NOTE is one of best Gaming Android phone to date, IMO... i mean, 5" is most ideal for gaming IMO, controls on each side doesnt intrfere on the game play because of the screen size, Loudspeaker is loud, not to mention the AMOLED display... i was playing Shadowgun an hour ago, its just awesome...
Couldn't agree with you more.
I am having a similar experience.
Great phone & mini Tab.
i have a feeling that itll be the next HD2...
Strange that you mentioned it. I have an old HTC HD2 which I am keeping it.
It is a great phone and I am still using it for its GPS capability. Using Garmin and Papago GPS for local navigation. We have very detailed maps and POI for my country [supplied FOC by a very dedicated group of mappers called MFM].

I think that SE Xperia Play is better suited for games. It has a REAL joystick that is always with you.
I bought SonicCD and loaded it up on my Note. It works perfect and the Notes screen runs it beautifully. Then I loaded it up on my old Desire and, boy, was there a huge difference. The Notes screen definately won hands down.

it doesnt have a real analog stick. it uses a touch pad instead.
the xperia play design was good, but it was let down by the hardware. like really, 1ghz single core snapdragon with adreno 205... launching after their competitors release dual core phones with better gpus... and charging just as much as the dual core phones...
hopefully with sony ericcson being consumed by sony, it will lead to an xperia play2 with better internals.
gaming phones next year will be much more interesting. 28nm manufacturing means much more performance at much lower temps with better battery life. im keen on seeing tegra 3+ vs the quadcore 2.5ghz snap dragon...

Can't wait for the Tegra 3 or the new Exynos chipsets that are being released.
The quadcore Snapdragon isn't going to be good if it's anything like it's dual core 1.5ghz predeccesor.

I got Backstab HD and Asphalt 6 during the 10 days special for my Xoom, but notice they aren't available for the Note. I wonder if spoofing the SGSII would work to at least get them installed and data downloaded?

It's a shame there's no good DS emulators around - the screen is almost exactly the size of the two DS screens, plus it has the stylus and the microphone...
Nonetheless the Note is the best mobile gaming experience I've had in twenty years of playing video games. The screen size is perfect, and so many games play so much better with the stylus. The battery lasts longer than my 3DS, and though I haven't got a Vita yet I imagine it's a similar situation there. MHL means I can play most games on large screens if I want. Android means I can emulate all my favourite old games in one convenient package. And the gaming ecosystem for Android is getting really great right now, most games are seeing release on the Market instead of just iOS. The Note is specced to be right at the forefront of that right now, hindered only (slightly) by its non-Tegra-ness.
Seriously, the gaming utility of this device alone justifies the purchase for me, not even considering its myriad other functions. And today Samsung announces that it's first in line for ICS! I know I'm ranting, but I just couldn't be happier with this phone.

thats the thing i found disappointing about the vita. the psp had the option of being connected to a TV via component out, yet the vita does not have hdmi. i mean sure, it does have dual touchpads which could make it a bit clunky, but i was really expecting a home console in your pocket. plus, im not happy that sony decided to disable the fourth core of the vita at the last moment. you cant advertise its a quad core when one of the cores is disabled...
Hey there everybody!
I'm sorry if this could have fit in another thread, but I'm just curious about one thing; if this phone is worth buying just now.
I have a Wildfire S at the moment, and I'm pretty bored of it, it has ****ty specs, can't run anything worthwhile...
So first, I wanted to buy a PS Vita, but seeing that the games weren't appealing to me, and they all start at $40-50+, I'm more likely to get an Xperia Play.
The only thing stopping me is that I don't know if it's still a good phone, if it still can run the newest games, etc.
So please, help me, will ya?

In my opinion I would just dish out the money for an Xperia s. Just root it and connect it with a dualshock controller.

