The right Xperia for me?

[mamoltub]

Hi,

I have spent a week studying the descriptions of all the available Xperia phones, and I have a hard time understanding which one will be the best one for me... Is anyone willing to help?

In the past I have had Xperia X10i and Xperia S. Considering SP, ZR, L, V, M... possibly others?

* Huge phone not needed - maximum 4,3 or perhaps 4,6 inches

* Waterproof, dust proof etc not needed

* Nice camera required. I never carry a normal camera any longer - still, I don't need 8+ megapixels, image quality is more important - but video is not important. (Xperia S photos seemed poorer than I wish for)

* Heavy user - good battery life needed. (With Xperia S, I often had to restrict my use, for the phone to survive the day.)

* Good CPU/memory needed - I sometimes run GPS tracking, music, social media simultaneously, I don't want any of my apps to shut down due to low capacity.

* I wish to have the latest Android versions without rooting my phone - will prefer a device that Sony will keep updating longer.

* Design is important (but personal)... I prefer a white model, clean design, hate Samsung rounded corners and plastic feel (sorry)...

Will be very thankful for any recommendations!

You should consider the Xperia Z or Z1, you won't see much difference between the Xperia T and Z's screen size, plus the virtual keys take a piece of the screen and you will end up with about 4.7in screen. 

As far as the camera the Z1 its the best Xperia camera, you might like the shape of the Z1 as it has round edges/corners but it looks elegant not like a bar of soap

Thanks for your quick reply!

I tried the Xperia Z at the store, and it is really too big for female hands... I prefer operating the phone with one hand, and I can only reach half of the screen! Xperia S is near the limit of my reach.

I have a tablet for videos, advanced typing/browsing, etc - I prefer a phone that can fit in my hand and in my pocket.

There's a rumor that there will be an Xperia Z1 Mini, with a 4.3in screen
