Sony Xperia T Reviews
Sony Xperia T Review
You may recognise the Xperia T. It was the smartphone featured in the 2012 James Bond blockbuster, Skyfall. But beyond that, it also has some beefy specs that just beg to be reviewed. So here we go. The Sony Xperia T boasts a scratch-resistant 4.8" Bravia display with high resolution (1280 x 720 pixels), a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm S4 dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM and a 13-Megapixel Exmor CMOS camera sensor that films in 1080p. The OS is Android (Ice Cream Sandwich, with a Jelly Bean update in the works), but it's a slightly revised version with Sony's own user interface overlay. The question is: does this high-end addition to the Xperia range (having nudged the Xperia S out of that position) really have what it takes to attract the likes of James Bond? The Xperia T is similar in design to the Xperia Arc, though heavier (140 g). When seen from the front and back it has a classic look that may not stand out from the crowd (compared to the Xperia S, for example), with a mix of glossy and matte materials to form a highly rectangular body. But when looking from the side you notice the angular curves that give this phone its unique touch and make it sit nicely in the hand.

Sony is doing its level best to work through the alphabet with its Xperia range of Android phones, following the recent Xperia S, Xperia J and Xperia U. The Xperia T is the latest addition to this growing stable, with a 4.6-inch HD screen, NFC capability, dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor and a camera with 13 (count 'em) megapixels. It's such an alluring box of tricks that even James Bond has signed up. So is the Xperia T about to sneak up on Sony's flagship Xperia S around the back of the casino and neutralise it? That's the kind of top-secret intel I'll divulge in this review.The Sony Xperia T is available on pay as you go for around £400. Alternatively, you can pick it up from £25 on a monthly contract. Those of you who've recently picked up the Xperia S may well be wondering if you've made a grave error. But despite the Xperia T's slight spec bump in areas such as camera megapixel count and overall CPU power, this isn't the massive upgrade Sony would have you believe.The Xperia T unquestionably makes more sense to newcomers or Sony stalwarts who are looking for a new device to replace their ageing Sony Ericsson Xperia Arcs and Plays. The back of the Sony Xperia T bends inwards, just like its stablemate Xperia Arc does.

Since throwing off the shackles of the Ericcsson partnership, Sony has forged ahead with its Xperia brand – producing some good looking handsets equipped with enough features to rival the best smartphones.The Sony Xperia T takes over from the Sony Xperia S as the Japanese company's new flagship device. It runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, backed by 1GB of RAM.The 4.6-inch display uses Sony's Bravia TV technology and on the back of the handset you'll find the 13MP camera – one of this phone's best features.There's also NFC, something noticeably missing from Apple's iPhone 5, and Sony incorporates it better than most other smartphone manufacturers.You can pick up the Sony Xperia Tags (more on them later) or the Sony NFC speaker and use this developing technology to do a range of neat things.The Sony Xperia T isn't cheap, it is a flagship device after all, but the asking price is still relatively modest compared to the likes of the iPhone 5 or the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Since Sony parted company with the Ericsson part of the brand that was synonymous with 90s telecoms, it has gone from strength to strength. Its Xperia phones, with their focus on music, movies and camera that have got better and better – finishing up with the slick Xperia S. But here comes the next generation in the shape of the Xperia T, with a pumped-up processor and 13-megapixel super-snapper, and running on Android Ice Cream Sandwich is the cherry on the top. So is this the next great media superphone? The Xperia T has a far more substantial feel than the Xperia S. It measures 129.4 x 67.3 x9.35mm and also boasts a big 4.55in display. The design has taken a diversion from the square stylings of the Xperia S, with a flat back, as well as a flat screen that sports sloping edges. And then there's those silver buttons down the side of the handset. It also has seams, which give it, along with its heavy body, a real retro feel. Turn over the Xperia T and you'll see a soft rubber covering that makes the handset feel sturdy – plus there's a shatter-proof sheet over the glass (that also is scratch resistant) so there is plenty of protection against knocks and scuffs.
Sony Xperia T review: T-rex
Back when the driving seat was shared with Ericsson, Sony was a little short of delivering a real winner in the high-end market, the company's top-range smartphones always a notch below the Galaxy S lineup and their HTC counterparts. Now on their own, Sony cannot shy away from the toughest of battles and the Sony Xperia T is ready to be thrown in the fire. A true flagship, the Sony Xperia T comes properly powered by a Snapdragon S4 chipset, boasting a class-leading 13MP camera and a marvelously sounding 720p display. There's no quad-core on its resume, but the Xperia T is ready to take on the best Android offerings out there. The Sony Xperia T hasn't got the raw muscle of some of its rivals, but there's enough to get you interested. And once you go and give it a try, the design and handling will hardly let you down. In a smartphone market as crowded as today's, handsets with this much character are hard to come by. Now, a grateful nod is well in order to old allies and the Xperia Arc. Setting record benchmark scores is one thing, but having an excellent chipset in a body that's great to look at is to many a more than even tradeoff.

