I'm going to buy a new phone. I don't know what to go for. I'm between those two. Can You tell me all the good and bad things?
Take a look on youtube or google, but so far i know, i make the general chat for nothing i think, to ask your questions and stuff over there.

It's a vast topic and I've only had my Xperia T for a couple of days, so I can't properly quantify battery life just yet, but here goes.
Overall, I'm going to say, "no, the Xperia T isn't better than the S III." The S III is, for me, a more complete package. That's not to say that the Xperia T is bad, not by a long shot, but it doesn't feel so all-encompassing as the S III. The S III wins on points rather than a knock-out, but from the top...
The Xperia T's screen is beautiful. It's sharp and responsive and has BRAVIA. The Samsung's screen feels overly saturated, but it's also a beautiful one. I've found the S III's screen to be a little bit more responsive than the T but I prefer the Sony colours.
As far as performance and feel go, both feel fluid and responsive and both will very occasionally jerk or stutter, but the S III does it that little bit less than the Xperia T. I feel like I'm splitting hairs here. It isn't a deal breaker for me.
The S III's camera is very impressive indeed. I was a little disappointed with the Xperia T's camera; more pixels, but not set up from the factory to be so fast. With some tweaking (enable touch take) it's much better, but when working with images, the Xperia T is noticeably slower. Sure. Fewer pixels to shunt around memory and a more capable processor (depending how we measure it...), but this is where the Xperia disappoints me.
What they look like is personal preference, but at the moment there are way more cases and accessories for the S III compared with the Xperia T. The S III is much thinner, the Xperia T is more comfortable to hold than the Xperia S and as great as the S III - but this is as much down to personal preference as anything. I don't much mind for soft buttons or real buttons, both work just fine (and I adapt between them).
It feels like a moot point, but I don't like Samsung's default keyboard one bit. I use SwiftKey 3 and I use it on both devices, so nae bother the big yin as you can change it. Likewise with ICS you can disable junk you don't need, but the Xperia T comes with more stuff on there that I don't need.
For me, it comes down to speed. The Xperia T is a fast and fluid handset, but the S III feels that little bit quicker and more fluid. If you've used neither then you probably won't feel that big of a difference.
Hopefully that helps. The Xperia T plays the value card and it's a decent handset, but the key strength of the camera feels just a little bit hamstrung by the device being slower than the Samsung flagship.
Hi guys
Loved my Xperia S but returned it due to problems(screen) within 30 days from amazon. I have the galaxy s3 (New upgrade) but its going back for the Xperia T, the hardware on the s3 is great, still not sold on Amoled screen though, love the software on the Sony, Xperia T arrives on Monday hope I've made the right decision glad Sony now allow micro sd or wouldn't of bothered.
The Xperia T feels really solid compared to the S3 which feels cheap.
It's having an very unique and great look.
Sony's software is so much better than overbloated Touchwiz.
It's not having 1000 features added like Touchwiz, but i'm not using that stuff anyway.
I prefer clean software. Everything is where you would expect it.
Sony's software is mature and not childish like Touchwiz.
No annoying sounds and colors.
I'm really impressed.

Would love to hear you opinion regarding the phone snapyness and response plus battery consumption compared to the s3.
The shipped ROM looks decent and people can live with it tbh not like ****wiz.

Bought Xperia T
I bought today Xperia T. I've tried S3 for a week. It is really difficult to say wich one is better. My choice was Sony because... I like Sony.
Size, Apps - personal preferences
Speed - very close
Quality - both very good
Buttons - I like S3 main button, but I've missed camera button even more
Battery - Hard to say. I was using both phones a lot, and i don't say any bad words about any of them. But You can't use a spare battery with Sony. But I never used any spare one with any other phones.
Only one big thing for Samsung. DEVELOPERS.

Okay, I am completely sold. Getting the T. Next week. CAN'T WAIT !
Just swapped Galaxy s 3 for Xperia T a few days ago.
Pros:
1. The Software is way better on the Xperia T. Love the task manager with small apps. Xperia link with my Xperia tablet s is a god send.
2. Dedicated Camera button is a must for decent photos.
3. I prefer the colours of the Xperia Ts Screen.
4. The speaker quality is brilliant in calls and movies.
5. Headphone sound quality is richer.
6. Phone is sturdier and feels like a premium product.
7. Keyboard has better sensitivity.
8. PlayStation gaming coming soon, rumoured full wireless dual shock 3 support
9. GPS lock on is fantastic. Really quick and gets it even inside my house.
10. The Xperia T gui is just as smooth as the galaxy s3 and the speed is just as fast in loading and running apps bar some intensive games.
Cons:
1: Games run better, more smoother on the s3 (on really demanding games)
2. Development/community is better on s3
3. Looks like the s3 has jellybean first
4. No burst mode on the Xperia T camera?
5. So far battery life seems better on the s3 but that may be as im hammering the Xperia T as its new.
6. More official accessories available on the S3, where are the Xperia T official cases?!

