2011 devices are the best of all lineups...!!!

Whats not say about my SIMPLY AWSM Sony Ericsson LWW....superb sound quality with stereo (dual) speakers...dedicated music key....and the powerful 1GHz processor with Adreno 205 GPU....and the front cam

And to top it all...the Gr8 Developers here at XDA wich hav unleahed the beast within our devices....

These days' SONY mid range devices have very poor specs and performance compared to OUR SE 2011 mid range devices (except the internal memory lol)

# A SALUTE to Sony MDPI KERNEL and ROM developers :highfive: here at XDA...SONY shud learn and employ these ppl rather than the ppl they have...

i completely agree with u....SONY without ERICSSON is like a sniper without his gun...;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] predatOr:
Only Sony 2012 devices were fail...

They have improved drastically with 2013 lineup... :)

And a company which just split up, needs some time to achieve its previous glory...

2012 was a build up phase... They did many mistakes... And have definitely learned a lot. :)

2013 Q1 has profited Sony a lot and the devices released are awesome in specs too.

Sony Ericsson is past and the future is already here. :D

hmm, I will stick with my smultron for a long time, since it got 3.0.8 kernel from nAa :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] skull47:
i know and agree that 2013 devices released till now r superb but they r high-end ones...and i am talking about the mid-range devices nd as of nw there r no 2013 mid-range devices....

lets c what happens....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
I think sony is now concentrating on high-end devices since those products make most of their sales revenue.... Their xperia Z for example has very high demand....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] deccan451:
Best thing about 2011 is there configuration ( almost same ), 1ghz professor, 512 ram, mogami board... because of this now we have 3.0.8 kernel in future 3.4 ... not much difficult porting ROMs, kernels, mods... :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tiru.adi13:
The XZ does have a high demand but sadly its still not the halo phone sony should have released.....I've seen a few they're definetly the best looking phones right now but are crippled by some issues like overheating and lag (surprising, but yes).....but reports of the ray 3 seem interesting it would be perfect size and specs (4.6", snapdragon 800, 2GB RAM, 1080p IPS display and more)

Sony made disastrous phones when Ericsson left them...the whole 2012 line up was a waste...now the 2013 devices are pretty good..but can be better...making good low end devices + high end devices like z will surely boost their market share
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sixaidee:
I love everything about my Live with Walkman - the size, build, performance, and everything else. It's too bad Sony isn't with Ericsson anymore. The 2011 lineup was the best one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Droidslayer99:
I have Xperia Mini (smultron) st15i .... my first android smartphone. very gud gaming device. I have always been an SE fanboy. Before XM, i had w810i (walkman series). Now i miss "Ericsson" in Sony. 2012 lineup devices were not upto the mark. Hope 2013 lineup comes well. :good::victory:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhdmwfq:
I think all Xperia 2011 device so much better than Xperia 2012 device. I compared my Mini Pro with my friend's Tipo and E, and my friend said that my phone is really much better than his phone ! He jealous and regret bought that phone. LOL.

Cheer up *beer*

Sorry for my bad english.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
:crying:

all the new linup from sony is too big for me. i like small phones and hate the new ''even bigger'' design in new phones...

xperia z is for me a (mini-) tablet because of its size, and some user(s) posting before me are right when the say that the quality was going down without ericsson...... also: for me sony has always a REALLY good designed UI, but from 1 year it looks more and more crappy

last but not least: earlier a ''lineup'' was 3-6 phones; now the 2012/13 lineup has so many phones, that i cant count them:silly:

and most of the looks same..... it looks like sony has no idea where they want to go in the future.....

but i hope best....

and like everytime: sry for bad english :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] effe12:
Sure loved the 2011. I love the form factor of my Ray.

I think the 2013 line is great though, just too bad those giant screens are getting all the love. (and why low dpi ?)

The biggest reason why I bought my Lww because of price/quality ratio and stereo speakers. When I was looking for a new smartphone in 2012 August, there wasn't any smartphone with stereo really. And I could buy Ace instead, but it's specs are a lot worse than our 2011 Sony's :)

Ray has great advatage of it's design, functionaly and development, which is above standard. Only recommendations.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Hiute:
I have a xperia mini pro and XU.

What I like the SK17i is its design and functionality. I like the physical keyboard and that it is small because it fits in your pants without disturbing.

When U xperia appeared I did not like, it's too square. Now I'm used to, but now all sony are equal with different sizes.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kr428:
Size indeed. Bought the LwW back then explicitely because I wanted a small, compact device that can easily be operated single-handed in most situations. Still am pretty pleased with the device; next one probably will be something such as the Xperia V as being water-resistant possibly's the only improvemend I would wish for my LwW. ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Joakim112:
Been reading all your comments here and all I can say that I am so lucky that my Ray belongs to 2011 family. At first I was so dissapointed of my ray when I upgraded to ICS its because of having stock ROMS and kernels it made me sell it again and buy a new phone. When I rooted and change all stock into custom I was so impressed how this phone rocks. I was so happy that there are still a lot of developers of my Ray here in XDA. Simply Amazing!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] senhordotempo:
best thing about xperia 2011 is...

