Hey guys, ive only had this phone for 3 weeks and im so happy with it. the build quality is excellent, and there is an excellent camera and specs under the hood of this phone. I've compared it to many of the new phones, and im\'m pleased to say that the xperia s is one of the best of them. Here are some of my comparisons:
Galaxy Nexus (thanks to my friend):
They both run smooth, 5mp camera is mediocre, and is unable to take the high quality shots of our phone, performance is nearly the same,
Jellybean runs smooth, but so does our phone with only ics
Galaxy Note (thanks to my cousin):
Smaller screen than the note, but text and websites look sharper on our screen. performance is way better, maybe it was just me, but touchwiz was really choppy and looked crap comparing it to sony's ui,
Galaxy S 2:
similar, our phone is a tinny bit faster, and i cant understand why touchwiz is so ugly............. performance is ok, but our phone is better at viewing photos and videos thans to our super HD screen
ill have to say, the galaxy s2 is pretty good for a phone that was released a year ago though..........
feel free to make your own comparisons below............
Sorry but we don't need such threads,it will lead to wars.

+1 I agree.......
I think if people act mature there shouldn't be no wars. My thought is this. I've had x10 And arc past years. Recently I picked up the gs3 (first non sony). I can say just by looking at videos of Xperia s the gs3 is faster (2gb ram) but gs3 is uglier than the Xperia s. I'd say Xperia s Is great and I'm still trying to find one to test since I love Sony. I think if you like design and being different from thé crowd go Sony xperia. If you want that speed boost with less exciting design go Samsung.
Hope I don't sound fanboyish with that.

Have always loved Sony had arc s and now xs since launch, loved every minute until 2 days ago, when the wife got her galaxy s3 and as much as I hate to say it it is far superior.
For me the whole design and feel is much nicer, the keyboard is a joy to use, touch buttons more responsive and the whole phone is so much quicker no lag no constant home screen redraw.
Don't like to settle for second best so trading mine in

The trouble with the xperia s is that it's been riddled with software issues from day one and it just can't seem to stabilize itself even in these ics days judging by the number of issues people have been having with that.
Mine isn't constant homescreen redraw but homescreen crashes.
I've compared the xperia with the GS2, GS3 and note. I can say that it's better than all except the GS3. And there it's mainly a performance difference. A slight one at that. Wait until the wife's GS3 settles down after a few weeks, I promise you the lag will be clearly visible too.
My friend's note was the same. When he got it, it was as smooth as butter but when I saw him again a few weeks later, I couldn't believe it was the same phone. Lagging and stuttering like a flipping joker.
You're going to have to wait for jellybean to reduce the lag in android.

Especially if 'someone' starts comparing it to the iphone... apple fanboyz are cancer.
Nevertheless, i like hearing "your phone is the best". A bit childish but i admit it.

The reason I choose xperia s over galaxy s3 or htc one x is due to the screen clarity and also the camera..
tho each phone have its pros and cons anyway..depending on someone preference and usage

Hi all. Engadget has just released their review of One X+. Just wanted to share.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/31/htc-one-x-plus-review/
They basically say;
- Sense has improved and runs a bit smoother.
- Front camera has drastically improved.
- Battery life is same as One X.
- There is only one color option which is black matte.
- Photo and video quality is same as One X and they think it lags behind the competition.
- The processor is faster and it shows itself in real world usage.
- Camera lens is still prone to scratch.
- Taking photos is even faster.
- Volume is significantly higher with Beats Audio enabled.
and so on...
So basically not really worth upgrading once the one x receives jelly bean?

It's a personal preference. It brings faster performance, 64 GB storage, probably less problematic hardware than One X (remember wifi, screen problems of One X) and more.. They just say if it was using S4 Pro it would have had better battery life but still it's a lovely phone.

I would buy One X or One X+ only if I like Sense. Well, I do but I couldn't buy One X since it had hardware issues when I was looking for. Maybe HTC solved these issues, we will see but right now if I had a solid One X without problems, I wouldn't buy One X+. If I had GS3, I would still buy it because missed Sense as I'm using GN right now.

For me it was easy to chose the X+ cause i was allowed, to swap my x instead.. I just can say it feels a lot better, it seams it is perfectly built. The speaker is so much better! And the back feels real good with this Rubber coat. It isnt, slippy anymore so less drops will happen. HTC did a real quality move this time!

Having used the HTC Desire HD (Also known as Sensation) on TMobile UK. I really like the design and reliability of HTC devices. Looking forward to see how this device stacks up. I do like that JB is included out-of-the-box. AT&T is releasing it in the USA but I hope TMobile now called EE will release it soon

I just sold my S3, what phone do you suggest? I was thinking of the Xperia T, but the S4 chip doesn't seem too great and I don't like the design, they don't sell the Nexus 4 here, the Note 2 looks good but it's too similar to the S3, the OneX+ seems to have bad battery life.

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.

I could get the Asus Padfone 2 for the same price as the Note 2, but without the tablet. It looks nice, but not many people have it!
Where are you from? I'm sure you could import the N4?
I would pre-order Sony Xperia Z . It looks very good and premium, hardware is very good and Sony care about dev community.

