Hello,
I just want to get the opinions of all xperia users who would like to take the time to answer my question.
I currently have a samsung galaxy note and i stumbled across the xperia s via the smartwatcha and smart wireless headset pro (i have this ocd-ish problem where all of my gadgets need to have one brand primarily) and i was wondering what are the community's take on the phone?
I'll primarily be using it as a secondary phone if not become primarily as soon as i get tired of lugging my big ass Galaxy Note around.
There is just something alluring about its sharp minimalistic style not to mention having a hd bravia tv in the palm of my hand.
Anyways, back to my question: what are your general opinions of the phone? Good or bad i'd like to hear them all.
Its a good phone, I love the screen and the processor seems fast enough. My gripes with it are, I am not sure about the button placement. Also I am not a fan of the usb flap cover. The light bar is awesomeness though.
It's awesome. That's all.

It would be a great phone if it wasnt for that damn yellow tint!!
I love the phone
There's a few more threads about people on the fence with this phone around here somewhere. I imagine it may feel tiny though after lugging around a note .

i had sgs2
now i have XS
worth it ? yep
I came from a note as well although mine died
I love this phone, my only gripe is the lack of developers here on xda, most devs seem to goto Samsung or HTC. I actually don't know if that's a good or bad thing because Sony's UI is fantastic and so is the whole experience so rooting the phone isn't really worth it at this stage for me, whereas with the note I was flashing every other day and that wasn't necessarily a good thing.
I miss the big screen of the note but I sure don't miss the SAMOLED display and the bad placement of those capacitive buttons and also the power button. The other real bad thing I noticed when I came to the xperia was how badly the note handled itself under sunlight I could never make out what was displayed and had to use my other hand as shade which didn't improve it much and also adding to the already difficult handling. With the Sony there is zero problems under sunlight I was amazed. I've held the Sony directly in sunlight and still can see the screen at around 80% vision comparing to the notes 10% vision.
I paid 800AUD for the note in November and I just paid 420AUD for the xperia s just after they got released and personally it outperforms it in software and hardware.
Sony feels expensive in the hands yet its cheap, Samsung feels cheap yet its expensive.
Oh yeh one other thing I really hate is the flap covers for the USB I could understand if the phone lasted a week without charge but when you charge everyday its pointless and frustrating.

it's an amazing phone...
but in my case i a little bit disapointed because i can't root it (yet, i hope) and i can't unlock the bootloader
I love this phone. Best android phone I have used or seen. The button placement does take a little getting used to but this phone rocks otherwise. Smooth, fast and to me looks better than any other android phone.

The Xperia S is a new phone, just give it some time and more devs will come to make roms and add-ons Most of them are just waiting for the ICS update I think
But the phone is really great Also love the fact Sony will give us 4.0.4 probably instead of 4.0.3 like most devices
Considering XperiaS to be my first dual core smartphone, it does its job pretty well. Superfast processing,loads of RAM,great camera on a phone.. Unlocked Bootloader on mine.. And ICS not that far away.. What more would you want?
@All SXS owners
I'm thinking about jumping from Galaxy Nexus. I saw Xperia S in local Sony Center and fall in love with it's design and UX <3
One thing that concerns me is lack of light sensor... How do you guys manage to live without auto-brightness? (Serious question, my last 4 Androids had one)
I appreciate all your help

I got no problem without.
I got my screen brigheness on around 25% normal, and the Sony screen widget that turns it on max if needed. So i didnt even knew we lacked such a thing.

Well its a simple answer....
We don't.
Its enabled by default
A lot of people think its not there but it is and works just fine. It just doesn't adjust drastically, its more of like using a dimmer switch.

So.... Does it adjust itself when you, ale for example, go outoors or turn IT on at night? I saw that it doesn't have auto brightness option in the settings and in Sony Center was quite bright and I asssumed that for some reason Sony didn't install this feature:-(

It works just as any auto-adjust, it just isn't as drastic when it adjusts ( more adjusts in phases than the 'low light > omg my eyes!'). It adjusts how it should at night, and outside (even in the sun) it is the most visible and clear I have ever seen in a touchscreen phone, the clarity is really impressive.
I don't know why, but I guess since most people use the auto setting,they removed it? I dunno, but you can still disable it with a widget anyways, so it doesn't really matter

Thank you That's the answer I was hoping to hear I'll definitely try to get rid of Galaxy Nexus and look for this 2001 Space Odyssey monolith-like piece of great hardware
I'm patiently waiting for the c6806 but now that the galaxy note 3 is being announced and will be out early October , i might just jump ship and buy the note .Waiting for the LTE version is just painfully slow!
Build quality & the display is too small.
In the end the hardware pro's (ram, slightly higher clocking, cam) of the SGN3 are not compensating this for my requirements, as the performance of the XZU is still astonishing and i'm using my phone only for snapshots.
But your case is exactly showing the becalming situation Samsung has - people love to buy it anyway.
i almost bought the c6802 and live with the 3g connection but im pretty sure i'll be banging my head if the LTE version comes out,blaming myself that i should have waited .
LTE to me is the now technology and 3G is just not acceptable in my vocabulary .

