Which Sony Experia, P, U or Go? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi, my wife has a Sony Xperia Ars S and now she want's a new Sony Xperia, she can't decide between the Xperia P, U or Go
Can you tell me if any of her choices have Jellybean firmware or are they all still all on ICS and which one would you recommend.

P for sure, though I'd recommend an Xperia V for a slightly higher money. Definitely worth every penny.
FYI, P got a gig of memory, JellyBean, unibody and is sexy
I think the battery backup is a bit on the downside, but still...
There's no reason you should consider the others.

First of all it's called Xperia and not Experia
Second xda is not a forum for people how don't know which device they should buy
Nevertheless I'll answer your questions
The JellyBean thing:
Xperia P = Yes it has JellyBean
Xperia U = Nope
Xperia Go = Yes
It's also important how your wife use/want to use her phone
If she let it fall down 3 times a day, the Xperia Go is recommended.
If she likes a better screen resolution and a bigger display the Xperia P will be good
And if she don't like JellyBean the Xperia U is perfect

Thanks for the fast replys and apologies for the spelling mistake.

I would say Sola, because of the expandable memory.

I'd go for the Xperia P. Also before buying one, make sure you have checked all phones from your price range, like Samsung Galaxy S3 mini

Are you sure she wants to change phone? Xperia arc s is great! The screen is bigger than p. Even if it's a 1.4 ghz single core with 512 mb ram, is pretty fast. You can also get a fantastic cm10 for it. I suggest you to purchase an higher range Xperia phone or not to buy any.

Go for Xperia P....I own it and am proud to advise others to go for it!!
Xperia P is the best of the phones that you mentioned...review all the specs on sony website.

wait half a month and buy an xperia L

Please help me choosing a phone!

Hello everyone.
I'm going to buy a Xperia phone.
I want to buy one between Xperia Go, Xperia Sola and Xperia P. I might think I'd choose between Xperia Go and Xperia Sola (As Xperia P ain't got any SD Card support)
I'm a total newbie. So please, experts, help me choose a phone! Thanks
if you are here i suppose you like rooting your phone, use custom roms, mods, etc so the first you need is a phone with unlockable bootloader.
You can view phone specs on www.gsmarena.com and their differences to chose one, but Xperia Go seems like doesn't have support here yet
Good luck!

unfortunately my Xperia S can't be unlocked and haven't carrier restriction (there's no carriers restrictions in my country), just it's "not allowed" to unlock.

Get the Xperia Go. Floating touch is useless compares to Water proof and anti scratch.
Get the P. Better camera, more ram, bigger screen, sexy design..hdmi out
To me phone memory is for basic item. Other than that there's usb2go
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Get P. The unibody is just awesome, and the phone is the sexiest.
Plus, it got 16 gigs internal, which should be more than enough.
You'd never regret buying it
Sent from my ST25i using Tapatalk 2
My vote is for P too. If you do not need dust and water resistance then the more RAM a phone has the better.
Maybe you might want to wait for the Xperia J, it may be the killer phone for you. Large screen, decent resolution, micro SD slot... it's less powerful than the sola and the P though.

Will we receive another update?

So Sony has decided not to give us Jelly Bean but they said they will continue to give us maintenance update for ICS. And it has been a while since the last .587, do you think they will release another update for our phone? For me even if they don't give us JB I will be happy if they continue to release bugfix and stability improvement update to perfect ICS. Let's hope our phone's life cycle won't end so soon.
highly doubt that they will spend any more time updating the 2011 line up
Actually u can see this and give up your hopes

How can you prefer something that you didn't even tried?! (Here i'm not talking about CM10,but about Sony customized JB). And no,ICS don't sucks,but you need to uninstall some crap apps which are eating ram and processor power,and then you'll get a very smooth ICS.

look:
Sony Mobile has this morning confirmed that Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for its new Xperia devices (Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V) will start to receive the update from the middle of Q1 2013. Sony Xperia devices that launched earlier this year including the Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J will be upgraded to Android 4.1 in “due course”. Looks like Xperia miro, Xperia tipo, Xperia tipo dual, Xperia sola and Xperia U users are excluded.

