I agree in look and screen X8 is better than Galaxy Y. Camera is not better in X8. Being a X8 user I will suggest Galaxy Y

I have X8 and my friend bought Galaxy Y few days ago and can say that Galaxy is faster than X8.I mean games don't stuck and everything is smooth maybe beacuse my X8 is on GingerXperia v22 and stock kernel

My friend Bought Y month ago
it's very good but
its screen is really suck
and u could easily say that it has no camera><

i prefer x8 ..
galaxy y = stock gingerbread . 830Mhz arm6 . 2mp camera . qvga video recording . 240 x 320 screen resolution . bluetooth 3.0
xperia x8 = stock eclair . 600 mhz arm6 . 3.15 mp . vga video recording . 320 x 480 screen resolution . bluetooth 2.1

If I were you, I would choose X8

Y's screen's sucks

well x8 has an awesome community which Y fail to have ...

Joking, man? Maybe Y is a lil' bit faster as stock but how can anyone not puke when seeing Y's screen? And I think the X8 can be faster with Kuyadroid+Alfs v6+ [email protected] Mhz.

And if you buy x8 check the number behind the battery if it's 11w29++ don't unlock bootloader it will kill your phone

X8
- 600Mhz. CPU
- 200Mhz. GPU Adreno
- 16M HVGA screen
- 320x480
- VGA recording
Galaxy Y
- 800Mhz. CPU
- Higher RAM
As I can see X8 has the advantage with the GPU... I have galaxy Y and yes it is really responsive compared to stock X8 since galaxy Y has higher RAM but the loss of GPU and lower screen resolution makes it lesser on X8

as i said
i like x8 best^^

x8 s the bst for me..
no gpu means no hd games..
so i prefer x8

i also Prefer to Xperia X8 is awesome , can added Bravia Engine, Awesome xD.

I have an X8 but i think i will buy a Galaxy Y because the better performance.

Better performance??? Galaxy Y have just 2MP camera?
I like camera more then performance!

tell you what. you'll get performance - i can't argue with that - but there's 3 things you'll lose:
1. screen resolution
2. awesome dev support
3. an X8
the choice is up to you.

you could sell your X8 and take a hTC Desire C or xperia mini/ray/live with walkman.

[Q] Optimus Black vs Samsung galaxy S1 I9000

I have the possibility to exchange the Optimus black with Galaxy S i9000. What do you think,should I make the deal?

hhmmm....let me seee....
OB...............................................SGS
5MP + Flash.................................Just 5MP without flash
430 MB of RAM.............................380MB of RAM
SGX 530 GPU...............................SGX 540 GPU
Official ICS....................................No Official ICS
inly FEW active development..........Strong develoment and community
total score : 3 total score : 2
i know there is other factor to choose one of them....but actually, I like OB, camera and flash is my main priority(I have galaxy ace before OB, and I buy OB because of 720p videos), and plain offocial ICS with my own tweaks is enough for me.....
but ultra stable CM 9 & 10 and SGX 540 sound very appelaing to me....but 380MB RAM???? come on??!!!......actually, I am as confuse as you......

I'm considering the exchange because 3d games(GTA,Asphalt 7 etc) on OB don't work to smooth.I guess on Galaxy S I won't have problems ,because of the better gpu sgx540.

Lol... Samsung Galaxy S1 is a piece of sh*t.. I remember that I sent an app to my friend and his phone locked .. he had to remove the battery.. on my OB this never happened.
And OB has flash, S1 doesnt` have.
I just say NO .

the RAM, will not enough to play most HD games, just like OB

if you don't need camera flash, go for it

Ob is better...
But not in the development way...

Looking for a new phone - which candidate is the best?

Hello all.
First - sorry if i post a dump post in a wrong place. I hope it's okay .
Second - i'm considering buying a new phone. New = another one, not brand new, but used (it's cheaper this way .
I have 2 candidates for now:
Sony Xperia J
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
How do you people think, which phone is a better choice in the means of performance, quality and future development on xda ?
I ask for opinions like advantages/drawbacks, not "i like samsung, so buy samsung".
In this price range there are also: Xperia Miro/Tipo, Xperia U, HTC Rhyme, Desire C.
So, how do you people think ?

Helo bro...first of all i would recommend u dat u dont go xperia j. The reason is dat the processor is 1ghz and runs wid the gpu of adreno 200 which our x8 runs on. Secondly the midranged smartphone dat i would recommend is xperia u..it runs on dual core 1 ghz processor the same u would find in xperia p...the ram is also friendly 512mb... Lastly i think it depends on ur taste per se...every ones view is different..
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for a quick reply! I didn't know that U has dual core processor - i thought it's worse, because it has 'only 1ghz' and some stuff worse comparing to xperia J.
I'm waiting for next recommendations, this was a nice one!

I recommend Xperia U too.
But with U you actually should know these facts:
1-low battery backup ,comes with 1350 mah battery which can't feed your large screen & thirsty dual core processor. (White magic LCD can save 70% energy some times but it's not enough)
2- 12 gb user available memory which can be extended by sdcard. (U can use USB flash disk but it hard to handle & drains more power)
If don't play with your phone it's a perfect phone, stylish(won some rewards for design of 2012 phones)
I don't recommend galaxy advanced cause it's outdated & no official ics rom(+looking like s##t)
Think about Xperia P too
compare others at gsmarena.com
Sent From My BEAST , I mean X8

Hmm, 12gb is almost too much space for me, so it's not a problem!
And if the battery will last for at least 20h of using (1 day) this will be enough for me too.
I don't watch movies on phone and ocassionaly listen to some music or play a game, but mostly i use it to browse the web etc.
I will take a look at Xperia P.
Thanks! More replays are still very welcome!