We've been waiting with bated breath for the Sony Xperia T ever since it became clear that's the new phone of James Bond, err… that it will feature a 13MP camera sensor from Sony. It is not just that 13MP shooter that the Xperia T has to flaunt – it is powered by a modern 28nm Snapdragon S4, has a large HD screen, and is one of the few to take advantage of Android's on-screen navigational buttons, allowing it to keep the size compact and bearable. Would these be enough to stand out against the thin quad-core competition coming in spades from Samsung and LG? Dive into our review to find out… Sony sort of pioneered the arched handset design of its big-screen phones with the Xperia arc, and the Xperia T falls into that tradition, offering a slightly curved inwards back, like a stretching cat, which helps with the grip and looks more interesting than the regular flat rears. The back cover is also made of soft-touch plastic and has tapered edges, aiding the grip further.You can compare the Sony Xperia T with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool. The front also has a distinctive slope at the bottom, which, together with the rounded corners, makes it more distinct than most flat rectangular fronts out there.
Hands on: Sony Xperia T review (Preview)
The Sony Xperia T ushers in a new era for Sony Mobile, as the Japanese smartphone manufacturer looks to double its handset ranges, with a new series of devices which carry on from the now defunct Sony Ericsson design.At the top of the new pile sits the Xperia T, leading the revolution of Sony Ericsson design, backed up by the Xperia V and Xperia J which will follow later this year.TechRadar managed to get some time with the Xperia T before its big reveal at IFA 2012, but it's worth noting that the software was not completely finished, with Sony promising better performance and functionality come the final version.Sony says that the Xperia T will land in stores in the coming weeks, and while there's currently no word on cost, expect it to carry a lofty price tag, probably higher than the Xperia S, as it sports a bigger display.When you ogle the Xperia T for the first time you'll note the arched back – a design nod to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and Xperia Arc S, however the plastic rear which adorned the co-branded predecessors has been ditched, with Sony opting for a rubberised finish instead.
Sony Xperia T (Preview)
Pay attention, 007. The Sony Xperia T is Sony's new top agent, with a licence to kill the iPhone and the rest of the world's smart phones. Featuring in the forthcoming James Bond film Skyfall, the Xperia T packs NFC, a 13-megapixel camera, and Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Known in some parts of the world as the the Xperia TX, the Xperia T is Sony's new flagship Android phone, leading the Xperia line-up into battle with its smart phone rivals. We weren't impressed by the T's looks -- in fact, our first impression on handling the phone is that it's fairly bog-standard for a high-end phone. Still, it is thin and light. It comes in black, silver and white. The Xperia T boasts a 4.6-inch high definition screen, with technology borrowed from Sony's Bravia televisions. Sony says it's the best screen on a Sony phone ever, and it's certainly crystal-clear. For snapping secret documents there's a 13-megapixel camera, which starts up and is ready to fire in just over a second. The main camera also shoots full 1080p HD video, with a second camera in the front for 720p video calling. The Xperia T is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and it runs Google's Android software.
