Hi guys, I'm really interested in Xperia U but my budget is under$180. Does anybody know a good deal flying around ? I don't mind refurbish , I looked up on Ebay but I'm not sure the quality since all the sellers are from China, I wonder can people fake a Sony device or not? Please help!!

I hardly play game (Sudoku is the one &only I play), I mainly surfing web,watch some music video, install bunches of all, so I don't think that 1gbram is much of a prob . Where did you buy your Xperia U?

Well a pretty harsh statement I would say! Its not awful but has some shortcomings which every mobile set has but believe me its shortcomings list is short too.

i know 3 people who own them, who all hate them and wish they'd never bought it. it's laggy, it freezes, it's slow. I've updated them to unofficial jellybean and they're better but still not great, considering the original iPhone's were 1gig dual core's too. and they didn't have those problems

well the fact is Xperia U is 1.5 years old and has no more support
So I dont recommend it to anyone now but it is a great phone
You should get a phone with support even if your budget is low, why not get something on contract?
thank you everyone who commented. I'm googling Ace 3 right now. & please keep giving me advice. I really appreciate it.

I'm still on contract with Tmobile until April 2014. I'm living in Midwest USA which dominated by Verizon. Other options are US Cellular & Viaero but their signal is not strong in some places that I go on weekend. so I'd like to be open with get in and out with a plan easily. I'm thinking of having PagePlus service , I don't need data plan so it's even cheaper.

Will witch one is faster and better for gaming
Xperia u with a 1ghz dual core or iphone 4 with single core
If it is hard to play games ??? how could it run jellybean with the same ui as the Z
Will the U can't
Plus it is using a snapdragon chipset and if some dev worked on the kernel it can be overclocked to 1.9 ghz
About resolution
Small device with a low resolution is not a bad thing it is just like the xperia go in display
And the low resolution means less ram usage less battery drain better gaming
The camera is not that bad i think it is similar to xperia u's one cause megapixels does not mean everything in cameras
The only real problem that there is no flash
He can take photos in the morning and use other cameras or phones to take photos in the night
And as i think he is living in america (us)
And it is full of lights as i know lol
Or he can buy a flashlight with the remaining 30$ ( just joking lol )
AFAIK all iPhone's were dual core

I'm considering to upgrade my P500 to a better one. Currently i'm staring at the Xperia X10. Would that a wise choice? I dont want the latest duo cores phone yet because they seem like unstable to me yet, and quad cores is coming too!
The reason that I want X10:
1Ghz over my 600mhz
superb camera from Sony!
FWVGA, hopefully 16M color ready with 2.3
Any opinion bout it?

Well, first of all, I would not buy anything from Sony, ever... http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2011/02/sonys-war-on-makers-hackers-and-innovators.html
On the rest:
- Faster CPU is nice for gaming, but obviously more power drain. I prefer to not even think about how long would a quad-core last with current batteries? 6 hours?
- For camera - technically a valid reason, P500 sucks in this department. However, I have my own pretty expensive camera for serious purposes, the stuff on phones is frankly just a toy for fun.
- 16M colors? Noone will notice the difference really. Good for marketing, otherwise, makes no difference.

Yeah battery is a real pain, but the camera part is a bit controversial. I dont think it is convenient to bring a DSLR everywhere to take a decent photo, well a better camera phone might be a better solution[at least X10 has a far more better camera]. I really need the 16M color, because some widget and wallpaper looks nice with computer screen[32bit] but looks ugly with P500's screen[18bit].

Google never released any statements about support, and you certainly will not get updates when the nexus line do.

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!!

hi i want to ask a few question and advice
is it Xperia SL still worth to buy for now?
is it Xperia SL able to play HD video with certain format like mkv?
actually i want to buy Xperia T, but sony mobile on my country has confirm that XT will be available at 2013
so i consider to buy XSL until it release
thanks before
Not worth paying around $100 more - buy the S. If you really want to pay more: ion, T, J, V.
you can always use mx player for video playback.
better than every stock player

