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.

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.
Hi guys!
As the title the question is: Buy xperia z or wait for a new sony device?
REASON (from my point of view) FOR BUY XPERIA Z
1) Are 5-6 months that i don't have a smartphone... I think I really need one, the summer is coming.. there are a lot of advanges of having a smartphone, It's useful in a lot of situation.
2) I tried to search an used phone, for having maybe social and some useful apps with me, that help me wait.... something not too expensive (around 50 euros), but nothing (its a month that I search on the web)... I don't want to waste money!
3) some other small reason
REASON FOR WAIT (always from my point of view)
1) I will buy a smartphone, and I'll have to use it for at least 6-7 years... so much better it is , maybe much time could survive
2) I read a lot of news about a new sony device that could arrives in autumn... it is better in everything, I mean faster processor, bigger battery, new screen, new and i hope better camera, new UI...
3) I love take pictures, and i feel the less of a smartphone...if it is really a cameraphone, I'll try to wait ... ( i know, the camera of xperia z is good, but have some bugs when opening, saving...or maybe it's just a whim!!)
4) some other small reason
Try to help me please! everything is accepted : tips, solucions, votes....
and thanks all

1) Smartphones don't survive that long, you'll most probably get a new one each 2 to 3 years max.
2) If you could wait till the autumn then I'd suggest to do so.
A faster processor doesn't have to make it better, it also consumes more of your battery.
The camera of the xz isn't bad at all and I really doubt that they will make a new sensor for the new phone (Even though I heard that it will have a 20mp camera, which will mean a new sensor). In that case you wil have the same problems as the XZ. It will take time for Sony to optimize the software to the hardware, which will give you bugs.
You will always have bugs so you shouldn't worry about that.
Bigger battery: probable
Better screen: probable
3) Take a look at the pictures I made:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41689369&postcount=357
Don't mind the evening pictures, I used the wrong settings back then...
4) If you wait longer, you can also save more money to buy the phone when it comes out. I also thought about selling the XZ and then buy the new phone, but we'll see then.
The XZ isn't a bad phone at all, so don't get me wrong there even thought I gave you reasons to wait.
Hi Everyone,
It seems that i am in a lot of confusion over which phone to purchase.
After a lot of thinking, i have narrowed down my phone search to either the Xperia Z or Xperia Z1.
I absolutely love the looks of both these devices.
And so far following are the cons of both these devices :
Xperia Z :
Outdated S4 Pro processor, the processor is same as that of an almost previous generation nexus which is available cheaply!
Sub-par camera performance, one of my friend is using Xperia Z, the photo quality is definately lower compared to even an galaxy s3
Sub-par screen display quality, yes I have noticed the viewing angles and they annoy me
Xperia Z1 :
Heating issues, while researching the forum I found that majority of users are reporting heating issues even under normal web browsing.
Yellow tint on screen panel, discovered again while researching the forum. It seems that some one pointed out the batch numbers having this issue.
I would have almost definitely gone for the z1 if above two points had not come into attention.
My first question : Is the heating problem really that bad?. If the phone heats up even while browsing, then how can we even use snapdragon 800 for playing games?
Secondly is it possible to identify the batch number of a model before the sealed box is opened?. Can Indian users of Xperia Z1 list down the batch number of their devices and whether or not they have the yellow tint issue?
As far as usage is concerned, I would consider myself as a mediocre phone user. I play casual games which are not graphics/processor intensive ( read subway surfer,candy crush,etc).
I have tried hard core games like dead trigger/real racing 3, and I dont think I would be interested in playing such games on mobile device any time soon.
Can anyone please provide a personal opinion on whether the Z1 is worth shelling out an extra 10,000 Rupees for the sake of better camera and future proof processor. Any opinion on this part would be appreciated as i am literally bummed on it.
Please help
Hi guys, im buying a new mid-range phone and i'm deciding between the better two: Moto G and Xperia SP.
I really like the Moto G, but what i like the best is the screen, gorgeous, nice constrast and saturation. Black is pretty deep. Also i like its bloat-free, and running Kitkat is a breeze.
On the other hand there is the Xperia SP, while a little heavier than MotoG, is more or less the same phone. Features the newer 1.7 s4 pro (same as S4 Mini, another phone i considered but discarded for being too expensive for what it is), but what i think is the biggest advantage from the MotoG is the camera, 8MP and it is Sony. The screen, i think the MotoG's better.
Don't know why i feel the MotoG better than the Xperia SP, but the 5MP Camera is a deal-breaker. In your opinion which of this phones is the better one? For daily users of the Xperia SP, how good is the Screen? Contrast, Brightness, etc. Do you think the Sony's Camera to be so much better than MotoG? Recommendations? Thanks!

Hello guys,
I'm considering in buying Z2 (normal version) as is cheaper. My only concern and the doubt I have before go for it is if the ROMs made for the pro version are compatible with the normal Z2. If they are, would you recomend me to buy this phone or it's better to look for another brand ?
Thank you !
Hey there,
the ROMs für the Z2 pro are, afaik, not compatible withe normal Z2.
But there are some ROMs for the Z2, like cyanogenmod and others in this section as well.
Greetings
Does this phone have any big issue known ? I've found it arround 209 euros. Does it worth it ? How many screen hours does it have ?
The Z2 non-pro definitely has more ROMs available - Bliss, RR, CM13/14, Mokee, Slim and more. The Zukfans forum seems to be where the activity is : http://zukfans.eu/community/forums/zuk-z2.5/
