So guys should I am buying a new cellphone, and have decided on the Xperia L. But then I saw the Xperia TX, and now I am terribly confused. I have doubts over the Xperia TX's GPU (Adreno 225), and it does cost 5k more. So ? What should I do ? L or the TX ?

I know Xperia TX has a better screen, but I went through reviews of both and both came out with not so impressive cameras. What I am really worried is the processor and GPU in the Xperia TX.

TX cause better screen,cam and Dev support

Hmm...what about the processor ? Xperia L has a better one I s'pose...

Do you know that with L you get Sony India warranty and NO warranty with TX? :)

If yes and you're ok with no warranty then TX is a much better device overall. Better screen, better camera, better CPU and almost the same GPU (Adreno 305 had tad better benchmark score)

AFAIK there is no reason why L won't get 5.0 :) What I meant was even though TX is a 2012 phone, it will still get 5.0

Eh..I think I'll go with the Xperia L, it doesn't support Nova 3 and Fifa 12, but I think I can live with that. Plus, I went through a review from Android Authority, and they said there was a noticeable lag while playing games on the Xperia TX. So yeah..Xperia L !! Should I buy the white one or the black one ? Plus, I can't find any screen guards specifically for the Xperia L, which other cellphones' dimensions would it match ?

White is great I have it, and as per the screen guard they will put Xperia J's

Thanks man. Guess I will also buy a screen guard available for Xperia J. Btw..is Matte or Gloss better ? In terms of Screen Guards.

Thanks guys for the amazing feedback. Last query, what's the best camera phone around Rs. 15,000 ?

Why do you think that the Xperia L won't support Fifa 12?

It has an Adreno 305!

I went through the gaming review of the Xperia L on iGyaan, they said it doesn't support Fifa '12 dude.

How much did you pay for the guard ?

I found one on eBay for around Rs. 300, but I don't understand if I should get a matte finish one or a glossy one ? I mean, which is better ?

I am not sure, but it might void your warranty, so be careful.
