Xperia X or OPO?

odo

Hello all together! I realized these days that the Xperia X now belongs to the devices with the highest UT development level - on 4th place directly behind the OPO. I have an OPO, but the camera issues are rather annoying for me. I think of switching to the Xperia. The Sony is a bit newer. So, does it perform better? This is my first question.
Another point is the fm radio the Sony has inside. UT does not support this feature so far. But there are AOSP phones with working fm radio. Is it possible to use the radio with the help of anbox and android radio app? Is there anybody who tried this?

@odo Xperia X also has some issues with the camera although they've been mostly fixed recently. At the moment, main issues are the lack of zoom and camera stops to work once you used flashlight from the indicator at least once. A reboot is needed to fix it. I never had an OPO so I can't compare the performance but Xperia X works great overall.
As for FM radio, this has never worked on UT. I think the challenge here is that they are implemented per OEM and of course, they are proprietary.

They are being worked on as we speak. Give it a bit of time and you might be pleasantly surprised by the upcoming Halium update.

Thanks very much. Yes, good news for OPO users. Maybe I keep the OPO. Best thing would be a side by side comparison.

I can only talk about the Xperia X and have no experiences with the OPO. The camera issue is as kugiigi described. And for listening to the radio i created a webapp with Webber.

Overall I'm really happy with how good everything works on the Sony, especially compared to problems people run into. Personally, my biggest issue is in Bluetooth connectivity.

An important thing for me is the tagger app. It now works with the OPO. Does it also work with the Xperia X?