100% agree with you in every aspects. I even if was waiting for the LTE version would never go for a Note 3. Those phone only can be compared on the performances. Size and build quality are really different.

Absolutely not.
I've seen the conferences yesterday, and both Sony and Samsung haven't entertained me.
I mean, Sony has great products but tends to lay them out without any heart at all.
On the other end, Samsung has no innovation at all, but from their point of view it seems they're presenting the Holy Grail to the public year after year.
I have an S3, which is a great device, but on the right and on the bottom the "metal" bezel cut itself for no reason at all. It is 1 year old. And I paid FULL PRICE for this. And by full I mean that it costed me almost as much as a 6833.
I don't want Samsung to fill me with bs telling me the SPen is excellent, that the battery is interchangeable, that this, that that. I already know all that.
And i don't give a damn anymore.
ZU is progression, SW2 too, hell even the SBH52 impressed me more than the N3.
I'm gonna get on board with Sony, and whenever I'll see a guy with his Note 3 I'll say "Hey man, nice phone, I hope you're happy with what you got", not feeling envious, not feeling sorry for not buying it.
Because in the end, what YOU feel with your phone matters, not that extra 0.1ghz or that 1gb of ram.
Let's face it, about 1 out of 1000 Note3 or S4 users will root or even use their device to the fullest. The rest of them will simply feel happy that they can update their Facebook status saying 'I have a Note 3! Sweet! ", until they're not happy again when their friends buy something more powerful/stylish/popular.
I prefer being a 1 percenter, with a device that makes me smile, than being a 99 one, with the regret that I could have bought something more.
But hey, that's just my 2 cents.

There are 2 face on that medal you know...
On one face, Samsung hasn't always been keen with developers, not releasing sources and all, BUT thousands of people buy those, and as a result a lot of developers choose the device they develop on based on popularity, and on the fact that developing there would be more of a challenge.
On the other face, Sony has always been open with the developer community, but their popularity has started to grow big not that long ago, so we might have on the ZU the same level of devs there are on the Z.
As a matter of fact, some of them already started (just take a look on the Android development section), and that is even before the LTE version launched.
Let's wait for UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Spain etc. all have this device on their shelves, I have big expectations.

well, after viewing the Note 3 "coming out" party yesterday, I decided I am not interested in it...
I had a note 1, and a Note 2, which was a major upgrade to the note 1.
Fantastic phone, and I was hoping the Note 3 would be a major "upgrade" as well; but, the only upgrades, CPU speed, 3 gigs of Ram, and 13 MP camera isnt going to make the experience on the Note 3 that much better than the note 2.
I've been watching the Xperia Z Ultra since it came out, and, it looks like a fantastic phone; I am a big guy, so the size doesnt scare me, but I am waiting to see which US carriers will be carrying it.
I have owned at least 50 cell phones in my life, but mysteriously, NONE of them have been Sony phones, but I think this will change in the next 30 days.
It doesnt seem like there is alot of development on this phone yet, but, since many note 2 owners feel similiar to me, I am certain that there will be a large groupl that will move to this phone, once some US carriers are announced.
The quality of this phone seems fantastic; not sure if no flash for the camera will affect picture quality, and, hopefully, easy root/bootloader unlocking is just around the corner, since the sound from that tiny speaker appears to be lousy as well, but nothing that ViperMod or a different kernel wont fix!
The main problem SGN2 had and SGN3 as per first hands on, pics and vids also seems to have is, that - even if it is already to small for me as an Note 2 user - they're not making proper use of the screen size with view to UI on stock ROM.
In the end the Note 2 was and is just a sized up Galaxy.
And 2nd market (custom roms) is not a criterion on this topic for me, because if i have to customize the the product from day 1 to meet my needs, then there's something wrong and i'll better wait for the right deal.

