Xperia Play Engadget hands on

linky
Its surprising, the playstation phone sounds like it could be a real success for Sony. I'm still kinda weary about the device as they may decide to drop it half a year later like they did with the x10... Also we still dont know what the battery life is gonna be like...

Im more interested in the Arc and if I want to play games on the go, the PSP2.

LOL what? You use your xbox 360 for gaming on the go?
I use a PSP/PS3 combo.

it's a nice device, but the ARC is what I'm looking for...
I'm curious as what kind of games will be available on the Xperia PLAY

Then why are you replying to a thread about a portable gaming phone with a post talking about an xbox 360?

Replying about a phone pretending to be a gaming device, I don't know why people bother. Merely agreed that i was looking forward to arc over the playstation phone. Delete the posts if you want

But I couldn't take the PS3 to wherever I go...
I don't like to have a lot of gadgets in my pocket, so the PlayStation Phone sounds really interesting specially for gamers who likes to have all-in-one, just like me. It's a good idea to have a phone on wich you can play in a very comfortably way, with a specialized control.
Of course, if we demand powered graphics and speed, then the PSP (or its possible successor) would be the right portable gaming device. But again, the reasons why I never bought the PSP are its size and the fact that it doesn't have a camera or any keyboard...
Between this phone and Arc, I'd choose this.

Im waaaaaaay more interested in the Arc, plus i dont play games on my phone...i wait till i get home and play COD on xbox 360...oh yeah! Lol

Same here cept for the arc part. The xperia play and arc dont even have a dual processor.
SE is probably going to price these phones ridiculously high while they already are outdated before they even are released because it will take a looonngg time for it to be released.
If not, SE might actually have learned this time.

The price for the Arc seems to be 500£ Play.com has their preorder up for 460£ (i apologize in advance if I'm using the wrong pound symbol, it's nowhere on my keyboard! lol)
Just to compare, the X10 had a 600£ MSRP when it came out. I think that the Euro/Pound/Dollar were all about the same number (not value as 600£ != 600$).

Why buying Arc or PlayStation phone AND buying PSP2? Spending 500£ in the Arc and 450£ in the PSP2... Damn
Unless the guy whom does this is rich , otherwise I wouldn't understand that.
Be logic. One option would be keeping the X10 and buying PSP2 this year... At least that's what I'd do.

It's a bare face lie. Just because something says it can do that doesn't mean it will work or be practical
I know for a fact it wont work because the Xperia play is to weak of a device to do it natively you would have to use software decoding and cause major lag not to mention huge battery drain
In the end if you want TV out. buy a Droid X. the best smart phone ever made
(probably the strongest made ever)
it's reminiscent of a IBM magnesium case laptop
you can drive over them with a car and they still function

You're both wrong
Thats not a WiFi to HDMI Dongle. Its a mini Roku box. It only streams stuff from the Internet over WiFi. Like Netflix and Hulu, etc.
And Hogwarts, a long post about how another phone is better and to just use that is just about as useless as tits on a bull. If we wanted another phone we would have gotten one, but we like this phone because it has a game pad. We don't care about the Droid X or any other phone.

I think it defeats the purpose of being a mobile gaming phone if it is attached to a TV.

Droid x isnt better becuase it doesnt have a gamepad.

If No ICS for Xperia play then what is for Xperia play 2

Hey guys
Kept quite through this stressful time for many people who expected an ICS update but now we know we won't be getting one.I have two mixed opinions on this .
The first is why guarantee us an update if in the end they don't deliver.the way the led us on to believe is just annoying and the fact that some people moved from previous Sony devices that had been promised updates for their devices but never got one is just another sucker punch to the 2nd nut.
My other opinion is that its better to have a smooth rom than an unstable one because its all about the user experience over latest software.
My main question is if the game developers are unwilling to make their games ics compatible then if Sony ever release a Xperia play 2 then will that have to run GB or something compatible or will Sony aid them financially or expertise wise to get the games ics ready.
Who knows what will happen but they better do something big soon .
PS(sorry for any grammar errors)
Sent from my Xperia Play using xda premium

There won't be an Xplay 2.

