S Advance @ 14500 or LG L9 @ 16500

Z

Hi Guyz,
Im planning to buy an android mobile
My choices are
Galaxy S advance
LG L9

Which one should I buy? I like the big screen of L9 but it has got some cons
1. Camera is not so good
2. Apps cannot be moved to SD card
3. No gorilla glass

on the other hand S advance comes with Gorilla glass, 16g memory and super amoled screen
the only thing bothering is its 4" screen

please suggest me.

Between these two, I would say L9.

+1 for L9...

When you are buying a smartphone you have to consider future of that phone also. Technology is changing
everyday.
So my suggestion is to go for lg or any model of xperia which is within your budget.

Thank you guyz for your suggestions.
Could you guyz please tell me how is the camera and sound quality of L9, and is it possible to move apps to SD without routing the phone?

^^ Wait for Xperia L. Best buy IMO. But if you want to buy immediately, L9 is good choice. L9 camera is decent and sound quality is good. The bundled headset will not deliver good sound. So buy any good IEM like Soundmagic, JBL etc.

see, better go to the shop.. put both devices in your hand.. click images . go through the features.. check ergonomics for both devices and make ur decision (if u have narrowed down to these two devices. )

LG L9 beats S Advance in all dept IMO.

17-18k max.

That sounds a good deal, but for that I have to wait for 2 more months I guess

By end of March or April mid, it will be announced. Go check this thread : *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/technology-news/171642-sony-announces-xperia-l-sp-mid-range-droids.html

I think Xperia L will be priced around 20k at launch.. remember when Xperia Sola launched and it was priced at 19k

All sites mentioned MRP as 18.5k, so street price would be 17k.

back then (i mean last year

) no dualcore mobile was available under 20k. Sony was first to dualcore in sub 20k & then sub 15k (Xperia U)

Is it worth paying 20k for XL(and need to wait for a month or so) or Should I go with LG L9?

Price will be around 18k and it is totally worth it.

But the display is larger on L9. 4.7 v 4.3

if you think its a huge difference(which practically is not much), then get L9. quite simple, aint it?

Yes,If You Want To Compare The Sizes Then Go To : Compare Mobile Phones Side by Side

4.3 is still fine.. it fits for a smartphone really well..
Those 4.7-5 inchers are really big to use with single hand

Thanks man, nice find.

- L9 camera not as good as S advance.
- L9 has less internal memorey(4GB) than S advance(16GB)
- Apps can't be moved to SD card in L9
- L9 doesn't come with Gorilla glass, S Advance does
- No super AMOLED in L9

In spite of all these cons, do u guyz really think L9 is better than S advance?
I just want to know in what way L9 is better tha S advance.. :-?

SGAdvance Has A Super Amoled Display But Based On Pentile Matrix Technology,So Its Not Good And Moreover L9 Has A Bigger,qHD IPS Display.(L9-1;Advance-0)
Secondly It Has A Novathor Chipset,Which Provides Less Raw Power Than TI-Omap SOC Used In L9.(L9-2;Advance-0)
L9 Has 1GB Ram(Approx.800MB Usable) Advance Has 768MB Ram(Approx.568MB Usable) (L9-3;Advance-0)
L9 Has A Longer Battery Life(2150mAh) vs Advance(1500mAh) (L9-4;Advance-0)
L9 Has Good Looks And A Nice UI vs Boring Look Of Advance. (L9-5;Advance-0)
L9 Has 5MP Camera(1080p) Advance Has 5MP Camera(1080p) But As You Said,Advance Has A Good Camera.(L9-5;Advance-1)
L9 Has Less Internal Memory And A Expandable Micro SD Slot But Advance Has 16 GB IM With SD Slot. (L9-5;Advance-2) [But You Can Move Apps To SD AFTER Root]

L9 Is A Clear Winner.
Hope It Helps.

+1. L9 comes with newer chipset IIRC.

where??

Hi,
Can you guys please suggest a
1. flip cover
2. Screen Guard
3. Earphones (not IEM )

for S advance.

Just asking here instead of creating a new thread.

Online links are appreciable.

Regards,
Atul Sharma

visit fommy.in for case and screen guard. Try ebay.in too. For earphones, i suggest SoundMagic/Senheiser.

Had been to a shop this weekend to test L9.
Everything was fine except camera, its a big disappointment for me.
even a galaxy ace can capture better pics and video than L9.
A big letdown for me.