'Good' Phone
Imo the only good thing about the xperia play is the controls, the fact that is 'old' in specs you could buy something better, further support to the ps suite doesnt look better either (moving to ICS looks good but it will have ups and downs), still is a good phone but consider a second choice.
To be honest, no.
Unless you REALLY dont want to spend the extra cash for a way better phone, get this.
In comparison, its like buying a Nexus One in this day and age.
No. I prefer my old PSP for gaming over my xperia play anyways. The controls feel a lot worse and smaller on the Xperia Play, and the amount of compatibility issues with custom roms and touchpads is annoying too.
About the games, see the list of xperia play optimized games and see if those appeal to you.
Also, I know the wildfire S is an old phone with ****ty specs but just note that the xperia plays processor is clocked only 400 mhz higher , the gpu is worse, and there is nearly 100 mb more usable ram in the wildfire S than the play. This is not a worthy upgrade from your old phone..If you were coming from an old blackberry/nokia or something, then I would tell you to get the play. If upgrading I recommend a dual core phone, you will notice a huge performance difference.

Come on, do you really compare the Wildfire 600mhz to the Play 1000mhz?
it´s a snapdragon, And don´t forget, you can easily clock the Play to a stable 1.8ghz, i have mine at 1.4ghz.
The GPU is worse? the Wildfire S uses adreno 200 the Play is the 205..
He will notice a big improvement from Wildfire to the Play.
To all saying no, the Play it´s still a good phone, there are better ones yes, mas they cost a lot more.

Most of the games you can get on the play you can play on any other android device. If you want the play as a solid gaming device, you're better off with the vita.If you want the play for its physical controls on the move go for it. Specs wise it sucks and is bulky compared to the newer options which as mentioned are more expensive.
I'd have to say yes.
All the analysts that said Xperia PLAY would fail to run future generation software are eating their own statements now as Xperia PLAY continues to beast the newest software there is with consistent 30-60FPS and high detail.
No other phone has as many games compatible with it's physical controller as the Xperia PLAY does, and Xperia PLAY's game software support is just getting better and better every day.
I too thought that the Vita would break me away from the Xperia PLAY. It's a nice handheld, but right now Sony's making a lot of mistakes with the Vita that currently causes Xperia PLAY's options to be far more enticing.
I see dual cores, I see quad cores, beastly screens, 3D screens and all kinds of things on newer phones... but when you see Shadowgun on the Xperia PLAY running just as nicely as it does on the Atrix, Galaxy S2 and GNex, you soon learn that there's currently no reason for all that.

I read Adreno 220 the first time. Sorry. But even then I think a dual core phone with more ram would be better. Dual core just increases performance so much.

Just because one game is optimized to run better on an older phone, that doesn't mean that there's, "No reason for all that". The performance in everything else is a lot better with those phones. The only thing that I will miss about the Xperia play when I get my next phone is the gamepad.
If you enjoy casual gaming in any way, as well as emulating the old classics, this is the phone for you. If just you like having a phone that works really well, this is still the phone to get. It runs great as a phone and you have the option to use the physical buttons to play games on it. I don't understand how anyone wouldn't want that. Then again, I'm a gamer to the core, so my judgement is lopsided hah.
If you're looking for a powerful beast, the Play isn't there any longer. But the Play is future proof because in 5 years, the Play will keep being at least a portable emulator which can handle anything below N64 with nice controls.
XPlay-Swype
I just picked one up for 90$ on eBay and am really liking it other than the fact that it seems to have a weak signal compared to my iPhone 4 and drops 3g quite frequently on Verizon. I'm beating all the gba castlevania games at the moment and some Zelda ocarina of time. Any good suggestions?

Honestly, I'd wait to see if sony releases an XPlay2, or another phone with physical game pad. I think the phone has sold well enough to justify another iteration with more beefy specs (the afore-mentioned dual or quadcore, more internal space, and more ram).
But if you're absolutely desperate for a new phone, I'd get this one.

