quite wierd may be graphic typo but on the SONY mobile site , if you go to the updates section the white XZ has the cable setting at the right bottom seeing it closely its the normal XZ but looks like the screen is 180degree tilt
Yes it's the screen orientation which is different, rotated 180 (upside down)

Just looks like a XZ hooked on an MHL adapter.
there's is less wasted space on the bottom of the phone (less bezel?)
Their photoshopper must have messed up the orientation and the margins I think.

For those of you who have bought a Sony Xperia T or TL what is the best feature of the phone? What makes it stand out over other phones? I'm currently considering switching from my iPhone 4S to an Android for more storage and the TL looks like an inexpensive option for a mid to high end replacement. I've heard the Walkman app is good and so is the album app but for those of you who use it as a daily driver what stands out to you?
Thread moved. Please post in the correct section of the forum. Questions belong here in Q&A.
Thanks

My bad...but now that it's in the right section maybe I'll get some answers.
I just wonder T and Tx what is difference?
I am in usa if I buy tx it is working on tmobile 3g?

+1.
Also, a phone that just works and a OEM who actually seems to have an idea what customers want. You want root so unlock the bootloader officially, you want your WiFi to turn off automatically when away from home so you don't chug the juice, you want an excellent camera, good DLNA functionality, Walkman music player, etc? Xperia T ticks the boxes.
I've been a huge fan of Samsung phones for a while but hated the camera performance so made the jump from my Note to the Xperia T. Best decision I ever made!
Also, the Note forum was really whiny and full of challenge and angst. The Xperia guys to date seem really helpful and much more friendly.
If I helped, hit Thanks!

It's market dependant, if you're in the US I think it's the TX there. Here in europe they sell the T, TX is unavailable.
Just ask your seller before but it should be ok.

Also battery drain is very low compared to Xperia S, I can use it for 1 day + with a charge, with the XS I need to charge it twice a day with moderate use !
Hello developers, hackers, users, lovers and fanatics,
I hope you're all enjoying your Z as much as I am.
I had a deep technical question about the technology used in the Xperia Z.
As you all might have noticed, the Z's screen is not made out of very tiny pixels, instead, I think, Sony used a new technology in arranging pixels on the magnificent screen.
So I'd be delighted if someone can explain to us what is going on? Is it really and advanced technology? Does it make a difference?
Thanks!
If they did that, it would be considered "PenTile". Because people are so "If it's not RGB Stripe its not okay"

Any such screen, whatever it is made from, has pixels (picture elements) just because you can't see them doesn't mean that they're not there.

I made this post to let everyone share his impression about the long waited android 4.3 To our beloved phones T/TX/V
share your thoughts =)
and Gratz lets w8 for our last hope the Kitkat =D
Update
after flashing the usa FTF i just used my mobile for 10mins and seriously i got a new mobile now! nicely done by Sony
Smooth and Graphic is eye blessing just gotta w8 till get rooted and get the smaller navigation bar cuz this one is kinda too big
i love the call animation too It`s a new phone now =) Gratz to everyone
Tx Owner
First we won't get kitkat and in March our 18 months are over and Sony has yet made it to get itself out of having to give us kitkat...
Now 4.3. I don't know I expected more. SP got the gloves mode for example and I don't know whether it is just the Vodafone version why aren't we getting an update center?
The cam looks good but lacks of functionality, for example the tap to focus and make picture is gone and the auto mode being chosen every time I open the app is not really optimal.
The lockscreen is a bit rudimentary but we all knew that before yes we got widgets but honestly what do they offer if I have to watch out not opening Walkman or when swiping left and right. Better optional app buttons and to have them on the lower screen half.
Then the Docomo status bar better than what we had before but definitely many steps behind other uis in that case.
Worst for me is that the buttons for navigation are almost third of the screen... Would it kill Sony to make that customizable?
My main parts I'm not yet updating and waiting for the modders to do their best
My Impression
It snappy ,looks nice ram usages is poor I don't know about battery life yet , sound quality seems to be enhanced :louder ,deeper bass, higher treble all round improvement P.S. for those who don't know first start up will be a tad laggy
Rep
It feels much faster than 4.1.2. I love the lockscreen and the design

I took the share your thoughts part as invitation to share my thoughts on both subjects mentioned.
And I advise you to just let people have their opinion and if I needed to release my frustration over that subject respect that too. Otherwise get out of the internet as you'll get offended every second website you visit.

