Adreno 220 is better than Mali-400MP. And everything is better in the Xperia S, the resolution, the camera, the hardware and so on.
[General Questions and Answers] zexl455:
hello guys, i'm in a dillema right now.

what i can get:

Nokia lumia 710

SG ace 2

Htc windows phone 8s

Htc desire x

Sony xperia go

Sony xperia miro

SG mini 2

Nokia lumia 800

Motorola motolux

Lg optimus l9

From all of these phones i listed, the one i like the most is desire x, but im not sure if thats a good idea since it has a adreno 203 gpu, and i also tend to play a couple of games from time to time. Is the performance of the adreno 203 really that bad?

Out of all of these phones, which one would you suggest?

Thanks in advance :)

You should narrow that list down. There are two much devices there.
[General Questions and Answers] zexl455:
Narrowed down :

Sg ace 2

Desire x

Lg l9

Design wise, i find the desire x much better than the other two.

But performance wise, adreno 203 vs mali and sgx+more ram...

Is the adreno really that bad compared to the other two?

[General Questions and Answers] K3n H1mur4:
Hi there, I'm about to get some cash from my former employer, and I'm looking for two devices: first one is a nice Android phone, HD screen, at least 16GB internal storage, at least an dual-core Snapdragon S4 (I really don't care about dual or quad-core, but it HAS to be a Cortex-A15 phone, so I can keep it for the next 2 years or something close to this) and, of course, at least 1GB of RAM. The other device I want is an Android tablet with the best cost/benefit one can get, with at least a 1.2 GHz dual-core CPU (can be cortex-A9, in this case), HD screen, 1GB of RAM, 16GB+ internal memory. Other useful information:

1 - No need for memory card slot on neither device, but it would be nice;

2 - For the tablet, I'm OK with chinese-branded, given it's not a complete crap;

3 - Also for the tablet, no need for 3G capabilities - it would be nice, but I rather have a lower price than 3G;

4 - For the phone, no need for LTE support. Here in Brazil we still don't have 4G cover in most places, and even 3G is crappy, so I'm ok with the latter;

5 - Both devices MUST have a nice community support, here in XDA or in other forums (I'm aware of the great chinese tablet support given on SlateDroid, i.e.).

For now, the best options I came were Nexus 4 (I'm absolutely in love with this phone since it launched, so I might be blind for other options - plus, it's kinda impossible to get it through Play Store and people selling this on eBay are asking absurdly high prices) and Ainol Fire (this I can get for around US$130 and both Ainol itself and the community seem to be giving nice support for it). Anyone has better suggestions? I'm limited to around US$700 on budget for both devices, and getting them brand new would be very important (though I can live with an used unit), so take these points in consideration for your suggestions. Thanks in advance!

[General Questions and Answers] NHS2008:
I would get LG L9. Better res, more ram, better gpu has NFC, Larger IPS display RECORDS 1080p compared t Desire Xs 480p!

Ace 2 is out if question. Also consider Galaxy S3 mini or advance if you want samsung.
[General Questions and Answers] zexl455:
The only thing I dislike with the L9 is it's huge screen size and basically almost no custom roms for it. I definetly don't want to be stuck with the stock rom.

I read somewhere that Desire x's specs are good enough for 720p recording, but htc decided to disable it and that it is just a software issue. Is it possible that desirex users may get 720p recording with custom roms?
[General Questions and Answers] rockhopperpenguin:
Are you willing to wait for it (with the possibility that it never happens)? I'd go for the L9 better specs, you'll have to learn to live with the bigger screen (never been a bad thing for me personally). If you can live without (none at all available?) custom rom is an answer you can only answer yourself.

Sensation, hands down.

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

Oh and if removable battery and SD Card slot matters to you, go for S2. It's been on your list since the beginning and I seriously recommend you go for it then. Xperia S is awesome, but for many, the above points do matter. Do also note that XS has pointy edges, so they may hurt. It has a flimsy back cover, so it MAY cause problems. I always use cases so it isn't a problem for me.

Good luck and see you in XS forums soon, if you buy it. :D

Galaxy grand isn't that great. I got myself to Croma and tested XS there. That's why I could tell you this stuff. When you're on a low budget, its hard to choose. :/

[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
I'd suggest the HTC One S as the mobile.