Great 2nd phone
I am a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Note, huge AMOLED HD screen, powerful dual core yada yada yada.. I was looking to buy a PS Vita, I mean the Galaxy Note plays games extremely well but there's no getting away from a dedicated hardware game pad being ultimately better for portable gaming.. But Sony are asking too much for compulsory memory cards and the game titles are truly wallet rinsing.
In comes the next best thing the Xperia Play and nicely doubles as a second phone. (I am still scared of showing the Note too much - in public, always a risk of having it snatched!) So today I ordered the Xperia Play for a very reasonable £170 and I think will satisfy me for a while

IIRC Sony has basically said NO so far on an XPlay 2 of any sort. As far as is known its not in development at all, so it could be a looooong wait.

I upgraded from X8 to Play, I wasn't expecting it but I found it for a very cheap 150€.
I'm very happy with it, it's a big evolution, specially the screen size. I thought the fisical controls wouldn't be very important to me since I never played very much on my X8, but it does make a difference, it's simply great.
My thoughts for you are: if your looking for a nice performance, great gamming, nice screen size (not the best luminosity out doors, but it works) and amazing sound (the best I heard on a smartphone) and you have low budget like I did, go for this. If you want a powerful phone with the most amazing screen, you use your camera a lot, a phone with better functionality to compete with the current beasts in the market, I'd buy an Xperia S (too bad I had no money for it) or Xperia P
I like the Xperia Play and i'm gonna be holding on to it until another one like that hits the market.
The Xperia Play is an all rounder for me. I can surf the net watch videos nice 4'' inch not the best but its not that bad and the gamepad is a plus for me
Oh and Ice Cream Sandwich will be released as well

Indeed same for me - I bought the play about a month ago - specs are still enugh for me - and as i dont own a psp,.. neither my old beloved gameboy - I LOVE IT
But if u dont wan to carry around several devices - and are not one of those I NEED THE BIGGEST FASTEST AND HIGHEST guys - GET IT
Best allround handy for me - if u love console games
Hardware not too old - and nice and fluid - just a bit heavy
Btw - bought mine for 250€ - there are not many other similar hardware "speced" ( does it exist ) handys at that price anyway....
Just saw this browsing around.

no reason it's a bad platform for consoles, it's the arm architecture that might not be up to the performance standards but i think you'll be surprised at what the terga 3 can do. it won't replace the 7 core processor in the ps3 but this isn't meant to compete with that. so game developers would have to resort to better story lines and game play. it's a way for people to get into game development and share. it will never have a market share that sony and ms have but i think the underground following can get very large.

This is exactly right. Is it gonna be the best console out there? Probably not. It will be, however, a neat toy that is worthy of MY $99.
I think it would be neat if they just sold the controller and had a curated app store so you could run the same games on a phone as well.
Microslut has announced a $99 Ecks Bocks a few months ago...
Yeah you have to pay for live with y but most people won't factor that in and this will be overlooked...
It needs to be marketed as something besides a gaming platform.. other areas, it would sell great.. in the gaming realm.. it will get torn apart..

No kidding!
Just what sort of a ROM goes on a "console"?
Perhaps a lot of focus on media streaming and definitely a bit of emulation...
With how small and portable this thing is, it could be great to take around and quickly pop into any HDMI TV to play games or watch movies.

But a lot of the Roms don't quite support the HDMI adapter right yet. (At least for ICS and JB, I think. Entropy fixed that on Froyo and Ginber, didn't he?)
And even then, it doesn't exactly mirror display of the phone.
Something like the Ouya is MADE to work on TVs right out.

I really think this will be a cool gaming device. It'll run android, its meant to be taken apart and messed with, and from I have read its open to development from everyone from game makers to hackers. This is exactly what we want here on are phones given to use in a gaming consule. Like said when they were making this it wasn't made to take on Xbox and PlayStation rather to have you play games on your TV. I watched games played on this think not made for it yet and it works pretty good. Plus this way we can play whatever games we want for free. I will be more then happy to buy one when its out. I really like what they are aiming for and I believe I can have a lot of fun with this as a gaming on it and hacking it.
Struggling to find legit system specs, are there any yet? Maybe I am having a "boy's" look
It's worth my $99 to spend on it. I'm not expecting it to rival the MS or Sony consoles.
Probably would use it as a media center
Well, I think this would be a great media center, i'd get it connected to a server computer wich i would store videos, films, photos and everything else