Buy it then and sell it when good 2013 Xperia smartphones are launched - so you get the best of both worlds.
Go for the SL for the dark silver, looks sooooooo much better
SXSL is 1.7ghz SXS..thats all..go for it if it is cheaper or same price as SXS..thats my opinion..
I dun think so. As Xperia SL is still running s3 processor while Xperia T is running s4 processor which is a new generation of processor
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Im owning Xperia SL, and man it's awesome, very superb and HD!, still running on stock and not yet rooted, not having any lags, or problems. One good thing also is its not heating up even if you are on a multi-task. It is worth buying for..
Does anyone here owning XSL rooted and installed XS roms?
thank you guys for the advice
in my country, Xperia SL is cheaper than Xperia S, Xperia SL is about $450 while Xperia S is still about $500
maybe i'll buy Xperia SL and sell it when Xperia T come out
i hope i'm not regret with my choice to this phone
my only concern is i can watch my movies collection which is most of them has 720p resolution come with mkv format and hard subbed and i can connect it to my HDTV as media player
many android devices i owned before fail to do that, every time i tried to play mkv it always lag, shutter, even video and sound not match
now i'm still using iPhone 4, hope it can make my iPhone 4 retire

So, i'm buying a new phone which will be an upgrade of my current xperia mini as well as galaxy nexus (though i will still use them). I have Xperia L and Xperia Ion LTE in mind as both of them are in my budget. What do you guys think is a better handset in terms of performance (HD gaming+battery life) :good:
Xperia Ion LTE:- http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_ion_lte-4412.php
Xperia L:- http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_l-5363.php
Thanks,

Definitely xperia L its going to ve quite a bit faster than the ion but the ion has a better screen...... But the ion will stop at 4.1 (if it gets it) while the l might get 4.2 so it's a choice between updates and processor over screen and camera

Thanks for the reply this fast
But only thing that concerns me is that the ion has an S3 processor while the L has an S4 but as each is clocked at 1.5GHz and 1 GHz respectively, won't Ion be a little faster? Or as L has a newer generation CPU as well as GPU (adreno 305) it will be better in gaming+performance?
Clock speed might not make a huge difference because the krait cores in s4 are way faster than the s3's cores and also the adreno 305 is more powerful than the one in the the ion......
Since the ion is around 22000 rs I would suggest that you save up a little more and go for a nexus 4 instead which blows away both the ion and the xperia L

yeah thats good to go! xperia SP is batter...
The only reason the sp beat the nexus 4 in benchmarks is because benchmarks aren't optimised yet for 4.2.2
Isn't it obvious that the nexus 4 is faster (2X the RAM, 2 more cores of same processor)? OP, the SP is a good choice but the nexus 4 is better IMHO because of updates, performance, etc. But if you need expandable storage then the SP is the way to go.
Oh and FYI, I'm sure the xperia sp isn't "batter", it's definitely made of aluminium, glass and silicon

The only downside of SP is the camera. The sample shots are quiet awful in comparison with xperia P and arc S which has Exmor R while SP has RS

The only reason the sp beat the nexus 4 in benchmarks is because benchmarks aren't optimised yet for 4.2.2
Isn't it obvious that the nexus 4 is faster (2X the RAM, 2 more cores of same processor)? OP, the SP is a good choice but the nexus 4 is better IMHO because of updates, performance, etc. But if you need expandable storage then the SP is the way to go.
Oh and FYI, I'm sure the xperia sp isn't "batter", it's definitely made of aluminium, glass and silicon

I see where you're going with this
I had Nexus 4 in mind but how much does it cost in India? I can't get it from US cause non of my relatives are coming over here this summer!

Hey man your phone your choice although another happy nexus user wouldn't be bad
But the reason I'm rooting for nexus is because you want to play HD games....they will run well on the xperia sp but the extra gig of ram is a boon......and besides you won't have to worry about updates you'll have official updates for 1.5-2 years and unnoficial for even longer........
I had to make the same choice between an s3 and xperia V (until my pocket money magically increased ) and looking back I think I made a good choice.
Another thing to note is that in jellybean you can't move apps to SD card so if you buy a phone with just 8GB internal storage (sp and L have only that much right?) Then at max you can have only 2-3 HD games......

On phones that run jellybean natively you can't move apps to your microSD card......so you'll be limited to 5.8 GB (space you actually get) for apps and games.
Oh and the nexus 4 can be purchased online but will cost around 26500-28000 rs......which is about the same as xperia sp which is 27000

Just a heads-up if you haven't bought something yet, nexus 4 is available for preorder on flipkart for 26000 rupees.

Please do tell us how u liked using the xperia L coz i am thinking of buying 1 too!
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.

Why did I buy:banghead::banghead::banghead:
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
When i bought this phone - I wanted one with a screen size around 4-4.3 inches.
I narrowed it down to the Xperia S, Xperia P & the HTC One S.
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,
Ray
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
