Xperia GX and Xperia SX announced by Sony Mobile Japan

Sony Mobile Japan has just announced two new handsets, the high-end Xperia GX and medium end Xperia SX. The Xperia GX looks like the update to the Xperia arc and we would expect at least this model to launch in the western markets. The Xperia GX was previously using the codename ‘Mint’. The Sony LT29i ‘Hayabusa’ will be the same as the Xperia GX without LTE functionality.

When I saw Xperia GX, I fall in love!
I've never really liked Xperia s design.
So it looks good that sony has made a different design (something similar Arc)

I want a GX. It looks lush.

Any idea whether it will come to other country except japan? I dont want this to end up like xperia acro

Xperia GX making me drool haha. it looks a bit like xperia S imo like a mixture of xperia arc and xperia s. but that 13mp cam looks so awesome :> plus the 16gb internal mem

Just in Japan, not comes in Europe yet

Looks good, but on-screen buttons are a no for me...

I love the fact that Xperia GX looks similar to my Arc S

Good news
People talking about the Xperia GX was previously using the codename ‘Mint’.
The Sony LT29i ‘Hayabusa’ will be the same as the Xperia GX without LTE functionality

The Xperia GX dosen't seem to have any Japan specific features like the S does... so there is a chance that the GX will see international release...

Seriously man,
This is just the design what people want!
Xperia GX!
I hope sony Indonesia will sell it..
Even I kno its only a dream T_T

You do realize that all that dual, quad and I don't know what core is just a big piece of crap meant to attract customers, while in reality there is no need at all for such things for now. You can't possibly use such phones to their fullest, mainly because of android limits (single, dual and quad core phones perform almost the same on gingerbread; dual cores perform a bit better than single cores on ICS, though), but also I can't think of an app that would demand such thing. I have a fuqing dual core computer at home and the only thing it's missing is a bit more RAM, so I can't see for what reason would you need a PHONE with QUAD CORE.

Xperia gx is the best looking android till date..buttonless makes it even better..and the snapdragon S4 processor is the best around..Sony have nailed it this time..waiting for the international version.

Great news!!its got micro sd!
the question whether that beast has a microsd or not, was eating me and would be a critical factor for me to consider it as a future phone of mine.
AND IT DOES!

the Xperia GX has ICS(Android 4.0) on stock, has a micro sd slot, and is using normal chip(not micro-chip) !!
i'm soooooooo gonna get this! international release please! >.<

One GX for me too, please!

Camera sources published!

Finally, we have some progress. After petition which was created by OmegaRED^, and thread, created by me, Sony make some love for our community (thanks for zdzihu for info about it. It's big deal I think, cause we know we can make X10 much better now. Second thing is that Sony didn't forget about us and still looking (hopefully) to relase some other features (I mean sources and answer for questions on their forum). Fingers crossed, guys. We will give X10 devices new life again .

Thanks for Sony again, and please - give us something more, if possible!

Yes! Great news.
I also hope that Sony will deliver the way for us to have 16 million colors in our 4" screen, and maybe even multitouch.
I'm loving Sony again...

I'm sure they will do this, if this possible of course. Hope yes .
PS: I'm planning buy Xperia GX if will be international, and with MSM8960 (Adreno320). For me this is the best smartphone for now, bye Samsung with your SIII plastic fun!

XPERIA GX is really good, what are the benchmarks actually of it vs GS3? Not that I care about it, the phone is smooth, UI is AWESOME and design is THE BEST so far of all Androids. But, the thing we should hope is that it's the MSM8960 Pro, or else we won't have the Adreno 320 .
I'm going to buy it, alot of websites say that the chip in the XPERIA GX supports all networks.

MSM8960 confirmed ->

It's extremally sweet and fast . My next must have after X10 and Play .
BTW - I don't understand why they put Arc/Arc S on second picture, cause there is GX spec xD.

