Hello guys...hope you will help to choose my next smartphone.

I have now Sony Xperia Sola MT27i but as you can see it has very small RAM and that Novathor CPU is also kinda less powerful with that base clock. :( I am looking for something that is good to Gaming/Daily use ... but I like experimenting with other Custom ROMs and this stuff so maybe it should be a little compatible. :good: I have been thinking long time about that new Xperia Z cuz its kinda cheap in our country :silly: and the phone has good hardware specification but if you will help me with choosing the right phone or accept my selection I will be thankfull to you :)
[General Questions and Answers] RoSinner:
Not sure how cheap xperia z is in your country but if you can afford to pay that much i'd personally go for HTC One or wait to see what google releases in May.

Same here!

I have an HTC OneX+ and dont where to upgrade from it! HTC One, Xperia Z, maybe Galaxy S3/S4...

I am quite satisfied with my new and old (i had 2 of them before the HOX+) HTCs, especially the build quality!!! That s why i already exclude the Galaxys, that kind of plastic for that realy high price (here in Hungary), thank you but that s not a deal for me!

So should i stick with my kinda favorite brand, HTC or should go for the Sony Xperia Z?

Or if you have any other suggestion, let me know!

Yes Comment

PS: HTC One isn't yet released here in Hungary, but i beleive it will be prised like the Xperia Z
[General Questions and Answers] nikufellow:
^^^^ Go for one if you don't care about ip57 certification of Z moreover snapdragon 600 being more powerful makes htc one a bit more future proof . Most importantly coming from htc's stable , you'll feel right at home with the ONE !

[General Questions and Answers] Oriann:
Well thanks for advise, but somebody here also tells me to save a few bucks for a Xperia ZL so last question is of course what do you think about this smartphone ? :confused: I dont see much differences within these two phones and another thing is that in my country(Czech Republic) will be no release of this phone so I must get it on some black market or something like that :laugh:

And about that HTC One ..what specific type do you recommend to me ? :cowboy:

Sorry for that many questions but I it will be my second phone and I dont want to buy a piece of crap :laugh: My first was Xperia sola and everybody said that I had very nice choice of my first smartphone. :) Because I am buying ALWAYS ! the best phones :good: I dont spend too much time seeing how much it costs.. just the phone must be quick and compatible with some custom ROMs and must have some nice sound music effect and quality cuz I am idiot who is listening music everyday and everytime :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] nikufellow:
Well the fact is you can't be wrong going for either of the two smartphones - z or one. But if one is affordable I'd really go with it for it is seemingly more future proof compared to Z due to snapdragon 600 under its hood plus awesome looks (z ain't bad either) and better low light performance.
[General Questions and Answers] Oriann:
Many thanks man....I'll choose xperia Z then... It was my first opinion so again I wasn't been wrong..

Thanks again...next time when I will be buying my third smartphone I will try to find you guys :good:

Have nice day :)
[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
Here's what I think of the One, for what it's worth :)
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Comparing Z and ZL, I actually think Z > ZL (no IP57 certification in ZL, 2MP secondary cam in ZL compared to 2.2 in Z, just 40mAh more)

So IMO Z seems a better buy than ZL.

HTC One seems a better buy than both because

But before you go for it, have a look at the camera quality too.

HERE

Though you might find it good enough for general shooting like HERE

I'd say the same for you. If the image quality suffices your needs, wait for the One, else Z is the next best option since you are not a fan of plastic :p

Though do you really need to switch from a One X+, I mean what does it lack? :p

Also you both can give a glance at LG Optimus G Pro too.

It packs a punch as well!
[General Questions and Answers] Oriann:
Yeah I see you are a bit difficult to phone specifications as I am :D but thanks for your advise ...but my friend has the same phone as you and every bad thing as you described in your thread has he the same...for my its very nice that HTC have very big display but I hear from somebody that it is very bad with compatibility on google play/store with their apps ... some dont work and some are not build for a such a phone as this so I am still holding my first word I said... I will rather buy that xperia z ...btw if HTC will raise up compatibility with more apps I will be thinking again :(

Star N9500

Hello I want to get a phone to develop on as well as use as my daily driver. I currently have a Samsung I9000 but it is not holding its own anymore. I have been looking at the Star N9500 which looks like a nice phone and has the horse power that I am looking for for development as well as using as my daily phone. My question is has any one used this phone? What is the quality like, Camera, Battery life, ect. I know that you get what you pay for but are these Chinese phones any good? Also what would be the radiation coming of these phones as compared to the Samsung's or LG's of the mainstream world. Thank you.

Suggestions for 2x10 inch tegra 3 tablets.

Hello.

Glad i found the thread for this question, i would probably be flamed from here to eternity for asking it in a separate thread.

So i am looking for a tab that my 2 kids will use as a backseat entertainment system in the car as well as a good quality tablet for games and movies outside the car.

First i was almost 100% certain that i would get 2 Nexus 7 for this job as the community around those are huge and the improvements done on the roms are massive. But when i started to look at other 10" tablets i noticed that for a bit more money i could get a Tegra 3 tablet with the larger screen.

Here starts my frustration!

I am willing to shell out additional money for a larger tablet but i really want to select the best one in that segment.

I will list the ones i have looked at and also the actual best price i have found here in Norway.

Whats important is that they can play games and do movie playback well, it's also important that i can connect a gamepad to the device such as a PS3 controller or something for emulated games. I really want to have a all-in-1 device :)

The listing price for the Nexus 7 is 307$ right now

They are all Tegra 3 as i think that will be the best CPU for gaming.