Someone needs to make a portable device that allows you to insert a SIM and bluetooth out to other devices supporting UART profile[for general GSM commands, SMS, whatnot] & Audio profile(? for voice talk/call).
Bundle with an app to parse these and wuala, you got yourself a generic telephone-bluetooth thingy that pairs with any device(that supports the proper bluetooth profiles) [come to think of it, almost little to no device support these profiles hmm no wonder this kind of device dont exists in the marke *runs for cover*]

Regarding its TV connecting feature, it seem alternatively you can just connect your PC or Game Console to the TV and use a bluetooth/wireless gamepad. It said it has the feature like OnLive, but you need to have an nVidia video card (which mean also a running PC), and even if it can stream the game over 3G/4G network and use it outside your home, would the latency be better than OnLive? I think yes actually. But really I don't see a compelling reason to get this unless you want Tegra exclusive games, since you can just use a highend Android phone or tablet and a bluetooth gamepad, which can still be more pocket-able than this device: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1703567677/icontrolpad-2-the-open-source-controller

This thing is nothing like those wannabes, this is the first real contender for a succesor that we've ever seen. We always joke about how the Play 2 would have a Tegra 3, 2 gigs of ram, hdmi out, play pc games, and so forth, but this thing is a godamn Tegra 4 launch device with EVERY feature on all of our fantasy checklists and then some! I mean really, what else does it have to do to convince you? Cook breakfast?

Be able to call. It ain't a successor if it ain't able to call. And fit in my pants for that matter.
Is 2013 the year for Android home gaming consoles or something? First the OUYA now this? I respect the fact they're trying to give people more variety over tradition game consoles. But I mean... are Android games REALLY that good? I mean if your on the go, you pull out your phone and play MC3 or whatever, when your home wouldn't you much rather play xbox or something? Or even connect your phone via HDMI (excluding XP obviously) to your TV? I just don't think android games are THAT good to have home consoles dedicated to them.
If they made a smaller version that incorporates a phone then I'd definitely be interested.

The Streaming system is like having kainy App. But more perfect.
What intrigues me is how you configure the controls? have its own mapping system too??
As I see console games perfect.
But for uses such as messages and calls I doubt,
It depends on the point of view,
But as I said, as a console, would be perfect.
I hope they are not using there own chipsets because android apps don't run the best on tegra chipsets they have been shown to run the best on snapdragon

Again, pointless to compare this to Xplay.
This is one big bulky controller with integrated screen.
Xperia Play is essentialy phone and has very convenient desing when it comes to gamepad, you can "hide" it if you want.
And again, Sony didnt say "we wont be making Xperia Play 2"
The anwser was something along the lines "we currently are not making Xperia Play" which rather means they were not working on new model, not that they ditched the whole idea.
I already argued in one of the threads that Sony WILL make new Play. They have everything they need right now or under development like new, mature hardware/technology (reason #1 N-GAGE and N-GAGE2 failed), Software which is not all supported by one model (#2 why N-GAGE failed) and a position to get enough regonizion for their device.
Playstation Mobile is still under development so I guess we can start waiting for XP2 after they get PSM fully geared and proper hardware (for that time) ready. Give it year or two.
xp2 is on hold.
i'd better go with the new HTC one as a base, because of the stereo front speakers and the better hardware
This sounds like a really cool & Fun thing to do, but even if anything were to go ahead and happen sony would shut it down as "Xperia Play Gamepad - Slideout" is patented...
So their would have to be some other mechanic other than a slide out!
But if this really happens, We would all be the ones LAUGHING in Sonys Face about THE COMMUNITY Creating a V2 of their successor!, They dont want to make a v2 because of the "PS Vita" Sales, I mean that thing was TERRIBLE!
So if this does conntinue on, im glad to contribute on the software side!,
but using galaxy s3 as base means that he cant do it
he should use xperia z as base so he can port sony framework to it and get all xperia play games work on that with jb
Beat me too it.
I was also beginning to do research of my own to begin on my own build (I was waiting till It was finished to post) also I agree with pedyvirus that the xperia z would be a better base.
QUESTIONS?
What specs are you hoping to have? (minimum)
What major changes are you hoping to integrate into your xperia?
Lastly wouldn't the slide out keyboard be fine as long as you don't try to make money off of it?
GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED
You could even try and make a phone case which could also be a gamepad
Just an idea

