off a bridge, i freaking love this phone and i hope sony doesnt stuff up the play 2 because i will have alot of trouble moving to another phone down the track.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jazz Like That:
I wonder if it is a good idea to wait for Xperia P than to buy huge Xperia S.

Used Galaxy Ace for over 7 months and now I sold it. Thought to buy an S2 but I just hate that shape. No more samsung!!!

Always wanted to get my hands on Xperia Arc but many other good phones are out there now in the market. Like HTC Sensation XE, Galaxy S2, etc. People will laugh if I buy an arc now. But still arc is taking over my mind because its cost is very low now compared to other phones.

I already have 630$ in my amazon.com account (as gift card balance), but I have to add some $ 80 to it to buy Xperia S and ship it to India.

I prefer Xperia P over Xperia S coz:

Smaller in size (just 4.5mm width difference but I think it matters)

8MP is enough for me

HD screen is not a must (540X960 pixels is fine)

I don't want a HD front Camera (I don't want a front camera at all for another one or two years).

But S is better over P because of 32GB storage, 1.5GHz. Well at least I have to say myself that P costs less.

What I want to do now is buy an arc, use it for 4 or 5 months, then sell it and buy the Xperia P. By the end of april sure P will be released. And after another 2 months its price will also be reduced much, like all sony phones does.

What say, friends? Now should I buy Xperia S or Arc?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
The S supports USB OTG as well, it's in another thread :)

it's your money, I like the S because of the speed, camera, size, and looks.

Ultimately it's what you think about the two, the P has the looks, but the rest isn't doing it for me :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Booomber:
IMO it will be stupid to buy a Arc now only to sell it again in a few months. But that just me. If you have S2 now you have big screen. And after my experince once you got a big screen you never go back. Same with televisions. And besides the arc has nearly the same size screen as the S. So i don't see your logic? Games and pictures and video is so much better on a high resolution big screen. And if you wait for the P alot other mobiles will be released by then, and then you can't decide again. :P

Your argument about front faced camera, well i don't realy undestand it. I doubt i'll ever use my front faced camera other than taking pictures of my self. So nobody says you have to use it and you barley notice it on the S.

Buy the S. It's a great phone just like the Arc was. The Arc was also the flagship and the followers was Neo, Pro and play. The Sony Xperia S is also the flagship the U and P are just limited editions followers.

Buy the flagship. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
Face unlock in ice cream sandwich only works with front facing camera.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kiefels:
So you think the Xperia S is too big but you are thinking of an S II?

I like handsets that i can operate with 1 hand. Its the main reason i walked away from the Galaxy Nexus Prime.

I had the X10 and the Xperia S is 5-10mm taller and a couple of mm wider.

I have no problem driving this animal with 1 hand.

Sony's policy (until now it seems) was to release a flagship model 2010 was the X10, 2011 was the Arc and this year is the 'S' until August anyway. Then they released a mid and lower range handset.

I know that if i got the lesser models i would always wishing i got the flagship instead.

Just my personal feelings and obviously you do as you please.

Just don't make a decision on what you think.

Get down to a mobile phone shop and get your choices in your hands. Your choice would be at least then justified and not on guess work.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I posted some early impression of the Xperia S HERE with some pics of Xperia S against arc.

- If you had any screen bigger than 4.0, Xperia P will be small

- Dual Core 1GHz should be enough but 1.5GHz could help you with some apps later

-There are differences between the two and Xperia S tops it out. I felt in love with Xperia P aluminum unibody and the fact doesn't have flaps for USB connection but once I got the Xperia S I forgot all of those fact.

Xperia S is good built quality phone to the extends that Xperia ARC feels like a little toy in front of it. Flap doesn't bother me at all and made the whole phone experience even better (as far as look)

You could always buy the Xperia S and then sell it whenever you want.

Good luck mate,
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ErichSan:
Flaps don't bother me also, when I'm thinking about using them.

What really bothers me is that, because the Xperia S has these flaps, this probably means that the Smart Dock Acessory that's available for both Xperia P and Xperia Ion does not work or is not supposed to work on Xperia S, which is supposed to be the company's flagship...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abandoned-Trolley:
Yeah i'm slightly confused that Sony haven't made a dock for the S either. What with Ubuntu coming to Android this would have been an awesome accessory. Come home from work, dock the phone in and fire up a full fledged OS and carry on with work on a bigger screen. Obviously we can still do this with the HDMI out and the USB but seems a missed oppertunity.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darth5zaft:
i read somewhere that xperia s would work with livedock.. which is a lot better deal considering it won't go irrelevant once u upgrade your phone..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MJ_QaT:
It does work.. I bought it for Arc long ago and now using it for Xperia S..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kms108:
have you checked out the sony sola.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
The sola is a whole other device with the floating touch thing and not really in the same ballpark even as the S and the P.