For the cons I've highlighted above I'd say that they are obvious due to the fact the S3 has had a good few months to build this developer base and also for retailers to release accessories. Only way to do a like for like is give the phone x more months and then compare how the S3 is now to how that is in the allotted time. If you look at the S3 after a week from release date all the available ROM's/mods/accessories weren't there straight away it took time to build up. For these reasons none of these are cons for me
Oh and I'm also looking at the Xperia T as my next phone in November unless Google makes an exciting announcement on the next Nexus phone/series by then.

Unless AT&T locks the bootloader, I'm likely to get a TL - which is almost exactly identical to the T.
Only thing is I kind of want to wait for the next Nexuses... But I'm kind of thinking of using my XDA ERD perk to get the TL and then personal cash for a Nex.

I appreciate this unbiased comparison.
I want to upgrade from my Galaxy S2 soon and i am tempted by the Xperia T,
I played with an instore demo and it felt slightly slower then the S3 in store demo. It could of been because of every single timescape widget running lol.
i wanted to remove the widgets and reset the phone but i think the store would frown on that.
So it's only a little slower and may lag/stutter slightly more?
The screen - the timescape interface is so dull it doesn't do it justice. I watched a demo video showing sea life etc and it was incredible. Yet Gsmarena tested the phone and it's viewing angles and contrast ratio is below that of the iphone 4 (a 2 year old screen). that was disappointing. Now i don't know what to think
But it's so much more comfortable in the hand...i know i will drop the S3!
I personally find it quicker than my S3 in day to day use, chrome also runs a lot better.

Hi there! just a quick question but need a really detail and good answer here. I'm currently using a Xperia X8 which i bought a year ago. getting cranky now so I decided to buy a new SONY phone. I don't see any goodness in Samsung neither in Nokia due to the Windows OS so don't bother suggesting that. Just wanna know which phone should I get, Xperia SL or Xperia T? i love photography and both seem to provide almost what I need. Mind informing the pros and cons of getting both? and also I've used my friend's Xperia S for an hour and i used the XLOUD app, maxed the volume and played a song. It seems like my X8 have a better quality of sound compared to the S. fyi, its upgraded to ICS, he bought it recently, on 16th of October... the sound seems..pitchy and not really up to the "standard" i was looking forward to. So please help people cause in my hometown, SONY seems like an alien brand...
quick answer. get the T. its the more actual and more powerful device

Dual Core Snapdragon S4 Krait, extremely fast,

Hi there, first timer here. I'm hoping that XDA will be able to help with this question since I've noticed that there're are a few members who have the Xperia S (XS)and plan on switching to Xperia Z (XZ). Anyway, here goes:
Basically, I'm thinking of switching from XS to XZ.
However I've seen many complaints about how the loudspeakers and camera are subpar, or not as good as expected.
To be honest I don't care if the phone isn't that great. I'd be more than happy if it's better than my XS.
That being said, to the XS and XZ users on XDA, what do you say? I'd really appreciate some feedback on the following two points before I decide to buy.
1) Is the XZ camera better than the XS camera?
Edit: Well, actually, is it alright to say that it is a significant improvement?
2) Are the XZ loudspeakers better than those on the XS?
Or do they sound better (yes, I know this is really subjective...)?
I switched from S to Z.
So far so good
I switched from T to Z...

I'm coming from XS too.
S was (is) a great phone.
Z is superior to S.
1) Camera in certains conditions can easy outperform S.
2) Speaker sounds good when mobile left on the table etc in landscape mode watching videos etc. Its a bit better when it comes to sound quality, but can't see really difference in volume levels. With headphones it outperforms S aswell.
Screen, battery life. Everything is better. Plus, forget about lag. Nova launcher does the job more than perfect.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
I've made the switch from S to Z. Feels good so far
hi all
i was wondering if it worth upgrade to xperia z from Lg optimums 4x, or should i keep it

It heats up just like the S3 or any other dual/quad core cpu smartphone. You won't find a smartphone with a cpu like that which won't heat up - unfortunatelly.

unfortunatelly thats true, so today i went to the shop and try the xperia z and it was great the screen look perfect(i compare it to note 2) the touch and feel of the phone is super great and the phone it self look appealing, there is one thing the sound is bit lower than i expected.
i will buy it the end of the month, hope so! :fingers-crossed:

As stated here, no cooling fans etc, high cpu speed packed into small bundle, very limited to disipate the heat generated. No phone is not going to head up significantly when under load, the more Cores and GHz the more heat
Hey guys I also upgraded to Xperia z from the note 2 (went for the looks, ignoring the inside cooks)...
and I also made the dealer apply a screenguard on that phone straightaway...
But the picture quality of the phone seems to be a little bad than note 2....
I compared both the phones having same pic on both the phones but note 2 seems to have sharper images....
Do I have a problem with my phone or is it like this originally.?

