Both phones use snapdragon. My cheaper phone is "Qualcom" which I've heard of before. The world is turning Japanese....and the consumer world Chinese. i can be wrong on any specific product or product category but I've concluded that absent fraudulent ripoffs, the Brand doesn't make much...

I have filled out my order form at NewEgg and came back to this site JUST BEFORE purchasing. found Kings post, checked that phone, came back and two more!! You guys are awesome. Just going with the Xperia XA==the https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875706005&ignorebbr=1...

King: if I knew what I wanted: I would get it. As stated: this is more about "emotions." I don't want to spend more money than I need to just because I can. I want a phone, new or used, to use for 3D and 360 Degree movies. Assuming that latency is not an issue at the price ranges...

Lots of Good info here----thanks. 1. Chug. Yes...I do recall a "tampered product" from Craigs list a few years ago. Amazes me how little money people will cheat you for. My funds are "as I wish".... but I wish to spend it like you do: on my computer. Even if I were rich, making cash wise...

For the same amount of $$ I can buy a better used phone or a lesser new phone. Assuming seller says it "works good" and there is no visible damage...2 QUESTIONS: 1. simple or basic thing to "check" to see if the phone is working? ie: I know I can't check everything out when sitting in the...
