Would you pick the Sony U or HTC Desire C for games and apps?

The Sony U would be the better phone of the two.

For apps/games:

Most or all of the apps on Google Play support android 2.3 so that means you can download the majority of apps on android. Also, you would be able to run those apps/games without any problems since it has a 70% faster processor and twice as many cores.

For movies:

It was stated below that the HTC Desire C has a better PPI and resolution. That, in fact, is the other way around. The Sony U has a better PPI of 279 PPI compared to the Desire's 164 PPI. It also has a higher resolution screen with 854 x 480 compared to 480 x 320. This results in a more enjoyable experience when watching movies.

Also, it is stated below that the HTC Desire C does not have expandable storage. That is also a misunderstanding because the HTC Desire C DOES have it. It's incorrectly stated on the comparison between the two phones.

Without a doubt, choose the Sony Xperia U since it is better than the HTC Desire C in performing the things you mentioned above.

the sony ericsson definitely beats the desire c in terms of its much better processor and higher screen resolution, it will play games better and also higher quality movies because of this. 

Xperia u of course for the following reasons:

1. More numbers of cores.

2. Higher resolution and ppi.

3. DLNA.

4. HD video recording.

5. Front facing camera.

PROS:

better pixel density

dual core processor

color changing belt

more processing power

CONS:

non expandable memory

If you can manage with 4 GB for movies and 2 GB for apps, then its the best phone you can have!!

well...u need quite some storage for heavy games...u doesn't have expandable memory...therefore i recommend desire c...a slow processor but games run fine with the dedicated gpu...

I hv it and it is great regarding the big screen best for games also browsing is a blast with it. its 2 gig rams and quad core 1.6 mhz makes it suitable for prrety much anything

higher ppi and better resolution
