[mithun_mrg]

Xperia L over L9 reasons
1.newer SOC
2.Camera
3.NFC
4.will probably get 4.2 update
5.more internal memory

 

[theserpent]

Ya that's true, Hope X.L receive some price slash which is very likely, X.Z price reduced by 3-4k within a month

About the flash thing, no flash support on phones running Android 4.0.4 and higher buddy. :/

and Xperia L is a better choice, wait till 15th, there're rumors two new Xperias might release.

L9 Disadvantages
1.Lesser ROM Support
2.Very Tough to Root(Way out of my understanding)
3.No NFC
4.Low internal Storage
5.No Service center in mangalore I think+No retail shop has it

 

[mastercool8695]

[pratyush997]

About the flash thing, no OFFICIAL flash support on phones running Android 4.0.4 and higher buddy. :/

Corrected
I don't think downloading and installing an app is deal breaker :/
Is it?

 

[rajan1311]

lumia 720, good phone, but limited app support..using it for a week, love it

 

[ZTR]

L9 has a advantage in screen res over L which matters to some...

 

[ZTR]

L9 Disadvantages
1.Lesser ROM Support

It has official cm support, what else do you want?

L hasn't even been rooted yet

 

[coderunknown]

It has official cm support, what else do you want?

flashing a rom without rooting the mobile? but i think all next gen mobile will have the easy to use root vulnerabilities sorted out so either use whatever rooting method is available or forget custom rom.

 

[theserpent]

It has official cm support, what else do you want?

L hasn't even been rooted yet

Yea, but looking at the good hardware and sony's past I am sure it will get good XDA support and will be easier to ROOT



Um Yeah it does,please do one thing, go to xda, search for LG l9 and check out the rooting method, which for me is very confusing and tough

AFAIK LG Phones are know as tough to root phone
