its xperia play stock android?

[honex97]

ok so i am ready for an upgrade and im eather gonna get the xperia play or the thunderbolt i have no 4g in my area and there as of now are no plans for it so my deciding factor is does the xperia play have stock android or does it have some kinda sony overlay? some videos look like its stock and some some look stock

It is stock android with a few verizon apps (no overlay). I have owned it for a couple of days now and highly recommend it. All the comments about this phone being outdated and slow are a joke. This thing is fast with a very solid build. Go get it if you are a gamer!

Yes, it's vanilla Gingerbread 2.3.2 OS. No SE MediaScape or TimeScape like other Xperia models have.

And it runs really fast!

i'd like to reiterate that it is quite snappy, i previously had a fascinate with the community ROM 1.3 and this phone, stock, is faster and has a better battery, plus the gamepad is very solid

I've had this phone for two days now and highly recommend it. FPSeCE runs Metal Gear Solid at an average of 45 fps and the controller feels great. The UI is very snappy even with all of the high quality effects turned on in Launcher Pro.

thanks a lot everyone ive owned the og droid and the incredible and dont get me wrong htc sense was great i loved it but theres was nothing like stock android that was on my og droid. another question ive noticed in videos when you slide out the button pad a game window i guess it is opens up, can you go to the home screen while its slid out? im asking cause if i were to download like a nes rom would i be able to play mario with the controller buttons?

Yeah, you can just use the home button to go back to the home screen. I usually just open up my emulator and the open up the controller.

You can disable the Xperia app launching when you slide the controller out. I did that and it's a lot better.

I am also coming from the fascinate with community ROM 1.3 and was not expecting this phone to be noticeably faster with stock but it is. Like you said, the battery life is better too.

I have the Droid X but I bought my son the Xperia Play today. I have to say I am very impressed with this phone. It is smoother and snappier than my X running Gingerbread.
