Xperia T vs TX vs V

Hi ,

Recently i saw that xperia T and TX are available in the Indian ebay site. I was 100% sure of getting the xperia T but then i saw the issues of the paint peeling off which really made me unsure of what to do. I could just get the TX to avoid this and i'm not sure when the xperia V will be available. Upcoming xperia Z is beyond my budget ( I've got sour grapes syndrome for nexus 4 )

Like i mentioned because i will be getting the xperia T off ebay ( i do get the bill and 6 months warranty)so i'm not sure Sony will respond to my qualms of the paint peeling. On the other hand the seller has mentioned for the TX that warranty will not cover any sony update issue. So should i go for the xperia TX instead or just try get my hands on an xperia V?

The main things i'm looking for are :

- Better screen ( i'm guessing all the 3 have the same)

- Better Battery

- Better community / dev support for roms and issues.

The T and TX are priced at around 28- 29000 INR ( ~ 520 US$)

Regards,

Rishi

I would appreciate some advice.

What would you recommend : Nexus 10 or Windows 8 Tablet [the Intel Atom ones] like the ATIV 500T/ ACER W510, etc. ??

I hope you can help me out a bit.

Hello

For gaming would you recommend the Galaxy S3, the Sony Xperia Z or waiting until MWC to see if any new phones with faster processors get revealed?

In the UK we do not yet have the Optimus G

For me what matters is decent battery life, GPU peformance, 32GB minimum storage (or 8GB + Micro SD), an HD screen and android 4.1 minimum.

Thank you in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] NHS2008:
I would get the Xperia Z!! What a stunner!! SIII is not the top dog anymore! many devices have surpassed it. The Krait is exceptionally better than Exynos and Z has Adreno 320!! which will blow away the Ageing Mali MP4.

If you can wait, it will only give you greater choice.
[General Questions and Answers] Jaken326:
OK Thanks, I was wondering if it was waiting. I was just concerned the Xperia Z might be slower with the 1080P screen.

But I guess waiting for the MWC 2013 is no big deal and at least if I don't want one of the new phones the Galaxy S3 will be a lot cheaper.
[General Questions and Answers] NHS2008:
Why would Xperia Z be slow??? current gen Gpus can handle 1080p fine and then Adreno 320 is far superior to all of them.

you should be just fine! But yeah. best bet is to wait!:good:

Hey guise. I want a new phone.

What is a phone that...

* Somewhat new. Anything within the last 2 years?

* Has an LCD screen. The amoleds I've owned had burn in by a year and I can't take it anymore.

* Has a removable battery. You know, in case I ever decided I need to put a new one in there without having to disassemble the whole thing.

* Has an SD card slot. All my music and nandroids and ti backups are stored on a little 32gb card.

* Is GSM. A must.

* Has somewhat active android development. To soothe my inner flashaholic... Or at the very least, a cyanogenmod build=\

* Comes in unlocked

I've been looking around but couldn't really find anything that suits all of the above.

What tablet do you suggest to buy? I'm looking for a cheap one, for home, so a 10'' screen it's okay. I'm not thinking in install roms, or run heavy games or apps, it's just for my parents (checking email and using facebook mainly) so i don't need a powerful device. Thanks guys :).

Please Suggest an Android device

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if you could help me? I have the Sony Xperia Ray and I've had it for a while now I want something more powerful. I can only run android 2.3.4 on this device as it lags big time on android 4.0. What I'm looking for is a phone that is the same size but must have the following features:

Screen size up to 4.0" (I need something that's a similar size to the Ray, I did have the HTC Desire before but felt it was too big)

Supports External Memory

8 mega pixel Camera (1080p video)

Dual Core

1gb Ram

Front Facing Camera

Android 4.0+

Good Screen Resolution

The only device I can find is the Sony Xperia SX which I feel is a bit over priced at £450 (ebay china). My budget is around £350. I've had a look at the following but they don't meet the above criteria:

Samsung Galaxy 3 Mini (Poor Camera)

Sony Xperia P (No external storage only 13gb usable)

Htc Desire X (Low Quality Screen)

I don't mind buying from anywhere in the world aslong as it works with UK Networks :)

I've been searching for 6 months+ and still cannot find anything
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Look at these once and shortlist further

LG Optimus L9

Galaxy S2

Xperia S

HTC One S

Nexus 4 (If you can get hands on one -_-)
[General Questions and Answers] desi112:
Thanks for the reply:

LG Optimus L9 ( Screen too big 4.7" massive)

Galaxy S2 (4.3" too big)

Xperia S (4.3" too big)

Htc One S (4.3" too big)

Nexus 4 (4.7" too big)

Sorry but I did visit many stores and when I I hold the Sony Xperia Ray to anyone of the above phones they just feel too big..I want something that easily fits in my pocket and does not weight me down.....I know I have to sacrifice something either external storage or screen size :(

IMO just because of 0.3' larger screen giving up on a great device isn't right.

