Purchasing an Android cellphone

[insaneYLN]

screen & resolution. also Note is last gen mobile cum tablet.

Thank you once again Sam.
Am I right to presume that you infer the screen and resolution of the Sony Xperia S are superior than that of the Samsung Galaxy Note?
Or is it the other way around? Pardon my confused nature.

I have another query. Are the Android apps backward compatible? I ask such a naive question is because yesterday a cousin of mine purchased the Motorola Xoom tablet running Android 3.0 Honeycomb, and some of the apps he downloaded are not functioning.

Hence, after I purchase the cellphone of my choice and upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, will the "older" preceding apps continue to function without any glitches?

Thank you all for having immense patience with my naivety.

you are welcomed

yes. Note is quite big. it is pocketable but still considering most mobiles have a 4.5" screen, 5.3" is a bit too big.

secondly, bigger screen but resolution is almost same. whereas Xperia S having a smaller screen should offer better view. but then again Note has Super Amoled whereas Xperia S have a normal LED screen. these comparisons will never end. i'll still suggest grab Xperia S or One X. these are new gen mobiles.

most are. and i am sure he downloaded apps from outside source cause Google Play will always download the correct app. This may be caused cause of one more thing: installing a mobile app in tablet. core is same but cause tablet have different aspect ratio and resolution.

Hence, after I purchase the cellphone of my choice and upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, will the "older" preceding apps continue to function without any glitches?

YES, only if you download from Play. else i can't say. also if you buy an app/game from Play, it'll support your mobile. else it won't appear in play.

Hello Friends, an uncle from London gifted me the Samsung Galaxy Note (ceramic white colour) on Saturday.

It was an unexpected surprise which I am still asserting myself with!

I was terribly ill since Thursday and hence could not report here. Once I have recuperated from my illness I will start a personal thread of discussion for my device.
