Actual battery mAh may vary and its not only in Sony, it applies to every company. Sony said that users will get atleast 1460mAh, there is chance to get 1460 to 1500mAh. Sony did not meant that it can't be more than 1460mAh.
And Sony first tests in laboratory condition and then publishes the result in white paper, samsung or other brands dsn't prepare white paper, they simply keep a basic data in official websites, so u don't get the minimum info. And that dsn't indicate that their battery can't vary. Battery backup always varies depending upon
1. the way u use it(i.e. if u r a gamer then definitely it will consume more power, etc.)
2. network strength
3. processor(the more higher the processor is, the more power it will consume to operate)
4. OS optimization
(preloaded OS version is more stable, if u upgrade it will consume more power)
5. region
6. temperature etc.
And Samsung galaxy pocket users are saying that the sound quality is also poor, bothering when video streaming.
Plz note that I am not going to say that Samsung is bad, just pointing out the disadvantages as u r comparing more potentially. And samsung always have low quality hardware. Ericssion took alliance with Sony for strong hardware.

AnonD-64192, 30 Jul 2012for your kind information xperia u, sola, s etc runs android 2.x.x with around 1300mah battery... moreAnd for ur kind info i already know that they run on gb.but the thing that is really for ur kind info is that there's isn't going to be much strain on battery even if u upgrade ur device from gb to ICS.Use ur brains.can the update really affect talktime of about 2 hrs and even more standby time?i haven't heard any complaints from anybody that ics drains their battery that much significatly compared to gb infact google itself mentioned during it's unveiling that it's not going to degrade ur backup if not improve it.
And pls don't just start that cheap plastic debate that u just read from some other thread.all android manufacturers use cheap plastic except htc(in it's upper midrange n highend devices).i was in no way saying samsung have better midrange phones at respective price that u felt so offended when i talked about the not so gud battery backups of xperias which is a fact.ur argument that more feature richness causes it to have poorer backup,can u pls tell me which r those features ?
And pls can u tell me how does miro not have timescape since u consider urself to be such an expert.

and its true that miro will have talktime of 5hrs/6hrs on 2G/3G respectively...u just gave said that miro has smaller screen, low resolution and 0.8Ghz processor (underclocked) but u didnt noticed that its having preloaded ICS which needs more power that GB,but again these figures (talktime & stand-by) may varry depending on your network strength, way of using thet phone and region also

AnonD-56684, 30 Jul 2012Infact on an average the galaxies have been found to have a better battery backup than xperias... morefor your kind information xperia u, sola, s etc runs android 2.x.x with around 1300mah battery which delivers talktime(aprox 7hours) or stand-by-time slightly more than miro, where as miro has 1500mah battery which has preloaded android 4.0.4 and delivers 6hrs (3G) talktime.
But if u upgrade other xperia phones which are mentioned above to android. their talktime or stand-by-time will decrease......
lastely as u compared samsung galxies talktime to sony's than u should know that samsung can't compete sony's quality (mainly on hardware)so its obvious that samsung will give slightly more battery backup than sony,but not the quality..!!!
samsung uses very cheap plastic material for their phones, u should notice that!

It has mentioned 10hrs for Xperia X10, which is definitely not true by any means. So wait till full review.
My guess is miro will have better battery backup than what is mentioned here. reasons being the same(bigger battery, low res screen, efficient and underclocked processor)

Another thing was that u n some other guy mentioned that miro doesn't have timescape UI.Why won't it have?"Timescape" is sony's propietry custom skin(UI) which it puts over all it's android device just like "sense" for htc n "touchwiz" for samsung.

Of apps available for their os,thats y we all found nokia disgusting. But still old age people like nokia only as its proprietry os is userfriendly.
And about pricing of miro, it wil b 130-150 british pounds i.e. 11000-13100 INR.
My all the privious comments were based on the price tag 11-13K dats y miro lacks some features,bt according to u if it will cost 10K then it wil be a gr8 phone.

Nokia sucks money a lot n doesn't make android phones.
Samsung always lacks atleast one important feature in their every mobile and make u confuse what to buy. Their battery backup is also poor.
Sony is the only brand which releases mobiles with latest OS, even the entry-level phones too and they give updates to most of their mobiles. Sony's hardware is well known, they are famous for Camera and other electronic products. And Sony releases mobiles with almost all necessery features(unlike samsung) and on affordable price.
Miro should not cross 12k INR, probably upto 10k INR.

and the price of miro will be 10.8K to 13.6K, not more than xperia U as it cost around 17.5K

well, earlier i was in love with nokia and htc only but when i noticed sony is making phones with the same specifications and also the price range was very affordable, then gradually i started taking interest in sony. and today em loving it :) lolzz
and its true that only sony (a global reputated brand) is providing smartphones with latest hardware, software and technologies with an affordable price, while samsung and htc have very high price for the same smartphone.
miro dont have large display, HD video recording, timescape UI, bravia engine, etc but its worth for 13K (or less)

Its display is led backlit lcd, so there'll be bravia engine. 720p video recording would be great. It has timescape with twitter integration.
ST26i suggests that the price will be greater than Xperia u (ST25i), incase i suggest you to go for U and not J. Store mostly used files in phone memory and for other files you can use USB OTG in Xperia U.