MSM8960 means Adreno 225.
MSM8960 Pro means we get Adreno 320. I think we get the first one ^^. However I'm still going to buy this phone! I contacted Sony Mobile and they said there are no details for a worldwide release yet. So I think there will be worldwide release since they don't know!

Good idea . And I still believe on Adreno 320 with Pro Snapdragon. Maybe they don't put words about it on details. Hope soon we get full specification of GX . Okey, we need stop spam, friend .

Guys aren't we talking something outta topic? ?

re: buying x10

re: buying x10
hey there
I have been using x10 mini pro since 18 months nd nkw I want to upgrade. x10 is the only phone in my range with 4 inch screen. how is dev support? battery life.can I use this phone for 2 yrs? thank you!

Hey, are you serious about buying a x10? There are better (Sony) phones out there for the same price, I'm sure!

You'll get the Xperia U or the miro(when it comes out) for more or less the same price, and both are wayy better. Not to mention the HTC One V, and the Samsung Galaxy S II(for a higher price), and the Samsung Galaxy S Advance. These phones are newer than the x10, and hence get better support from their respective companies.
And you shouldn't choose based on screen size alone, the processor and the RAM are most important when you choose a phone. Also the year of release of that phone, that determines how much longer the phone is going to be supported by the manufacturer. At two and a quarter years of age, the x10 is one of the oldest android phones there is...Sony stopped its updates for the x10 with Android 2.3.3 whereas the current Android OS version is 4.1.1
If you do want a 4" screen, these are good options:
Sony Xperia P
Samsung Galaxy S Advance
Google Nexus S(which is quite old, but it's a Nexus phone, hence the most support)
Meizu MX-4 Core
LG Optimus 2X(although LG has stopped support for this, it's still a good phone, a better one than the x10)
HTC Desire V
Samsung Galaxy S Duos(when it comes out)
Hope that helped

ya. I know its too old but ccan u suggest some 3.7 inch + screens in 270$ or less.

hey!!
I knoe there will be no updates. that's the reason I wanted to know the dev support. the main reason for choosing x10 is its rs12999 now nd others are bit high.

Dev support too is decreasing for the x10. Many developers like Feravolt, doomlord, and now FXP have stopped their support for the x10..FXP will not be developing CM10 for the x10, and the others have already left.
As for you, you could buy the Xperia pro..costs about the same(13k rs) but has more ram and a better processor. The Xperia neo works too

awww. I didn't know fxp nd doomlord stopped the support. then I've to rethink. thank u so much!!

New Arc Series

What do u guys think abt the new Arc series the Xperia T & Xperia V
:highfive:
both the Xperia T & the V already beats the Galaxy S III & the oneX in the Benchmark tests

New arc series!!if they are anything like the original arc/s they'll be excellent,competition should be worried!!!

I just read that article on GSMArena, and my hart was... like house!
New Arcy Xperias with krait dual-cores are beating other flagships so badly that I just can't believe... I can only say, WOW.
Haha, watch your asses, SONY beasts are coming!
PS: You should rename topic into "There's a storm coming, Mr. Samsung", like one user commented on GSMArena.

The Xperia V looks promising, and it's very good to see Sony returning to replaceable batteries and microSD slots after abandoning those in the NXT line. I would personally have liked to see real, hardware buttons for home/back/menu but I guess all the manufacturers have dropped those now.

yup..both look kool...they will be launched in october 1st week atleast in India

im slightly dissapointed.......that i bought the gs3!!!! Man I loved my arc but i just had to move on....one month too soon. the new series are great though, cant wait to try them!

super awesome. i will buy xperia v, even if i'm child an can't pay money for LTE (80€/month) xD
But its water resistant and is the fastest device avaible, with dual-core, which is way better than Galaxy S3.... Because Power of Dual-Core..and saving power and heat.. awesome, but LTE i can't pay i dont have enough money

I wanted to upgrade to s3. but the new sony xperia T keeps the arc design. along with the beast dual core krait processor!!! Can't wait for the upgrade.