Another user on another forum posted that maybe a real change will be seen when all S3s end their contract.
That's true for the S4 (they sold a lot less than what they were expecting), I was expecting it and I didn't fall for that.
That's true for the N3 too, as is a specced up S4 with SPen functions.
It will sell regardless of all this thoughts, but I could bet 1 out of 5 previous N2 owners will buy this N3, and the other 4 will scout around for a better choice or wait for the N4.
That's what I was planning to do skipping the iPhone 4 for the 5 (having the 3G), but Samsung stunned me with the S3 and I jumped ship.
I waited for a big change from the S3 to the S4, but I was ready to wait for the N3 this time.
Sony stunned me since they presented the ZU, I fell in love and that's it.
The only thing that would make me love even more this device would be having a stock-Google Play Edition.
That would be AWESOME.
Last but not least for the fact that we won't need implementation for the SPen, because the screen accept pens and pencils on its own...

Pretty much agree with most posts. I've had the Note & Note 2 (using HTC One now) & the Note 3 doesn't do it for me. I really hate Touchwiz. Everything about it annoys me so I've run custom roms on all my Samsung phones. I don't use the s pen at all either so it just sits there.
I like the direction Sony are heading. I would prefer a smaller bezel but I really like the waterproof design & the minimal additions to Android.
I really don't see why Samsung are the Android leaders...

They could sell a smart ring for your toe advertising it as the next companion for the summer for getting rid of fungus because it has a 5mpx camera that scans the pavement before you set your foot on it.

Hey All,
I will be receiving my free Sony SW 2 in a few days, which was on backorder from when I bought my Xperia Z Ultra which I've since sold to move over to the Note 3. My question is which do you guys think is the better accessory to the Note 3 - the Galaxy Gear or Sony SW 2 and why? I personally am thinking of selling the SW 2 to purchase the Gear, but before I do, i'd like to know the pros and cons.
Thanks - and sorry if this has been posted prior. I searched and did not see much on this.
Cheers
The gear hasn't been brought to its full potential. I'd wait for the Google watch or the qualcomm smart watch
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
very good question !
I am looking for answer myself : )
I v got curently SW2 ,
smartwatch 2
pros:
better looking as galaxy gear
much better battery life (SW2 live for about really 3-4days!)
when you recive email you see what and who wrote to you (on G gear you only see notification and need to get phone and check)
microUSB charger (on gera you have to back to home and use special charger)
much quicker MENU on SW2 than galaxy gear
all the time you see what time is it right now (dimmer screen is on)
galaxy gear compare to SW2
pros:
better display
you can answer the phone and speak
BT4.0 on board better coverage than BT3.0
video camera
THATS ALL
probably I will try galaxy gear but I think it is no good enough than SW2 !

Received my Sony SW 2 yesterday. Haven't unboxed it but from what I can see it looks like a very nice watch. Reading the Galaxy Gear threads, it seems like there are a ton of issues with the GG, so I may hold on to my new SW 2 for a while longer and see what developes!
Thanks to all who've inputted their opinions!!
I own galaxy gear....special charger means a little box with micro usb connector. The size is.a little bit more than a zippo.lighter. The menu is a lot faster.in.the.real product and the platform for gear is getting a lot of dev attention. We have.Root. And we can.install any app from Google play. And I am sure that Samsung will.bring updates to the firmware soon. As for.mail...if you use your Samsung email.acount for Gmail you can see the.content.of. Your mail, for example. There is an app.on the Samsung store for Facebook which works great. It's a well start and.will be.better. With future software updates. P.S. 1.You can really use the.gear as a handsfree, I use that while driving and.my hand.is.on.the.weel. 2. I miss IP67. 3. Battery last at least 24 h with heavy usage and the.charging time is minimum, aprox 1 hour.

SW2 has capacative under screen button wich is a lot qiucker to navigate
ooh I forgot .. much more SW2 comfortyble to wear on it , gear is not to flexible on wrist as SW2 wich fit perfect
I dont see by now much more better feeling using galaxy gear as :
better screen AMOLED and density

