I'm looking at getting my feet wet in android land migrating from Blackberry camp. I have looked up several phones and my needs are. A 720p screen, LTE, Good battery life and powerful cpu armed with a decent ram with affordable price. I have narrowed it to 4 phones. A BB z10 just cause it can do android apps. Samsung s4 mini. Sony Xperia V and the one i really want, a Sony compact z1. Any suggestions on which to lean on or alternatives to the above? * +

xperia v isnt powerfull enough now its a dual core .. if u want a powerfull..fone cheaper dan z1...go for zr or zl both are same, except zr is 720pi zl is 1080, zr is waterproof..zl isnt..zr has removable battrey n zl doesnt...rest both have 13mpx cam,2gb ram,quadcore 1.5ghz * +

yea xperia v also has the worst battery out of all the ones i was comparing and that's a crucial point. Looked up e3 and it looks very impressive and only downside is availability in SA, weight, size of the screen and camera. zr however is perfect. below 140g. 720p screen size, LTE, 13MP cam. Surprised though at how affordable e3 is. Is the s4 mini really that bad as some horror stories have me believe? It looks just super and so light and pocketable. And if I'm lucky i'll get an LTE variant. * +

the s4 mini is not powerfull than zr..as u can see display isnt 720pi, ram is 1.5 gb thats ok.. cam is 8mpx, its 1.7 ghz dualcore... an Adreno 305 gpu...wer as zr has Adreno 320 thats any time powerfull than 305...check for xperia sp..thats cheap than zr..but wit 1gb ram an 1.7 ghz dualcore but Adreno 320 gpu * +

john_163 10.10.14 - 08:32pm
as u can see s4 mini is the compact version of s4 but doesnt have that s4 power...wer as zr is compact version of xperia z with same powerfull spec * +

hmm.. so its zr and z1 compact. And being sony I know the music side of things must be done superbly on them. Thank you for all the input @john_163. If all goes well i'll be here in the forums by month end showcasing homescreen or looking up info on rooting. Thanks for the info. I'll see if i can get my hands on one of those 2 Sony phones. * +
