[Q] Is Xperia T better than Samsung Galaxy S III ?

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.
Best Regards

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.

Grats on your new toy codeworkx
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.

[Q] Xperia S to Xperia Z, is it worth the switch?

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...

Yes it is! I had S for 8 months and Z rocks! :victory:

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

Moto x vs xperia z c6602

I'm a Xperia z user, i was offered a 16gb moto x, i know i'm asking in Xperia z forum, not the best place to ask but you guys can try to be fair...i'd like to know pros a cons of each phone, and wich is better un general, the best optimized with Android in it, i prefer exact and technical answers thanks in avance to all. Relevant points could be, battery life, camera (updated moto x camera Vs 4.4.2 Xz camera), Google support with updates, outter aestethics, touch feel, media (music, videos, photos), general speed..

That might be a little difficult since this is the Xperia Z, and Moto X user Don't come around here I guess. But I would give Moto the fact that is basically vanilla android, hence there would be more upgrades. The Xperia Z I'm pretty sure the update would stop at KK 4.4.2 A friend have the MotoX and it seems nice, the display I like it more on the Xperia, make sense since we have more ppi. hte camera I fell is more or les the same, the Xperia suffers on low light. That's about it I can tell.

I enjoy this kind of comments, since you said kind of things I wanted to ear/see of, I know moto X user won't be sneaking by, but maybe some users here have had the chance to manipulate both phones.

Moto x screen is better than xperia z screen. viewing angles are not that good in xperia z. It fades when you tilt the phone. Moto x has cool gestures and active display. In low lighting, moto x camera does a decent job compared to z. But in looks department, z looks more premium. Battery life are one and the same. Z is an year old phone and won't get fast updates. 4.4.2 may be the last update. And moto x is current flagship phone and it is more likely to get future updates.

thanks @anagramgenius regardless Xperia z carry a 1080p display TFT technology is so much outdated till today where we can find IPS technology with crisp and sharper images and colors and awesome viewing angles, I've read and many forums around and tells moto X got a unlimited battery [emoji1], and there's a huge change and great performance because it's customized CPU, what do you think?

yeah. thanks to that 1.7ghz dual core processor and other processors for touchless controls. the 1.5ghz quad core processor in z is old one compared to that. Battery on moto x is ok. Nothing spectacular. Heard that after kitkat update, battery life is not so good.

Xperia z3c display and camera

Why sony made 9000 plus colour temperature of z3c display.i dnt know why..i m a die hard fan of sony.i always use sony handsets since sonyericsson t610...i v paid a lot of money on xperia z3c and was very excited to grab in my hands.but when I switched on z3c..i was astonished to see such a bad caliberated contrast and colour gammut..red always look pink...i tweaked with white balance stuff but cant find the solution..i m very much dissapointed with z3c display..
CAMERA...aaahh..i was very excited about 20.7 megapixel..but very bad..auto focus doest work.pics always blurry...camera software dosent do good job in macro at all..my xperia TX camera is awesome.it takes much focused and lively pics than z3c

Z3C vs G3?

Hi guys, how y'all doing?
I am going to buy a new phone, almost decided to buy Z3C but my mate recommended me LG G3 - which one is better in your opinion? I am not sure if G3 will fit nicely in my hand, that's 5,5" though, Z3C is really Compact )) in this case. How about CM? Which one is better to go with CM12/13? I am looking for great battery, nice performance (atleast rare lags) and screen (quality, contrast etc - not size).
I hope you will be able to help me sorting this out
Regards

If you are looking for an AOSP Experience, you should look for the Z3C with the Concept Rom, best of AOSP, ans best of stock Xperia (in my taste) (go to here for more information)
I don't know if something equivalent exist on LG phone

Thanks for reply
Yeah I heard about Concept, looks like clean Android. I love it, not like Xperia's overlay. I am looking forward for next replies!

Let me make this simple for you..
Battery: Z3C
Speed: Z3C
Camera: Both are Good but in low light it's Z3C
Display: G3
Design: G3

Design g3 really!?

My mate has G3, it's really big because of 5,5".. However my gf has Z3C, I have to admit that design is awesome imo, looks pretty expensive. How about benchmarks on both phones?
Thanks for replies guys, now I am sure that xda is right place to stay longer
