You're not going to get sensible answers here as we are all S3 owners.
Also, please see this:

Spec-wise - the Xperia. A Snapdragon CPU, twice the RAM, a bigger battery, better camera, waterproof.
Your call though.

I've posted this thread in the Galaxy Note Section as well because I don't know where it belongs. I'm sorry for troubling you guys please can someone please please help me?
Hi Everyone,
I'm torn between buying one of the two super phones: Samsung Galaxy Note and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus / Google Nexus Prime.
I've done some research using Google about the phones.
ht tp://ww w.androidauthority. com/galaxy-note-vs-galaxy-s2-vs-galaxy-nexus-the-best-of-the-best-32011/
ht tp:/ /social-catalog. com/samsung-galaxy-note-vs-google-nexus-prime
ht tp:/ /versusio. com/en/google-nexus-prime-vs-samsung-galaxy-note
It is my understanding that the Note is superior from what I have understood:
1. Bigger Screen of the Note makes it really awesome visually
2. Marginally better resolution for the Note as well
3. MUCH longer battery life on the Note although it said it is because of the screen size which begs me to ask: does that mean in effect it will be the same as the Nexus Prime's?
4. Note will also get upgraded to ICS
5. Note and NP have both got great screens - Super AMOLED
6. Galaxy Note has a better camera
7. Galaxy Note does or does not have a MICRO SD slot? I have read mixed reports on this. But, I am assuming both have that option of expandable memory. Am I correct?
Given all this I am concluding that the Note is a much better phone.
Am I right? Or am I missing something crucial? I don't "have" to buy a phone right now so is there another better phone with quad core coming out? I don't want to buy the phone and then 2 months later or in Q2 2012 have a new Quad core phone come out.
What do you guys think?
Please help me out here
hi every one ,
i want to buy anew smart phone and im really confused and compare between neo v and galaxy sl generally which phone is better i love neo v but the internal memory worrid me if iwant to setup alot of programes . idont care about playing games on the phone .is this phone good enough to buy
thanks alot please help me i will buy one of them next week waiting for your replay
Wrong place to ask really. 99% of the folk on here have a Neo. Or Neo V. So they will be biased.
Suggest you use a more general area so the Samsung users can contribute.
Neither phone has been a particularly stellar seller, and the Xperia U in the same price bracket is due out in 6 weeks.
In any case, you will get such a wide variety of highly subjective opinions that you will not gain anything that will help you.
Make your own mind up based on what you need...

Galaxy SL internal memory for programms has shared only 480Mb, not so far more as 320Mb on Xperia neoV, also mos programs can be mooved to SD card.
Galaxy SL is 1 year old model an therefore Samsung stop to provide new firmware updates. Xperia neoV in nex month wil receives new firmware update - Android 4.0
galaxy sl have bigger screen and larger internal memory .
Neo V have HDMI , camera flash .
you might wan to wait for xperia P . It will probably bout neo V price + $50 when launch .
just wait for Xperia U n P .. better than the two.

Agree,still Xperia P is in the same prize bracket as Neo V ?
No the U is. The P is almost the same price as the S (at launch) - I mentioned this very fact in my reply earlier, please do read...

I don't think there are much users who can comment on stuff like camera quality this soon about Xperia P and U.Apart from these pages about Xperia P and U we don't know much about them.Tho here's one suggestion,don't go for Xperia U due to ram being only 512mb,for multitasking more ram is always better.
LenAsh,didn't saw that mate,apart from looks and dual core processor I don't think much is different in Neo V and U,U is more like a replacement for Neo V I think.
No problem - I think you are spot-on! The U will likely be the "new" Neo V. Spec wise and price wise. Screen a little smaller, IIRC.
I'm probably going for the P. I have had the Neo for some time now and can honestly say it is the most usable and reliable mobile device I have owned. It's like an old friend now. Been all over the world with it and never a twitch. I also like SE's open attitude to free development.
I love SE and I love my X Neo
of-course neo v-----> going to update to ics officially
Yes, This is a question but for comparation phones and I think it belogs here. If not, mods please move it
I'm buying ZTE GRAND X IN next week and I want to ask you what you think about it. Spec here
I might switch to it and give lww to my dad or vice versa if it receive JB. I read that it will get in March 2013 (this month)
So, what do you think. According to unboxing videos it has AOSP UI which I like it
Edit: And how about Xperia J? Same spec like our phones with planned JB update
xperia j doesnt have same specs
our phones are better
but zte is better