i think so
but i still hope sony would release their latest build

Excuse me for shamelessly copying over what I wrote on another thread:
<quote from my other post>
Just releasing Xperia PLAY 2 is not going to be enough. It's still going to be seen as a niche device, thus low sales, thus not enough game titles to be an "ecosystem".
An "ecosystem" is what we really need, that is, developers must be able to see 2 things:
1.) unlike Xperia PLAY, that there WILL be new devices that can run their game-pad optimized games when the old generation fades out.
2.) there MUST be a big enough audience, ie. active devices in use.
Only then will big label game developers sink time in to make deep and 40+ game-hours titles.
To do that, rather than releasing a Xperia PLAY2, I think releasing gamepad case or battery cover options for the mainstream handsets is going to do the trick. If they do that, every Sony Handset is going to be Xperia PLAY2, 3, etc. , and even if not many of those cases actually sold, I'm hoping developers would think "Hey, there are 2 Million devices that POTENTIALLY could have gamepad. My game would play so much better with gamepad, maybe I can give my players something extra by support that."
For Physical Design of the gamepad battery cover idea, maybe it could utilize the volume of the original battery compartment to store physical analog sticks, and relocate the battery to below the gamepad. Imagine the space available from Xperia Arc or the new GX...
</quote from my other post>
Actually, if the above actually happens, I don't mind if they don't make a Xperia PLAY2 with Fixed gamepad. It'd be nice, sort of a "flagship of all gamepad capable phones", but it won't be decisive whether the ecosystem lives or dies.
On the other hand, I have a feeling that Sony is drawing a line in the sand between itself and the Xperia PLAY. With Xperia PLAY optimisation being royalty free (any program can code to use the gamepad), I think Sony is trying to get rid of it like the plague.
Even if Sony makes new phones with gamepads (detachable or not), they will want to somehow limit the gamepad access only to games published in their own eco-system (like PS Suite) to maximise profit (Afterall, this is what it's all about to Sony). But PS Suite is not going to be bogged down by XPERIA PLAY's mid-2010 hardware, so I've lost hope we'll get much from it...
So sadly I think this is as far as the Xperia PLAY will go. It'll forever be a device that runs emulators and some 2011/12 Android games. I think there won't be future devices that uses Xperia PLAY's gamepad API.

Ics has its own gamepad api, and one that already works on the xplay gamepad, touch pads and all. FPSE and N64oid both use it.
In reality, there is nothing stopping Motorola or HTC or anyone from putting a functional game pad on these devices. All moto would have to do is put the dpad from the og droid on the left and we'd be good to go.

To be honest I think the way these custom roms are being developed and coming up to scratch, many will become very decent and will be better than anything Sony can ever come up with

Did you guys read this, apparently the Chief Marketing Officer of Sony mobile Steve Walker rubbished claims that an Xperia Play 2 was in development and that the future was integration with all Xperia phones (PS Suite :S).
So no Xperia Play 2 i guess.
To me the phone is not profitable for Sony's attention/support thus the lack of interest, like the above poster said though it would be great if they created a peripheral compatible with all Xperia phones that would include a gamepad/other functionality, but I've lost interest in Sony's mobile division now they are too slow to market anything powerful and are lacking when it comes to long term support and innovative software.

That's my main hope: with Google introducing its own Gamepad API, someone else making a phone with built in game buttons.

The Android phone market reminds me of the digital camera megapixel war. 1001 devices that compete on some measurable spec or other, but all are very generic.

Guess I'll be on this phone a while longer then. Now to get an extended battery.

extended battery with a custom protective case... oh how i wish...

exchatly my feelings.
but IMHO, this could proffit Xplay 2 more if Sony ever would do such a device.
think, Xplay support would be dropped because its on OLD hardware and OLD gingerbread and the Xplay 2 would be on NEW ICS/Any new android OS with NEW hardware, naturaly game developers wouldnt bother with old model so they would transfer all their resources to new model which would force more old users to upgrade to new.

Nice find! Here's some other footage I found on it.

I've had my eye on these for a couple of weeks now. I have an iPhone 4, and I must say, for gaming it sucks. I also had a Novo 7 Elf and that was OKAY. But these JXD gamepads are really awesome looking. So I've decided I'm going to get myself one. Payday is in about 3 days, not including shipping time...

For as many threads of these JXD devices as we see, it's a shame there aren't as many reviews out there. They look really interesting, but I just don't know if I'd trust the manufacturing quality.

I'm really interested in this. I'm just waiting til I top up my debit card again.
One question though: Most articles I've read say it's available for pre-order at $150 but all said articles point to WillGo which prices the device at $160+ excluding SD card. Why is that? $10+ dollars is something big.

$150 was the special pre-order price. You can still find it for $150 at other stores, but if you can afford it I'd go with the Willgoo link because they're quick to ship and offer very good after sales support.

I received mine a couple of days ago. My honest impression of it so far is that it's an incredible piece of hardware trapped by ridiculously poor firmware coding. This thing has so much potential, but the mistakes that JXD made with the code are mind boggling. For example, the left analog and d-pad are distinct pieces of hardware, but they cannot be mapped independent of one another, and the right analog is mapped through the touch screen. And it appears that the display might be locked at 50Hz.
It would seriously benefit from the aid of some of xda CFW gurus, but the problem with that is, so far, JXD won't release the source code. A pair of users have actually made a good bit of progress improving things, tremendously so given that they're no experts and they don't have any source code to work with, over at http://boards.dingoonity.org/android-devices/jxd-s7300-fixes-firmware-roms-thread/ but it still needs more help. I would encourage anyone with the skills, time, and inclination to head over there and try to lend a hand. If people are successful in correcting JXD's mistakes, this tablet could actually be worth the price.

