iPhone got OWNED!

[Mikal]

Always  the same  in advertising: "sequence shortened, steps removed", and "not game footage".

Alot of 'false' advertising no matter how good their product is.

I don't know about newer phones, but Sony Ericsson phones released in 2011 got really crappy Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4. Laggy, lots of bugs and some other stuff. Recently SE released a new update, where the only thing that changed was the release number. Nothing else has been noticed.

Files were checked by Android custom ROM developers at xda-developers forum.

Hope that is not the case on newer, Sony, phones.

Nothing extremely revolutionary. All that hardware won't even be used, I like the fact that it's waterproof though.
And to be fair, any smartphone produced in 2010 or later is better than iPhone.

FULL HD 1080p Display with Bravia Engine V2 and Adreno 305 GPU!! and you say that's not revolutionary?

Inb4 market spams with Full HD handsets now.

Unrealistic. Stop like that at a  crossing and watch your  phone, bi­tch  better be prepared for when she gets  pushed under a bus :banana:

Also that guy in the bar with the TV. Them niggas be mad that he i) paired the phone to it, ii) stopped them watching football.

Atleast the phone will survive being run over the bus.  That's DLNA technology he used at the bar btw.

iPhone camera sensors are manufactured by Sony

and @ Janar : Is your phone rooted? I recently rooted my phone, and I never noticed any lag before rooting it, now after its rooted I'm using flykernel and OC to 1.6Ghz, running smoother than JB. Mine is a 2011 Xperia Ray btw. I never had any problems, also yes, newer ones are lag free.

I don't use stock ICS, it is just so crap. I use custom ROMs, based on ICS, but that are fully customized. Or sometimes when I get problems, I temporarily use Gingerbread. Still, nothing beats GB performance.

And overclocking your ray to 1.6 Ghz is not so good idea. Might burn it quite easy.

[Radagast]

I'd never buy a phone that doesn't work right out of the box. All this modification should be completely unnecessary.

I like Stock ICS + ac!d audio engine and the status bar mods,  My ICS beats GB I'd say, and as I thought, yours is rooted, did you root it before upgrading to ICS or after?

And I use flykernel, try it out, Ray has a snapdragon armv7 processor, easily overclockable upto 2Ghz. with doomlord's kernel. I use it at 806Mhz. - 1.605 Mhz. at all times on flykernel, with no frills cpu.

Someone with an iPhone wouldn't understand Android customizations , imagine if you could over clock your iPhone or run another software on it, make it do things no other phone can.  :devroll:

My phone worked right out the box btw, it was the best at the time, all those modifications are not needed, but used by users just for customization.

Exactly the way we mod our GTA, we do not need it, but some of us like different things.

Semaphore kernel + Cyanogenmod 9.
Nothing better than that.

[ElMartu]

The best of sony in a smartphone

lol

[Matt Murdock]

I use flykernel + MIUI Jelly Bean ROM atm, the one I liked the most was flykernel + ICS Ultimate HD 2.0 with modded themes and Ac!d engine.

For those saying there's no gameplay footage, the phone released a couple of hours ago in CES2013, wait for it, till then, the last one is a link to the youtube playlist, by which you can know about ALL the features of the phone.

I'm actually happy with Sony, mine is the 10th Sony phone in our family, none of them EVER gave any problems, when Samsung ones didn't last even 6 months.

And I was among the first ones to get ICS when it came out, other manufacturers like Samsung and HTC never even provided the ICS upgrade to their users.  :devroll:

This topic made me think phones just got complicated..

[Pude]

The fact it's water proof or can handle water being poured on it is so badass..
And it's one of the best looking phones so far.
Altough i've been very satisfied with S3, i could switch it to this.. Who knows

Sony is kinda late with their flagship because next Qualcomm is just around the corner..

The Nokia 9500 Communicator was a pretty good smartphone. And you could smash in a window with it, something impossible with an iPhone...

Now unless Apple makes an iPhone with:
- 4G connection
- dual SIM cards for international calling/data and voice separation
- WiFi on full speed
- possibility to use it as modem
- HD screen
- external connection to keyboard and screen
- storage capacity of 200Gb with options to expand

They are not making any innovative phone.

For the future they would need:
- Built-in HD projector
- roll-up 12" screen
- projected keyboard
- DVB-S receiver

[Mikal]

- possibility to use it as modem

Do any phones have that?

[Mopreme]

iPhone is only owning themselves. How? Look at their price. They are selling, no need to go forth and back on that, but any device made my that brand is overpriced.
And Gandalf, 200GB? Really? Why not implement a 1TB SSD while they are at it?
