@jesonk,

Many of us have been following this site for many years. From the time it was only to now more open forum. The present discussion regarding the screen for a rumored device belongs to a thread dedicated to discussion about rumored devices. These aren't really rants but more like demand that is expressed by each and everyone. Most of us here love Sony/Sony Ericsson/ Ericsson but, luckily many of us aren't blind. If Sony can be competitive, its good for them. Unfortunately, has been lagging behind in this department just like when they had hard time shifting front 65k to 16m color displays. That time too everyone were against 16m because Sony Ericsson didn't have, but now I bet none of you would prefer old 65k.

Btw If you really log in here only for rumours and not discussions then please check out the first page of this thread or xperiablog.

@motovikt

I would chill down if you ask Mediar to stop posting his personal opinion/hate as FACTS !!!
He has been doing the same since a long time, first saying Sony Ericsson shipped more phones than Sony did this year and now saying Xperia Mint has poorer viewing angles than Xperia Pro.

If he can post such rubbish, then worf1000 isn't wrong posting either arguing with him.

BB10 has a huge potential! I felt that when I played with the Playbook before it was upgraded and have been following the developments of the OS closely.

I dare say it has the potential to be as good if not better than Android.

One thing is certain, I am getting a 'Bold' running on BB10 next year.



But Windows phone 8 is lot better than BB10..
Why do u feel its better or simillar to android ? care to explain?


Very hard to say. Know that every mobile or desktop OS has their own benefits and flaws.

Key strengths about BB10:
Full Exchange ActiveSync license and feature set support - yet per device cost; this is industry standard for all Exchange accounts and every use - gmail uses something very similar yet not exact hence no license needs to be paid.

10'000 active connections simultaneously too each exchange server.

MDS allows for compression behind RIMs firewalls : this means incredible secure (3x 3DS encryption) compression, huge data savings for corporations and end users!! Think of how much data it costs to download full emails & attachments for 100 emails!

An OS with huge ties already in the automotive and home control industry. Only Aplle is making a huge push in 2013 to change things. This is way beyond NFC.

honestly, this thread has become beyond ignorant and childish. I'm baffled by how this thread is not being moderated, and I've PMd the moderators too. piss poor job to be quite frank.

after two weeks of inactivity here due to the fanboy rants and pointless arguments, I come back to the same rants and arguments. And here I was thinking this was a rumors thread. to anybody who only wants to hear about rumors and non of these non sense I suggest you head on over to the Xperia S general thread over at XDA. Where people actually stick to the topic and mods actually moderate the thread. I feel bad for ricky D, he actually did a pretty good job but all these nonsensical posts have, imho, destroyed this thread. and I've been a part of this forum for a long while now, sad to see it go downhill.

Please guys, return to the main topic (Rumours) this thread becomes so annoying and useless in these last pages...

If you have discussions regarding which technology is better then open a new topic and don't ruin this one...


I bet there's a lot of peoples here don't know to which point we reached because all of these Off-Topics... can some one please re-post the sum of all info we have now ?

Just stumbled on a developer forum about the PSMobile SDK which uses mono (an open sourced .NET), the SDK is ver 0.9 so the final release is very close. I do hope PSMoble proves to be a better game platform than android itself. it's annoying that not all android games would run on an android device when Google itself told everyone that Android apps are cross platform, but now we have games that would only run specifically on a tegra or Snapdragon. that's one reason why iOS is miles ahead of Android in game development. hopefully the final release of PSM would solve this.

btw @randomuser, will gaikai be licensed to other brands or just for Sony itself?

I am not sure but from what little I've heard and my own guess, it will be exclusive to Sony.

Looking forward to seeing the Mint. And just for the record I think Sony make amazing phone displays nicer and more natural than AMOLED.
Phone?? What phone??

I personally think it's a wise decision, as Sony needs to exercise all their strengths to compete in the aggressive smartphone market. having the ability to play very high quality game content on an Xperia/Bravia/PSVita will boost their image especially since PS4 is said to pack some serious punch in the HW and the game experience are expected to be miles better.

about the display issue everyone's arguing about, while it's true that was behind everyone on the 16M during those times, one must not forget that 's 65K and 256K displays are far superior than everything has to offer that time. just to refresh everyone's mind here and to prove that Sony was not "always" behind in the display department:

C905 (256K) vs N95 (16M)



W995 (256K, Regular LCD) vs Nokia N86 8mp (AMOLED 16M)



K850 (256K) vs Xperia X1 (65K )





C902 (256K) vs 6300 classic (16.7M)



W580 (256K) vs Samsung U600 (16M)



K770 (256K) vs 6120Classic (16M)



K660 vs 6300 -


some pictures credit to Amras here in esato

also Eldar commends displays during those times, stating that they're market's best. honestly If sony could bring Crystal LED on a mobile screen It will be better than using OLEDs, as CrystalLEDs have longer lifespan and warmer colors (perfect for movies and games) OLEDs are typically bluish

Yes, I agree that in the past SE phones used to have the best displays, but not any more. When I compare my Xperia Pro with my W910, the results are the same as in razec's first picture - N95 vs C905 ( W910 is C905 in this case ). Or, ok, not that bad, but Pro's display isn't any better than W910's. And it definitely even has worse viewing angles. So it's got worse.

The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand...

^^ I think it has something to do with brightness mate: 16M mode gives more brightness than a regular 256K unit, and with LCD's science, more brightness = less contrast, if Sony would make their screens just bright enough and not too much, then I think they can be as good as the displays of the past. besides I'm pretty sure not everyone turns their display at full brightness as it would be suicidal to their eyes, my friend's Galaxy SII was too bright when in full brightness and he typically only use half of it.
