I want to choose between these two phones. I live in the states so the s3 is only dual core but it has 2gb of ram. Plus the ion you can't remove the battery. The plus slide is the ion is 100 USD's cheaper than the s3 and had 12mp camera ad opposed to the 8 MP3 camera on the s3. Which phone would you choose and why?

i used to believe i would stick with sony...but they are incredibly slow on updates...xperia s and xperia ion should have came out with 4.0 ICS since release...sony (and sony ericsson) has always disappointed with updates and i would expect the same to occur with jellybean. That's ended up being a deal-breaker for me. Also there doesn't appear to be any top developers or root access being up for xperia ion.

s3 because it already has ics and who really know when ion will get ics. and most likely the s3 will get jellybean first. ion i doubt will. the att version of the s3 has a better processor and better software. and the s3 is is pretty much guaranteed top devs

Hi friends,
I just love my x10.
But it seems my perticular x10 has motherboard problem.it keeps restarting if there is sim card inserted. Service center refused service as my x10 is from outside india.
But i m interested in either arc or neo. But not sure what i should do..
Or should replace x10 with x10.
Any thoughts...
Specially from current arc and neo users...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I have heard but I dont own one, but the arc is a better pick over the neo.
But if you want even a better phone. Go for the Samsung galaxy S 2. That phone has gotten reviews as the one of or the best smartphone to date. When I get to a computer, I will give u a review link. Hope this helps.

I believe sgs2 is the greatest mobile on planet as of now. But i like sony phones and their design more.
Arc is better looking than neo.
Arc has beutiful design.bigger screen hence better usability.
Neo has smaller screen but better battery life.
Front camera does not interest me tht much.
If only arc had 1650mAh battery like the mighty sgs2...

sgs2 hands down, I've tried it at a store once, it's so smooth. Not for people with small hands though.

I have decided to go with arc. All thanks to the beautiful design.
But x10 fits in your hand so effortlessly.
Arc has great camera. I better not lose my focus. Else i would end up replacing x10 with x10
Can someone help me getting the best phone under 17,000 INR with good rom development support by xda developers ?
I have just come across Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V. Is there some other phone that suites my budget ?

As per my issue I would Luke to inform you to make a checklist about your needs and try to match on gsmarena with your checklist. I hope you will find your best one.
Another thing is no device are fully compiled for all sort of needs like surfing, gaming, music, video etc. Every device has its own pros & cons, you will find these over gsmarena too.
Please update us about your needs and your selection. So that this thread will be helpful for other's whone looking for it.

Large screen is not that important for me. Good battery, yes. I would prefer sense but with my requirements, it doesn't fit my budget.
My requirements:
GPU for HD Games
Camera 5MP or above
Screen resolution should be good
At least 1 Ghz processor
And some other basic needs that now a days are fullfilled on almost all the handsets. Oops and also xda support/development of tons should be good.
For the above specs, I found Neo V to be beneficial. Any other suggestions ?

I don't really know how much your budget is since my currency is the Euro but for your requirements (mine were pretty much the same) I would buy Xperia Play (if you're really into gamming). I also considered Neo V but I wanted a bigger screen and the physical controls are really awesome. Neo V is around 160€ in my country and I bought Play for 200€, not that much difference.
I'd recommend a galaxy S. Strong gpu beautiful screen flash and good rom development..

****.. now I'm really confused between these three phones:
HTC One V - doesn't have front camera
Sony Ericsson Neo V - less internal space and a bit old
Samsung Galaxy S - less ROM
Above phones have its cons. I'm from India and here, 3G is not yet fully established. It might take almost a year or 2 for it to get established fully.

Don't buy the galaxy s. Its a nice phone but very old and Samsung has stopped supporting it. You're better off with the Sony or HTC phone that you've mentioned.
Ps.Sony phone gets official ics.

