AnonD-48981, 03 Apr 2012which one is better between xperia play or xperia sola?If you are onto gaming, Xperia Play is better since it has a gaming controller slider. But! Xperia Sola has a better GPU and better CPU. With it's a bit smaller screen compare to Play, gaming is a bit hard. So, in terms of hardware, Sola is better than Play

        On the question of is the 512ram in the Sola enough to run ICS it is worth reading this article from Sony themselves.
        http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2012/03/30/learn-about-the-technical-differences-between-gingerbread-and-ics/

        Under ICS 340mb ram is reserved for the Linux user space only leaving 172mb for running and stored (non main memory/SD stored) applications.
        In the article Sony basically say that there are limitations to running ICS on 512 RAM and users may get a better user experience by staying on Gingerbread.

        Why oh why does this phone only have 512mb RAM?

                  I am also interested to hear about any phone that runs a manufacturer's ICS version with less RAM.

                    Sony said that it is a mid-range phone. So it has mid-range specs too, 512MB RAM, 1GHz dualcore, 3.7" screen & so on.

                      Got no problem with the spec cause I'm a non hardcore user, but the design its like one device sitting on top of the other
                      And the battery capacity too which is a bit worrying, even the little xperia ray got 1500 mAh

                          Floating touch is nice and the specs are great too
                          But the design (from the side) its like one device sitting on top of the other, which is a turn off for me :[

The hardware just need to run both types of matrix detection. Sony have just bought out the first device to support it (hardware wise) and written the functionality into their browser.

                              This has to be the breakthrough phone of the century!!! I also figured out how the "Floating Touch" works.
