Hayabusa spec + xperia s design = epic!!!

Damn, I dunno what to get now! S3 or Hayabusa!!! I like the Qualcomm S4s better than quad-cores. I still believe quads are too much for now and dual-cores on 28nm are far more energy efficient.

Ohhhhh men..... what are you doing Sony and Samsung..... you're making my headache..

keep dreamin')
you know why e.g. titan II suxx? Cheap optics, huge amount of mpx, lach of experience
taking into consideration cooperation with sony, sony won't let this phone to be better than xperia's family

the arc actually had a very good camera when compared to the other single cores, the xperia s had a better edge in megapixel count when compared to other dual cores (although MP is not everything) so I don't see a reason why they can't make a good camera since they actually have cybershot. - which is good. had a 5MP cybershot camera once, still beats the hell out of 8MP smartphones.

I know se or se if you prefer, can make a good camera. But why should they do that? Shooting its own foot?
They downgraded ray's camera in favor of arc.

Even though Android has better specs but iPhone has its place. Its easy, simple and small. Can't carry a phone in my front pocket always.

I see this all the time but what isn't easy and simple on android? You can't carry android phones in the front pocket?

I have a epic 4g touch and it fits snuggly in my pocket with its middling (used to be large lol) 4.52" screen

R.I.P to almost every phone period! if this is true, with the exception of one or two phones... Could this possibly be the first complete phone we all were looking for? The only other phone that would beat this phone would be the upcoming Motorola atrix 3 which is said to have Ridiculous specs and I am not a fanboy I go by the truth and facts... The Atrix 3 is said to have 4.3 in display, quadcore processor, 10mp camera, and ok wait for it........a 3300 mAh battery!! yes the same as the droid Razr Maxx wow Sony and Motorola definently For the winn... As far as the galaxy s3?? I feel sorry for the people that are buying it right now and about two months later they are gonna see phones that will demolish it!! Iphone 5 might even be better than the s3...samsung blew it with there flag ship this time...

In terms of camera, yes you are right. But would I trade it with a crappy os? No.

Nokia 808, no thanks. If I want a good camera, I will just go and buy a camera

42. -RVM- posted on 27 Apr 2012, 09:31 2 2

Well, but Belle FP1 on 808 isn't a crappy OS. The only downside is that it doesn't have as much applications as Android. But i prefer to have the best camera on smartphone available, and great video and sound recording than to have even more apps.

18. kshell1 posted on 27 Apr 2012, 06:49 0 2

They could, they just don't typically do printer, scanners,cd's, and monitors because they don't have room for so many usb ports, you want that functionality buy a tab

Haha, you know what?
SE K750 had a PRINT OVER BLUETOOTH option for photos!

you are right a desktop with the same specs will blow the smartphone out of the water the fastest phone can only load the pa home page in what 30 seconds+ sorry that is NOT FAST when my 4 year old dell can do it in less than 5 seconds another thing to remember is the processors and ram they use are not desktop grade nor do any use any kind of graphics cards

41. dmn666 posted on 27 Apr 2012, 09:30 2 1

Yep....these are ARM processors, my friend - performance is ridiculously weak compared to x86 based intel/amd PC processors. But they are way less power hungry - so still better choice for cellphones and other portable devices. It's like you wanna get a lot of stuff done quickly (and eventually run out of battery charge) - you need intel processors, or you wanna take it easy on battery and do stuff slowly over 1/2 days - you need ARM. I'd love to see what Intel has to offer in the coming days - as they are working to modify their architecture for mobile applications to improve power consumption.

44. darac posted on 27 Apr 2012, 09:55 1 0

Where are you guys coming from, lol.
You have x86 on a phone already - Intel Atom(Medfield) with 1.6Ghz and 1GB RAM - it got trashed in comparison with ARM based Krait processor.

That's why I said ....in the coming days - didn't I? It was their first effort and it's actually an evolution of their atom line - which doesn't pack the actual x86 muscle (i*, core2duo, etc.)

You got it wrong - Sony Ericsson never took a real shot at U.S. market because they were traditionally, like Nokia, oriented on European and Asian market.
They are still the fourth most popular brand in Europe, all things considered, and xperias are a very common thing here.
SE was a company that lacked cohesion, efficiency and guidance, the joint venture that never really ignited properly,

But now it's a whole other ball game with Sony taking over.
They have cut the development time in half, and are giving all they got into these phones.
You see the first results of that now.

38. remixfa posted on 27 Apr 2012, 08:54 1 3

Thats not true at all. I talked to the SE reps that came through my stores. They were in talks to get the experia and/or other devices way back when, but SE and Tmobile could not come to terms with bulk pricing for their phones. SE was demanding way too much per device and Tmobile couldnt/wouldnt swing it. Most of the carriers balked at their super high price demands, which is why they are hard to find subsidized in america. They were demanding a brand premium for a phone brand no one knew/cared about. That was before even Samsung really took off with the galaxy line, so no one but apple was getting that kind of crazy pricing back then.

That was from the SE rep's mouth.

45. darac posted on 27 Apr 2012, 10:03 3 0

Well, that's odd.
SE phones in Europe were never the most expensive(that title always went to Nokias), and were, and still are, sold on every carrier.

I know that SE had three phones carried in US - Vivaz(it was destined to fail with it's resistive screen and Symbian), Xperia X10(doomed with teething plagued software), and Xperia Play(a half baked niche device that haven't had success on any market)

It makes sense unless you're talking about Xperia X1 (which was pretty expensive all over the world). Again the weird thing is their unlocked phones in the US are very reasonably priced. I mean you simply can't get a better deal with other brands. So I've always wondered why they can't get their phones subsidized here. It has something to do with SE brand as you said - I think.

Now that Ericsson part is gone and Sony has a way better brand recognition in the US - I hope to see more Sony phones being offered by the carriers.

That is just a codename.
Besides, Hayabusa is a Japanese falcon ;)

All above mentioned device will be spectacular, except for the iPhone5's limited functionality compared to those Androids.

33. Yusei posted on 27 Apr 2012, 08:05 1 0

True, first time i spent 550€ in a smartphone (XperiaS) even after 2 months they announce another flagship.

55. Chronos posted on 27 Apr 2012, 13:43 0 0

That's why it's best to only stick with one flagship series until you end up liking another flagship series even more.

65. FunkyEyez posted on 05 May 2012, 03:23 0 0

True... some keep waiting for the phone with greatest spec.. but when it come to tech we don't know where they gonna stop..so they keep on waiting and as the awaited phone is released another flagship with greater spec is announced and here goes the wait again

49. schecter7 posted on 27 Apr 2012, 11:02 1 0

Just in case you've missed it - Sony promised to replace all Xperia S units with yellowish screens. So just call them and ask for a replacement.

50. Aaron_R96 posted on 27 Apr 2012, 11:06 1 0

I had the issue but it was swapped free of charge by my carrier who presumably then just hand it back to Sony, only a very limited amount of XS's had the issue though, as did the sgs2 when it was released