I'm waiting to see how much they will retail this mobile here in the US. It just might be my next mobile, the T-TX.

Xperia V looks promising...
I just hope the price would range as a mid-level phone

I like the V also. I downloaded the user guide for the SL, which DOES have a removable battery cover. But the software for the V has me waiting for its release.

Do you like jokes ? : Adreno 200
You want a joke ? 512 Ram + 1ghz single core

Looks gooood:laugh:

I wonder why the TX was revealed quietly at IFA. Maybe because it has similar specs to the T but the TX is my personal favourite. The GX/TX design is better than the T design imo.
Only if the T and TX had LTE. Flagship phones without the fastest data speed mediums available is a minus.

will i bea able to use 4g on AT&T with the xperia V?

I mean its the only phone with 1.7 ghz processor...?

i liked the xperia SL better ?

I'm interested in the 13mp camera that the Tx has, I wonder if its better (if any) than the S

And you miss the most important thing...
We were glad to provide the Android 4.0.4 upgrade for our 2011 Xperia portfolio across most markets and the majority of models but, after thorough evaluation, we have concluded they will not be upgraded beyond Ice Cream Sandwich.
Beyond Ice Cream Sandwich we would not able to guarantee owners of these smartphones the user experience you expect and we demand. We will however, continue to support all these products with firmware maintenance releases.

Seriously, my phone runs much smoother in JB than on ICS... Thnk you SONY -.-

Seriously Sony's multimillionaire software department can't make a good JB firm for Neo/Arc/S and can do it for Xperia J?

Disappointing but expected news. I'm personally not surprised. It's most likely for marketing. And anyways it's been almost 2 years already since their release. I guess Sony wants everyone to buy their current and future lineup of Xperias.
We should also be thankful that Sony upgraded our phones to ICS. LG isn't even upgrading their 2011 phones as far as I know.
Sony Mobile isn't as big as Samsung or HTC. Cut them some slack.

So, first you moan because Sony doesn't give out an update.
Then, if an update is released, then you moan even more about all the little problems it has.
They are not your slaves. Give them time to work, you are not the only customers out there. Besides, your phone is not the only one there.

But atleast they should have update arc s to jb isnt 1.4 ghz enough for jb wtf they was saying that they are checking the devices etc.
Fully crap i just bought arc s its still in market and here i am with no jb update
I should have bought s2 instead
I wont buy sony now in future

I only don't understand why they don't upgrade the arc s... But I think this is the biggest problem with android. Look to samsung, the sgs plus was released almost the same time as the arc s, has similar parts and price and didn't even got ics...

I think the problem is that Sony is lazy to do the JB upgrade. JB requires same requirements as ics the only down side is the 512 mb memory but other phone with the same phone power will still deliver the JB hope they can get back in there word qnd deliver JB to us.

I hope it to, but i don't think so...

No excuses for Sony really they could provide codes so developers can port JB into older devices unless we launch a huge outrage just like the X10 fiasco.

Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app

Best way is ..more of us ...to don't buy any sony phone ,because they take this fkkk solution ....not to give us ..the owner of 1.4 GHz ..sony device ..a taste of JB...., that's shame ...
I will sell my device and bye a decent phone....( to have 1GB RAM , front facing camera , enough internal storage .., not like this ..420 MB...., and also a decent battery .) , because I don't want to spend all my money to bye a new phone ..every 5 months ...

This is why I'm getting a Samsung phone next year. Samsung's flagship model from 2011 got JellyBean. and what is more pathetic, JB is incomparably smoother and faster than ICS.

time to change brand!

Well, the last few weeks I've been confused whether my next device will be a Nexus, a Lumia or an Xperia,
now I just need to choose between the first two
(Not that Lumia will surely provide better support, I want to know how good/bad is WP8 through experience, I'll keep the arc S though, still the sexiest phone I've ever had)
