Sgs2 screen is a disaster. Not only resolution. Colors are fake.

Samsung faster? Look at the screen resolution.

And that awful UI in Samsung.

If you watch movies or surf the web then forget sgs2

P.S.

The reason why there is so many samsung services is crapy quality
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ray3andrei:
Its really painful really, the browser on the Xperia s is awful extremely laggy, the scrolling in general is awful, not the say that the UI is completely **** even compared to gs2.... I mean you can't disagree, with the browser thing for me that's a game changer

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ray3andrei:
Do you actually have a Sony xperia s.... because if you surf the web, its absolutely awful, and crappy quality are you serious ? The Sony feels like a cheap empty plastic on top of that its heavy and the capacitive buttons are unresponsive,

Awful UI on the Samsung I completely disagree.. but whatever the screen is indeed better because of the 720p display and its a lot brighter..

-removable battery(i can change it if i want)

i prefer sony for:

-led notification

-gps

-camera

-design

-display

They have improved alot the browser in ICS. Once XS got ICS it will kick the little ass of GN ;-)

Faster u said.

Why do i need an V12 engine in an Peugeot 106?

If the car is gonna break in half when you drive...?

Dont care! Also they had 1000 care centers. Its still Samsung. Trust me dude, I got much experience with Samsung. Really much.

Its about the Service.

Its not more service center is better service.

Why more? Because Samsung is very cheap. Everyone got it, its just bang for the buck.

But Sony is quality, I am not an fanboy or something. Those are facts, everyone knows this..

It really takes alot to convert a video file. So I was happy if I just through 10gb file to my phone n play it ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fimae:
Samsung is better at least in: it got better amoled display, mass storage mode, no cover on usb connector, better battery life.

XperiaS wins on processor speed, camera button, hdmi connector and internal memory size.

I dont know why anyone says this got good display? If i compare it to my 2 years old amoled desire, desire have better colous, better angles and lower power consumption.

XperiaS wins only on screen size, automatic dimming by lightning sensor is also simple disaster on xperias.

I have used to on mass storage mode on phones at least ten years, so this pc companion connection is something between bad joke and suicide "no phone detected, please restart phone...".

Display element is main reason (imho) to lousiest ever battery life on this device.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doministry:
Just a few comments:

1. Mass storage is still available, just images don't have any thumbnails, however you can work with the files the same way. I agree though it should be available like before, and root should be visible.

2. I have no idea what is it about the screen. But both SGS II and Desire look like **** compared to X S which has exactly more real, not oversaturated colours. Samsung is the most plastic looking screen I've seen.

So we have some extremely different perceptions here.

3. Honestly .73 firmware for X S really fixes battery woes.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sl_hasl:
I had Samsung S2, amoled display is very nice but oversaturated colors. But still is a great phone.

Xperia S has a better screen size, brighter display and more powerful processor.

For the battery life, compare my S2 & my college Xperia S, almost the same.

I like both phone, so i'm buying it for my wife.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
Sorry but. People who thinks amoled is great, they have problem with theyre eyes.

Please go to an doctor.

Or they dont know what quality is.

People think much color means better.

If they would make and test between the screens. Xperia woukd throw an nuclear at the samsung.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] anthon:
Xperia S Screen has better sharpness and colours, but amoled is better for using the phone in the dark (I've to run a screen filter app for using the xperia in my bed, my eyes get gazzled with white backgrounds like the one of this forum)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jerwaz:
I can't agree with that.

I had a galaxy S2. And in the dark, the Xperia S win. Because we can set the brightness in a very low level. Even if the white are more white.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] milton.bain:
Use power control and dim your brightness... It even sets the device to auto brightness

Xperis jajajaja chep
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
For me the xperia s far out guns the galaxy s. The display eats up the Samsung's especially during video playback. It's faster and it's internals are built superbly. This phone latches on to my WiFi in less than 3 seconds. Ridiculous when compared to anything else I have used. Insanely fast and never drops the connection which if I'm honest was the case even with the X10.

The camera is superb and the TV launcher just seals the deal. Controlling your whole phone and not just pictures and videos like all other droids with Tv connectivity is truly remarkable. You can even connect game pads to the thing with the right docking station.

