Can anyone confirm or reject that Xperia U, although having a good spec sheet, performs badly in games?

Has anybody tried MEGA JUMP on his Xperia U?

Run it, and share whether it runs smooth or lags...

Errm, the U is a ENTRY LEVEL phone. What did you expect from it? It's good enough for most stuff, but it's clearly not going to be a graphical powerhouse for a £150 phone.

If you want that, you pay more...

but the chipset, GPU and the resolution (which comes to count in the amount of pixels to be rendered) are the same as Xeria P, isn't it? set aside RAM amoun, which I actually managed to get over 220MB Free RAM when system starts, thanks to root and removing bloatwares, they should ne the same, should'n?!!

Should put in the title which phone it's about ....

But looking up the spec sheet the P and U are the same but feature a single core mali 400, no mention of a clockspeed comparison but the galaxy s2 featured a quadcore mali 400 and its graphics were only average when compared to adreno 200 series and powervr 540.

sony could also be partly to blame as the adreno 220 in the xperia s under performs its spec sheet as well.

Yep that's the story of a lot of their phones... Underperforming from what you'd expect considering the spec sheet.

It runs good as long as you don't collect any coins :D :D :D :D
Looks like the currency, the coins, are not compatible with NovaThor Chipset :D :D :D :D :D :D
haa haa haaa
Shame on this chipset, it's good for nothing, just for Sony's staffs!
:))))))))))))))

qua processor and gpu it is the same, but: the ram is only 512mb and the P has 1024
that is a huge difference with gaming
RAM is not so much important,because phone with 1gb ram does not kill app in ram and thats slowing them down,
Any way performance is same.

it IS a huge difference, but not when you are running GB and you have MORE THAN 240MB free RAM..!!
When you just start your phone, and no other app is running yet, and you have 240MB Free RAM, then you cannot say that P has more RAM than U, because you have sufficient and enough RAM at that time to run a Mid-Range game like Mega Jump...

F... NovaThor chipset, I had Xperia Neo before, it easily outperformed this goddamn phone, although havin single core cpu...

we should also compare the system reserved ram ...


i have 773MB of my 1024MB as Total Ram in Android. so there are 251MB for System (Memory for i.e Camera and 3D Graphics)!!

i dont think that U takes 251MB from 512MB for 3D Graphics.....

Tests conducted by gsmarena says otherwise ;)

I've said this once, I'll say it again, on the Linux kernel, free RAM is wasted RAM.
I have an Xperia Play (phone designed for gaming) qcom msm7x30 w/ adreno205 that has the same amount of RAM as the U, and quite frankly, the Mali400 in the U rips the adreno205 to pieces.

i dont have a problem! i have a P ...

what i want to say is that U maybe doesnt have so much RAM reserved for Mali400 like P does.

The adreno is the Xperia S is one of the best optimized. It outperforms all the other adreno 220 phones. I have no idea what you are talking about. Look at the S compared to the Sensation in benchmarks and the Sensation gets worked.
