Hello friends,
I own a Xperia Arc S and would like to upgrade. But not shure whether to get ion or xperia s
Xperia S have good ROM support over here but kinda looks thick compared to Ion maybe coz of curved shape.(after owning arc s everything seems to look fat )
Xperia Ion has bad ROM support but looks are better than Xperia S ( according to me)
So i need your help guys in deciding.
I went through many threads but couldnt find my answers.
Any help is appreciated
Thank You

Go for Ion :good: and I'll happily welcome you to the family bro
and also,the ion is lacking of custom ROM and custom kernel because most of the Xperia ion user have the at&t version (Lt28at),some got Rogers version and international version (both are Lt28i) and some got Lt28h (without LTE,like me in my country lol xD )
thanks for replying guys...in what terms ion is better than xperia S?

what about the hardware differences?
Clearly,Xperia T is superior than Acro S...but the T have some kinda 'washed off' screen based of users comparison...Acro S does have a great waterproof,but much older spec...

Well X Acro s has snapdragon s3 processor on the other hand XT has Snapdragon s4 plus, so definitely XT has better specs , both have 1 gb ram as well as 16 gb internal storage, but T has a 13 MP camera
Sent from my LT26w using xda premium
Ill be very honest. I have a ion and my wife has a T. There are no speed differences at all. Actually i prefer the ion due to not having the on screen buttons. The T does have a better speaker tho, her music sounds really nice. Otherwise even tho the T has the better processer, there no different.
Dont even talk about benchmarks as they mean nothing in day to day use and how the phone feels.
Im not familiar with the acro s....but isnt it similiar to the ion in terms of specs?

And the camera is no better than the ion and the S. Mp dont mean anything.
In fact some of my test shots showed the ion was better while other shots the t was better.
But neither proved enough difference for it to matter.
Hi Team,
I've broken my HTC One X and am considering purchasing a Sony Xperia SL. I understand that it is no longer a top of the line device, however all of the new phones that are are 4.7"+ which is too large IMO. It seems that the S has a fairly active dev team, though I'm not so keen on flashing new roms so often these days (have been using the same rom on my HTC One X for about a year). Having said all that; are there daily driver ROMs available for the SL that I can stick with for an extended period &/or how does the update roadmap for the device look; is JB likely the final update etc.
Thanks in advance,
Try Xperia sp or zr

Thanks, I'd probably consider the zr over the sp but both of these handsets are still probably a bit too big, and they don't really have the 'premium' look.
Xperia v and HTC one mini are 4.3 inch so same size as Xperia s
Sent from my heart
I would recommend Xperia V but not SP (the 0.2 Ghz difference doesn't make so much difference, u can overclock if u plan to unlock bl and modify the phone with flashtool. The camera on XV is much better too)
Xperia V is even cheaper than Xperia S/SL in Hong Kong now (where i live)
The only thing that make V weaker is the 0.3mp front camera, while XS/SL got 1.3mp (SP seems got 0.3mp too, not sure)
Even XSL got 1.7Ghz cpu, the XV will be still much faster becoz the CPU on XV is snapdragon s4 but the CPU on XS is snapdragon s3
(s3 actually isn't that bad, it is just supposed to be a bit slower. but s3 actually overheat so much which will make it very laggy, s4 is much cooler)
but if u got money, XZ/XZR ofcoz
Xperia SL - a good choice
IMO xperia SL is a good choice considering the specs it has got that still many latest phones lack behind easily...
12mp camera, very nice screen and screen quality, hdmi port, 32gb inbuilt memory to list a few...
plus speaking of the developer support it has got a great developer support...
already got JB 4.3 :laugh:
Please give me a link for xperia sl jb 4.3 rom download

now that you mention it, yes it does have bluish tint lens... but its not really the blue tint thats bothering me, I know I shouldn't expect more since its not even an Exmor RS and not even somewhat flagship, but I did some comparison with a Huawei Y300 and I really think the Y300 did better in the camera department... :/... Maybe I should've gotten the Xperia L(but then I wouldn't have the awesome battery life as with M)

Well yeah, while the Xperia L has a 8Mpx sensor, according to reviews, photos taken with Xperia M's camera were better than Xperia L's. Better as in quality when zoomed. The edge had a little blurring in Xperia L.
Ref: http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/08/26/whats-the-difference-between-the-sony-xperia-m-xperia-l-2/
I've actually read that article (and even commented on it). Well the L probably was better in low light. I'll just have to get over it
Xperia M Camera not Exmor RS, shoting low light is bad, camera is blue...........