The galaxy s gained a phenomenal reputation last year because it's specs and performance far surpassed all its rivals.

As such until the galaxy s3 is launched, the community will find it had to move past a phone which they venerated to such a level and so they keep comparing it with newer phones favorably. The galaxy s2 is now yesterday's man and the coming months will bear that out. If you want to get a phone now, make sure you get something new especially if your going on say perhaps a two year contact.

It by no means has to be the xperia s if you have issues with it. Check out HTC or wait for the S3. That's if specs be your game.

For me the xperia has a lot more features to offer the mainstream user.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mqandeel:
I owned SGS2 for 4 months before getting xperia s, the xperia is way better, the screen is much better and brighter, except it's less sensitive, and xperia is much faster. Forget about the benchmarks, i tried many games and all were much faster on the xperia than the SGS2.

Then you will like the Sony trademark much more than the sammsung, you will feel confident that your phone will get long support, not like a company that releases a new model every week.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krabappel2548:
I also prefer the Sony Xperia S :D

Great screen, is perfect to hold in my hand and capacitive buttons work perfectly if you get used to it :)

And Sony Android interface is way better then the ugly Samsung interface on Android 2.3 ;)

And don't be lame and say custom roms are better on GS2, the Xperia S is a brand new phone, that's why there are no custom roms yet..

But I'm sure there will come graet roms for the Xperia S in the next 2 months :D

I know that SXS have better screen resolution, NFC Tag, better camera, and and and.

but not quality, many complaints against the yellow spots (or change in color) in the screen, also mobile body is very weak against falling.

they both are great phones in their way samsung was best android handset 2011 xperia s is good but has issues as well some units has yellow tint. capasitive buttons useless wieving angle not good compere to oled and ips and its too long plus they have released with s3 could be better s4 cos it released same time with one s .other hand samsung feels cheap oversaturated ui not nice try to copy i phone. but in terms they both have good and bad. companies never make perfect phones than they wont sell any next year. imagine with xperia s if they put capasitive buttons like to xperia p than make screen 4.5 white magic 2500 mah battery put 3.2 mp front camera 13 mpx whitemagic camera s4 proccesor would you upgrade for couple years no its strategy by companies
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
The Galaxy S2 is a piece of crap. My buddy had one and cracked the screen within two weeks. Samsung can only design a good phone if someone dictates what the design like the Google Nexus.

Drop tests are stupid because on most of the ones you see the Galaxy S2 doing it ends up flat on the front or back. Most phones wont survive a fall hitting it on the edge.

I dropped my Xperia s 3 feet onto carpet (hard, thin industrial carpet) and nothing happened at all. It all depends on how it falls. Also Samsung S2 gets to be 1 billion degrees when it heats up.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] a4rocks:
You seem to have really read the reviews pretty thoroughly. I am no fanboy and I actually have the luxury of being objective in terms of gadget selection. I gave my dad a Galaxy S III even before I had a smartphone. I liked it because it kinda had everything going for it except the design. Then I bought myself an Arc S and thought it would never be able to compete with the S II. I was so wrong. I realised spec sheets paint only half the picture. Better music quality, better screen (super AMOLED's colour rendition is just plain ugly) and ICS used to run so smooth I forgot it had a single core processor only.

Same goes for the Xperia S. Colour tint is a manufacturing defect for some and its sad that quite a lot of people actually got it. I haven't and the latest phones seem to have solved it. The capacitive buttons are only a matter of adaptiveness and I quite like the concept. Regarding angle, I am betting that unless you want to, no one tilts their phone and then use the screen. Also people seem to be raving a lot about ICS. While only some people know what ICS is all about, the majority don't care and are only complaining because it's something not there for the stats :p

At the end of the day it's a subjective thing though. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and I quite frankly am in love with my Xperia S

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It depends on what you want really. The XPS has more raw computational power and is generally a bit better spec-wise. The SGS on the other hand has an AMOLED screen and a maybe slightly better sound codec. Yellow tint is not an issue, it fixed itself in a little more than a month for me (the yellow tint is from the glue they used to connect display parts, so it will just dry out in time). The capacitive buttons need some time to get used to, swiping upwards from the transparent bar is probably the easiest way to hit those. Or flash AOKP and enable the navbar like the GNex.