Personally I like the gamepad being part of the phone this way there are no connection errors, no need for Bluetooth, or compatibility issues. That's what makes the xperia play so amazing, its there when you need it with no hassle. If we were to have a gamepad case we would just be another smartphone.
ALTHOUGH if you are interested in game cases the best I've seen at the moment is Bladepad. It is only for iphone at the moment but it will be coming to android by the end of this year or beginning of next. Just go to Bladepad.com to check it out.

man
just look at my signature ...
i'll by your xperia play 2
Wow this is amazing. Maybe tegra 4 base and massive amount of ram. 5inches or more display. For controls if slide out is patended use on side (psp like) and clampshell (3ds like).
Im considering getting nvdia shield once released, but with this, with phone function i think this will be much better.

Hi guys,
an update:
looks like there is only one guy who is interested in making this device a reality. I won't say, but he's "pretty" well known in the mod scene.
I am still looking for people who are good at electronics
If you feel you have the talent, email me and I will support you
I'll definitely buy an Xperia Play successor, but I'm not that good in micro-scale Electronics. I really hope the best for this project.
I do hope for the best of this project. My suggestions are for the minimum spec it can run PSP games smoothly on PPSSPP. Has its own Game Keyboard, but still affordable

Unless he obtains the rights to use the hardware and goes through all the other legal issues, I dont see this available for sale. Maybe donate 'x amount' and receive a free phone but still, the undertaking of this project is likely the most ambitious on all of xda. I wish him luck but I won't be holding my breath.

I'm still breathing, bit I love to dream too!
I really like Thea idea of this.
I think the specs shouldn't be too
powerful(snapdragon 800 etc ).
They minimum I'd like to see is dual core clocked at 1.5hgz
I don't know why but I prefer dual then quad core and gpu of
Snapdragon 300.
But I don't really know alot on develoing phones but I would love
get my hands on xperia play 2 even if it had a dear price
I'd buy it
13mp camera 1080p
vita analogs
Nice clicky buttons like the old play maybe two separate pads that slide out to the side?
Exmor r
Bravia
1.7Ghz
Kickass snapdragon
2gb ram
To some up make it a ridiculously kickass phone.

is there actually an android version of the bladepad? cuz it is exactly what i had in mind 1 or 2 years ago when i saw the play the very first time and immediately knew the pad had to be portable over to another device as the hardware evolves faster than a successor would be created.

Not yet there should be one by the end of the year though but the problem is there's so many android devices it would be hard to support so they're probably only going to support certain popular phones or else theyll make a general one for certain sizes that clips on the back

Questions for everyone.
Just for fun lets have hear some opinions on xperia play 2.
Q#1
What are your 3 must haves for an xperia play 2?
Mine are #1 Physical analog sticks. I don't care if they are psp nubs, ps vita type analog, or real playstation analog sticks.
#2 Awesome sound quality (loud and clear) xperia play did this great and I hope they continue with this.
#3 An amazing screen I'm talking about HD to the extreme with the quality of games being so high now we need something to back that up.
Q#2
What design would you like Clamshell, slider, or candybar.
I would prefer a clamshell design with 2 screens one on the inside and one on the outside. This to me would be the best way to incorporate the analog sticks and massive speakers. also it would cool if it paused what you were doing on your first screen so when you were done gaming you can go back to what you were doing as soon as you close it. I like the xperia for the fact that you can hide the controls and hopefully the xperia play 2 will also have this business on the outside gaming on the inside.
Q#3
lastly, this is random but what color/material would you like?
If it was a color option it would be red all the way.
But if there was an metal one like the htc one that would be so awesome
