Diffrences Between T TL and TX!!! and V...

Ok so many many many people have been keep on asking this so im going to answer it...
TX - For Asian Markets only , it has a thinner lighter more arc like design , has a glowing logo , but has 1700MAh battery , although its removeable!
TL- For US At&T Carrier , Has LTE , Its like the Xperia T - Bluetooth 4 because has lte enabled s4 chip like the v + also for Canada also has a metal back! and a diffrenter back design to make way for metal
T- For Most European Countries..
GX = LTE enabled hayabusa variant of the TX for the Japanese market.
AX = NTT Docomo variant of the V. It DOES OF COURSE support LTE plus is waterproof, dustproof, has 1-seg TV, and infrared communication.
VL = AU by KDDI variant of the V. It ALSO supports LTE but it's ONLY for that particular carrier therefore is CDMA2000 compatible.
They are both Japanese domestic market versions of the Xperia V that are waterproof, dustproof, have 1-seg TV, and infrared communication.
They are also Sony FeliCa compatible but compatibility with other types of NFC are not guaranteed.
AX reported uses a mini uSIM while the VL reportedly uses a micro UIM.
The AX is rated to support 4G FDD-LTE at 100Mbps down and 37.5Mbps up plus 14Mbps down/5.7Mbps up HSPA.
The VL is reported to support 3.9G FDD-LTE at 75Mbps down/25Mbps up and 9.2Mbps down/5.5 Mbps up.
The difference is most likely due to the AX being on NTT Docomo's slightly more mature FDD-LTE network and the VL being on AU by KDDI's FDD-LTE network.
The big differences are in the bands they support but they BOTH support LTE.
Xperia AX on NTT Docomo:
W-CDMA/UMTS 800/850/1700/2100 + 1500 when on LTE which runs on 2100/1500/800 (bands 1/11/18)
2G is can roam on GSM850/900/1800/1900 plus roaming on Edge
Xperia VL on AU by KDDI (which keep in mind runs CDMA2000 3G on bands different from other places):
CDMA2000 1xMC 800/2000 for voice and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO RevA for Data
FDD-LTE 800/1500 (Bands 18/11) for 4G Data
Roaming on WCDMA on 850/2000
Roaming on GSM on 190/1800/900
AX and VL variants are both Japanese market specific variants of the V with market specific features like TV, Infrared, etc.
The difference between the devices are the uSIM sizes and the networks/bands they support
AX - Non LTE Japanese DoComo Version
LT25c or a.k.a V - For chinese markers , has a diffrent design like the vl
Here ive answerd your questions... if any more post here..

You can also look at Specifications compared – Xperia T/TX vs. Xperia V vs. Xperia J from Xperia Blog

Is this forum going to account for all versions?

There's one thing I don't understand ...
The Qualcomm SnapDragon S4Plus SoC has BT 4.0 integrated according to the specs available on Qualcomm's website (link).
So why aren't the Xperia based on this SoC (like the MSM8260A in Xperia T) BT 4.0 ? Everywhere, it's said that Xperia T is BT 3.1.
Is it some kind of Sony mistake in the specs given ? Did they fail to implement it ?
Thanks for any answer.
Nickola

made changes , the xperia tl has bluetooth 4 because it has the same lte enabled chip as the v so it has bluetooth 4 but the T dosent..

You can temporarily add Canada to the T as it was just announced for my homeland . They did state that there would be HSPA and LTE models available but they weren't specific if the TL would be the LTE model.

I don't think it should as it's not hard to find in a low activity forum such as this and the majority of buyers don't have all the phone models as a choice as they're region specific so isn't a vital piece of info, just a nice to have. Also it's not a thread that requires bumping as we have the search function if it ever gets lost for the few people that do have the choice between all of them so can always be found.

What are the chances of seeing unbranded (non-AT&T) firmware for the TL anytime soon?
I want 4G, but only if I don't have to endure AT&T limitations...

U can flash europe ftf i think but exclude baseband.. it worked on ion i bet it works on t

I was told Sony was talking about selling an unbranded unlock TL in the US through retailers like Amazon and Newegg but don't have a timeframe of when that will happen. Once the TL firmware is available through SUS I plan to try flashing the T firmware excluding the base and to see if that works. We did that with the ion initially using the LT28h firmware before the international ICS was available.

