i decided two model can u please tell me which one i choose

1. XOLO Q 1000

2. Xperia L

i am big confuse in both of them coz xperia has a brand name but xolo configuration is looks better against xperia L

i also see in xda forum here is no thread of xolo then one more question here is xolo have custom rom or not i thik if xolo not in xda forum then no custom rom i think ???

can u please suggest which one i buy

thanks everyone in advance
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
I really think you should go with the xperia l.

It's pretty awesomely specced. As you said brands name but moreover it will have better service to keep that name. You can't be sure Lava giving you proper services.

Also it'll most probably get xda support due to the great chipset.
[General Questions and Answers] jayc137:
Xolo devices are great, saying this from personal experience but if you want xda support then Xperia L is a no brainer

[General Questions and Answers] Strike_Riku:
Okay for my next phone I really want a specs upgrade. A lot of older phones have similar specs as I have now, so I don't want to buy that.

I do not mind if they are from the Ice Age, as long as the specs are better. So I need...

4+ inch screen

480x854+ resolution (has to be bigger)

1+GB RAM

5+ mega pixel camera

VGA+ Front facing camera

Jelly Bean with some more official updates.

Dev Support

Forum on XDA

Budget of £200, $300, Rs.17000 or €235 (translated so everyone can help :D)

[General Questions and Answers] timonoj:
Hi all,

I need a bit of help in deciding for a phone...I had it a bit undecided, but my Galaxy S2 just died on me, and I'm forced to buy something immediately :(

I'd need a phone that has the following:

-Removable SD card, mandatory. I use a 32GB and I'd like to expand to anything I like anytime I want.

-Removable battery, pretty important. With current battery time/life, I"d like to be able to swap a battery in a Jiffy.

-High specs preferable, 2GB RAM, powerful higher end processor.

-I'd very much like it to have proper AOSP support. Which kind of screws the two main candidates for the previous options, Note 2 and Galaxy S4 (crappy Exynos support)

What do you think? DO I have any proper alternative, or will I have to swallow some of my options?

THanks a lot!
[General Questions and Answers] mhoss48:
Why dont u buy the 9505 s4 it has the snapdragon 600 and i think will get AOSP
[General Questions and Answers] SS4Luck:
If you were on Verizon and looking between the S4 or the Note 2 which would you end up with and why?
[General Questions and Answers] timonoj:
Hm...That could be an option, provided it had enough of a community. I believe it's only going to be released in the US, while the rest of the world will get the 9500, ergo Exynos version.

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

I´m not sure this question is going for me. I'm not on Verizon, nor I know how the service/coverage goes for each provider in the US. Just hardware alone, the S4 is supposed to be faster/more powerful, while people claim the battery on the Note 2 lasts longer. Then, Note 2 has bigger screen size while keeping at 720p, and the S4 has 1080p. So there's that.

[General Questions and Answers] mhoss48:
Yes it rlly does the SoC in the SP is frickin fast.
[General Questions and Answers] i9100g user:
Note 2 might be better for multitasking(quad core + 2gb ram) but all in all gpu and Krait cores are

better on SP.

So unless you crave for a bigger screen or an extra GB of ram or a monster battery ,Xperia SP would be better option (also note 2 has better DAC ).
[General Questions and Answers] Phenziox:
As far as my knowledge goes there's just the i9505 here, no i9500. I guess we can get 3g on i9505...
[General Questions and Answers] Shahan_mik3:
Why not Google it out if u have any doubt :)

1. exynos performance is not as good as krait core wise

2.quad core can be good for multi tasking but actual speed is compared on single core basis

3.Mali 400mp is old and can't be beat new adreno 320

4.1gig ram is actually enough
[General Questions and Answers] bob13bob:
Of course , price has a big influence here. In the US , the n4 is significantly cheaper than the s4 and it's a newer phone
[General Questions and Answers] Celtic67:
Hi all, I'm looking at replacing my Xperia Neo V and have a few options. Any advice would be gratefully received. I'm in the UK, don't mind what network, don't need 4G, happy to use cashback deals to bring cost down. I'm looking at around £20 to £25 and I'm not a heavy user of minutes, texts or data.

The phones I've seen in my price range that I'm comparing are:

Xperia SP

Nexus 4

Galaxy S3

HTC One

The deal on the One has less minutes, etc, but I think I could cope.

I'd like to be able to root it, which has put me off the SP a little, though I expect that'll happen soon. I currently use a 16GB card to hold all of my MP3s and could probably cope with a 16GB Nexus 4, though a card slot would be better.

Other than that, better battery life would be good, I expect all of them perform well, but are any standouts as being better than the others? I do tend the use the camera quite often, though not for printing images, so a decent camera would be a bonus, not essential.

[General Questions and Answers] sai69:
What's a better deal/swap. L9 for xperia ion or l9 for htc one x?
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
It's a tough call.

But the nvidia Tegra is a step above the s3 snapdragon.

So my vote goes to the one x.

But if memory is of importance to you go for the ion coz the performance won't be worth sacrificing the storage.

My friend doesn't want to ask so I will ask for him.

He wants a phone with:

HD 4+ inch screen (720x????)

1GB RAM

Jelly Bean

(I would like it to have a Forum on here so I can convince him to join.)

He has £250; $376; €292; Rs. 21000. But that is only if it is brand new. He doesn't mind used because he wants to pay less than his budget (£150, $225; €175; Rs.12600) if it's used.