I got you perfectly.
Turn off Bravia engine and see what you think, I feel it affected the sharpness, I came from an S3 and think the display on the XZ is incredibly sharp.
As for the "dull" colours, it's probably because the SuperAMOLED screens in the GN2 and the S3 were very saturated compared to the LCD in the XZ, personally though, I always used my S3 in "Standard" display mode which removed much of the saturation and I'm a lot happier with the more realistic colours of the XZ.
The camera on the other hand is a different story, and I find it difficult to get photos that come close to what I could take on my S3, too much post processing I presume on the XZ, and they don't do a very good job of it.

Take into consideration the resolution of the image you are testing. This is a full hd screen so it needs full hd images to compare or it will just stretch them causing blurred.

I see, I'm afraid I can't really contribute any further to the discussion in that case. personally I think on my device it looks much sharper than my S3 did.
Does this issue show up in a screenshot? Perhaps there is some strange graphical issue with your device.
Hello,
Does anybody here know or at least suggest me, what should I keep (I already own the iPhone 5 but I can't use it when my parents are not at home) or should I go and buy XSP (there's a discount for this device otherwise I would need to consider about S3 Mini or Xperia M) which I could use at anytime I want? Thanks to everyone who answers!
XSP is heads and shoulders better than XM or S3. And since S3 Mini is a cut-down version of S3, both in size *and* specs, IMHO there is no reason to prefer the alternatives.
You do have to remember that moving to Android means leaving the Apple ecosystem behind. You'll have to repurchase apps, and there might be some games that are not available on Android.

I know but I mean the key features like multitasking, camera, headphone that comes with the phone and so on. I know that some games on iOS aren't on Android (like Infinity Blade 2) but that doesn't matter me much, the only game I play on the phone is Clash of Clans and sometime (rlly rarely) I play Asphalt 8 (which I have purchsed for both Android and iOS, no worry for piracy) so.. I just care for the key features like the rear and the front camera. Both of the phones have 8MP camera rear camera but the exposure is different, is that a big difference between the quality? And like the screen, as I know the iPhone 5 comes with an Retina HD display and XSP with TFT HD display but with BE2/X-Reality so I don't which is better
Pretty much everything is better on the iPhone 5. It has better multitask, camera, comes with better headphones, has better hardware performances. As an XSP user, I can't think of a feature were the XSP is better than the iPhone 5, there might be some, but the iPhone is mostly better.

But as I know, Android was made for multitaking and for hardware, the XSP haves better processor and the camera is same or am I wrong?
If you want something that just works then the iPhone 5 is better.
If you want something you can play around with ROMs and have more control over the phone then the Xperia SP is better.
My preference is Xperia SP, I dont mind the iPhone as a device but its restrictions annoy me.

Android is made for multitasking, however, due to how newer apps are build, devices require more than 1GB to run smoothly. Sadly, the SP just has 1GB of RAM, which makes it slow at times. The processor is good, but the one on the iPhone 5 is the same, if not better. And no, the camera, while 8mpx, works better on the iPhone.

Ok but the iPhone still have only 1Gig RAM... Even some newer devices, even iPhone 5s didn't came with 2Gig RAM and for the headphones, both phone and headphone are using 3,5mm jack so... I can only think of the S5 and Z2(...?) to have 2Gig RAM so...

Edit1 : It would be even better, if any1 could suggest me a phone which I can play with the /system and do a normal work/sometime playing Clash Of Clans and Asphalt 8 and for music listening at the same time. I thought that the XSP can do it but it looks like it can't
Xperia SP:
+Design
+Loud speaker
+Bigger Screen
+Unique ilumination bar
+Runs a more "open" OS, Android (and outdated one)
-Camera
-Low RAM
-Materials used feels cheap at times
-Bad screen quality
Iphone 5:
+Design
+More apps
+More updates in the future (it will at least get two more mayor iOS updates)
+Premium build quality
+Better cameraS with slow-mo video (I'm not sure if it's the 5 and 5s or just the 5s)
+Better screen quality
+Better multitasking (iOS is more optimized for multitasking nowadays in my opinion, as iPhone 5 almost never lags).
-No unique feautres
-Speaker quality is okay.
+/- iOS is not as open as Android, but it's a beatiful design nevertheless.
This is what I can think of.