Neo V has CM9 support from FXP Team and also we (TeamXperia) ported AOKP to it so its handy

Do your research on the phones available to you and make up your own mind. Never and I mean never get a phone based on how many Developers the phone has because you will be disappointed when the next best device comes out and the Devs move devices as they tend to do.
In closing make up your own mind

Do I need to sell my Sola for Xperia J? is it worth it?
not worth it. sola is better
J is just like xperia 2011 devices. Old hardware, laggy ics. Also the rom on it is like ics for xperia11 not like ics for p/s. Sola is much better, dualcore hardware and will get ics with the latest sony ui and much smoother.
Go for sola!
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
I totally agree the Sola is much better.
Why the Sola is better
1. The CPU is dual core and much stronger on the Sola
2. Sola has a higher pixel density
3. Sola has 8GB internal storage, double the Xperia J 4GB
4. Data rates on Sola are faster, see them compared below
5. Newer bluetooth on Sola
6. GPU (graphics capacity) is MUCH stronger on the Sola
7. More advanced multtouch on Sola
8. Sola is thinner and lighter IF you like that
Why the Xperia J is better
1. Larger screen - IF you want that
2. Much stronger battery
Phones compared

It is worth it if most of the time you will be checking email and browse internet on your phone (just like me). The battery life is good and the screen is good too. And last but not least, the design is beautiful.
Sola is better and faster phone, J is low budget single core phone with bigger, but not better screen.
And V is a beast phone but with much higher price.

Agree with you. Spec wise Xperia Sola is better (and cheaper, in my country). But if a user have the same use case as me, Xperia J might be better. Don't forget about the battery life too.

As in my opinion,Sola is better than J in terms of performance and also in terms of battery.
Remember our devices use NovaThor SOCs so they have reduced power consumption.
And J uses a ancient CPU as well as GPU.(Cortex A5 :silly: and Adreno 200:silly
These specs are similar to my Galaxy Mini which is nearly 1 year old.
This is just my opinion,rest depends on you.

Got a Xperia U although not really used it yet (waiting for ICS), but now seen the Xperia J for the same price, I know the U is dual core, but then the J has micro SD and a bigger screen, how much weaker is the processor?
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4930&idPhone2=4437
I cant really tell much difference to my single core Motorola Defy overclocked at 1GHz and my dual core Xperia S running at the default 1.5GHz ill be honest. There is obviously a difference but its not a breath taking one thats for sure.
Way weaker. It is just an redesinged xperia 11. Uses the same outdated laggy ics rom. Nothing compared to nxt phones
send from my awesome xperia sola using xda app
From the review of miro and tipo (which share the same internal as sxj). People calling it snappy.
Personally there isn't much different between q single core arc and my sxs for normal use. Probably in heavy games. But still I could play GTA on my arc easily.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
that device isn't very good... the same Adreno GPU that X8 has, kinda sucks, and the processor is kinda slowwwwwww
I personally would go for the Xperia U, is clearly faster, better CPU and GPU, the same amount of memory the lack of memory card slot, and the smaller screen can make you think twice before you buy it but belive me, it is more than enought
I was going to buy the Xperia J until I seen the spec. The adreno 200 gpu is very weak and would really struggle with any decent game or even rom.
I now have the Xperia U and if you can get over the fact that the 3.5" screen is the exact same width as the tiny x8 then it is a great phone. The screen detail is very good and the phone sits perfectly in the hand.

Xperia U looks very stylish, but J is newer. IMO get J because you ll sell it for 0,5 y or 1 y for better money.

I read lots of PDFs and webpages so I like Nexus' higher DPI, and its lower price does not hurt, either. However, I am not sure how Sony's full HD display looks like in real life when compared to the Nexus 10... I am also curious of people's feedback for the Sony-skinned Android. Is it useful or intrusive? I have not used Sony's mobile devices before so I have no idea...
However, Sony's design and the feature of water resistance are the reason that I am leaning toward the tablet z...

Sony doesnt have good support on software updates...at least not according to the forums here but I believe that is good support, if they indeed succeed on the AOSP. If they do, I would agree on the idea of the Z before the N10 but I'll wait for now.

First thing, the first two Sony Android tablets were managed by the Vaio team, not Sony Mobile team. Second, at least it seems, Sony is trying to get their stuff done and provide some good updates to all of us faster than the last years.
Some users with nexus 10 seems to ahve a bug with it randomly rebooting and wifi dropping. My wife has the nexus 10 and faces such issues. bit disappointing considering i thought stock android would be more stable.
Go for the XPERIA TABLET Z, it's just objectively better.
Also, Companies like HTC and Samsung are interferring significantly with the Vanilla Android, changing everything, while Sony only makes a few Design improvements and adds some features. Like eg small apps. TouchWiz and Sense are big changers while Sony only tweaks a bit
Well, it seems that Sony is doing a great job here releasing the aosp code officially. Hopefully they will keep doing this! =D
And, yeah, sense and touchwiz sucks.
