adreno 225 vs adreno 305 vs adreno 320 - Hardware Hacking General

Hey guys. I am planning get a new android.
I was taking a look on mid range devices and saw sony xperia sp, sony xperia t and samsung galaxy s4 mini.
I really like the design of all of them but the one i like more is sony xperia t.
The only thing i noticed is that has an adreno 225.
Will run properly all hd games? Is still a good phone or i should take a newer one?
Thank you in advance.

I can tell you S4 Mini has a slightly better processor but about the GPU and the title I'm very curious too to know which one is better.

[Q]Will you buy SE stuff again?

Share with us, will you dare to buy sony ericsson phone again?
My opinion - NO, NEVER AGAIN.
All this stuff with the locked bootlader, the huge efforts needed to flash custom rom, and there are again things that doesn't work.
Another thing - the lack of Dual Touch...

You're talking about old phones. On new ones you can unlock bootloader, they have mulitoch...
You cant compare X8 and Xperia Arc....

to be fair, I realy love my Xperia (is my first android phone) and I am satisfied about the performace of this phone, taking into account the price of this smartphone, but it realy suck's that other devices like htc or samsung have the similar or worse hardwer than our xperia and these phone's have latest update of Android softver!
Big thank's to developer's here at XDA, for their efforts to make our phone a better and faster phone, if XDA not exist, I would have sold my phone and buy me another cheaper htc or samsung with the latest update!
I'm pretty sure that my next smartphone will be Xperia Arc or Xperia Play!

When Xperia mini will be available in Hungary, i will buy one. Just compare with other phones in the category: mini is the best buy

Even with the new phones, will SE ever keep updating OS for them? Or just release them to 2.3 and never update to 2.4+ ? Like us, who were abandoned with 2.1?
I agree to the point that newer phones have better hardware spec. But look, compared to other manufacturers, there's nothing impressive from SE. Xperia Arc? SE's best phone? It sucks with Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon 1GHz, in comparison with Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 in Galaxy S II.
What I am most disappointed from SE is they MAKE and they FORGET. Us? They MAKE us BELIEVE them.
Sony Ericsson: make.forget.
X8 will be my last SE phone.
My phone will be iPhone 3G or dual core based on tegra 2 android device THAT ISN'T MADE BY SE!

I love my SE...but, for the same money, i can have LG OO (OS is supporting is incredible). For the first time, when i saw the Xperia Arc i say: This is my future phone, but i be afraid of the OS supporting. Now for me. I will buy in future other Android device (probably something from Acer or (I never believed that I say) HTC), or Nokia with WP7.
Sorry for my bad english.
Well, X8 has a very nice hardware comparing it to the price, but lack of support is just killing. I know they want us to buy new mini series next year, but I'm not going to give in. Next time it will be some nice HTC or Samsung - I'm thinking about Galaxy Pro. Or something like Wildfire S, but with better display resolution. We'll see next year

But next time for phone... HTC

It's mini!
Actually, I changed my mind about SE phones...
My next droid will be LG, because they have lousy devs and cracking/unlocking bootloader is easy. I think best support talking custom **** is on LG's side.
If you want better (custom) - buy LG phone.
True, true..
Im really doubtful if i will buy a SE again. One plus side with SE is that they have opened the bootloader for the newer phones.
Maybe I'm a fan of SE but my phone is X10 mini pro were abandoned ( no upgrade to 2.2 or 2.3). I can change branch in future.
@ doixanh :
That video is compare ARC with galaxy SII >>>> no fair for ARC .
Hình chụp thì tay cầm ARC bị run tay >>> hình nhòe đi so với SS Galaxy SII còn video thì bấm chậm hơn,chán nản + thất vọng.
Both ARC and Galaxy SII are latest phones from both company. That's fair to compare them
Mình đâu có quan tâm đến ảnh/quay đâu, nhìn con SII nó mượt trong browser thế kia cơ mà... ARC vẫn đuối lắm

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.
Source Link: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/05/09/xperia-gx-and-xperia-sx-announced-by-sony-mobile-japan/
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
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
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!

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 .

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.

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.

well Samsung, I think I'll stick with Sony for a while. They're just too good to miss.
