I have Motorola Moto Pure andorid phone and I would like to upgrade bigger screen size and found that Xperia XA Ultra for 6" and Xiaomi Mi Max 6.4". But Mi Max is too big for my hand and Xperia XA Ultra is looking nice. When I was reading review, Q&As from gsmarena, some said it's good but most are negative feedback. The price is AU$299 inc free postage in Australia Sony website, so I was really tempting to buy one, could you please suggest me that I should go ahead to buy Xperia XA Ultra. I mostly use phone for emails, browser, facebook, ebay, gumtree, etc, and no gaming at all. Mi Max is a killer for Xperia XA Ultra but too big, thanks in advance.

Take no notice of all the samsuck sponsored reviews on the Internet. My xa F3111 is absolutely faultless and has been since July nothing like any of the reviews
Sent from my Xperia XA using XDA Labs
Most negative feedback are from whiners who haven't even touched the phone. It's popular to hate on Sony right now. I've had mine since July without any problems. It's not the quickest phone nor best battery life but it's good at what it does. The screen is gorgeous to look at and can be very bright. The camera is very good also. I have a Mi Max too but it's much bigger and cumbersome to take with you. However its battery life is unreal. Though I very much prefer the screen quality of the XA Ultra. Sound in headphones is also better on the Sony when configured.

Thanks for your advice, Mi Max is really bigger then I thought in your photo, I like big screen that I don't use much my tablet galaxy s2, I always use my phone. Sony size is better in my hands, I saw that Mi Max was heavily discounted in one day sale in 27 Dec, but better get Sony then, have you rooted yours, cheers
Is it true that you can't send photos by viber or whatsup if you saved photos in SD card, thanks.

I want to buy a new phone, I was thinking abt getn XS, but wen I saw XP, I was surprised by its look, its awesome design and looks like a polished product.
I want to know opinion of other XS, XP users......
Well in terms of power and storage the obvious answer is no.
Looks wise the P might just have the edge with the aluminum body. Not that much difference in size between the two either but I haven't played with one yet I have just seen a couple of comparison videos.
Cannot comment on the WhiteMagic screen either as I haven't seen a physical device yet. What I can say is the screen on the S is fantastic and makes you feel all warm inside when looking at it.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
In my opinion,
S is better hardware wise no.
Design , I personally prefer P. Mainly because of the aluminium body looks and feels more premium and no USB flap. I know many say that the flap isn't that fragile but I just feels so
If you prefer better hardware, go for S, else otherwise.

EDIT: Charger is the EP850
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Think I have under estimated the Xperia P somewhat.
I have been playing with the black version for around 3 hours now and its a little pocket rocket. The design and feel is very satisfying, feels premium. The screen is fantastic, very bright, crisp and clear. Had a test in the sun and set screen brightness to automatic (yes it has automatic or manual control, as well as a power saver option) all text and colours are still very easy to see. You now press the icons on the transparent bar for home, back and settings, back button does not suffer like the S, one tap and responds. I have removed the widgets on the home screens and set basic stuff up that I use and have no lag whilst switching screens, app tray opens almost instantly, apps open in very good time, installing apps seems faster than on my S. In the box is the EP850 fast charger.
This is just a very quick analysis so far and will add more as and when I find more interesting bits. Needless to say I am very tempted to sell my Xperia S and use the P as my daily driver.
EDIT: After using this device for over a day I can truly say it is outstanding. To the point that my Xperia S is being sold and this is now my main device
The Xperia P comes with more notification and ringtones so I have zipped them.

Xperia S would be a better phone.

For me camera and big storage is first thing in my mind, loved satio 12mpx, and wanted android with 12mpx (arc previously)...
Also big screen is one of the required stuff...but i really want aluminium body...
So in the end i say for me that xperia s is better phone

you need a phone can play ps2 or render 3d mark ??
I don't know why people always annoy about quadcore even they just use it for call, sms, music, web?
game ? how many time you can play a strong game on phone ? 3, 4 or 5 hours ? and what game dual core can't play on phone ?
I think Sony know what to do ....
Xperia acro s
12MP camera and much faster, i think you should get the acro s.
APGalaxy
Arco S is just too Awesome......!
and no more GLONASS support in xperia go anymore, so I think I stay with my active
Sprinter
Water and dust resistance
The Xperia acro S has only P55 and IP57 ratings for dust/water resistance.
However Go and Active have IP67. That's quite important.
What means IP67?
6=Dust tight. No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact.
7=Immersion up to 1 m. Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion).
but IP 57
5=Dust protected Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact.
So how come - if "Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented" how it's submergeble?
Dust can come thru the joints, but water not?
So I'm happy with my Active!

They are both IP67 certified. Or at least that's what GSMarena says.
The only thing that baffles me is the fact that they dont use Dragontail glass. Even though I always use screen protectors it's nice to know the glass wont break that easily...
Although the Active seems somewhat small for my big hands, i dont think i could live without the strap it has. It's just priceless.
I would not go for the Go though... the 512mb of RAM seem restricting somehow...
Only the xeperia go is IP67 certified but it is not only missing the Dragontail glass but also the GLONASS receiver. And still the same small resolution and only 512MB Ram. So this doesn't look like a successor to the active for me...
acro s looks much better to me, but I am afraid it is too big and I don't no if it resist 2h of biking through the rain (and if it will be available in Germany)

Yep, this is my 2nd Go phone and it too has a nasy light bleed issue under certain angles. Feel free the post your photos of screen so everyone can compare. Looks like Sony didn't care to much about quality on the Go phones. My X10 Mini pro didn't have this defect.