While visiting family over Christmas I had a lot of time to relax and be merry. But being away from my usual assortment of computers and gadgets that keep me occupied, I also had a lot of time with not much to do.
I also noticed that Xperia M forums are really quiet, so after our 'traditional' fried fish and potato salad I used nothing but my Nexus tablet to create a very basic CyanogenMod repo.
I quickly learnt that doing dev work on a tablet is really hard. I was just about able to create a few basic files and copy over content I know will be the same on my other Xperia device.
However if I'm to continue, I need to know how many of you want this. Xperia M has all the right hardware to run Android 4.4 KitKat, but if nobody uses this phone, then why bother?
P.S. Don't forget the poll above!!
This would be good for devs to start and produce custom Roms as there is very little development, yes there are kernels available but need a good base and cyanogen mod would be fantastic and I'm pretty sure all users of the M would really appreciate it I know I would and 4.4 would be fantastic

I have Xperia M for a few days now, and it would be great to have 4.4 on Xperia M.
So what are you waiting for?
:fingers-crossed:
That's typical, I ask something just as someone posts a ROM
It's unclear to me why this phone belongs to low activity devices.
It's a very nice budget phone that offers alot for the price.
I am one of those that would very much like to see CM on XM.

Nah, I was thinking of buying a cheap phone for development and Xperia M seemed unloved when I posted.
I'll probably now wait to see what 2014 brings, perhaps I'll get the rumoured Xperia E2, assuming it is still qcom and not mediatek.
Bro pls consider it....its not bad phone....also it most popular among all Sony budget phones even when it is last one to be launched(see survey on xperia blog)
Pls dude if u plan get this phone....WE HAVE NO DEVELOPERS....:crying: :banghead:

Sony will have a big presentation at CES, which is less than a week away. We'll soon see if there is anything on the horizon.
If the Xperia E2 does turn out to be MediaTek, and no other Qualcomm based devices get announced, then I'll likely stick with Xperia M, probably the dual SIM version. I prefer how it looks compared to Xperia L, which is the same price as M here.

CyanogenMod for Xperia M
I would love to see CyanogenMod on Xperia M as I previously owned the Arc S and was running it from CM10 through to the recent CM11 that was being released for the device.
Im also interested in helping develop the rom for the device as I own 2 Xperia M's one for everyday while the other is for development purposes so im not worried if it gets bricked and would like to join anyone else willing to bring CyanogenMod to our devices and get more people interested in the power of this phone

Mobile World Congress is at the end of next month. I believe the Xperia E was released in March 2013, so we should see the Xperia E1 by March 2014 this year.
After that it all comes down to specs and price. My assumption is that Xperia E will not have better specs than Xperia M, but I think they will be very close.
I predict the Xperia E1 will have the following specs:
Snapdragon 200 chipset, with Adreno 302 GPU - dual core msm8x10 or quad core msm8x12
512mb RAM (probable) or 1024mb RAM (hopeful)
Android 4.3, with an upgrade to Android 4.4
Resolution of 480x320 (probable) or 854x480 (hopeful)
The most important spec will be the processor, I want something compatible with Android 4.4. The above chips are brand new, they have support for Android 4.3 and above, I didn't see any Android 4.2 support on CodeAurora Forums.
If it comes with anything MediaTek, I will not buy due to lack of available source code. If it comes with the older Snapdragon S4 based on msm8x25 or msm8x25Q, I will not buy as it will only ever have Android 4.1, support for its Adreno 203 GPU was dropped from Android 4.2 due to missing hardware functionality.
The other specs I'm not too worried about, but obviously the higher the specs the better.
After all that it then comes down to the price difference between the Xperia E1 dual and the Xperia M dual. I assume the Xperia E1 will be cheaper, but if I happen to find a really good deal on a discounted Xperia M, I might be tempted by it, though I would prefer to work on the new msm8x1x chips...