There is a recent review in Euro Gamer,

I'm definitely thinking about getting one of these..... but I have too many gadgets... ARG...

So, how's it been working for you? Just saw this last night and have been googling around for more info. I have a Nook Color right now that I use for reading, how well does this do on non-game related apps? I want to get something I can play games on and emulate with but I also don't want to have to carry two devices around all time so I'm hoping to be able to use this as my eBook reader, Web browser and media player too...
Also have you (or anyone else) tried using a microSD card larger than the listed 16GB?what were your results?

I received mine yesterday. The build quality is very pleasing for the price (£98 for me) although some have mentioned problems with soldering etc internally.
There are problems with the analog sticks but they look to be resolvable. On the Dingoonity boards a couple of developers have released a very good rom that fixes a lot of the typical problems with cheap chinese tablets such as bloatware, slowdown etc.
The main problem seems to be the screen running in 50hz mode which causes stuttering in some emulators. I have played using FPSE, Mupen64, Dead Trigger, NOVA3 and they all run really well, even though the mali drivers are apparently rather out of date.
I use a 32GB SD Card and all seems fine. It's just formatted to FAT.
I have high hopes for this having owned and been thoroughly disappointed with an Archos Gamepad.

I'm interested in buying one of these they have a lot of potential. But the tablet seems too pricey for me. Have any of you guys seen the JXD S3500 or Yinlips YGP13?

PS4 Remote Play With Sony Xperia Z3

Hey Guys and Gals
So we know the Sony Xperia Z3 features PS4 Remote play, anybody going to be grabbing one for this purpose?
It would be great to get the PS4 Remote play feature ported to other devices, lets see what our great developers can do

It's a nice feature and I do plan to pick up a PS4 in the future so it works for me.
Realistically, I probably won't use it much.... perhaps only if I really want to play my game and watch TV/streams at the same time.

I'd honestly love remote play for non games. Eg watching blu ray extras (or even just listening to commentaries). Stuff I can't really be bothered using the full home theatre for. I mean I used to use my PSP for remote playing PlayTV recordings on my ps3

Really interested in this. Hopefully someone can bring it to non Sony devices if Sony doesn't or takes it sweet time doing so.

It's pretty much the only reason I'm considering this phone. Otherwise I'd get a Vita and keep my GS4. Already have a Nyko mount on my PS4 controller (IGN/SMS, no streaming) the GS4

Let's hope Dev's help out owners of other phones so they can enjoy this feature... Sony have stated though that this is exclusive to Sony phones, the newer ones in particular and they won't be making it compatible with other handsets. You can never say never though I guess, personally I can't wait to get a Z3 when I get paid, even though I've only recently bought a Nexus 5 lol

This is the thing I own.

I own the PS4 (Destiny pack) and now the Z3. I don't know how to use remote play? Same Wi-Fi access?
By the way, someone at Sony told me that the official DualShock 4/Z3 smart clip will be released in November.

I have both the Z3 and PS4 destiny too
Unfortunately the proper PS4 remote play app has not been released yet. Yes you can use the Playstation App for second screen etc in the meantime like other smartphones but the remote play feature isn't due until november.

I see, they announced this feature but it's not available yet. Too bad :silly:

This appears to be a neutered version of Remote Play in comparison to what is offered through the Vita. I say this because it sounds as if Remote Play will only work at home on the same WiFi network as your PS4, not over the internet like the Vita's Remote Play offers? Is this true? If so, has the genius Android user base found a way to work around this yet? To me the feature is completely useless if it only works at home, if I am at home I will use my PS4 on a TV.

Why would you even think about serious gaming over 3G or 4G? - The latency will be so high it will just be too much of a lag-fest for it to be playable (I've tried with my Vita and its pants even over Wifi with my PS4 being on fibre optic internet).
The main difference here is that you can use a Dualshock 4 pad with remote play - its the main thing that put me off vita for remote play - them stupid touch buttons underneath had to be used.
As long as Sony make it work properly it will be more than worth the wait - Destiny in bed lol

Oh I am not wanting to play games online with it, just offline stuff.

@zoomee
Dont try to describe lagging, most of them dont understand.

Im afraid we can only use this remote feature when our bootloader is locked with all drm features.
PS Vita has to less power for remote play, it lags a little, using L2 and R2 buttons suck and the screen quality is bad.
The remote play feature was my reason to buy a Z3.

As far as I know, they said the same thing about remote play on the vita. It isn't officially supported, but it works fine. No reason to think it won't be the same on the Z3.

So anybody any idea when it will become available? Just read this morning that firmware update 2.0 for the PS4 will come out on the 28th of October. Hopefully the remote play app will be released as well.

Just in case you have doubts about latency, low frame rate, etc.

That would be great, hopefully someone can confirm this soon.

Does anyone have the game control mount thingy? I ordered it from amazon on the 8th October and it's still out of stock to this day.....

I ordered one from Petra a few weeks ago when they had some in Stock. It works well