It's got only a 5MP camera

1Ghz Dual Core

3.7"

512MB RAM

No secondary camera

Apparently from what i'm reading: No Bravia engine

It does have the Novathor u8500 chipset though?

Sola vs S specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4408&idPhone2=4369

Sola vs P specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4408&idPhone2=4436

I think it's just meant to be a sort of a flagship floating touch phone with that being the main focus.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jazz Like That:
S is the mobile at the moment.

I have ordered it already and may get it in my hands by tomorrow.

Thank you guys for the suggestions.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Neriah:
I just don't know what to get. Help me!

Hello!

What's up? *insert ceiling joke here* :D

I'm going to tell you a funny story.

In January, I ordered the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S but it took so long to arrive and I fell in love with the SXS, so I cancelled!

I was sure to get the SXS but then I saw the P and asked myself 'do I really need a high-end model? As long as it has 1Gb ram it's cool for me. Right?' I got no answer. :cool:

The SXP looks very appealing... Not only for the dock, but for it's built and size...and in red is just stunning :p

I'm getting tired of waiting...and being confuse. I really want to try android... So many cool stuff to do.

I want to hear your opinions.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jazz Like That:
Dude.. Its not at all funny. It completely makes sense.

Frankly I felt the same thing as you. Arc S is a great phone and I always wanted to get it in my hands. But when SXS and SXP were announced I felt it is worth waiting for them.

Also I felt like 'Do I really need a high-end mobile?' (just like you felt). That is why I opened this thread.

SXP is a good one but its not yet launched.

Now if you can't wait to get an android mobile and if you can afford to buy a high end mobile then it is completely worth buying an SXS. Previously I used 'Galaxy Ace' and now am having a great time after getting the SXS. The mobile is simply amazing.

Also do check 'HTC One X'. It is also a high end model and it comes with ICS. But personally I love Sony. Also One X is longer and wider compared to SXS. Hence I went for SXS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Neriah:
Lol in this case it's dudette. :p

I checked out the HTC One X and the One S but, HTC fans please forgive, it's not as beautiful as the SXS. Sony adds that mojo that makes you fall in love. Plus, I know SenseUI is pretty and has lots of tweaks however Sony's simplicity is pure win.

I'm going to wait a bit for the P, to hear about it from people who use it daily. Then I'll decide which to buy. I have to choose wisely, I'll be with one of them for 2 years :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jazz Like That:
+1 to your opinion about HTC and Sony ;)

Hey! If you are going to wait for P to launch then there is nothing big to decide. Like I said previously, if you can afford to buy a high end mobile then SXS would be ideal option to choose. If you feel like high end mobile is not necessary then surely SXP would be the one for you. The point is both are quality mobiles in their range.

Even after the launch of P you cannot get proper opinions comparing them. Both come under different range. I am sure both users will say S is good (its sony's flagship afterall, isn't it?). Like I said, it all comes down to whether you can afford for it or not.

And it would be silly if you buy the S after the release of P because you like S more. I mean the wait would be meaningless, right?

Keep reading the reviews of SXS. I am sure you are doing it now. Also what do you feel about SGSIII?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sikiduck:
I would say that the Xperia P is the smallest brother to Xperia S.

I was also thinking about Xperia P, but I wanted a little bit bigger screen, but with bigger screen, it means bigger phone. It's not very comfy to control the Xperia S with only one hand. I'm a teenager so I don't have big man hands.

And Xperia P was not available in my country at that time, and I desperatly needed a phone, so there was no other choice then Xperia S.

But I think I get used to this big Xperia S phone. It would be even more perfect if it wasn't that tall (tricky to control the phone with only the thumb over the big area of screen).

But if I went for the Xperia P, it would be like my old Xperia X10, with 1GHz processor, 8MP and same screen size, so upgrading wouldnt be that big of a deal, so I just went for something good when I already was buying a new phone in 2012!

Good luck chosing your phone! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jazz Like That:
Same problem for me. Other than that the phone is beautiful, isn't it?

But yeah, I wish it would be a little bit shorter. :|
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I have been using Xperia S for one month now but I still consider Xperia P a chance. The phone itself is not much smaller but screen is .3" smaller and that may hurn anyone already in a bigger screen. Xperia P would be a ideal iPhone replacement for iPhone users while give the same feeling and built quality as iPhone 4/S with bigger screen and Android OS.

I do not like flaps but Xperia S is pretty nice so far. We will see when Xperia P is out and some face to face review and comparison of both hit YouTube. Release should be sometimes in April.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jazz Like That:
Hey Nimche! Am quite surprised to see that you are having a look at 'Xperia P'. I have been seeing you around in many forums and after reading your posts it gives me a feel like you are a high end mobile user only (like going after the flagships)!!! ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Neriah:
If I end up buying the SXS after the wait, I'm going to LMAO. Nevertheless I may get a good deal for it.

