I left around a month ago to a nexus 5. It was just getting too old. I still love the play community and always will. So many great devs supported this device, and they did the impossible.

Yeah I've also bought a Nexus 5 but i won't sell my Xperia Play because it's such a unique phone. It's running JB 4.1 atm and is my alarm clock

. I try to not leave the Xperia Play community completely and I hope that we'll get some progress with the 3.4 kernel soon.

I have gone through 3-4 phones and still have my play. So no reason to sell it just because I bought another phone.

i bought my xperia play about 2 years ago (for my good grades in school and ... )
for about a year the phone was with locked bootlader (i didn't know what bootloader or even root is

)
the first time i tried to root the device with ginger break and i get angry because it was not working. i was scared too (i wanted to install ics rom on my play )
after too many google searches i finally rooted my device and installed darkforest rom on it(yes, without unlocking bootlader and flashing any kenrel )
for two days i had a break phone and i thought that i losed my phone but i finally found out how to fix it
and ...
this was a little story of my xperia play

i was the best student in school so my father decided buying me another phone (my last one was htc p3400 )
i bought xperia play instead of galaxy s2 now im very sad becase s2 has a 3.12 kernel

Got a Nexus 5 and sold my XP, If the 3.x Kernel was stable and working for the XP then I wouldent have left,

ozzmanj1 · Jan 21, 2014

Moved onto a Nexus 5. Still have my play. I don't have the heart to sell it. But between my N5 and Moga Hero. I find myself using my play less and less. Then again my nephew is using it for a month in London.

I have moved on to Xiaomi Hongmi 3g (beware of fake hongmi's for sale the shop i linked sells genuine Xiaomi phones) It has native miui v5 and decent specs for ~150 euro it's a nice phone, I still have my play but touch screen is getting worse and volume buttons fell off. I will miss using my play on a daily basis was a great phone not having a 2.6+ kernal really held it back, hope a 3.4 kernal comes for it soon.

You Know it shocks my Damn Mind. That Companies don't want to get more rich.. An Xperia play 2 with real analog sticks, or any companies device for that matter would sell Hugely. The Nvidia shield is the only device, but its not a phone, nor is it usable like a regular tablet.
A new Xperia play cant steal sales from The ps vita, the ps vita is a standalone device with Unreal Graphics and Remot play options with Ps3/4.

Just wish some company would make a New one. A Nexus 5 with a Ps vita style body with Real Accurate Analog sticks would be a dream...

Megalobits · Feb 1, 2014

I'll move onto a Moto X very soon but I will keep my XP as a 2nd device (casual gaming) and waiting if nickholtus have the magic to get a fully functional 3.4 kernel (hopefully because this phone and his community deserve it) :fingers-crossed:

All hail the xperia play!

ReiverBlade · Feb 7, 2014

and what about the opposite : i had a S3 but needing money and having only a UMI X1 (which even by being dual core is on the level of a Play) i brought a cheap Xperia Play used (but still in awesome shape) ... oh well i have seen some PPSSPP vids and i think it might just suits my need till im back into "high ends"

so this is not good bye ... but a warm welcome...

ok im off topic

sorrrrryyy

sanderpunto · Feb 8, 2014