(But only if the 1.5Ghz S4 Snapdragon version is available, DO NOT get the S3 Snapdragon)

As for the tablet, isn't Nexus 7 obvious? :p

Also just IMO, a used device will never give the feel of a new device.. :)

Get a new!
[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

One more thing!

I seriously suggest you try out the XS somewhere, as a huge number of people hate the capacative buttons. They say they can hardly get it to respond. I had absolutely no problem using them, and you can get used to them in a couple hours. So do that, else you'll regret it. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:

V imo
[General Questions and Answers] K3n H1mur4:
I don't think I'm going for the One S. I know it's almost an One X in a smaller package, but I can't stand for the PenTile matrix on the display, and I'm looking for something with a really sharp screen (no need for Full HD, obviously, but at least 720p). I've read reviews about the One S, and they criticized the screen: One can clearly see the PenTile, considering the screen dpi, and this is not nice. I strongly considered Razr HD, but, as always, Motorola's crappy job delays some things, people are having trouble with camera and LTE signal in CM10 and 10.1, i.e.

About getting a N7, it would be a great option, except for one thing: I'm going to buy both devices, probably, via eBay (may ask for a friend who's living in Canada for the next year to get me one from Play Store and send it, don't know for sure), and most of the phone options (my priority is the phone, you see) won't fit within my $700 budget if I get the N7, but will do fit if I get an Ainol Fire or something like this. Since I really don't need a tablet now (though I actually need to change my phone, my 2 years old Defy is struggling for life - for example: its battery, though brand new [changed it 2 times, the last one because the service center I left my phone for a simple MicroUSB change ****ed up the old batt], barely lasts a day with a very light use - dies in less than 2-3 hours with heavy use), I'm OK with a not-so-good device.

Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

You're getting ION for 22k on eBay. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT buy it. The capacative buttons didn't respond at all when I used them at Croma. Good phone, crap buttons. :/

But the good thing in XS is that it has the software navigation keys ready to use in stock ICS firmware. So if you want that, then....

Also, XS's camera has a less FOV (Field of view) than S2. Not much of a thing for me, but I thought I would point it out. It's also said that the camera on CM10 is WAY better than Stock.

Finally, its your choice. I myself found the S2 a bit wide for my hands. XS already has a 4.2.1 alpha build. Damn, I want it right now. :/

Heck, I've gone into so much detail, even I'm surprised. Cause I love this phone. :D

Else my purchase was a no brainer.. XD

I'm very firm now on buying the S2 because except for the 2year old tag I don't see no downsides.

Epic development, JB almost here, and top notch specs :good:

Even XS rocks it but it has some battery drain issues which are obvious because of the HD screen.. :p

Also SGS2 can be equipped with a chargable case while the XS can't :D

[General Questions and Answers] Al Gore:
need advice

I'm looking to replace my 8 year old Nokia and I just fell in love with Xperia Z/ZL when I saw it several weeks ago. Anything else to consider? I used to want Galaxy S 3 but Xperia seems to be better in everything judging by specs. Nexus 4 could be a good option but it's not available where I live.

I definitely won't be getting an iPhone - I already have an iPod touch so I'd rather get an Android phone so I can have the best from both OS.

So should I get an expensive new xperia (it's going to cost around $700-$900 here) and use it for 4-5 years or should I get a cheaper phone and then upgrade to another cheaper phone in a couple of years?

How are Sony/Android phones overall? Do they age fast? Is it safe to buy them soon after their releases or do they get some hardware fixes several months later?

So right now I'm choosing between splashing the cash on Xperia Z when it comes out or ordering a Nexus 4 from German Google Play via a friend. It would cost $500.
[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

If you want looks, Xperia Z. For long lasting, nexus devices last a long time. Look at the nexus one. Still runs well. Xperia Z also has awesome specs so that would last long as well. It's close, but I would say go for the Xperia.

I have an HTC Sensation and my son has the HTC 4g Slide. They both have dual core 1.2 Ghz. CPU and 1GB RAM. The screen resolution is a bit less on the slide 480x800 instead of 540x960 so the slide should be a bit faster for game play since it doesn't have to refresh as many pixels.

He got the slide for game play that's why he went for the keyboard phone. He loves it and he's always playing something on it. I don't know how you can play serious games without the keyboard so I'd recommend the HTC 4G Slide. They're affordable on ebay as well, I think we paid $180 for a new one.