I can't post comparison pictures right now but there have been a lot of complaints about the XSP camera.
Some users are also experiencing some issues like blurring and extremely poor low light pictures.
If you need a good camera,dont get the XSP.
I don't think these issues are only with my device.
The phone is amazing in other aspects like hardware but if the camera is important,take a comparison from someone else has both the phones!
I'm sorry I can't put up pictures because I'm waiting at the airport
Good luck!
The camera on the SP is REALLY bad, the lenses even get scratched super easily, that's why people get blurry/overexposed pictures. If it's your priority, the more reasons to go for iPhone.

This phone can perfectly do that! Asphalt 8 runs fine with 0 lag on ultra settings and you should be able to play music when playing either of these games

And I know one thing about the i5: the WiFi sucks! My dad is always complaining about how he doesn't find any networks while I can find like 10 with my sp or that he can't connect to certain wireless network while I can

The SP had some WiFi reception problems (range) but the latest update has fixed it.
WiFi reception is perfect now!

The stock ROM is so good in this device, I would probably just stick with it. Unlike Samsung Galaxy phones which ruins the stock google experience, this one doesn't. It used to stutter and lag a lot on Lollipop, but after the Marshmallow update, 99% of the lag is gone.
i love it pretty, powerfull and slick
Obviously it's the best phone i've ever owned, coming from a nexus 4 and a moto G. Build quality, design, the beautiful screen, playstation exclusive features ( WHICH NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT FOR SOME REASON, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE AWESOME???), the camera is great if you know how to utilize it, almost stock android experience. The only downer is the camera software, algorithm and the lack of full manual controls and RAW.
I had this phone for a while before giving it to my mom and stick to my old Z1.
Camera have very fast focus speed and good WB. Just need a better image processing software.
Stock Lolipop is buggy and very late Marshmallow update compare to other brand's 2015 flagship device. However, It's worth to wait because most of bugs were fixed.
I love frosted glass at the back too, easier to keep it clean than a glossy one at Z1.

To be fair, and assuming you are talking about the remote play stuff, the reason people don't talk about this is that it's not exclusive really. Some clever people ripped it and modified the apks so they will work on pretty much any phone. Not only that, the modded version is actually better as it removes the WiFi requirement so you can use it over a good 4G connection too!
Still awesome features, just not unique.
The Z5 is great, the Marshmallow update has boosted it a lot, thats for sure.
The camera isn't that great when it's a little darker. (Black becomes purple/blueish?)
The front camera is terrible when its darker.
My overall experience is still 5/5 because the sound is great, it has a really good battery life, and it never freezes or random reboots.
Great phone!
I tried to make love to it. Now I have a sticky phone
love it, but i hope there will be other CM or AOSP ROM so the phone could do more like Nexus 6P
I love my z5, i love sony since the very beginning. (since sony ericsson)
And like it or not, sony has the most stable android version, eventhough they are very slow at updates.
Im pretty satisfied with sony.
The only bad thing is, how hard it is to root sony and do stuffs like that.
Security and these stuffs make us harder to costumize our own phone.
I know sony have their own reasons. But at least, give us the simple damn chance to root our phone without unlocking bootloader

Absolutely love it!!! Moved from Z2 and it's the best phone I ever owned. Not sure why so many people have problems as I have not experienced any so far
Sounds like a defective unit, return it immediately.
Clearly I got a dud give the high ratings of this topic. The audio using Sony 5-pin headphones is ok but not great if you're after true HiFi clarity and audio detail. But trying to use third party standard pin headphones or line connections is a complete joke due to the phone not recognising the connection about 75% of the time and just spitting out hideous humming and buzzing noises. This was present from the word go and no method of cleaning inputs has helped. And the fingerprint sensor only works half the time with no rhyme or reason as to why it won't recognise the print. I have two Samsung devices and both have absolutely no issues whatsover.
So if this my lover, they'd be out the door with their bags trying to find a new home.
The best smartphone I've ever had.
Every Sony I get is just better every time.

It is one of the most beautiful devices currently! There are times when I'm looking at and admiring the device!
Pretty dissapointed with this device after having it for less than 4 months and moving from LG G2 and HTC M8.
Problems:
- landscape/portrait orientation switching stops working after some time, reboot of the unit gets it back alive, temporarily (happens after Marshmellow update)
- Yelow ghostly spots have started showing up on the upper left edge of the screen, most likely due to overheating (I'm using phone a lot )
- Finally, few days ago when I rinsed my unit in clean, tap water, some of it entered the unit and made it's place under the screen, making upper left corner of the screen (water entered from headphone jack?) glowing like it has brighter spill...
All in all, I wille try to return this expensive piece of faulty electronics, but I guess they will not accept to give me some other device...
Sony was my first Android device, but now I'm confident that it's the last one as well...
+ love the stock rom look
+ Super Video recording image stabilization
- Awful lag before starting video recording
+ Great photos in good light
- not so amazing purple & bluish tint in low light
+ Great sound
- Cheap headphones included
- I miss glossy glass back
Overall not so much impressed, but still a great phone.
