Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

[GTcervan]

I just received the phone that I ordered, a Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact

I wish more manufacturers would offer smaller form factors of their flagship phones. I feel that even the 5" Sony Compact is a bit too big for me.

Kumusta naman ang performance ng new phone? Hindi naman laggy?

Not at all, I was surprised at how much snappier it feels compared to my old phone (Xperia Z5 Premium). I do not play games, though, so YMMV

Thanks! I got an advert email from Sony, and was instantly interested due to the performance/size ratio

Then the xz2 compact is almost perfect for you.

Indeed, maybe a quarter inch less width and half an inch less height, would be perfect.

Ahh sana nga ganyan na mga new xperia models. I had two old xperia mobiles eh. The 1st one was the budget friendly xperia l which is still with me and then an xperia m4 aqua was given to me by my mom but it was returned when i got a new phone months ago kaya relieved din ako after ilang years eh.

In my experience, both phones become laggy after some time of use. Maybe it is due to the small ram and internal memory kaya ganun. Puros internet lang naman ginagawa ko. Cameras were also inferior than other phones, especially the m4 aqua. But both of them have good battery lives for my use though it could have been better. Ok pa ang walkman/music app na standard sa mga xperia models vs. the standard ones of other phones. Tsaka since hindi naman sya hotcakes sa karamihan ng tao, may unique na dating parin ang xperia sakin.

Sana nga lang improvin pa ng sony yan kase when i look at the reviews sa gsm and they compare their equivalent flagship to an s7, s8 or iphone 8, etc. madalas laging last spot parin siya sa mga comparison tests nila kaya i can't help but feel dull about it although if I'm about to buy one again, hindi ko naman magiging basehan yun sa aking pagpili.

I used to be a sony fan kasi and my family have their appliances. Aside from their phones, merong playstations, tvs, cameras and radios sa home namin pero puro luma na mga ito, not the latest ones.

may chance kaya ma-upgrade ang Samsung S7e sa android Oreo?[emoji848]

i'm considering also to get a Sony Xperia because of its LDAC bluetooth which is a good match to my sony wireless headphone.

but if ma-upgrade sa android oreo ang s7e, i read that oreo comes with ldac bluetooth so no need na bumili ng xperia[emoji1]

Is the LDAC feature software-based, no need for additional hardware?

Also, the new Xperias have eliminated the headphone jack, so an adapter must be used when using wired headphones (the adapter is in the box naman)

i believed it will be software based.

although my s7e aptX bluetooth still meets my musical needs and sound more than satisfactory, i like to try the LDAC feature of my wireless headphone. the only way is to have a LDAC capable source to match and Xperias are one of them.

You got me interested in LDAC-capable headphones. I just purchased a pair a few months ago, sadly neither LDAC nor aptX are supported (although the noise cancellation is top-notch).

So now I have to do some research and hope that the new cans won't break the bank.

i guessed you got the QC35? good noise cancelling indeed. i have both qc35 and sony mdr-1000x. both have its own merits. more features for the mdr though, and it suits wirelessly well with my s7e aptX bluetooth.

you might want to check out Sony's WH-1000MX2, the newer version of the MDR-1000X which i have. its on sale now. it will definitely compliment your new Xperia being same brand and carrying the LDAC codec. the B&W PX might be good to consider as well

My LG V20 died last Friday. Unable to power on. Changing battery or charging it does not power it on. Brought sa GH and was told after diagnosing na baka logic board na problem. Kung kelan pa out of warranty saka nasira. Might replace it nalang with OnePlus 5T. Ang mahal ng S9+. Willing lang ako gumastos ng malaki kung yung Note 9 will have the fingerprint scanner just like sa S9/S9+.

Yikes, been using V20 din pa naman. Had a bad experience with the G4, out of warranty din nagka-issue. Sa board din daw problem. Pero G5 at itong gamit ko so far ok pa naman.

[marky2115]

Last I did was update yung stock-based kernel. Rooted yung V20 ko but still using stock ROM. Not sure kung dahil ba sa kernel na gamit ko but it was running fine for several days bago nagkaissue. Gusto ko talaga yung V20 even if major problem ang image retention. Currently using my old LG G3 pero problema naman nito yung WiFi tapos pati SIM card tray. Both inipitan ko ng papel or a small card para gumana. Yung WiFi, 5GHz nalang gumagana properly. Di tuloy ako makagamit hotspot using G3

Ah rooted pala. I am still on stock. Hindi din issue sa akin image retention kasi oncr opened na ibang app wala naman problem.

Asus ZenFone 5 (2018) and 5Z are intriguing phones.

Liking OnePlus 5T so far. My 1st Android phone na stock ROM yet very smooth. No bloatwares and really close to pure Android. Unfortunate that it has no expandable storage (sayang 128GB microSD ko) but I'll just periodically backup/transfer files to Google Drive or to my PC.