1. Acer Iconia A210

1280x800 & 16GB

340$

2. ASUS MeMo Pad ME301T

1280x800 & 16GB

408$

3. Acer Iconia A700

1920x1200 & 32GB

477$

4. Toshiba AT300SE

1280x800 & 16GB

460$

5. Asus Transformer Pad TF300T

1280x800 & 32GB

460$

Those are the ones i have looked at these last few days, performance looks kinda similar.

Developer support is not great for all of them and that could be a important thing to consider.

All suggestions are welcomed, also please let me know if i have missed a tablet that should be considered.

And i am aware that they cost a good deal more here in Norway than for example US, but shipping and tax kills the savings...

Thanks for the help
[General Questions and Answers] Zandeer:
I don't know how old your kids are, but if it is truly for them I would think of sticking with a 7 or 8 inch tablet.

Kids drop things all the time.

Kids are small and a smaller device is easier for them to handle

if they do drop/break it a 7 inch will be cheaper to replace

But hey, that is just one mans opinion.
[General Questions and Answers] molcos:
Oldest is 8.5, the other soon to be 7.

Yea the smartest choice would probably be a nexus 7.

I had a Kindle fire 7 before that was pretty neat, a bit underpowered and some games did not work though.

But apart from the "smart" and adult choices...any suggestions to the 10" tegras?
[General Questions and Answers] -DarkKnight-:
Transformer infinity?

I would really suggest the nexus 10, but it doesn't have a tegra, it has a much more powerful exynos

I'M BATMAN
[General Questions and Answers] molcos:
Totally agree on the Nexus 10, but it's stupidly expensive here in Norway.

The TF700T looks to be an awesome choice though, a bit more than what i planned on using but its an awesome tablet.

It's really good that there is support for the tablet here as well with lots of roms.

Still not decided though and might go with a lower tier tablet.

My dads old blackberry curve 8310(?) has lots of features and the battery lasts forever but its not very tough. I would like something which can take a few drops, maybe even waterproof. In your opinion what would be the most reliable and best emergency phone?
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Imo an Xperia go + a car charger should be good.

Else a good old nokia can withstand anything and can run pretty much for a week.

The nokia music express was a launch years back, since then I lost track.
[General Questions and Answers] PHAROSngm:
doesn't the Xperia have a touch screen? That could break. I already have a smart phone (htc ruby) with car charger, what I want is something more rugged with a long battery so if I went camping/hiking I wouldn't have to keep running back to the car to recharge. I was thinking the xp3300 but thats really expensive especially after shipping. I only have a budget of about $250 =/

HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy SIII?

Well, this moment the opinions are:

HTC One X -> 1

Samsung Galaxy S3 -> 3

I've searched, and the opinions are different all around.

Some say the One X has better screen and camera, others say not, the One X has major issues...

I've read that S3 has battery issues, and so on...

Still complicated...

Any more opinions here?

Thanks guys... :good:;)
[General Questions and Answers] racinghammock:
Thanks KidCarter93 :)

I'll probably go for the XPS then. HTC One S just looks a little bit too dull and there's more pro's on the XPS's side.
[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
The One X does have a better quality screen but the camera is about the same as the S3.

Also, there's no issues regarding battery in the S3 that I know of.

New phone

My current phone is Samsung galaxy s plus, and i have been really happy with this. Well first steps where bit of laggy, but after getting into world of custom roms everything has been really great. Now Im thinking (surprise) Galaxy s3 or HTC one X. Something else is legit too. Or should i wait for the next new phones?
[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
The One X is a good phone and was the best until the S3 came around, but yeah I'd recommend the S3.

As mentioned above, I'd suggest the S3 because even though the One X is a good phone, it only really beats the S3 with the quality of the screen.

There's no point waiting for newer phones though because I reckon it will be quite a while before today's phones will be classed as rubbish.

Hi, its been awhile ever since i visit this forum.

So pardon me for my lack of knowledge of all these geeky tech stuffs.

I'm currently in military service, so i would like to get a decent phone with noncam.

Any recommendations? (I thought of Huawei but taking other options or opinions isn't bad too

1. Would a 1.2ghz dual core or a 1.4ghz single core would be faster?

(I not a hardcore gamer on my phone, just tweeting, Facebook, browser, whatsapp, youtube, play some game. I rarely use my phone at home, if i ever do so, i'll use wifi instead.) -> this is for 2. and 3. respectively.

2. I know Ram is for multitasking but what does the CPU does? Would having more ram > cpu or cpu > ram?

3. Would you pick having 2gb to 3gb of 4G mobile data plan for a person who uses it like me? (money slightly does matters in term of mobile plan)

Yes, that's pretty much!

[General Questions and Answers] Wermut:
I'm looking for a tablet but am having a hard time with deciding.

I'll primarily be using it for web browsing and streaming internet content onto the TV, so I suppose I'm looking for a wifi-enabled tablet with HDMI out.

So far, my thoughts are between the Acer Iconia Tabs and the Asus Transformers... but I'm also considering the Motorola Xoom and Toshiba Thrive.

I'm not looking for the top of the line, and having massive amounts of internal memory isn't critical - I don't mind a lower capacity to keep the costs under $400. I also love modding my Nexus S with custom roms, so I would like for the tablet to have an active dev community on XDA.

Thoughts? Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
I myself use an L9 and I'm very happy with it. If you're into rooting and flashing ROMs, this has official Cm10.1. Although for the Indian version you will need to flash the European Stock to make it P760 and then flash CM. I don't take many pictures so the 5MP with flash is good enough for me. The phone is very light weight and is good to hold on the hand.

Processor is decent and it plays GTA 3 well, Asphalt 7 does lag. But you can't expect too much from a 1GHz Dual core now can you?
