Here is the difference between Xperia TX and Xperia SP
Xperia T - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Xperia SP
(1. No LTE) ( 1. Has LTE)
(2.Bravia Engine 1) (2.Bravia Engine 2)
(3. Internal Memory 16 GB) (3. Internal Memory 8 GB)
(4.Bluetooth 3.1) (4. Bluetooth 4.0)
(5.Camera 13 MP) (5. Camera 8 MP)
Definitely SP's performance is better cuz it has more powerful processor and better GPU and higher Battery. So if you are gamer choose SP. But if want to take good picture and also gaming choose Xperia T.
I'm using Xperia TX,(same as Xperia T) It's very stylish and good looking rather then SP. But Xperia TX also has a removable battery but T and SP not, so that's a good plus point. So if considered overall Xperia TX is the winner.
I played many HD games in my TX and all of them are ran very smoothly. So i'm happy with my Xperia TX. So my opinion is performance wise SP is better. But overall Xperia TX is best. Still choice is yours :cyclops:
I hope you will find ur desired mobile :good:
@irfan_omi22 Thanks mate
I don't care about BE as it can be ported. The only thing i worry about is the performance. SP costs 100 euros more and don't want to spend all this money, that's why i asked if the T's performance is good enough. As about games the only game i play is NFS and some fps. Ok, i think the best choice is T.
Just a note, I've seen that the adreno 320 devices have higher resolution textures in high-end games compared to the T/V.

SP has a way bigger battery, xperia t will get you through the day if you're a medium user but not if you're a heavy user. So, if battery is important to you I think you should go for the SP. Also I like the aluminium design of the SP. I wish I could trade my T for a SP.

Small correction there: The T would get you through a day with heavy usage and about 2 days with low usage. Also SP has the sexy LED strip!
Also BE2 ports? I don't really trust they work. At least I havent found a working port for mine.

Via pimp my rom i can integrate bravia engine 2. I don't link led bad to be honest mate. I personally don't find it useful for xperia u. I don't use it at all even for notifications.
The only thing that i am worry about is the adreno 225 to be honest. It's the only reason i am not sure if worth buying it.

Gaming is not something I do often but I have tried some games such as Anomaly HD, Gun Strike, Razor Salvation, Tentacle Wars and CS Portable. I have not experienced any kind of lag. As for phone calls, occasionally the dialer does lag a bit when making calls (especially T9 dialer) and annoys me, but that maybe because I have well over 200 apps and installed and many of them have running processes. If you're talking about calls during games, there is no problem. Incoming calls are fine.
About Bravia, there is no real proof that it works (even with those who claim it works) so it might just be two lines on your build.prop and a couple useless of extra files in your system
Or you can wait for the coming up Phablet,Xperia ZU (Togari) :laugh:
Or Xperia i1 Honami

o...i stay in Malaysia and here only sell Xperia TX,T no.
It seems that SP has a different CPU(series) from others(T,TX,Z etc).So maybe FXP/CM support will not be easy,but I can't be sure of it...
To be honest bro, I don't use cm10 even if its a great rom. I used it on my Xperia u but didn't like it because of the camera.
I found sp on almost same price with Xperia t so I think I'll buy the sp.
Hi,
I want buy new phone.
I thought about xperia t and SP. I can get them for 1PLN (POLISH).
Please help me choose which is better.
Thanks
Wysłano z E15i z użyciem Tapatalk
If you want root, custom roms, especially cyanogenmod, get the T. If you don't care about modding it, get the SP.
SP will have CM support too, I'd say SP if you can get it factory unlocked

Choose SP, it will have surely a better support from Sony in the future. T is now being forgotten pretty quickly.
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
This is how I would look at it:
Pros of Xperia T: It has a better camera (13Mgpx vs 8Mgpx), it has larger internal memory 16Gb vs 8Gb, and better front facing camera 1.3Mgpx vs 0.3 Mgpx.
Pros of Xperia SP: Slightly faster CPU (1.7Ghz vs 1.5Ghz dual core both), better GPU Adreno 320 vs Adreno 225, larger capacity battery 2370Mah vs 1850Mah.
For example for my mother and wife the Xperia T is the best phone, fast enough for everything they use it for and with an excellent camera.
If you are a power user the added speed in games, and battery life might make SP a better choice.
Good luck.
Hi guys
My xperia U was broken :crying: so i planned to buy a new XPERIA ...
Kindly help me to choose between SP or ZR..

Is 1Gb Enough good for Better Performance???????
Is SP will support For Feature Updates??? Because Sony Will Not Care For Low and Mid Range Phones......
A Better Display with good contrast and more vivid because i ll spend more time in watching movie...
and hard Gamer too....In some of Benchmark review i wondered that Xperia sp beaten Zr in some cases..

