Xperia GX and Xperia SX: First 1080p video samples

And who said pure view was cool? Its so bulky. Look at the Gx. Its so awesome.

Not bad! But I can’t really see any difference in the quality between the two sensors.

Played with these devices today along with others like the hot running Sharp Zeta.

To be honest, I was disappointed with every device I might buy.
Xperia GX in black looks and feels decent in matte black while the matte white looks fine but felt cheap (compared to the black). Like the Galaxy S3, it feels really thin which makes the screen definitely not too big. I quite liked the 2-step camera button (an improvement over the X10 but similar to the Arc I would guess). I liked that the volume rocker zooms as expected unlike the Sharp Zeta that requires you to swipe left and right. The Camera interface was really disappointing and didn’t feel as polished as some other ones (which is weird since Sony Ericsson was the king of the more-polished camera UI). The camera also took 1-4 seconds to fire up with I thought was odd after all the trouble they previously went to for fast starting cameras.

The software on the GX was lackluster and uninspiring but at least it wasn’t touchwiz (although that Galaxy S3 was super super smooth with 2GB of RAM making the GX feel stuttery). Perhaps the demo unit hadn’t been restarted in a long while. The GX plugged into the dock with a big monitor over HDMI and a keyboard/mouse was just awkward. 

The Xperia SX seems like a great successor to the Xperia Ray though.
I have no complaints about the SX except that it is not the phone for me.

Now this whole summer line-up makes me wonder if I should just get a Galaxy Nexus LTE but Sony definitely has the best industrial design in the line-up available to “touch and try” so far.

Well, a few more weeks until the GX pre-orders go up.

In Europe please !!!

I bet we wouldnt interested to hear ur explanation .

“The software on the GX was lackluster and uninspiring but at least it wasn’t touchwiz.” I suppose the GX runs on a docomo skinned version of Android. In some hands on videos I saw 2 UI version. 
1. Sonys own Android UI like on Xperia S and 2. A UI that reminds me of MIUI. 

Yeah, I understand that the software is not final which is why i’ll probably still get the GX but the software was the most uninspiring part of the device. UI/UX Performance-wise, I expect the device should improve but the launcher and camera UI will not.

Sony and Sony Ericsson’s UI/UX is definitely closer to stock while Touchwiz is pretty much an abomination.
I would choose SMC/SE’s alterations over the GS3′s version of Touchwiz, any version of Sense or docomo’s palette UI.

There are so many Galaxy products, I guess I meant the regular Galaxy Nexus which runs pretty smoothly.

In the end, while SMC/SEMC have done a great job at not getting bogged down by android customization like the 1.6 builds for X10, I’m not a big fan of their launcher. But it’s a lot better than palette UI.

Hardware-wise I didn’t really have any problems except the touch feeling of the white GX seemed worse than the black one. If I preorder then I won’t have time wait until the final builds to see if the white materials improve.

pureview was bulky due to its huge sensor. the sensor btw, takes simple 5MP pictures, and uses sw mods, and hardware power to cascade a lots of pixels into one. and so the pics were of such a high resolution. anyways, the pics are bulky too. too high a size for practical use (sharing), and if they compress, you get effective resolution less than advertised. on the other hand, the GX, is sleek (you have *any idea* how sleek it is? and is the pure view sleek? yea maybe ) and take awesome pics and videos (does’nt it?)

anyways. i am a noob. will like to know more. please tell us why the nokia’s so bulky.

Damn-awesome!

I’m partial to the GX (obviously! lol), and the Galaxy S III. Really, TouchWiz doesn’t do it for me, but I’m glad that it’s around, for people who like that kinda thing.

Out of the new phones, only the GX and S3 really stood out. Yet again Domestic Models are trying too hard with overly heavy UIs and super busy notification areas. Not worth the frustration.

As for the Acro HD? I think it’s awesome. I always feel a little jealousy when I see it… I think it definitely has a place, seeing as it’s one of the last great FOMA handsets… Now that everything is heading to XI, unlimited data is going to be a thing of the past. With the Acro HD, you’ll at least have good specs to tide you over for the next couple of years along with your unlimited data. Would I buy one? No…but that’s because I’m not a big fan of all the port covers or the thickness of the phone.

you are actually right here….
why would you need a phone offering a high resolution stuffs whereas you will be needing to compress it later for sharing… lol

and isn’t it DSLR is much better to be used for high resolution pictures? like yeah… there are a lot of so portable DSLR now that offers uncompressed photos (in RAW file) rather than nokia’s which was non-sense…

I think phone companies should really focus on what they are… “PHONE” companies…. so im not with the nokia’s 808 model… and imagine 41MP sensor but still a 20MP DSLR photo is still much better? WTH is wrong with my LIFE O.O hahahahah!!!!
