mini pro screen size same with x8 and have higher resolution .

not true . snapdragon s3 1.5Ghz + adreno 220 > TIOMAP 4430 1.2Ghz + SGX 540

however , you canot really feel the difference as they both are good enough .

u are probably having a ap charger .

Ori charger are seperated with usb cable now and hard to spoil .

Try to find 2nd hand sensation .

The best cam of Rm1300 is drop to Arc S . Cant find better there .

I use Arc S for 1 month cover with tpu no sign of crack .

mini beat w8 in all way .

the 600mhz on w8 is armv6 which is really outdated .

The 1ghz on mini is cortex A8 which can decode 720p video .

And mini will have ICS .

Further more 300mb internal vs 120mb and 200 ram vs 512 ram

Xperia play 4 inch screen with dual speaker and game pad

below Rm900 for ap set

PSP game on store soon as promise from sony ( actually already some titles on playstation suit )

Play is decent .
keep the internal memory above 100mb then it will be lag free .

It have best speaker among the phone is used ( even better than my laptop ).

But if you don wan to use game pad frequently then better get pro / arc which have hdmi port and better cam .

quite old spec .

Struggle to play even 720p video in soft decoding mode .

In term of processing power these 3 doesnt have big gap .

Note is nice for the S pen and bigger screen .

Galaxy nexus have vanila android 4.0 .

Xperia S have HDMI output with USB OTG for keyboard mouse and gamepad .


They have their own advantage but all of them is on top of android piramid for now and probably enough power for you to use for few year without outdated .

Choosing any of them is fine . You can looks at demo unit and decide yourself which one you like .

Added on March 22, 2012, 5:39 pmtoo bad the requirement of "ICS update" doesnt leave you much of choice .

I can only think optimus 2x and Arc S in that price range that will get ICS update officialy .

HTC will update all their 2011 lineup but as you don wan HTC i wont recommend you one .

Added on March 22, 2012, 5:45 pmThe one x and xperia s will have bigger chance to get more update as its 2012 lineup .

The sg2 will probably abbandon by samsung like sgs soon as it is 2011 lineup . Still its all depend on the manufacturer .

For plain android , its posible but again it depend on comunity need and developer .

From the pass experience on XDA , usually the comunity doesnt like vanila android that much and developer always giving MIUI and HTC sence UI .

Lets make it easy. The more expensive and newer phone will have larger chance to get update. Even ics is not out for most of the phone. Don think so much about next update. There will be 4.1 4.2 4.3 first beforw that

don worry , if you don play HD game often then even single core is enough for you .

Both are fine if you don have the must for android 4.0 .

Sensation XE will last 2 year .

Or if can wait then wait for mid range phone .

Currently xperia P seem like promising and price should be lower tha RM1500 when launch .

Actually XE is equal with s2 . But now s2 don have non G set so XE is better .

It even come with beats earphone . The only draw back is their service center is located at selangor only .

And samsung have alot service center across states same like sony .

Z710e Sensation [ 8.0MP | 4.3' | D1.2GHZ ] - RM 1490 ORI（ FOC.8GBMC ）
Z715e Sensation XE [ 8.0MP | 4.3' | D1.5GHZ ] - RM 1660 ORI Black & White
** Sensation XE FOC( 8GB & Beats Headset

if really tight budget can get sensation without XE . Provide similiar performance with 1.2ghz vs 1.5ghz processor .

Galaxy S2 I9100G 16GB ORI [ 8.0MP | VD-Call | D1.2GHZ ] - RM 1820 Black & White

galaxy s2 is out of ur budget also .

xperia S ap set certaintly will drop due to the accesories of ori set is quite nice , they have to lower the price to be able to compete with ori set .

can consider xperia pro also .

Same spec with neo V but with better cam and qwerty keyboard

ray is also good price on spec below RM900 ori Free livesound earphone !

hmmm ipad 2 should be ok

Or any android pad with dual core cortex A9 1ghz

Like i say , mostly dual core android tab will be able to play 720p mkv .

But it all depend on how much bit rate of it . ( all 1.5 hour mkv with 2GB below file size should play flawlessly on dual core tablet )

MKV is just a packaging file . The content inside can be anything .

galaxy tab / sony S tab / even eee pad transformer ( not the prime ) will do the job .

eee pad transformer / prime is a nice choice if you wan to movie alot .

The usb port and micro sd extended memory is priceless .

Try not to buy china brand or cheap tablet because the screen quality wont be ideal for movie .

xperia mini

Note will get better suport on update because it is newer .
However , samsung seem like only give update for 1 year .
So you might need to cautious that they will stop giving update after 2012 lineup come out .