Man,Samsung,Sony,Motorola,Microsoft,Apple or any other company you want don't care about customer satisfaction...They care only about making money,and how can they make money,if they don't make you to buy their newest devices? This is not about customer satisfaction,it is about marketing strategy,where,unfortunately Sony has very weak employees.

May i know what is the price at which you are getting it????
AW: [Help] Wanna buy Xperia Sola
I think that the sola is one of the best bang for the buck you can get. Stock Sony fw is pretty good and if that's not enough, you can go for cm or miui.
When you buy it, check if unlock allowed =yes! That's important.

really appreciate yur replies guys..... would be getting it in 2weeks time, was just afraid cos of lots of complains about tha phone.

Xperia Sola is $246 here....
Sola is Great !!!!!!.

Congratulation, brov! Finally you move from Sony Ericsson phone to SONY phone:good:
I myself own Xperia P. If you dont care about JB update then go for Xperia sola. But I prefer P over sola.
Sent from LT22i via Tapatalk
Save up a bit more and get the P or something else.
I just sold my Sola. Barely got half the value I got for it even though it's a 6 months phone. The problem is that it is buggy as hell and needs CM9 to even function properly (Talking about notifications and calls here.) Check the forums, there's a particular bug where you have to wait like 10 seconds before you can accept a call.
The lack of support from Sony is also disappointing. ICS was released only late last year (Everyone has moved on to JB), and JB will never even come for this phone.
The floating touch was a good idea, but it was not... Useful. Looks cool as hell, and had so much potential, but it is more annoying than useful. It's tendency to be activated when you're charging means it's very difficult to type when your phone is being charged.
I just need a phone to function as a phone, and it can't even deliver that to me.
really appreciate yur comments guys..... me too love Xperia Sola but less RAM & no more updates, Sony really fumbled!!!
lots of Complains bout Xperia Sola. big hug to yhu guys!
ZN6 i felt like moving on dats why i sold it. maybe will waiting till February ending or March to get phone den & maybe i would be getting Xperia P!

Xperia U or Xperia J?

Both phones here have the same price.
I like the looks of both phones, my hands arent big. I like J big screen, im ok with 3.5 but what worries me that its 16:9 aspect ratio, wich means its longer and less wider then analog 3.5 inch screen size phones (iphone, galaxy ace).
J doesnt have such good camera as i see in reviews and only 1ghz CPU.
Despite the fact that U doesnt have mSD expansion slot, im ok with that, if i need more gbs i might just use OTG cable with usb stick.
So what is your suggestion?
maybe some of you already had expierience with both phones?
how is performance of both phones compared to each other? video playback? dvix video playback (with decoders installed)?
Go for Xperia j. At least the chip set has sufficient sources for devs to port the latest os. Users like me who are using Xperia p/u/go/sola are struggling to get a working jellybean from coz of poor support from the chipset maker St Ericsson. So if u care about having the latest os go for Xperia j but if u want a better camera and display and an extra core go for Xperia u

Check gsm arena user comments ... i've read that many users are complaining of lag after update to JB in case of xperia j.
Go for xperia j you will get official jellybean along with xloud bravia engine that won't present in custom jb roms...
Go for xperia U. Im using it and am loving it. First off its much better looking than J. The LED bar at the bottom really adds to its beauty. Also the specs of U are much better than that of J. You will have trouble running even slightly heavy applications and games on the J

altough i still do not hear strong points for xperia J.
As i see ICS from JB isnt much different, so OS isnt an issue if its not older then ICS
What about 3.5 inch screen? how does it feel comparing to iphone or ace or any other 3.5?

Leave Xperia U/J and get Xperia go.
On Xperia U you will get dual core while Xperia J you will get latest OS. But on Xperia go you get both and extra! Waterproof and durable phone!

If you are happy with ICS then i would suggest HTC ONE V.It has more development than XU.
Get HTC desire X.. You can buy it from eBay at cheaper prices or HTC Amaze 4g old but better specs and looks and development. U can also get Xperia P for same price.