I have choose SXS because SGS2 will be discontinue soon.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
S2 strengths over XS

- screen contrast and viewing angles

- easier to use face buttons

- more powerful chipset

- light weight and thinner

- removable battery

- superior accessory market

- power button placed in a more convenient location

XS strengths over S2

- sharper screen with accurate colors

- charges much faster

- more appealing design

- camera button

- since it is a newer phone it has more chances of getting future updates

- better audio quality

Thats about the most unbiased comparison I could have done. :)

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi guys, pretty urgent help needed here.

I'm on holiday at the moment so desperately need my phone to do anything and to contact my friends on the island at another hotel!!

I was using it as usual this morning, and then the next time I tried to turn it on I get nothing. So I pulled the battery and upon reset I get the boot animation (Rocket rom 23) and then a black screen until the battery is pulled.

I still had the zip file on the internal sd so I installed it through recovery. No success.

I've tried wiping the data and the system and installing onto a blank phone but still no success.

Starting to panic a little here, any help would be greatly appreciated.I have wifi access and a netbook if that helps?

Did you make a GB backup?

I know it's not possible to revert to your old GB backup when using any ICS ROM but I was able to restore my stock GB backup through CWM while using RocketROM (took me five tries though).. Try it, nothing bad will happen.

If you don't wanna try and can download some files then I recommend you to just put your phone in download mode and flash a stock rootable firmware through PC Odin.

I went to buy Galaxy Note today..I watched

OMG!! its huge..Doesn't even fit on my pocket..

My friend laughed like hell when I tried to

imitate a phone call scenario.. Its was

awkward .

The shopkeeper also said its too big .

Then he showed me the Sony Xperia S..

Gosh the screen was awesome..

I check out the Galaxy S2 too..

I liked the WVGA screen of the S2 but its

nowhere near Xperia S.

But the viewing angle was really bad on the

Xperia S.

N I didn't like the design too..Too much extra

space at the bottom. N 10mm thick too..

S2 was thin n comfortable to hold..

What I liked about Xperia S

-720p screen(but viewing angle is so bad)

-NFC tag

-Free standard hdmi cable

- 12 mp camera( i checked it n its awesome)

-PS store

-TV launcher

What I don't like about Xperia S

-Design

-Capacitative button is not responsive

-CPU n GPU is weaker than S2( according to

most techsites)

-Too thick..

Is the galaxy S2 screen resolution really that bad compared to Xperia S.. ??

I have a Galaxy S now n I want to upgrade screen wise as well

WVGA vs 720p..

Please help me choose.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Xperia S cpu/gpu is very old for a phone releasing now...

When Snapdragon 4 is out, sony is now with a snapdragon 3

And their is not much development for xperia S....(only one custom kernel and no cm7/9 yet)

You are from india so you will get i9100G(so you can't flash any roms here and i9100G have a different processor and GPU from i9100 international model)

Best choice is HTC one x which is much better than both xperia s and sgs2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kristion:
the choice is obvious as long as Sony comes in the near future with the ICS upgrade. Just by comparing the two and taking in consideration just the resolution and overall hardware capabilities i'd go with the xperias. The S2 is still rocking, but let's not forget, a year has passed and there are other devices out there with better hardware.

And about the Note, I'd trade my S2 at any time for that beast of a screen, I've also played with it yesterday in an orange shop and I give you credit, it's big, but that's what the majority said about the S2 :).

The resolution is important, for today's standards WVGA is obsolete, 720p is the standard now with a minimum of 4.7'' diagonal. I'd advise you to wait a little bit 'till the S3 is launched, who knows, maybe it will knock down the competition, or not :). Also the HTC One X is an option, have you considered it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackmax32:
No I didn't consider the One X..

HTC very poor at availability in India. Its available in the metro cities but not in Shillong, India.

So you think I should get the Xperia then.??

My friend also said Xperia is better for him if he had to choose one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Xperia is not better...

One x or you are wasting your money..

Xperia S is already a year old by its CPU/GPU In india for galaxy s2 you will get i9100G(No roms to flash here and weaker CPU/GPU then i9100 the international model)

HTC one x is the only best option..
