As I could tell, the only thing that is a step back from the Uni is:
Smaller screen
No GPS (although there's an inline headphone GPS version, from what I can tell, without replaceable headset)
Memory Stick =/
However, it does have features that set it apart from the Uni:
800x480 VGA screen. Widescreen, not 4x3 like the Uni's 640x480 display.
Slider (not clamshell). This depends on your preference, but for me I like to see who's calling without having to open the phone up
Optical joystick - this is really awesome. You just slide your finger on it and it guides and onscreen pointer. I've gotta see this.
Headsets have an inline media control accessory. I haven't really found one that works with the Uni.
Camera is 3.2 mp.
Bluetooth 2.0/ADCP by default. Assuming this won't be buggy.
Wifi G - nuff said.
Assuming better battery life.
Smaller. I guess this could be a benefit depending on your opinion on the size of the Uni.

No wonder Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X1 is so good: HTC makes it
please be advised there is some posts about sonyericsson x1 on off topic thread and ,.....
and i think you should to know: this device will be MANUFACTURED by HTC
the X1 is all HTC-built
http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/no-wonder-sony-ericssons-xperia-x1-is-so-good-htc-makes-it/
it seems there is no further than HTC

It also has a-GPS

I think it looks the dogs danglies, I don't care who makes it. Just look at that screen (dribble dribble)

That damned Sony Memory Stick is the only thing holding it back (I so hate Sony's proprietary garbage). But if it lives up to its promises...I guess that'll be forgiveable!

Hi,
we heard it through the grapevine that the X1 is all HTC-built....
This is what engadget wrote . But i also think it is true. All these htc devices all around....
I think HTC is some kind of reference for the mobile market.
Although some things very crappy in the past
So from my point of view the X1 is really nice device. I noticed it a few days before and of course there's GPS inside.
Although the sliding mechanism looks very comfortable.
The Uni is very universal but in fact it is too big, to use it as a real phone or take it everywhere anytime. At least this is what i do at the moment
The Kaiser is also a good mixture for an everyday device
Maybe the X1 will do it even a bit more better.
But first let's rip off the memory stick interface and integrate SD cards....
scholbert

Sony does make some damn fine electronics, but their customer support is lousy. But the phone looks good, memory sticks suck and the last I checked don't have anything over 4GIGS the touch interface looks neat, and if the keyboard is anything like my old UX then it will be a great keyboard my only concern will be Sony's support of the product.
So basically it is the same thing as the Toshiba except for the video call is that correct?

GSM arena has it with a micro SD slot so it will be interexting to see what it actually has when its released. I like the security of the Clamshell design of the Uni but i might be drawn away by the X1 if its all that it states....
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x1-2246.php

If Sony is reading this I hope to god they:
Use STANDARD SD size so we can store large amounts of data, to be comperable to iPhone
Include GPS so we can use tracking apps that are becoming commonplace

Both pdadb.net confirms the microSD and Sony's own site confirms the GPS

My only worry is the weird proprietry connector it has for USB - although it looks like a miniUSB cable could plug into it (hopefully its just htc's ExtUSB)

HTC HD3 Concept

This is how HTC HD3 would have to look to be a perfect device for me.

Some specifications don't exist yet, but hey, we're allowed to dream right?
In my graphic novel (which takes place 5 years from now) one of the characters uses this phone. It's just not called HTC HD3. I'm obsessed with details so I had to designed it before drawing it in his hand. Made entirely in Photoshop.

Too good to be true.

Are you publishing your novel anywhere ?

Looks like it's sharp enough for me to spread cheese onto my toast in the morning.

The carbon fiber look sick.

I was going for a very thin yet solid look (forgot to mention in the specs that the case is made out of metal). Guess your right - it looks sharp. Oh well, that just gives the device another function - kitchen knife.

Haha, nope. Still working on it, but it's nice you asked.

looks very nice i must say and the specs are awesome, if only......
and tell us more about the book.....

