          ShOoTeR™, 04 Nov 2013Hi again, unfortunately i should say within this price ran... moreBrother..xperia L is surly better than m n core..i do not deny but comparing xperia m with core is realy funny...as people do here if xperia m is better in cetratain features..so is galaxy core better in certsin features...so there is no point to compare these two handsets..

          but what is concerned is that currently there are 5 issues having with xperia m
          1. Frequent restart issue
          2. Heating issue
          3. Poor camera quality issue
          4. Poor display visibility issue during day
          5. Last as usual no 3G video call in xperia hansets..athough samsung has managed to add this feature in its some high end devices

          so in my opinion core seems to be good option

              AnonD-194886, 04 Nov 2013Mr.do not confuse people here i have already said every han... moreand do not say that core is great for gaming compared to xperia m as i quote from gsmarena they said: [" As you can see, the Galaxy Core is far from a powerhouse. It will get the job done as long as you are not in a hurry, but don't expect to be impressed by its gaming performance or loading times."] since xperia m has a better cpu gpu chipset it is ideal for playing HD games w/o a problem compared to core,

              Xperia M has newer CPU architecture and uses better ergonomics

              to sum it up xperia m wins in terms of specs [ CPU,GPU,chipset,camera ], low memory
              while core is good only for memory, No HD video recording
              No NFC No ambient light sensor, has no built in shutter key

              -below i have collated some website links that will answer which is better between these two phones, see the response of the people-

                AnonD-194886, 04 Nov 2013Mr.do not confuse people here i have already said every han... moreHi again,
                unfortunately i should say within this price range xperia m is not perfect and has flaws too. i must admit we can't install games at the same time however it is no bother to just switch it from phone storage to sd card for the meantime as it won't take much time. however i would not beleive that the camera quality of core is better, as xperia m can shoot 720p@30fps videos and core can only shoot 480p@30fps videos. aside from that xperia M has HDR [ High dynamic range ] camera. also display quality would be better compare to core as xperia m has ~245 ppi pixel density and core only has 217 ppi pixel density. hd videos can be played as well on xperia m using third party apps.
                I would say benchmarks are very important sir even if you only have low memory as you can stack unused apps on the sd card and reinstall it at a later time as you can't play 3 games at the same time sir.

                -so overall if you gonna compare the specs of these phone you can clearly see that xperia m stands out and if not then you can opt to xperia L which is clearly better than these two phone at the same price range ☺

                  ShOoTeR™, 04 Nov 2013-made some adjustment- Hi, I just noticed that people are... moreMr.do not confuse people here i have already said every handset has its own limitations..do not tell me xperia is best compared to core..for you may be but for me me it sucks..i have used both handsets..i realy like core its performance is amazing ...second thing playing hd games in xperia m you need to uninstall previous games that realy sucks....poor memory..poor camera quality..poor display visibility..do you realy think it does not matter if you think so then i have a big laugh......i still advise you go on you tube and search camparision between xperia m and galaxy core you will find your xperia lags behind galaxy core...

                  Again go n search issue with xperia m..you will come to know where your handset lags behind....Antutu benchmark how can it matter when your cell has poor memory..poor camera quality these are the main and important thing which every handset should have...playing hd videos is not an issue galaxy core plays hd videos as well through vlc n MX player...it is in news that u can npt make 3G calls with xperia although not confirmed yet so what is this handset realy made for

Core have average battery life. Galaxy core is good phone. Galaxy camera good, 4'3 inch screen good not too big not small, internal memory 8gb in which 4.3gb for user. But xperia m best 4 inch screen only with 1.7gb for user. Good for those who want good battery backup, NFC, music experience, led light notification, some high end games like asphalt 8 and others.

                      Hi,
                      I just noticed that people are comparing the 1.2Ghz CPU of core to the 1Ghz CPU of xperia M, although xperia M only has 1GHZ cpu it still outmatched the galaxy core people should see the review made by gsm arena. xperia m wins in all benchmark test by gsm arena compared to galaxy core, in terms of Benchmark Pi and Linpack, Geekbench 2, AnTuTu, Quadrant and GLBenchmark 2.5 Egypt. core lags behind xperia m so technically speaking even though core has 1.2GHZ of processor it still doesn't match the 1GHZ Krait processor of xperia m. AND AS NOTED BY GSM ARENA . " these two [XPERIA L AND M ] have far more capable dual-core Krait CPUs and Adreno 305 GPUs. You also get 720p video recording and, if you side with the Xperia L, an 8MP snapper."

                      - also internal memory is not really a big deal for xperia m, as it has the built in capability to store apps in the sd card. so with all this being said xperia m wins over galaxy core

                                  Brother, 4.3 " screen ,8 gb storage ,1.2 Ghz instead of 1 Ghz are more than sufficient reasons to go for CORE.Pl compare Xperia M with some 4" screen phone.
