Hey guys. I'd like to consult with you if it is a good move to sell my Xperia S and buy Nexus 4. The nexus 4 is very attractive mainly because it is a very powerful device and is in the nexus family (android updates without delay) and cost only 350 USD. I think I can sell my XPS and buy Nexus 4!
On the other hand, I really like my XPS and I'm really afraid that the nexus will be a disappointment for me..
I know this is an Xperia S forum and and it's pretty silly to ask it hear, but I'd like to hear your advice.
Thanks

If i was you I'd go for it right away. One thing that Sony lovers debate about is the design and i absolutely love the N4 in that aspect. And plus points over the XS are many. I'm getting one next month
Tapatalked !
Bro, after i saw how Sony take care for their customers and i know how fast nexus devices get their updates - i would never think what should i do, i would buy nexus for sure.
Get a nexus 4
No sony ever again

Sony does have its plus points..The image quality,display clarity,music experience,UI etc of Sony is the best...But it fails in software support,delivery aspects...Nexus 4 will give u a pure android experience..It's definitely, a great buy...There are Rumours that the next Nexus will be part Sony...

Android devices - Choose them wrongly,then u are doomed,.They become nothing but money wasters..
Actually, I can't seem to really understand why are you guys against Sony.. I am very happy with my XPS and thanks to FXP team I am not worried about android upgrades.. I have a fully working JB for some time now. The main reason I want the N4 is because of the combination of good price, powerful specs and Google support.
Can you explain why is Sony that bad?

Arent you a LT22i user? You should be happy Sony is upgrading you early before the LT26i.
And those you say anything but Sony, take note that Samsung also abandons budget phones like Galaxy Ace 1 and mid range like Galaxy W.
Other manufacturers like Motorola and LG fair much worst than Sony or Samsung.

Those phones are outdated, and ...Weak!
What we are talking here is about U and Sola. After 9 months, they've already abandoned us.
The Galaxy Ace 2 released at the same time as XU and it's getting JB next January!
Shame on you, Sony! Shame on you. I'm going for the Nexus or Samsung or even Nokia next time.

So after spending MONTHS trying to train my wife to be an android lover. One of her clients GAVE her an iPhone and now she's sold out. Fine. Not a big deal ...because I HATE the iPhone...I am a firm believer that over all the android is a better phone . But its hard to make that point..when she's holding the iPhone 4 and I'm holding my LG p509. Now of course ivlove my Opt BUT...I'm gonna need an upgrade ..now I'm pretty broke but IV got a few bucks (USD) ...but what I DO have are two ..perfect condition LG p509 s. HERES MY QUESTION TO YOU WISE MEN (and ladies) is there any site I could trade my two phones in for a better One? Which android should I think about moving too?? And what would be the best way to go about it. Please? A little advice?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Okay, I do have to disagree with you just a bit. You see, even as a true Android lover, you can't say things like "Android is superior in all ways." Honestly, iPhone sales are not decreasing. Many people I know still enjoy using their iPhone because they find it simple. These people can't be bothered about what overclocking is and they already feel a great sense of accomplishment with Cydia installed on their iPhones
Here's just my 2¢ on what you should be looking out for your new phone. Firstly, you should get a phone with at least a dual core processor (powerful huh? Wait till you see phones running quad core ). Secondly, you would want a phone with a larger screen display. Let's be honest here. O1 is a very good phone (my first android phone) and I love it. However, I am unable to enjoy fully games such as GTA3. Lastly, since you're such an Android lover, do checkout the xda development page for your future phone. Surely you'd want a phone that is constantly being developed by a pro active community?
Have a nice day!

@Jgreenmusic You can use your very own XDA Market, start now, because it is my belief that when you have something to sell...don't delay! Happy selling!
First, try to look on xda which phone has the largest developer (i don't how you will find it) and when you know it already see the specs at gsmarena.com

Get a phone that is exactly what you want.forget the specs.forget the media propaganda.find a phone that is the right size.is fast enough and dose what you want it to. The reason I phone users are so happy with their phone is that they are all the same.there is nothing that is different or even slightly special from any other iPhone.everything works the same and there is no chance of some individuality might cause a problem.
Get the phone that fits your individuality.be it Android or apple.
hi there mate, thank you for posting this as i have been in the same connundrum over the past few months.the things that concerns me when choosing a new phone are:1. unlocked bootloader as some phones shipped with locked bootloaders. this cannot be a good indication for future developments on the platform. 2. wheter or not the phone has a strong developer community support. i see this as an important feature to ensure that my mew phone would be able to stay fresh for at least the next 18 months.to be honest, i was so close to ditching my optimus one last month, having had the phone as my trusty companion for over a year. but the recent development in cm9 port for our phone (time and time again, the optimus one dev community has never failed to surprise me) had allowed me to stick with the phone for atleast another couple of months, enough time to see whats in store for us after wmc.
Btw , have u tried selling your two o1s on eBay?
The iPhone sucks at price, the only nice thing about it are the animations, you can take a phone with 2x the specs of iPhone woth half price

Honestly I would get a HOX if I was to buy a phone right now. After the issues at launch it seems like HTC has ironed out all the hardware issues. The latest update bringing ICS 4.04( previously 4.03) and sense 4.1 has tremendously improved the smoothness of the UI and battery life. It's now very much comparable to the SGS3 and far ahead of the XS. The SLCD2 is the best on the market at the moment too.
I dont mind Sony Phones running last year software on last year hardware, but WTF with charging the same price with devices that use latest hardwares and softwares. And Sony doesnt even update their softwares on time.
Anyway watch this video review for more information:

But thinking that this experiment by Google's Jean-Baptiste Queru means that Sony Mobile will give full control over the Xperia S's rom to Google would be "somewhat odd" to say the least.
No!! you will regeret if you buy SAMSUNG! I have an S3 and Xperia S. Xperia S is much smoother even though it's full of apps, my S3 is brand new I bought it in Samsung Store but it lags. and I noticed that the screen of my Xperia S has natural colors. S3's screen is over saturated! It feels like I have a cheap China phone when I have my S3. I want to sell the crap S3!!