Well it has 1GHz single core, 512MB RAM, JB update (I'm mad at you Sony Xperia U is more better but it don't have JB)
J spec here
Odp: [Q] ZTE GRAND X IN vs Live With Walkman vs Xperia J
But J is too laggy for me. I have in my hands Xperia and ZTE. ZTE is super smooth, but I want my Mango

Why do you want the official jb? You could very easily use custom fw. if the phone has better specs, it will be smooth too.

If I can do it, I will done that with my LwW. I have locked bootloader and 90% I'm sure this phones will be locked too.
Ok. There isn't any jb rom for locked right?
Btw, you could try wotan server, (I know it's not free, but considering you have two phones with un-unlockable bootloader)
Back on topic, I would go with zte as j specs are almost like ours, except the jb part. (Heard zte was better.)

Jb roms couldn't run on locked bootloader coz sony didn't released any official kernel, rom or sources for jb for our phones and will never do it. So we need custom kernels for jb which obviously need an unlocked bootloader.
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,

Dont miss the ICON FARM!
Well, there is not even Z for ZTE GXIN and J anroid development forum is not that rich like this :/ I'll buy it but I'm not sure if I or my dad will use it
I don't know if this is bad news but ZTE Grand x In have x86 processor instead of ARM and some apps might be not compatible with it.

Looks like I will get the Z Ultra then. Is it possible to run the Z Ultra to a monitor and keyboard and mouse simultaneously?

I would think so yes.

Hi to all xperia z2 users.
I have galaxy s4 currently and planning to upgrade my phone. I don't have a big budget but recently the price for xperia-z2 is dropped in eBay India (imported ones)
The other attractive phone for me is the xiaomi MI 4, I love their Miui 6. MI 4 is far cheaper compared to the xperia-z2 and specs are about the same.
So I am looking forward for your opinions on this Sony phone. Does it worth to buy. I heard Waterproof is not working for everyone. Is that correct?
Or shall I go for MI 4 or any other phones..
Edit : If anyone has any experience or suggestions on xperia z1 compact, please respond. I love that small beast.
Thanks in advance

In my opinion its worth buying because i personaly love the sony UI
i recomend Xperia Z1, ZU if your not wiling to pay for Z2
if not an Xperia Nexus 5 is definatly something worth it and if you can pay up for a LG G3 then its worth it
Oppo N7 and One+one are alternates which are worth it, with the One+ being better than the N7 in terms of other quality
the Water proofing with Xperia Z2 is only a problem with Defective units
any questions about a phone ask

Do you have any idea on the Z1 compact. ? about it's performance compared with Z2.
And also, does these xperia z series phones (especially black ones) have wears and tears (of finger) on the back panel ?
* I believe, this doesn't affect much in while color phones ?

Performance is simular, Z2 being slightly faster due to hardware but not by much due to firmware
Xperias dont realy ware easy exept the flaps/port covers
White colored or lighter colored phones dont realy discolor or smudge too much unless you dont wash your hands often :/
I think the best bet for a device that is good is wait for Z2 to get 4.4.4 at this point
The device is tougher than Z1 and has a overal improved feel than Z1, its also not as expencive as Z3 and with this new upcoming update (probably couple months max im guessing) then Z2 is definatly worth it
Id take it in black just because damage doesnt show as easy with me and my clumbsyness
Thank you Envious_Data. You are being helpful.
