AnonD-44008, 02 Aug 2012What does overlocked means? Does it mean a new processor wi... moreWell hypotheticly overclocked means to speed up the capacity of processing of a CPU. But in this case they also say it will be a s4 snapdragon instead of an s3 version which is in the xperia s (s3 that is). Basicly this chiP comes clocked at 1.5 Ghz as made from Quallcom but Sony's engineers will overclock it to maintane an upgrade Which I think is useless because they could have sold the xperia s with the newer processor the first time. It's the same rip-off story as the xperia arc and arcS

Mine just developed the "case crack" after one week's use and I can't get any joy from Samsung. Never gonna touch a Samsung phone again, even if given away for free!

But still its the best design among others brands. As i knows sony are the first to comeout with the idea of "human hand curve design" introduction of sony ericsson vivas. Iam sure they already knows how it works.

                      i dnt think this phone is gorgeous . May be it looks good but practically its ugly . This cuboidal brick like design with no curved or rounded edges is very difficult to be held in one hand . Not to mention its size will make it harder to operate one handedly . May be it is the reason why apple, sammy, and htc went for curved designs.

                            What does overlocked means? Does it mean a new processor with high speed or the same processor with some tweeks to make it 1.7 instead of 1.5 can anyone please explain it? Thanks

                              I really wished sony put specs what the S3 has in it coz sony xperia phones have sooo much style to there look. The screens are nice aswell considerin its only lcd. And its nice and smooth. But once you play around with the S3 it shows why its the best selling phone. Sony please up the specs and catch up. Just like nokia, they have the look and the camera but behind on specs etc...

                                      Why do Sony makes their phones so ugly? I don't see the point of making a phone that doesn't fit in you hand very well, is uncomfortable to hold and looks like a pile of shit. Other then that they make pretty good phones