My 2nd Xperia Go
I returned my first phone since the seller too thought it was a defect. But with the 2nd phone coming in like this, I think it's just the way it is. I purchase this 2nd one from a different seller in the US. Both was purchased on Amazon.
Its been a long time device,but your the first to notice it....ask some1 that has same device,maybe itll loosen things up if its really normal,
Sony Xperia P LT22i
I have the same issue on my Xperia U. There are light leaks from both side of the screen. I sent it to the service and they said it's normal. Actually they didn't say anything, they've just returned my phone. It is an unacceptable fault from company like Sony. I guess, We had to deal with that kind of problems when it's comes to choosing a low-end device. In that case, a nearly high-end device like you have. Because most of the phone manufactures don't care about build quality when it is comes to low-end devices.

Wow, so it's also affecting other Sony models. Sony needs to step it up. Because ever since they dropped Ericsson, their quality seems to be going down hill. Seems like they trying to rush with all these new phones coming out.
By Sony not giving a rats ass about quality, it's no wonder Samsung, LG, HTC and even Motorola has a better reputation than Sony. My next phone won't be a Sony that's for sure. Heck, I might as well get the Meizu instead.
My old school Sony Walkman didn't have these light leaks. The camera on that phone takes faster and better pictures than my X10 mini. Also, that phone has a built in "phone recorder".
Not sure why Sony stopped including the recorder.
Mine's fine. And I haven't been easy on this thing.

Who in their right mind would buy a phone over about 5.5 in, any bigger and you look like a twat with it to tour ear
You know, I'd love the bigger screen, and those specs make it rival the Z Ultra. It's appearance also seems nice, though I've never heard of Hisense, so I have no clue about their build quality.
But... It's coming out in the Summer with those specs. What would roughly be a full year after the Z Ultra. By that point I'm hoping we either have or are hearing about (Depending on if we have a new chipset out that makes it worth the upgrade) a Z Ultra Refresh. Plus, the bezels on that thing look worse than the Z Ultra's- If people are complaining about those bezels now, this won't be drawing any support.
All that, and we haven't been told how big the screen is, which is arguably the sole draw of the Z Ultra.
Basically, unless it's hella cheap or is basically a nerd phone's dream (Something like 64GB internal storage AND an micro SD card slot) with a couple of other bells and whistles, I don't see this being a competition for the Z Ultra when it gets released.
Looked quite nice until I saw some of the images showing quite a gap between the plastic top (looks like aluminium) and the glass.
Then continuing to view the other images it looks like an old phone. Not that its worn, but that its dated. Like it should have been released last year.
Im still banking on the Z2 Ultra. Hoping it will have the issues ironed out. Namely the build, and components improved.
DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
Hisense is just one of dump Chinese phone producers in China. Their phones have bad quality and services. The phone comes with Android 4.2, maybe you won't get update to 4.4 for rest of your life. Since the user group is small, there is rarely custom roms and do not even think of CM.
Who? Those that want screens bigger than 5.5 and are secure enough not to give a f**k what other people think when talking on them.

Wasn't aware of that if it's truly the Hisense product history.
The device will be released by Sliver in the US and with 4.4 according to reps at CES.
Hardest thing would be leaving this hardware...which is the classiest thing in the industry.
And I agree...banking on the Ultra2 can't be a bad strategy. Wonder about overall sales tho, given the small niche this size device serves, and if it'd prompt Sony to even release an Ultra2.

I really don't mind big phones that's why I bought the ultra. but if this phone do not offers nothing better then the ultra but a bigger screen.... no I don't think so. but if it offers good specs then i'll see.

The Z4 Ultra will reportedly be adorned with a 5.9-inch Triluminos display. It will also carry the Snapdragon 805 chipset and 4GB of RAM , the camera will be 16MP with dual LED flash. It is expected to measure a significantly thin 5.7mm.
http://www.arabianbusiness.com/leaked-sony-xperia-z4-z4-ultra-specs-573033.html
i hope they don't make the screen smaller than 6.4
waiting for the fantastic z4 ultra
if the z4 ultra picture it this i will full in love with it
Quite confident that image is inauthentic. I don't think Sony will suddenly go from the biggest bezels in the industry (aside from iPhone and HTC) to having a higher screen to body ratio than any other phone in existence, particularly since they didn't even lessen the bezels on the behemoth Z Ultra.
I'm sorry but that looks fake as. Looks like some keen fan's concept sketch.
It was 100% fake
That was just a mockup by other ppl & it won't be 5.9" & not to be so thin.
I agree. And I don't think they reduce the number of icons on the homescreens from 6 to 4, that doesn't make sense. Complete fake.
Although fake it looks awesome, imagine the Z4 Ultra actually having bezels so thin.
Early next month we'll get the full information and specification for the Z4 & Z4 Ultra anyway.
Be patient guys. :laugh:
As much as I'd LOVE to see the Z4 Ultra look that awesome, I don't see it happening either. Plus, the rumors I've heard are that the screen is supposed to be 6.2" 2K display with a S810 SOC with 4gb of RAM. This is the first time I've heard anything about a 5.9" with a S805. I'll be VERY disappointed if those specs are true.

sony with thin bezels? I don't think so
if it was real it would be too small anyway. would feel like a downgrade to me

Sony would never make the logo to be so small so that's definitely fake. According to various sources it all points to 6.4 inch instead of 5.9