The ZR's better than the SP for your usage. The only advantage the SP has is it's design, and while the notification LED is really good, it just can't match the convenience of waterproofing.
Me too from Chennai Boss...
Go for ZR if u have budget...
ZR is best... Enjoy pannu Thala
Regarding SP i dont find any problem yet.. 1 GB RAM is enough for next two years.. And SP will support future updates from SONY... And one main important thing is SP battery will long last than ZR. Because ZR is the same battery as SP. But due to quad core and 2GB ram battery will drain fast comparing to SP... But i preffer ZR if u have budget...

If water proofing is not an issue(the flaps wear out anyways) I think you should seriously consider zl. It has bigger display with a rather small profile and has an ir blaster as well. Price wise nearly the same with zr.

ZR has a quad core too, the SP has a dual core.
Personally, I don't care about the waterproofing. Having all the ports covered is annoying and the loud speakers sound muffled. If you really need the extra performance go for the ZR. I suggest going to a retailer and try holding both phones in your hands to see which looks and feels better to you.

Performance is awsom machi... No lag.. I am a hardcore gamer. I did not find any lag in any HD games.. And i am also full time with ma SP
I had tough time with Real Racing 3 till my phone was not rooted. the game used to crash after 1 or at the most 2 races. I learned to root just so that I can play RR3 . Uninstalled lots of bloatware & installed Greenify. Now it easily last for 5-10 races depending on how hot the phone has become from gaming.
Using phone since 7 months and till date there is no problem Of hanging or lag in the xperia SP and I m using 16gb micsosd and phone is having 9.5gb Of apps also
It has mind blowing performance.

It depends on your need. Choose ZR for water friendly, choose SP for saving money

I had this dilemma too, in the end I went with SP because in my country, ZR is about 35-50% more expensive than SP. If money was non-issue, I'd go with ZR for sure.
Guys Finally I bought Xperia Z...:laugh::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Im very happy to hold the master-peice
SP or ZR?
Zr if you can afford it,
it has 2GB Ram (great for future games which are going to gobble ram like theres no tommorow and MUltitaking)
and it's Quad Core (again hopefully games in the future will become optimised enough to use all 4 cores effectively)

Hi everyone, as the title says, I'm thinking of upgrading. But people says SP has a lot of hardware problems.
Further more, do you guys think the upgrade from Xperia V worth it? Aside from the SP's horsepower, which is obviously better, how bout the camera, battery, build quality,..?
Thanks in advance and if possible, please tell me some problems SP usually have so that I can check for it carefully when I buy the phone :good:
p/s: SP is the only one in my price range so please don't suggest any other

hey, SP has its own standard. But, when u r upgrading from V, it wont sound good. V has better camera, IP 57 certified, better PPI, approx almost same processor (V: Dual1.5G; SP: Dual1.7G), same chipset, same RAM, same data rates. SP have a better GPU and battery.SP has bad viewing angles, comparitively bad camera than V. Put some extra bucks and try for Nexus 5. If you prefer only SONY made product, Xperia ZR will be a better option than SP. Nexus 5 and ZR both comes under almost same price bracket. So, decide..:good:

Thanks but water proof is not much use for me. And SP's chipset is wayyy better which is a big advantage over V in my opinion. Bigger batery as well.
In my country Nexus 5 and ZR are a bit overpriced so they wont be an option for me More over, I'm a Sony fan
I would personally wait a little more for Xperia 2014 mid range phone. Xperia V is still a good device, and it will have 4.3. SP is a little more powerful and has a slightly better battery, but Sony won't support it past 4.4. If you can find ZL for cheap where you live, that would be a good option too. Xperia SP's hardware isn't better than your V, screen is worse, the power button tends to break (I already got my SP swapped twice because the power button broke), Wi-Fi reception is very bad, borderline useless. Also, V's camera is much better for sure.
Xperia SP is way better than V imo. Bigger screen, better battery, LED strip. Camera is quite good too (way better than Nexus 4). Hardware is also better (same GPU as Nexus 4, which is very powerful: Adreno 320).
If SP is not a big improvement for you, and you're a Sony fan, I would upgrade to Xperia Z, they are not much more expensivce than SPs. Official CM10.2 is there and CM11 is quite useable for that phone. I'm planning to switch soon.
I had Arc S then i bought Xperia sp and it was big improvement for me but you have dual core phone with 1GB of ram it's not that bad. Like wiidbzxt said wait a little more Sony will probably release some new mid range phone in 2014. Maybe some phone from Z series would be better also over time price will go down.
Stick with your Xperia V and wait few months, that is my opinion .

This is incorrect, the SP has a MSM 8960 Pro Krait Chipset with 1.7 Ghz Dual core plus Adreno 320
The V has 8960 1.5 Ghz Adreno 225
It's 2014, avoid the SP. It was a good phone, but little to no updates makes the hardware useless. I'm selling mine this month. I got tired of trying roms.