S3 for the performance, One X for the design.
Although, they say that the Jelly Bean update for One X even made it at par with the S3 in terms of performance.
Just in case, dont buy the one x +, you can always root and unlock the one x's bootloader and overclock it, no need to spend extra bucks for that.
Also, take a look at nexus 4 2gigs of ram, quadcore krait cpu's, adreno320 gpu, and most of all- its a Nexus. And a beautiful one, on top of that.

Don't buy anyone of these two phones,both of them're old phone n soon replace by next flagship, keep waiting will be a smart choice.

Everyone will have their own opinions and reasons. Only you can decide, so do just that.
The post has no real relevance here either, just try the XDA generic Android forums for a broader view than S3 users.
The S4 chip is awesome and way better than crapsynos 4, plus you get the benefit of a fully or next to almost full working CM10.1 experience. So go with an Xperia T.
Seeing as you are so picky, I would suggest the Nokia 1100. Maintenance free, loooooooong battery life.
But seriously, I would wait till the Xperia Z is released. Or S4.
Good luck with choosing a phone.

Main reason why I will most probably get Xperia Z is that Sony cares about dev community and provides needed sources. Also hardware is top and design very nice and premium, without cheap materials.
For me it is time to try other brands.
Right now i would like Sony Xperia Z.
If you can afford it just wait a month or so and get it, i'am sure you won't regret that decision.
I kinda regret it now. When buying, i was enticed by the specs and i thought: "this phine is awesome! No regrets buying it! Better than my laggy neo v!" now, the battery life is not good, its lagging now on jb moonbreaker 3.5. Kinda regret not choosing something better. Although we have awesome devs (thanks! ), i feel that the phone is a bit too overpriced for the specs, and taking on account that we don't have official support from roms like CyanogenMod, SlimBean, Paranoid Android etc. Just wanna hear your views here.

I played around with all three and narrowed it down to the Xperia P. The price difference for the Xperia S & the One S was too much to justify.
Although i expected more official CyanogenMod support - I understand the lack of NovaThor support is what's the reason behind it.
With CM10.1 by @percy_g2 - the phone finally runs as i expected it to - smooth as butter.
I'm perfectly good with the phone and don't see any need to upgrade either - so long as percy fixes Bluetooth
The battery seems to be the one crippling factor for this phone though - I have made a habit to keep a charger handy and I do get 3-4 hours of screen on time which isn't shabby at all.
Cheers,

Yeah sort of, the battery life is worse than I thought and the white magic isn't that special... next time i go Samsung or Nexus
i regret spending €140 on a phone that wont be provided with JB by Sony
Don't regret , in some time we will have a blast in dev selection with new roms , i just need build server access from xda .I have applied and waiting.
Development these days needs lots of bandwidth with good speed which i don't have .
Build server will help in fast development and more things will come :angel: .
I'm so poor Need a little high end with cheap so I got this Xperia U I'm regret but this is what I deserves :crying:

yes as i have it to april 2014 on contract with locked boot loader so i cant go higher than ics what hasn't been updated in months
Regret, and the main reason are locked bootloaders;( The 2nd one is that it has novathor chipset

No regret at all, 100 pounds for completely new Xperia U is very good. Batterry life is good - 2 days with moderate use.

Locker bootloader? Lol, just unlock it! It's so easy!
No regret for buying Xperia U, Its runs great on gingerbread! On ICS its OK......
No regrets. I bought my Xperia U on day one for 199 euros, it was a best buy... Really GREAT performance on GB, worse on ICS, even a lot BETTER on JB (thank you kontini... You saved my phone!). Really sad the missed update to jb, sony is really bad to this... But i'll buy another sony because of fantastic design, and xperia are really easy moddable.
My next phone will be Sony Xperia Z, probably on november. I hope xD
Having mixed feelings about this phone, better rom support (=>availability of novathor sources) would have been nice.
But with cm10.1 it is a lot smoother than it used to be and battery life also has been a lot worse with stock.
I like the phones screen, I hate white magic, camera is decent, performance is not ideal.
This phone isn't bad, but could have been a lot better.
I don't regret buying this phone: The price wasn't bad and I won't make the same mistakes again.

I think that he meant he has a "unlock allowed = no" phone.
Coming from a Galaxy Ace-i, I'm completely satisfied Bought my white XU in February at €169, it was on sale, I hope it'll last a lot because I love it, the only "cons" are the quite small screen and the RAM problems on JB, but it's a great phone! Sony totally captured me, my next phone will be another Xperia :3
My classmate always tells me that my phone looks like a toy phone conpared to his Galaxy S4, but I reply that, at least, mine doesn't look like a plastic frying pan
I love my XU