Rumours are that Android 5.0 will come in May/June. Since Sony provides needed sources, I guess SGS4 users will wait longer for stable build than Xperia Z users..

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've been loving my Mega for the last two weeks. Everybody gathers around to marvel at the sheer size of it.....and the phone lol. Anyway, I was at the barbershop yesterday showing it off and then this dude walks in minding his own business and pulls out I think he said a Sony something like Ultra? He said it wasn't available in the US but it had sim card slots etc. Can somebody pleeeeeeeease tell me what kind of phone it could've been. It was bigger than my Mega!
Possibly this, only slightly bigger screen though http://www.sony.com.au/product/xperia+z+ultra

Check Mega vs Ultra photo quality on GSMarena and the Ultra's photo quality is bad.
There's another consideration to be made, battery life. I know the Z Ultra has better specs than the Mega, but 1080p screen, Snapdragon 800, Triluminous, etc, etc, don't make the Z Ultra last as much as the Mega, even with a 3,000 mAh battery, and make the phone hotter.
Just to share with you guys!

I really wanted a waterproof (resistant) phone, but the Mega was too good to miss, I will just take the old S2 in a ziplock bag when I need it.
The Xperia Z Ultra is ginormous!! I compared it to my Mega 6.3 and the bezel is just too much! Nice that it's waterproof though but I'll never have a Sony again as they always seem to develop faults. Actually, only yesterday my friend's Xperia S shut down and now won't switch on for neither love nor money.
Stick with Samsung.
Oh wow. Thanks for all the feedback yall. The sting has actually faded away already. Just hopefully he won't be in the barbershop the same time I am ever again lol.
Xperia Z ultra doesn't have a removable batt or expandable storage. FAIL...
Although both phones are huge, I believe the Mega feels better on the hand. The Sony has sharp edges which makes it feel like a brick. I also felt that way in a review in YouTube where they were explain the comparison of both phones,however Ill stick with Samsung. WE JUST NEED ROOT!!!!!

Pretty much this. Note 3 if you want the S-Pen or the Ultra if you want the "waterproofness" (funny looking word, but it is indeed a word ) and build quality.
Build quality is better on xzu battery isn't bad. But no flash. And not sure if note 3 has ir blaster but xzu doesn't which is annoying.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
I just sold my Note 3 to get the Ultra last week. For indoor use, the Note 3 camera kinda sucks. Battery life is so-so, only lasts about a day. Build quality on Note 3 feels cheap compared to Ultra. I was never in love with Note 3, it's really just the same old plastic Samsung phone with Touchwiz.
If you have 2 hours, you can see the videos from Erica Griffin. She goes into everyday usage of both phones. In the end she moved from the Ultra to the Note 3. Here are the links:

Well considering her size...even the Note 3 could feel way big huge for her.

It's her preferences ofc, plus if you look at her impression about xzu, it is clear that she likes xzu as her daily driver before going with note 3. And plus who doesn't love a new more expensive gadget hey? yeah the note 3 experience is a bit more complete (sans the real estate of the screen that xzu offered which she like the most about xzu) but that doesn't mean that xzu is a loser compared to note 3, no, far from it. It's just that they were built for different speciality.

I would change my Ultra for the next ultra and nothing else. Every time I see a Note 3 or someone holding it I can't seem to figure out if it's really a Note 3 or a Note 2 or a GS4. It just seems the same phone with some new tweaks is all.
Don't misunderstand me, I had a GS3 and loved it, and last year you could spot a GS3 right away, people here had an iPhone, or a GS3.
With the Ultra you stand out from the crowd, and not only for the sheer size, but also for everything else.
Somebody might mock you for the lack of flash or for the impossibility of changing batteries, but deep down you see most people love it and envy your big toy.
But, more importantly, it's a fantastic beast, it doesn't do anything slowly, it simply works and the stock ROM is the most beautiful I've ever tried.
My 2 cents.

One tip though. Call them when they're working on it. My service center has anew online log of what they've done, and I also knew which day they were going to work on it, but I didn't call them to say that they had to swap the display, so I'm blaming myself a little. Don't trust them to actually do what they are supposed to do.

@paulotex Oh god Erica do you see her hand's an iphone is bigger for those if you give her an iphone and a nokia 1100 she will jump nokia to fit her size ....... she just foolin around.........
im a very sporty person, what made me get the note is when during the summer i will be jogging alot and riding my bike.. i figured this wouldn't be possible so i got the note 3. However if someone here can convince me that can happen without a problem i may be switching over because i love large screens =)
I've had both and I prefer the xperia ultra. I watch a lot of media on my phone so I went with the bigger screen. Not a fan if touchwiz either having the gpe ROM for the ultra was another reason. The only thing is don't expect to take it to the gym or anything.

Well, I skate a lot as I play hockey and I got a tiny LG Thrill 3D phone (just wanted a $ 50 cheapo) for the Ice Rink because the Ultra is too big but to be honest, even the Note 2 was hard to deal with when skating because I was compromising my crossovers etc since I had the phone in my front pocket.
But is I was jogging or on a bike, I would think it is easier to manage as you got more places where to keep it without thinking that if you slip like on the ice you can destroy it.
Not sure man but I would go back to Xperia in my very biased opinion