Maybe no update centre is a hint that we will not get updated to kit kat?
Stamina mode and camera
- Stamina mode looks like its 2 versions back. It lacks of customization which is in SP and Z series. Besides the (inaccurate) timer there is nothing new. That mode was previously in 4.1.2 just now it looks better.
- Camera - first impression is that it makes better pictures in low light conditions but I cant find settings in menu for resolution and quality - itll be nice if someone tell me where it is.

I passionately hate the current Xperia lock screen. While I like using other lockscreens, sometimes the default lock screen over-rides it anyway, I think when memory is low. I know I can use a pin, pattern, etc, but I want to be able to look at my phone for a very few short seconds without all the fiddling. Worst Xperia lock screen yet. Even the X10 lock screen was better.

It doesn't?? Now that surprises me, considering the new walkman app is included in the feature list, and the new walkman app (at least for the SP) does have built in music unlimited :-/

to me it seems a bit laggy compared to the .278 leaked version
i see a few bugs
First of all, what happened to the stock browser. is it android policy to pass to chrome in 4.3? I dont know about you, bt i dont feel any butter maybe the firmware still needs to get the hang of the device, vut for the moment it feels a bit laggy. Most important: What the hell happened to the volume bar?! i press the volume keys and ony a small grey rectengle appears, no indicator of volume level, i can hear the beeps increassing volume but i dont see it, and if you are in an app like RR3 it doesnt work! anybody had the same problem?

Hey, long time xperia user here from Z -> z1 -> z2 -> Z3
Right now using my Z3 with out any issues but kind of broke atm. Get a best deal to sell my Z3 & the Z3 compact is considerably cheap in my part of the world.
So, would you guys recommend me to switch to Z3 compact or go to other brand which offers rich features like this. What are the drawbacks in the compact design? performance wise will the z3 compact match with Z2?
Thank you.
Z3 is nice, but mine had some serious GPS issues. Everything else was perfect.

Thank you, any heating issues?
I just traded in my Z3 for a Z3 compact as I wanted a smaller phone for one handed use. No regrets whatsoever in terms of battery life, performance etc.

Absolutely the z3+ is just a big heavy oversized heater. The camera is not even that good it's not worth the money at all.

Yes. No overheating, a true killer battery, great size and a pretty decent camera if you know how to use manual mode.
Thank you for the response guys. I just checked the stores and i was confused with the colors. I feel like the black color makes the mobile feel a cheap one.

The right color doesn't exist... it depends on many factors: your taste... and even your age, your sex, your character, the place you come from, etc...
Mine is black and I think it's elegant :good:

I still regret buying the black one everytime i look at the white one. White looks the most premium among all the variants (My opinion) . I'm still happy with my black one though. You can go for orange or green too if you want unique colours
Sent from my D5833 using XDA Free mobile app
I agree with previous posts. No overheating, the battery is great, the camera is brilliant (in manual mode), and everything works (mostly) without issue - whatever problems I have had the answers have been readily available here on these forums.
Regarding colour then I had an orange phone, which looked pink in my clear case. After the lanyard hole sprung a leak in a glass of water (as a result from taking a bunch of photos the previous day in a freezing/frozen river) I changed to a black phone and I am not regretting the switch in colour; though a green one would have been nice because then the chances of grabbing the wrong phone from a table would lessen.
Now I stay away from subzero underwater photography and all is well.
Thank you everyone for sharing your opinion :good:
Go for the White one, it looks awesome, the battery king of all smartphones

I set the camera to 15.5MP. The focus is on multi and also the metering. The WB I change depending on the lighting and the I tend to have the EV a tick or two below center.
When you have the time you should try and take a bunch of photos of the same subject while changing the WB and EV between shots.
I generally have the ISO on auto but you should play with that as well but the ISO only goes to 800 if you set it manually in any other mode than 8MP, but 8MP allows for 3200 ISO (the full 12800 ISO is ONLY available on Superior-auto)
The manual mode always remembers your last settings.
Hope this helps.
P.s. Here is a Ladybug larva that I photographed with the Z3C (resized because it is attached)
Now i am tempted to go the other way, and trade in my Z3C for a Z3, reason being, my eyes are starting to get old, and a bigger screen will help me out. Decisions Decisions

but any way
all seams to be fine and working well apart from the GPS on the handset
i tried to purge the gps by putting *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone dialer and purge the assistance data with out no joy i also ran a diagnostic from the setting in the phone and it says no gps found test failed,