I keep watching SXS reviews and SXP hands on. I'm getting crazy with so much information :D

My budget is €500 (more or less 666.7 U.S. dollars). More than enough to buy the SXS here however the question remains "Is what I want what I need?" XD I want turn off my brain.

I think (and hope) the SGS III is going to amazing, just like the SGS II. I don't need quad power just yet. On one hand it's good that they're developing better hardware, on the other hand shouldn't they focus on the software too?

Android is a very nice and playful OS, but it needs more stability.

I went to a store and played a bit with the SXS. It was very fast and responsive (even the buttons). When I compared it's screen with the one on SGS II, I noticed that the colors are more real and pleasant to the eyes on the SXS. I guess I'm not an avid fan of Amoled (it the name right? I don't know... xD).

I agree with you. It's really tall. I wasn't able to pull the notification bar with only one hand.

High end devices could have only 4" and it'd be fine.

May I suggest getting a dummy galaxy w

In the old days, the dummy phones (the ones they use in phone shops) had the exact casing used in real phones. Maybe you can buy one of those galaxy w dummies, and extract whatever you need from it. And they are cheap to get.

In the past, I did replace the whole housing from a dummy phone for my treo 680.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darthbii:
dummy phones now arent made of real phone parts(that's why they're called dummies=non working objects). that's why its now on the cheap. i've seen one of the galaxy w ones before. all buttons do not work and the back couldnt even be taken off(the location of the spare part i am needing) so get your facts right and don't simply take a chance to answer questions with hideous answers.
[HTC Incredible S] TaLEntZ96:
hey all, im currently running virtuous quattro RC3 which is a really nice rom. Looks nice, good Battery life...

question is, is there better? i tried ARHD but the battery life was horrible, any ROMs that really stand out?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Battery life is so 'subjective' to how you use the phone, apps and data that you are going to get answers across the board.

I for one have found that ARHD and the stock 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 ROMs give 'me' excellent battery usage. I can get 2 days out of a single charge, which completely contradicts your experience, doesn't it?

Also CM7 has excellent battery life for my usage pattern, but I prefer the Sense camera app.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Cm7 I have to charge my phone once a day. I generally put it on charge at night before I go bed. But heavy usage will mean I have to charge as soon as I get in from work etc. ..... tbh for ner this is good my iphone needed to be charged in a morning then topped up at night. I havnt done too much with other roms to come up with justified comparisons.
[HTC Incredible S] pec0ra:
If you want a sense 3.5 ROM I'd suggest you Virtuous Affinity, it's very stable and works great
[HTC Incredible S] Optisolator:
It all comes down to preference and usage. Theres no perfect rom for everyone you just have to try and experiment ;)

Personally im using MIUI, smooth, easily customized and battery isn't too bad about a day with: data on all day, heavy on texts, medium on calls and games occasionally.
[HTC Incredible S] skywalker1162:
Based on performance i say the trinity sensation and the ice cold sandwich would be nice but im not too sure about the battery life

I flashed Nik roms once and addicted to his roms since then, beautiful rom with built-in tweaks and excellent performance.

Currently ROM: Nik_IncredibleS_TriNiTy_SensationXL V 4.5 By Nikhil007 a.k.a Nikhil Dhayatkar
[HTC Incredible S] VeixES:
IceColdSandwich 5.5 ROM is the best :)

With minimal usage, battery has lasted 4 days and still on 40%
[HTC Incredible S] hospitalbed:
Agreed. 5.6 now too with working cameras.

Give it a whirl, you won't be dissapointed!
[HTC Incredible S] TaLEntZ96:
thats weird as... coz i left it in my pocket and it was using up about 1% everytime i looked at it which was about every 5 minutes
[HTC Incredible S] TaLEntZ96:
and thanks all for the replies, might have to try icecoldsandwhich, seems to be a hit
[HTC Incredible S] TaLEntZ96:
before i put icecold on, IceColdSandwhich vs Virtuous Quattro?
[HTC Incredible S] madbw:
ARHD 2.2.0 have best battery life for me, more then enough for full day of heavy usage. Usually lasts for 2 days. I cant get even close results with other roms.
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
Ice cold sandwich is my favorite. After using 4.0, I can't go back to 2.3. ICS is just so much nicer looking and better performing IMO.
[HTC Incredible S] TaLEntZ96:
4 days? nice. ye, i ended up flashing Ice Cold 5.6
[HTC Incredible S] Soothsayer.:
Best battery for me was ARHD with Sense elements removed, easily.

Best performing was CM7.1.

Best looking Ice Cold Sandwich 5.6 which I'm currently running now.

Favourite overall is Ice Cold; pretty damn good performance and decent (but not amazing) battery on Tiamat kernel.
[HTC Incredible S] atomiccubez:
i'm waiting CM9 lol:)
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
Ice cold sandwich does pretty good overall. Actually it has some minor things to fix but you need to see before you buy so you're gonna love it.
[HTC Incredible S] TaLEntZ96:
6.6.1 is good. Be good once the ics source code is released