... its low price in late 2012-early 2013. :P

but a nice thing in all xperia lineup is sony's supportive devs, always providing ways to easily get alternative roms :)

(although still not providing jelly bean camera libs for us)

i've used several android phones but my Ray is the best phone ever... powerful enough for almost all purposes and great battery life... slim, strong and just the right amount of weight that makes using the phone a worthy product...

hope sony releases the jb camera libs coz i love the 8mp cybershot which beats newer n more powerful sony phones...:D

I used to own a mango back in the days, then I sold it to get a nypon thinking that it would be a great successor for my mango. I was wrong though, it wasn't as good as I expected even though I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader for customization.

I believe my old mango is going to perform much better than my nypon does.

Let's just hope some time in the future we'll have SONY devices as compact as the 2011 lineups but as, or more, powerful as the 2013 lineups :D

Bought my LwW last year because of the price but I never thought it would be that great. Fast and easy for daily use.

I've had my Live with Walkman for just over a year now and I love it, GB was super, ICS is perfect (after some mods). The hardware and design of the 2011 Xperia's was also nice, the 2012 series all look the same (pretty much) and 2013 likewise (not saying they are bad).

I love my Live with Walkman , it's my very first android phone ...... I just bought it because it had walkman and for its speakers... but After that I realised my phone was ultra smooth , so I played almost every game In my phone...... GB was Perfect... when I Updated to ICS , my phone lagged too much :( After that I found this amazing site <XDA :P > and rooted my phone , then it started performing again..... Now running my phone in JB ..... :)

Its been more than a year by now and my phone is completely awesome...

I would say , best thing in our phone is we can use our phone from GB to JB according to our needs and our wish ..... thanks to all the developers who are developing for our phone ( because of them only , my phone is running sooooo smooth...... ;) )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Thom4s:
I bought a nokia E6 to replace my mini (it is a symbian phone with long battery life), it was a great phone for the battery. I lost it. Now I'm back to the xperia mini, and i still really really like it. There's only one problem: the battery. It only lasts a day and a half.

I hate this because you have to load it every day otherwise you can be sure it will run out of juice at some point of the 2nd day.

There is no better android (nor ios) replacement because they all have this problem.

I just want an xperia mini with a sligthly bigger screen, but its ok like this, and with LONG battery life.

My E6, i forgot my charger on holiday and so i set it in battery saving and it lasted for 4 more days easy and allthough it was bugging me to charge it every 5 minutes, i could still go on for a night calling and texting. I love the freedom of a great battery!

Did you use the correct kernel? GB kernel for gingerbread, ICS kernel for ICS,etc.... Changing the kernel can solve the problem as it did for me,...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mutlu_live:
it's like JpDany says. you need to use a %100 compatible rom with your current kernel. so you need to flash one of these and you are done...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
I own a Mini Pro and couldn't be happier with another phone. It's excellent for the price despite it's obvious build quality issues.

I got it after quite a long research. Yeah, I was on a budget, and there was absolutely no viable alternative at the time. Everything above $300 didn't seem to justify the money, and nearly anything below was just awful, terrible specs and form factors.

It's my very first Android device and nearly everything I learned about the platform came from the MDPI Xperia section. It's a great community, nowhere as big as the samsung community, but it's somewhat better organized and I'm thankful for that ;)

However, it's been two years since this model came out, and over a year since I own it. It's starting to feel old but it's still running like a champ thanks to FXP's CM10 and nAa's kernel. I'm thinking of getting an Xperia SP by the end of the year, seems to be the next "bang for the buck" champion in my book :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JpDany:

2011 minis

My take , Xperia mini brothers!! They had the best configuration ( Bravia display, 1Ghz, etc etc) in the given price range. Looked compact and unique among other LARGE screen devices.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] proparham:
the 2011 line up is the best. the soc of the high-end , mid-end and low-end is the same and the differences are just displays and cameras.

and the design is pretty good.

I think Xperia SP should be good.

my way in Android devices: x10mini, Xperia Mini and Active, Xperia Z1 compact... Still have two working ST17i. one ST15i and Z1c. What can I say? I still can't understand why Sony's management lost the way of SonyEricsson, why do they think that big screens with high resolution is better for mini flagmans?! ST15-17,SK17,WT19 one hand devices, but z1c with 4.3" screen size is very difficult to operate with one hand it is very big for mini-flagman. Still waiting for really mini flagman fron Sony with battary up to 1700-2000mAh, screen size not bigger 3 - 3.3" and newest msm chipset. ST15 and ST17 working on GB o.84 -i think the best rom for them with custom kernel.

I still love my xperia mini pro, even using nowadays big screen I don't find the pleasure of writing text as with the small physical keyboard of the mini pro. Sometimes I still use another old smartphone, the desire Z (g2 in usa) but it hasn't the same feedback, the keyboard is too big for my hand. Xperia mini pro would have been a perfect smartphone if it weren't for the battery.

Looking at the mid-end devices, 2011 is smashing 2012. Our devices got MSM8255 with adreno 205 and 2012 mid's got only MSM7227A with "enchanced" adreno 200, which is basically MSM7227 used in phones like xperia x8 or LG GT540 just made to be armv7 instead of armv6. I consider 2012 mid-range devices as a total crap compared to our phones.
