The Official Xperia S thread

[rssd21]

I saw so many people complained on Sony SG's facebook page and they literally do nothing about it. Last time I went to Junction 8 to get my phone replaced and they were pretty rude toward me too .

How did they treat you? You are the customer, you should be the one to be raise your voice and be nasty.

[rssd21]

too bad bro
Ir time to move on
mobile phone wont last u 10yrs hahaha
time to look for a new phone and sell it
better sell within this mth
as new sony looming
plus iphone5 and note 2

as now xs value has drops quite some liao or u wait longer if become no value

Although the xs is branded as sony, it is actually the legacy of SE so its value diminish quite fast compare to other phones.

Yeah, now sony gets it right with the latest hardware (not counting LG with S4 quad-core) and good design like TX and V.

The thing they still dont get it - information about availability, as analysed by the xperiablog. As a phone maker, when you announced a new product you should also announce the release date.

hahaha now u wanna compare specs
sony all along spec is outdated hahaha

lg even with latest quad it still one or the worst
remmebe lg on first dualcore or still a flop so lg is not even on same league as Sammy or HTC or sony

sony on s4 qualcomm is not latest liao lor it just a late comer

what sony to me is better camera and design lor specs wise is not on the top any more

ya sony all along.value is one of the low ranking. so if u don't like it better dump fast
if u like it then ok lor keep it
like I keep my arc s till I upgrade it hahaha

as for launch date well the logistics maybe not as good on sony side to official say a date unlike Sammy or apple lor
always delay one

same for sony others products maybe it just too japan mkt first still play a part lor

 

[pker88]

so now hope sony will Buck up more on their later paer of the year for their new models or not also no comments too
as iphone5 and Sammy

The auntie didn't really care about what I had to say, I asked her questions about the repair process and how long it will take and she kept on finding ways to end the conversation.

Then in the end, she gave me a crappy candy bar phone (the model is I think K580i something). I objected because I was using a smartphone, why did I have to downgrade to a crappy phone like that ? Then I asked her why did I have to wait 1 month to get my Xperia S repaired ? She told me that I either take it or leave it since they don't have the LCD parts right now.

I was really pissed at that point but I explained to her that for Samsung or Apple I normally get replaced right away if they don't have the parts in house to replace my phone. Even HTC only makes me wait at most 1-2 weeks to get my phone repaired. Then she told me that I can speak to her manager if I have further issues.

Of course, I called and complained the next day and they finally agreed to replace my Xperia S with a new phone for me. Needless to say, even though I love my Xperia S, I really think twice about buying another Sony now .

Samsung won't replace. They will fix it on the spot. They have enough spare parts.

Apple replace you with another refush model.

Sony replace a brand new one for u. I think that is quite good liao.

S4 is still new and it is better than any Quad Core processor used in S3 or HTC, more cores does not mean it is good and it is definitely more battery hungry for more cores. What matters are the processing speed and benchmark performance.

In terms of specs, Sony might not have the best but they are still strong on their Camera, Music quality and now of course, their display with the BRAVIA Engine.

 

[SINple]

the new processor is the s4 pro. with 4 krait core. s4 is old already

Its a fact that quad-core will be better than dual-core on equal grounds, but S4 soc is better than A9 based soc (quad core or not). This time S4 is 2012 chip so sony is not using last year hardware for T/TX and V.

For the record, other android phones are also not for value. Only fruity phones are good in value if you look into trade in options.

Sony camera is actually good if you ask me, be it in normal or lowlight settings. One cant really get good pictures if he does not know how to capture it.

Sony design is still top notch while hardware is much better than predecessors if not top end.

Sony is making 2 big mistakes - main focus on its country market and not firm release date for new products.

The new S4 pro available now is APQ chip, not msn chip. Without the cell modem, it is not as energy efficient as msn chip.

Btw, according to your logic that S4 chip is old, then A9 based chip (exynos 4, tegra 3) is also old.

Actually she is right in a way, she is only a worker so it does not matter what you told her. Its a waste of time to deal with workers like that. It does not happen only at sony service centre, I got this sh!tty service from laghub and sinktel too.

I usually choose to speak to manager or someone with authority to get my way. No complain, no results.

Like one of my earlier post (forgot in which thread), the xs is the legacy of SE era as seen some of the proto type models are still labelled as SE brand.

Here are the few reasons that sony did not push out T/TX and V earlier.

- Kill its own sales:
SE legacy phones - NXT phones (xs, xp, xu) are announced in Mar. It will be suicide to push out S4 phones alongside S3 phones, not to mention the high number of phone release at same time.

- Not enough resources:
Sony (mobile division) only take over SE early this year, restructuring and probably not enough resources, time and cash-flow for faster developments. Sony also cut a lot of manpower this year.

- Slow development:
S4 dual core chip was released early this year, S4 pro was only available at the 2nd half of 2012. Lack of manpower and sony is still releasing ICS update to its whole xperia line-ups up till today.

- Competition:
Sony is waiting for release of gs3 and ifruit 5 during 2nd half of the year, to challenge them with new phone release. They may not admit it but you must understand Japanese are very competitive and ambitious even when they are lacking in some ways.

For the year 2013, i hope sony really look at other chip makers like and use real A15 chips like STE A9600 (28mn, up to 2.5ghz dual core, powerVR SGX6 [rogue]), Tegra 4 or TI omap 5432.

A9 chips < qualcomm S4 chips < A15 chips

Sony will always be bias and focus on its own country, next will be major countries like China and UK.

Overall, there is nothing to complain about xs but its screen display issue. Sony is really ill-prepared to do screen replacement for xs after its sale of LCD venture to sammy. Bad timing for sony.

I would still like the idea of nokia android, too bad its sold its soul to windows. No like its metro UI.