Not bad, I just don't like the screen going right to the edge at the bottom, it's also technically unrealistic, even moreso as it looks curved, at least for the timeframe an HD3 would likely be released...
Truetouch is fun, maybe one day with flexible OLEDs... but that would be in many years (5-10), while how it goes now an "HD3" would be due to be out next year

Wow, nice design.
But a 8mb camera on such a thin phone its impossible.
Anyway, you have quite some design talent!

Beautiful mate. Where do I sign for one?

Very nice

Just a short note:
Microsoft won't allow any UI changes within WP7S. Is HTC Sense 3 meant to be for Android (but the picture shows WinMo in the background).
Specs seem too good to be true, the others leaked some time ago seem more realistic (for example 1.5 GHz Snapdragon). But, I hope these points you posted are correct, especially dual-boot.

photoshop ok good work but i wouldn't want it
sorry

Droool!.........want my credit card details right now?

Hmm.. I'd rather see the screen completely edged. So no carbon fiber on the sides at all ..
Overall it does look slick.. Good job on this one.

That's not Carbon Fiber on the sides - those are two huge stereo speakers

What's the point of stereo speakers that close to each other? Useless like on most phones that have them, only good to add a line to the spec list for marketing

They might by BOSE super acoustic speakers that can project the sound!!!!!!!
FFS people it's a bloody concept, stop getting hung up about it's spec lol.
It's a excellent piece of graphics design, you clearly have some skills. Now please design a decent WVGA Coreplayer skin

the current HD2 already very good

NOTE - the concept wasnt made by me credits to VictoR
We always dream that one day sony will make a nice phone,i saw a few concept art pics and put them together!

Hmmmm.
Now that i would pay for.
Here's dreaming.

The first phone in the thread should be sended to SE to actually make it!

loved the first one..
honestly, in my opinion SE has the best phone designs already, i mean look at the others, samsung, htc, iSh.t, they all look same ie. with circular corners.
none of them can compete with x10 or arc design..

all of these are sexy. These are how the next gen should look, oh so sexy!!

Seconding this. Just make the x10's bottom bezel smaller and the phone thinner and you have my perfect phone, aesthetically speaking.

Don't care about making phones thinner just for marketing reasons, in fact this annoys me, I'd rather have a slightly fatter phone with a 2000mAh + batt.
But ideal phone would have a 3000mAh bat and function like a camera with xeon flash and 1080p recording at least 30 frames/s. With exmor sensor and large lens (if they as good as they make out they will b unbelievable with a larger lens). Ability to quickly launch the camera with no delay. Size can be same as the x10 but thicker. Sure the designers can still make it look 'sexy'.
Of course running the latest android with unlocked bootloader. No need for dual core just yet but decent graphics performance. 1ghz + Adreno 205/220. With at least 16gb fast flash, 512 ram and micro sd slot.
Also want host usb (ie can connect usb drives and keyboards) and hdmi out. With all the usual features we've come to expect with a phone.

The Gear VR doesn't look so good on there. Hopefully it comes down to features and build quality.

At this point there is nothing better than gear vr for note 4. Glasses with integrated display dont use phone as source then they shouldnt be included here. All other except gear vr are not connected to phone, they glorified google carboard. Inclusion of nfc is not significant when comparing to gear vr because oculus app starts automatically when note 4 is inserted into gear vr and gear vr has dedicated touchpad and "back" button. BTW you can run all carboard apps while using gear vr but not vice versa. Gear vr experience is very smooth and headset has built-in gyro to assist head tracking.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

I had the VWTech and used a Moga Pro to play some games just to see what it was like, in all fairness the effects were spectacular, obviously i've never used one of these things before but for a fraction of the price I thought it was a steal, having the ability to watch 3D movies using only your phone on what appears to be a massive screen is amazing for what £15 ??
Some of the games like Space Terror are terrifying when you've got some decent headphones on.
I can understand the need for a thread too as one thing I had a problem with was the comfort, if I was to watch a movie or something for a prolonged period of time it'd hurt your nose, some of the other ones listed in this thread appear to have better protection for your face.
Haven't tried the VR and in all fairness if I was going to spend £180 on a VR headset, it would be for the Oculus Rift and not the VR, AFAIK the gear VR does not allow the connection of 3rd party peripherals, like your PC for example, unlike the Oculus, but for £20 or less I think the cardboard examples are good value for money.
EDIT: Can I just ask if anyone has used these, which one actually utilizes the full screen size of the note 4?
thanks.