Also, it's not necessary, but he likes on screen buttons. But he doesn't mind if it doesn't have it.

Thanks for helping me help him out :D

Xperia S?

You really need to give a budget. S3, Note 2, S4. Anything.
[General Questions and Answers] android07:
Please help me choose a phone.

After a lot of research and reading several reviews I have shortlisted Sony Xperia L and Galaxy Grand. I am more interested in the Xperia L because of its unique looks, better ppi and TimeScape, new processor with better architechture. But the fact that it cannot playback Full HD videos (please tell me it can) is kinda bothering me.

I wanted to know whether it would be a good idea to choose Xperia L over Galaxy Grand knowing that its confirmed that Galaxy Grand can playback Full HD videos. Would you suggest to buy the Galaxy Grand because it fits in my budget even if it has a older processor and a not GPU that isn't very popular.

Also, is there any possibility that the Xperia L might play Full HD videos with upcoming software updates or any third party apps?

Lastly, I read that it has a Locked Boot Loader. Does this mean that I won't be able to install ROMS onto this device?

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Sony comes locked bootloader usually.

But you can definitely expect MUCH MORE support for it than the Grand due to Grand's Broadcomm chipset.

And i find it hard to believe that an S4 wouldn't run HD videos. If not the default player, MX should easily do that without having to root.

Can you post a link where you read so?

Also everything aside, IMO, definitely go for the Xperia L.

Two reviewers (one on youtube and other on a online shopping site) said that it can capture and play HD but cannot playback Full HD. Its not officially mentioned that the device cannot play Full HD videos but neither is it said that it can... not even on the official site ( sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-l/specifications/#tabs )

Please lemme know if you have confirmed whether it can play Full HD vids.

help.....mtk6589

SO I SAW THIS MTK6589 quad core and powervr544 android 5 inch and was wondering whether to get the 1080p or 720p version. Will the 720p outperform the 1080p in gaming? also will the 720p watch 1080p videos smoothly? and what of the gpu(powervr 544) ,how does it compare to the others e.g adreno 225,adreno 320, tegra 3 and mali 400 mp4(galaxy s3)...

help am coming from a galaxy mini so this is a big upgrade>>focus on gaming...the ram for both phones is 1gb ram...
[General Questions and Answers] Shahan_mik3:
1.1080p will be an overkill...I will suggest 720p it will consume less battery also and yes u can watch 1080p videos smoothly

2.what do you mean by can 720 outperform 1080 in gaming???:what::what::confused:

3.the processor your talking about is same as in micromax canvas HD and many low mid end quadcores

Hence graphic performance is OK ...

Benchmarks

36-40fps nenamark 2(my stock kernel s2 provides 52fps and custom kernel 59.8 Mali 400mp)

11-12k antutu

I hope it helped u :cool::beer:
[General Questions and Answers] Mbariah:
thanks...i meant that the 1080p screen will require more of the gpu unlike the 720p...like in PC gaming where the lower the resolution the better the fps...and another thing...whats the difference btwn this powervr 544 and the one in the galaxy s4?

What are the known issues/current bugs for it with CM10? I didn't find any listing of them on the CM10 thread for this device here on xda huawei g301
[General Questions and Answers] koman90:
There is not that much of a noticeable difference be 720p and 1080p HD

720p was the first generation resolution to be dubbed "high definition" and thus is lower resolution and therefore most devices will render it faster than 1080p.

Not sure how it relates to 3D gaming but I can speculate that overall 720p is less GPU intensive than 1080p and will therefore render at a quicker "frame rate".

Also in relation to GPUs they would likely put a more powerful GPU in a phone with a 1080p screen than one with a 720p screen. :rolleyes:

Hope this helps

Want to leave the dark side!

Hello everyone,

I have been using an iPhone since the 3Gs, and am approaching the end of my contract. I have jailbroken every phone that I have had. I am over the iPhone, and have come to realize that the community behind Android devices is far superior. So with that, its time to get an Android device, and learn to root, etc. The phones i am looking at are the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4. Ill list out a few of the things i really use my phone for, and any suggestions would be appreciated!

-Epocrates - the faster this runs the better

-Viper SmartStart

-Texting - I text all day every day, and a lot of the texts have pictures or videos.

-Bluetooth audio (pandora) to my car stereo

-XBMC

So with those uses in mind, coupled with using a ton of battery each day, would the GS4 or HTC One be better?

Thanks!

Gionee Dream D1 Vs Xolo Q800 Lenovo P77 | Help Decide

Hey Guys,

I used Motorola Defy for almost 2 years. Switched to Lumia 520 one month back but now want to switch back to Android because of basic missing features in windows phone 8.

My budget is very low. So i chose these phone Xolo Q800 Vs Gionee Dream D1 VS Lenovo p770

Dream D1 is = Xolo Q800 with a little build quality and Super Amoled screen.

Lenovo i perfer because atleast it has service center in India. After sales service would be a pain for Xolo and Ginoee and a little for Lenovo too.

Gionee Dream D1 = 16k INR

Lenovo P770 = 12.5k INR

Xolo Q800 = 11k INR

Spec Wise : Dream D1 > Q800 > P770

Lenovo has GPS connection problem. Dream D1 has inbuilt battery plus i have heard it crashes a lot from one source over the net.

I do a little but of gaming, Web surfing , a lot of texting and love to root.

Any suggestion guys ? Or some other phone that you find is good.