Xperia TL has a metal back, which is pretty thrilling.

`thanks for info

You still have "AX - Non LTE Japanese DoComo Version" written which was the part that was wrong.

They are all using the same chipset with LTE module but Sony decided to disable LTE module on T and TX.....T will ship globally starting 2013 and clearly T isn't designed for Europeans exclusively but this would be the last swedish design Sony Ericsson/Sony cellphone.

[Q] C6603 only gets edge in US?

I just bought a UK version xperia z model: C6603
A lot of people proved that Xperia Z DOES work on ATT's 3G network
It is so weird that my xperia z only has edge
I‘m currently using Straight Talk in USA ( I don't think it's a problem of Straight Talk, because its network is also powered by AT&T, my lumia 920 has LTE using exactly the same sim card)
I tried factory reset, LTE/WCDMA preferred/WCDMA only, flash another ROM - not work
Is there anyone having the same issue? The speed of edge really freaks me out
Anyone can help me? THANKS!!

im on h20 with the xperia z c6603 in the states. currently get an abysmal 0.15mbps d/l, & 1.12u/l.
if any one is using one of the other mvnos and receiving better numbers, please share your experience.

If you wanted full HSPA+ support you want the C6602. The C6603 will only get HSPA in areas that are running the right frequency which is spotty.

Depends on the frequencies used by your carrier for which modes. The 6603 does not cover the 1700 & 1900MHz bands for 3G used by quite a few carriers in the US

[Q] Is it compatible with T-Mobile new LTE network?

I really want to know if this xperia z will be compatible with the new T-Mobile LTE network and its HSPDA+ network?

LTE has more chance than HSPDA+, most US 3G networks are not supported from the 6603, only the 6602

[Q] Deciding Between 6602 Or 6603

Hello All,
Before I order my Xperia Z, I am trying to figure out what model to get best suited for my carrier. I am in US and would like to use T-Mobile.
I am leaning towards the 6603 since it has the ability to be flashed with the ZL baseband which enables LTE support for those in Canada. It should work for US also but nobody has posted from US with success. My only concern with the 6603 is that it does not have 1700/1900 support out of the box.
I guess what I am asking is, if I purchase the 6603 and flash the ZL baseband, will it have the ability for HSPA+ for Tmobile? The ZL supports LTE and HSPA+. Ideally it would be great to have LTE also but at a minimum I would want HSPA+. Not sure if this is a hardware or baseband limitation.
The 6602 has HSPA+ out of the box but apparently you can't get LTE even with flashing the ZL baseband.
If someone could clear the confusion that would be much appreciated.

C6602 won't get LTE support cause it doesn't have its compatible hardware (LTE antenna)
but with HSPA+ u will have fast internet access like LTE
But i suggest u to buy C6603 because of LTE
:good:

Yeah that's what I'm leaning towards I just don't want to get the C6603, flash the zl baseband only not to get HSPA+ or LTE and be stuck on Edge.
I wish they could just make a variant that supports all lol

C6606 should be launching soon. Wait for that if it matters than much. Can't go wrong with c6606

does your city support LTE? if not then why bother? I am using HSPA+ on tmobile and its 15 down and 3 up which is equivalent to my fios internet...I dont need 30mb down for a phone as it is irrelevant as most server will throttle download speed anyway.

It does and I like the idea of further proofing. I might try AT&T also if not happy with Tmobile. I do agree with HSPA+ being beast, I just like to have as many options available as I can
I wish the C6606 had a firm release date i'm itching for a new phone to play around with.

If i were u i wait for that ZR, its water proof not like the Z where its water resistant

The C6606 definitely looks like the way to go. HSPA+ and LTE support for the US and identical specs to the C6603. Just no release date.
The ZR being waterproof is appealing but looks to have a 720p screen and 4.5"

C6606 lte for ATT?

hi, according to specs on sony's page for the t-mobile xperia z it only has one LTE band. Will Atts Lte work with this phone?

More than likely firmware based restriction you could try flashing a generic ftf that has access to more lte bands

C6606 on AT&T LTE
I want to know this badly too. It only list band IV (700) for LTE. Will it work on AT&T LTE? Please help if anyone has a clear answer. Thanks