You'd eventually get used to the larger screen (Better gaming multitouch, movies on a larger screen, larger keyboard) :p

Hello xda developers, I am looking to buy a new phone

Upgrading from iPhone 2G (I know) as the hardware is finally crapping out, so I'll probably be impressed with anything

Looking for a smartphone that will play games decently, and has good quality audio output. Not an apple fanboy by any means, when I bought my phone I had barely even heard of android.

Price will be an important deciding factor, I'm about to head to university so I need to save what I can. However as it's likely I won't upgrade until my phone dies, I don't mind paying for quality

So far the options I have looked at are;

Nexus 4. Overpriced in my country (New Zealand) so possibly import?

One X+. Bit pricey, but seems great build and specs

Galaxy S3. Seems to be outdated, although I probably won't notice

any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

Htc One S

Not too pricey, pumps out great raw power to play or do anything! :thumbup:

Also with the money you save get a pair of beats headphones to match the beats output on it.

[General Questions and Answers] jugg1es:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

S3 certainly isn't outdated, has factory unlocked bootloader, sd card slot, great dev support and will probably continue to have in the future. Htc is good build quality but locked bootloader. N4 would be good. But has no sd slot, fixed battery. If it was me is go for n4 or s3, it would probably be the s3 though for the sdcard and battery for me,

[General Questions and Answers] fluentcoroner:
interesting. Tell me, does the beats audio improve quality even when you're not using a pair of beats?

does unlocked bootloader mean i can load undoctored android to it? I prefer the look of the pure jelly bean to the samsung interface

what are the pros and cons of both the s3 and the N4? especially in terms of durability and battery life
[General Questions and Answers] dronepod:
AFAIK samsung s3 ruled out n4 in battery life, but for durability and boot loader i would prefer n4..vanilla android wins over touchwiz i suppose

other great phones have no sdcard and implant battery anyway..so n4 would be a go for me

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

I currently have a Droid charge for tye last year and have finally got it rooted a few months ago. That KS go out to all the cool guys at chargeforums.com.

I am due to get a new phone in October, and am looking for advice on models which will be available at that time. I'm mostly looking for what new technology will be out there in October. Quad core phones seem inevitable. I'm sure there will be good deals on the SGS3 as well, so I'm wondering if anybody has some cool Intel for me.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] fluentcoroner:
just looked into it, doesn't seem that hard to get stock android or very similar on the S3, so I guess thats not a huge difference. Now I'm torn between the N4 and the S3, the cheap price of the N4 is very attractive indeed compared to even second hand S3's (going for about $600 in my country) but it's pretty close considering the replaceable battery and additional storage on the not on the N4. Gah decisions :(
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
If you are from India, avoid Motorola coz the company has shutdown it's operations here. Service centres still work but risking INR 35000 will be a doozy.

Instead go for a Note 2 (If you are comfortable with the size) or you can also check out the One X+

None of them will ever even take a hiccup.. :good:

Oppo Find 5

I have 500 $ budget and I'm going to buy my new device in China!
[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

Okay, I've gone back and I need some help again.

Budget: $365 or 20KINR. It can increase to 22K / $400 tops.

Preferred company - Samsung, Sony, HTC.

Requirements:

1GHz Dual Core

Good GPU

Good and new processor with above

5MP Camera minimum. With flash.

4.0+ or atleast upgradable to 4.0+.

Less than 4.6".

Good Dev support. (CM10)

A few things:

I'm trying to get an S2 and I know it will be recommended.

No nexus phones, never released in India.

No One S, too costly and scarce here.

My decisions - Xperia S, S III Mini.

And if someone can recommend a RELIABLE worldwide shipping site, it will be appreciated. :)
[General Questions and Answers] nikufellow:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

why fix it if it ain't broken ?
[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

S2 better than older brother? Didn't expect that. I'll look into Xperia P. I don't like the S Advance, too less deving. Ebay India is there, but you don't get everything here. :) I'll see though.

Edit: Xperia P I didn't like it much. Xperia S is way better.

S2... Still searching for some place where I can get it for 20k. :(

Hey guys,

Do you think I should get the HTC Butterfly or Xperia Z? I have a desire HD right now with a sense 4 rom so getting the butterfly would be like getting a faster version of my phone, or playing it safe. My brother has the xperia x10, and it was really slow and laggy so I'm hesitant about getting the Xperia Z, and I don't even know if I will like it. So what do you guys think I should do? Play it safe or try something new?

P.S - Does sony have a bad rep for making laggy phones?

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

How about acro s and sl they look cool too
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
If you are not gaga over design, get a Xperia go instead.

1. Dust, water resistant

2. Official JB update

3. Expandable storage!

4. 1-2k max price differnce.

Sony does tend to put in older processors in new releases as well (like XS has a S3), but Xperia Z is a whole new level.

If you can get hands on one, don't think twice!

Get the HTC One X+ then.

If you are inclined towards Moto, get the Droid Razr Maxx HD.

First decide if you want a tablet or a phone!

Also FYI, on a spec sheet basis Acro S >> Tab 2

Z is an awesome phone. Gorgeous, classy. It might be a problem for her hands, if they are small, but I think you should go with it. Moms usually love design over specs, and Z is way better than S4 at that.