You get a notification for gmail but it tells you to look at your phone. It doesn't show you the content of the gmail itself. If you use the stock email client and just use that you get to read the content.
Scribbled From My Note 3
I have the GG and I love it. Depending on what you need of course.
Here are some good things that I like
-I love checking my notification when I am in class. I don't care about emails. I get quite a lot text message and checking from watch is really useful to me.
-I also use it as headset when I don't have my bluetooth headset. Just a quick call/answer and found it to be quite good. Not for long conversation though.
-Battery life is more than decent. I can use a lot and still have about 30-40% left at the end of the night. I have no doubt it can get 24 hours battery.
-Pedometer is not so good. I don't use it since it's not accurate.
-Camera is not bad for quick pics. I take some pics of lecture, signs and it works great.
-Music control is awesome. Just wish my note 3 speaker is louder.
-Ability to install regular app through ADB is genius. I can actually install some useful app such as calculator.
Now bad things and wish they will improve
-More apps
-Water proof/Sweat Proof
-Longer battery life is always a welcome
-Notifications from all apps that I use(I don't like using every apps from samsung just to get notifications) This is a huge huge drawback IMO.
Those are my use of GG and I love it for my needs. Your mileage may vary. I hope the god of all devs from XDA find a way to hack the GG and make all the notifications pushed to GG of what user specify. This will make GG a truely fantastic device.
As title says is it the best watch right now I mean it almost has everything GPS,Sensors ,3G etc... ?
it's worth buying now or I should wait for other options?
It is the best smartphone + smart watch to me!! Others only act as smart watch..
Yes...for me anyways

I'm rocking the gear s still with my gear s2. Depending on you needs it could be the beat one. If I go cycling I only rock the gear s.
If I go for a dinner I chose the more classy s2.
If you don't mind not having all these watchfaces like on Android wear etc. It is a good choice....

The is an LG Urbane 3G... that will do stand alone, plus it has all the Android Wear apps. So if you're looking for tones of apps check it out. But the Gear S is still the best, just not that many apps, not that i want anymore... but some people like the fun of having tones to choose from.
The presentation is really boring me. Was hoping apple would shake things up, who think they have? Tempted to return the note? I'm not at all. I await the mate 10, I think that might win the phone of 2017

Definitive answer lol. Fair enough. What will they do in 2 years? They have to go straight to iPhone 11 lol. 9 will never be. Can't believe they pronounced it iPhone 10 lol
Mist definitely!! I mean, I just unboxed my Note 8 literally two hours ago, but i'm such a fanboy, that I just HAVE to have the newest, bestest things in life, even if my current device might be better than the newest bestest one that I'm jumping to. L.O.L.
No way in he*l. I'm never going back to the Apple eco system!
Try as I may, with each yearly unveiling of an Apple phone, I don't see anything that would yank me away from Android. Now I can't say the same for their accessories, because those always look cool and that wide size battery pad looks great, but the phones themselves, eh. Not enough to pull me away from Android. Especially if you compare any of those shown today with the Note8. The stylus on the Note8 is simply the best.
Taken with my note 8. This shouid answer your question I don't abandon I just add to the family lmao btw pictured g6 iPhone 7 plus s8 plus
I'm going to buy the iPhone x on day one, go straight home and put it on eBay for double the price
The cut out on the top of the X is very ugly
Wish note 8 could do 4k 60fps though....

Would be nice. Wish note had upgraded hardware, just would have differentiated it from 6 month old s8! Samsung was lazy this time. Saving money from note 7 problems?
Anyway the benchmark for iPhone x are crazy powerful, but pointless. Current android hardware is powerful enough for anything. Battery technology should be what they concentrate on from now on. And new innovations

Heck even Apple won't tell you battery size. Wtf?
iPhone 7 WOW'd me more than the X...easily the ugliest phone of the year lol. looks like a iPhone 3 with a ugly full screen. every other phone company who decide to go with edge to edge screens made a good looking phone. I would be embarrassed to walk around with that thing on my ear. plus the price tag???????damn
Just seems really silly to all of a sudden decide to switch. If someone was that much on the line about which phone, why even bother pre ordering/buying the Note 8. The iPhone still to this day can't do what I need, its why I buy android. I can appreciate it from a distance but until I can install apps from unknown sources it will always be a no go for me. Lets not forget the pen and everything that goes with that. I dont have to screw with itunes, I can manage my files like a COMPUTER. I need something versatile, not shiny and new. I probably wouldnt have gotten the Note 8 if I didnt get half off the price to own it.
Stupid top bezel, No USB C, Hit and miss Face ID with no other biometric option, crappier screen and more expensive. No thanks. If anyone wants it, they you might wanna shell out £1200 for the 256GB iPhone X as the [email protected] will eat your storage in seconds lmao.
Can't wait for my Note8
I heard that T-Mobile is doing a BOGO offer for the iPhone X, so that comes out to be $500 per phone, which isn't bad, providing one wants to get the X. Personally, I'll stay with my Note8. I really love that thing.
How would one go from the Note8 to that? That's like moving backwards.