Wow, that was so nice. How about the FOV of Xiaozhai?

app/mod
Hi guys,
I am thinking of buying one of these. But it will only pay up if I can use my phone in "VR-mode" continuously (in whole Android OS). For the moment I saw just few apps that allow me using the VR-glasses with some games and Video-players.
Is there somewhere an application (Xposed module or something flashable) that allows me doing that?
Theoretically it isnt that hard. You just have to rearrange the video output.

Hi, there is a vnc server and a cardbiard vnc client. Not the best option, but....

I am using china made vr. There is 2 problem i can never get rid of the heating ang drifting problem even i already calibrate it. Anyone facing the same issues here?

Doogee X5 REVIEW - A $59 phone

You can look here: http://www.doogeemobile.com/blog/how-to-root-doogee-hone/

Doesnt work. This is for g550 phone. Look javierin the comments. This is me. So please, put real info. Iknow how to search in google too.

No, they are reseller and in this foro the root they mention isnt a root for doogeex5. It does not work.

I managed to get myself a decent deal on a Doogee X5 here for $59,99, and this is my review of the phone itself:
http://www.dd4.com/goods/Original-D...HD-IPS-5.0MP-sim-dual-Wcdma-Unlock_60658.html
The X5 is Doogee’s entry to the budget phone market and the reason why it caught my eye was that it boasts a 5” 720P screen a quad core MediaTek CPU as well as Android 5.1 for less than 60 USD, which is almost unbelievable at this price point.
The box the phone came in was rather plain with some details regarding the specifications, IMEI and such, but other than that there’s not much worth mentioning. Inside the box is the phone itself, a short manual as well as a charger for the phone. So when it comes to the phone itself it’s completely made out of plastic, but it feels very solid due to a built-in metal construction. On the side of the phone there’s a power button and volume rockers, and on the front there’s a 720P IPS panel with decent viewing angles.
When it comes to the CPU, it boasts a Mediatek MTK6580 CPU that provide decent performance for daily usage (such as YouTube, browsing the web etc.) and it compares to the Snapdragon 400 system-on-a-chip. The main performance drawback is the built-in GPU, Mali 400, which leaves much to ask when it comes to performance in games and other 3D applications.
So when it comes to the software experience I’m pleased, as it’s a very pure version of Android with just a few additional applications. The UI is very fluid and smooth, and I’ve not noticed any major issues when navigating the phone, other than a few stutters when running many applications at once, which I suspect is related to the limited amount of ram.
This phone comes with a 2100mAh hour battery from the company BAK Battery (2300mAh according to doogee, which is false) and that combined with the MTK CPU provides decent battery life. With 50% of brightness, it lasts about a day or two with a simcard in the phone and about 2-3 days with no simcard. However, if you increase the brightness to 100% you’re likely to see big battery drops and therefore I recommend keeping it around 50-60% at most – the lower the better.
The phone isn’t free from drawbacks and the one that’s most noticeable is the camera, which is not very decent and provides kind of mediocre results. The videos and pictures taken with it looks all grainy and noisy and therefore this isn’t a phone for the camera enthusiast to say the least, but it’s okay for simple Facebook pictures and what not. Another drawback is the internal speaker which is loud but have a tinny sound, but at this price point this is very common.
So overall, I’ve had this phone for a few weeks now and I’ve had no major complaints, and with this sort of value for 60 USD I can’t do anything than to recommend this phone. It’s one of the better budget phones I’ve tried and its worth having a look at it if you’re on the lookout for good budget phone!

I got Doogee this weekend and I found it a great deal for its price.
So far I've had a huge problem with it; After 5 mins it loses its data connection and mobile connection. I have tried configuring APN, and many other configurations and I haven't been lucky at all. The phone should work with my carrier cause it runs a 850/1900 mhz band. Any hint about it?