I would suggest that you wait for more devices to get released and save enough money for a decent upgrade. There ain't much difference between Xperia V and SP. Also , Xperia SP will soon get discontinued. Sony on the other hand supports a device for 18 Months only after the release date. So Android 4.4 might be THE LAST software update for the phone(SP). Newer phones will be released with atleast Android 4.3 pre installed so that you could enjoy newer updates for the next 18 months. If you want to buy a phone in the coming days (urgently) then get atleast Xperia ZR or Xperia Z. Both the phones are future proof. Or better wait and save enough for Xperia Z1 Compact

Thanks guys,
The problem with Sony phones is, when they've just been released, the price is quite high and then drop about half in 1 year (that's in my country). Me on the other hand is still a student saving money for a newer phone so my options are quite narrow and I have to consider 6 months - 1year old phones.
And I play games on my phone quite often so I really want the GPU update from Adreno 225
But seems like you guys save my day anyway, I think I'm gonna save a little more for ZR or ZL maybe, or another 2014 midrange
@cnkhanh
I can understand that feeling. I myself am a student saving enough money for the next decent upgrade (maybe after 2-3years).
February onwards you'll see alot of devices popping up in the market.
But if you want to buy it urgently, then go for Xperia ZR. There ain't much price difference between SP and ZR. It costs 70 - 80$ more than SP. But it is worth it.
You do get a waterproof , dustproof and shatterproof smartphone with a 13meg camera capable of underwater photography along with 1.5GHZ Quad krait processor . Basically the same features of Xperia Z without the back glass panel and THE BATTERY IS REMOVABLE. And because of its 720p display it performs better than Xperia Z. Also Android 4.3 is available for Xperia ZR.

He's talking about Xperia Z. Now stop spamming all the threads with the same questions. If you want more out of your phone RTFM, it's all there on this forum, all the information you need about all the roms available.
I already gave you an extended answer to that question in another thread too!
On-topic:
Why not wait for the Xperia Z1 Compact? If you want a small phone, otherwise, just get the Z1 in the near future as it will drop price with the new Xperia phones coming or get a new midrange model.
If gaming is important for you I'd at least get a phone with the Adreno 330, that will ahve more support in the near future and will come along just a little longer, I know I'm gonna get myself a Z1 Compact, now owning a Xiaomi M2S and Xperia SP, the SP is too big and the screen quality is ****, especially when next to the M2S.
Or like the comment above, the ZR... well it's all up to you in the end, I still think it's strange people ask for advice when they have to make the decission all alone
You know what you need right?!
I know what I will get next if the screen is better then SP/equal to M2S... the COMPACT
Wait
Yup, Wait, if you can of course, but I would not choose the ZR over SP, I don't need a quad chip of 1,5, 1,7dual is better for me, games run much better, and the SP's got style, i like the design, besides the battery is great, but then again if you need to take pictures under water rather than playing games that's your business, I had no intention of sinking under 30meters under water with my gf to take pics of her or **** konws what else.

Or like the comment above, the ZR... well it's all up to you in the end, I still think it's strange people ask for advice when they have to make the decission all alone
You know what you need right?!
I know what I will get next if the screen is better then SP/equal to M2S... the COMPACT

There aint no official CM available for Xperia SP right now. But I reckon that a stable build is there on FreeXperia Project website. All CM builds for Xperia SP are posted over there. Even CM 11 (still under development though) has been uploaded on the website.
For GAPPS , google it. Or else go to cyanogenmod website. There you'll find GAPPS for all CM builds

Yea i know i thought the guy above was talking about an official one for the XSP so i just asked him
I also suggest to wait. Upgrading from V to SP is not worth it for the price you're gonna pay. It's too little for an upgrade considering the little advantages the SP has over the V. There are (i think) 7 Sony devices coming this year, 2 of them are midrange devices to replace the SP (D530x) so i think its much better to wait for them.
edit: im gonna get the Z1 this year prices are gonna get low for sure when newer ones come along. But it doesnt matter, it's still the same badass Z1 we know today

Hi.. I hv not told they have same features. I have used the words (approx almost same as) which matches them closely but not equally where SP wins closely.. Kindly look into it..

The Adreno 320 GPU is multiple times faster than the older Adreno 225 GPU,
the difference is not slight, but a large one.
at the moment though V to a Z upgrade is probably a better choice,

Until yesterday, i was an Xperia SP user but today i move on Xperia Z.
Now i'm on 4.3, i' not sure why i get better benchmark score with SP(antutu- 23500+) but with Xperia Z(antutu- 20000) even Xperia Z has a Quad Core Processor, 2GB RAM & Same GPU.
Can anyone please explain that.
Thanks in advance.
Mainly because the SP has a 720p display compared to the Z's 1080p, therefore there is less strain on the GPU during certain parts of the benchmark.

This.
Try it on your computer if you're still confused about it - set resolution lower, benchmark, set higher, benchmark, compare.
Also, consider the fact that the dual core processor in the SP is clocked faster than the XZ. So in single threaded apps/benchmarks it will most likely outperform the quadcore as the extra cores aren't being utilized.
The majority of apps out there are single threaded so it's possible that antutu's tests favor single threaded apps? This is just speculation though.