Dont go for samsung galaxy s plus . my father has one and feels very cheap in hand the materials are cheap plastic.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I'm currently thinking about the Xperia P. I thought Xperia U has a micro-sd card slot but i was wrong - and 4gb of storage withoth the possibility to extend it is a bit too little...
Xperia P is a little to expensive, though. I'll try to find it as cheap as possible, maybe i'll make it
Thanks for comments and don't hasitate to post another ones
EDIT:
i've ordered Sony Xperia U today! I will have to deal with 4gb only, but i hope i won't suffer too much . thanks for all the suggestions. cheers !
This thread can be closed, thanks!

Upgrade from galaxy s to S4

Hi guys,
i would say that i am very happy with samsung s i9000 as i could do most tasks with ease and now my upgrade is due and i am confuse whether i should go for upgrade or not by paying extra 250 to 400 pounds. I have used s2 as well but to be honest i did like s 1 more and did not find any difference between single and dual core
Do these dual/quad cores or 1/2 gb RAM in s3/s4 make any significant difference ? or its just marketting tactics ? do s3/s4 has any advantage over s1 if you dont play any 3d games on mobile ?
thanks

Hi, on s3 s4 its 1 /2gb ram this makes the phone lag less and run smoother onjellybean as it is meant for jellybean whereas in our s1 it lags on jellbean as it meant for gingerbread........and quad core means more process can run and the cpu can take more load.....

yea but there are many jelly bean custom ROMS for S which dont lags at all and run smoothly and i mean we used to have 512 MB/1GB RAM in old desktop which was doing much more multitasking than our phone and was running ok
I understand that quad core or 2GB RAM could make difference for HD/3d games but do we really need quad core processor or 2GB RAM for internet surfing , email or watching videos on youtube etc
they just upgarde processor and ram and charge 4 time more than what galaxy s cost.

I'd upgrade to any phone with atleast 1gb ram and dual core(or more) setup any day! our phones are at the limits now.sgs lags like anything.android ain't slimming down.its resource hungry/less optimisation. we get tonnes of features in return thou.
if u can afford go for s4/HTC/sony or other phone as long as there's xda/community support.big deal breaker for me;developer support.

U do for multitasking!! for u i recomend s2!!

Upgrade to s4 or don't upgrade at all. Or wait to see what sound s4 comes with.

Yes, for me also is sound and qualitiy of soundrecording important wether I choose a new phone or not.
I know what I have with my SGS9000.
I don't know how all the other new phone do the sound.
No one ever wrote about the sound recording qualities of up-to-date phone, yet.

1. alright so my antutu score is 23400
2. the screen is quite pleasant even in the sun so id rate it at a 7-8 viewing angles dont matter much since im always in front of the phone not lying down beside it
3. I havent experienced any problems with the xperia sp
4. i would re pick the sp because at the time there was nothing better up till recently i havent seen anything to match it
5. the sp is one of the best phones for gaming because it has the same gpu as most 2013 flagships minus the 1080p display hence it has a very high frame rate, it has one of the highest frame rates for any phone something around 49 fps

thats an incredible device , i never expected a mid-range phone from sony could beat most of 2012 - 2013 flagships. thats just unbeliveable , so whats the contrast of these antutu scores? its gained by the update to 4.3 or its a special version of phone?

I'm on stock 4.3 the upgrade added only about 1-2 thousand more points, not much

what do you think about those low scores from SP? are there diffrent types of xperia sp? :-/

Different types with lte or not, but the firmware, kernel and tweaks are special for the score.

thumbs up for this wonderful product:thumbup::thumbup:
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk 2

In AnTuTu X my score is 34217

the SP is a monster for a midranger, it even beats some flagships of the same time, Nexus 4, S3, Xperia Z, all thanks to that gpu and fast 1.7 ghz processor, in vellamo it beat out the note 3 and z ultra

yea it sounds great , if the screen was better ,i wont doubt to choose sp , but 4.6 is small for me (plus in screen navigation-bar which reduces acuall size), my main perpose is not performance , i think output is more important than performance cause you get a device to make use of it & we should attention to this harmony , so i prefer to get sth with better screen & ips panel(ips is very important)
but "MAYBE" i choose this device if the tft screen was good enough in first look

With 4.1.2 is a great choice, very competitive price on internet than other top product! But with 4.3 is a bad buy

1gb but 4.3 screwed it up i only have like 250 mb avail, with 4.1.2 i had 600+

Buy ZR instead. It's only a little more expensive.
SP is a good phone. But 4.3 seems buggy.

IMHO...
For SP, I think it's a good choice (even for movies and games) for the budget conscious
I stayed away from 4.3 and after trying customised rom, is back with 254, rooted.
Whatever niceties I need - a launcher should help, without the problems associated with 4.3, and without much drain on the system

Benchmarks do not say anything about the real feel and performance of a device. To me it is important that a device feels quick and stable and this in combination with the low price did it for me.
