Any news that the Xperia V, T and TX will come to the UK?

I'm more interested in the Xperia V

[Xperia Z General] mrsatan:
I fail to see why you think the V is really the flagship. It has a smaller screen, less internal memory and the same chip as the Xperia T. Why then do you think it is the flagship when the Xperia T is clearly the flagship. The TX is a shot in the dark though since it may be an S3.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

Seriously, f*ck off att. I hate how I can't get certain phones unlocked because ATT gets deals with them. The Xperia T would be a nice replacement to the S, but I dont pay for data and buy only unlocked phones. Even though I have ATT this is just bunk. Also you know ATT wont allow you to unlock the bootloader which sucks majorly.
[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
I am in the same boat as you and feel the same way.
[Xperia Z General] mrsatan:
Yeah I might just go with the next Nexus if it is good or import an Xperia T if its really that much better than the Xperia S. I love my Xperia S, but there are a few flaws here and there.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/08/30/is-the-sony-xperia-v-the-real-new-flagship/

but im sure the future phones will carry the same/ better features as V.

Specs/Design wise yes not much of a different, still prefer the T/TX, but features wise V has the upper hand.
[Xperia Z General] thejosetree:
Why is the Xperia V the real flagship? Clear Audio and Bravia Engine 2 are both a software layer that for sure can be exported to other devices in the same way that Beats Audio. It's just a gimmick, a marketing strategy.
[Xperia Z General] mrsatan:
Like joseph says below me, I am sure clearaudio and the new bravia engine can be ported, its not like they added a chip to it to handle them. 8 internal vs 16 internal is a big difference in my mine since you get more space for apps and games. They added these gimmicky features to the V to make it stand out, same thing they did to the Xperia P, U, and Sola.
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
O sorry didn't get that probably he posted while I was still typing lol.

If thats the case then how many of you are actually getting any of these phones or actually wait for the Xperia nexus. According to the leaks, winter isn't far away from now.

I don't want to be switching phones every 6 months lol
[Xperia Z General] mrsatan:
Im waiting on the Xperia Nexus if it is true. I would consider an Xperia T but not until the price drops quite a bit. I bet it will be 650 dollars on launch.

[Xperia Z General] darth5zaft:
I thought about it too but as of now those gimmicky features on the S,P,U,Sola as well.as 2011's Xperias are at the harware level.

And they haven't differentiate their phone based on software layer just yet.

The new notification bar is on the Xperia GX, along with the small apps (I think; the notification bar for sure I know). And the GX was already dumped.

I'M CONFUSED :S
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Lets do VOTING guys:

Which Xperia is for You, Xperia T, TX, V, J?
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
guys got some bad news about the TX.

Sony just updated the white paper again for the TX on sonymobile.com

first time was listed 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 Dual Core

second time was listed 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8260A Dual Core

third time (which is now) 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 Dual Core

but product page says it is MSM8260A. This is so confusing omg.

if it does come with an S3chip and not S4chip, im sticking with my XS till the Xperia Nexus or phones later on in 2013.

Really disappointed if it does come with S3 chip.

[Xperia Z General] CAmmon:
Spectre, any mention of tx in the us? Also will the white versions of whatever they do release be offered?
[Xperia Z General] Spectre51:
TX probably not do to it being a variant of the T. It isn't on the US roadmap just like the V isn't but I will find out. I will have to check on the colors. Might not have that info just yet though.
[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_tx_t_and_v_benchmarks_are_here_promising_too-news-4722.php

Here is your answer, The T, TX and V all have the Krait CPU :D
[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
i know, but doesnt it sound strange?

1st time Sony posted the White paper is with 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 Dual Core, then they changed it to MSM8260-A Dual Core, and now they changed it back to MSM8260 Dual Core.

If it was a misunderstanding they would change it once, but 3 times in total? seems like they are sure about this. :(
[Xperia Z General] Zeemanv2:
If u ppl already confused by alphabets only think what will happen in remembering xperia 2013 series which will be like "Xperia Y" and "Xperia Z" , their hspa+ variaints "Xperia Y1" and "Xperia Z1" and their steroided ver.(bumpd cpu clock) "Xperia Y1 Alpha" and "Xperia Z1 Beta" lol:D
[Xperia Z General] dubist:

[Xperia Z General] dante2086:
It's now MSM 8260-A on their product page. So it's Krait!!! Blame Qualcomm, couldn't they just have given it another number. 8260 and 8260A are two completely different generations. Putting just an A, makes it seem like a minor upgrade.

They said the TX is only for the Chinese Market.

We in Europe will get the T !

and the release is within the 3.Quart of 2012 this means within September.

See the ATTACHMENTS :)
[Xperia Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Huh

I just saw a video from the verge which stated that TX would be available throughout Europe except in Germany. Germany will exclusively have the Xperia T.

THIS IS SO CONFUSING :S

For anyone in Canada like myself, Sony has confirmed to mobilesyrup that we will be getting the Xperia T. No date yet.
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
In UK T is going to be on sale from this coming Wednesday :).

Btw any idea when the Xperia T XDA forum will be up? It should be soon as the phone will go on sale in 5 days.

its on the japanese xperia lt29i as well, so my guess would be a japanese v with japanese standards (this swirly logo is a domestic technology, as much as i know).

would explain the increased thickness. tv tuner and the other goodies need some space

Ill eat my hat if Sony actually meets the Sept. 5 date for the Uk. I just hope that the release of the Xperia T doesnt cannabalize the development for Xperia S.

[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
expansys-usa.com has both the Xperia T and Xperia V on pre-order. Anyone order from them before? What about warranty?
[Xperia Z General] mrsatan:
Ive never dealt with their warranty, but I wouldnt order it until you see the price. Apparantly they ship back to the country it is from and they deal with Sony, but it takes forever.
[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
Yeah I read that somewhere too. Still better than not having warranty at all!

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

I noticed that the Xperia V only has the 3G 850 Mhz band and not the 1900. Anyone know if that is sufficient to get AT&T 3G service or do you also need the 1900 band? I read an article back in 2009 that AT&T was migrating their 3G network to the 850 Mhz band by end of 2010. Anyone has any info?
[Xperia Z General] c33v33:

I bought Xperia S and P from expansys, they provide manufacture international warranty on their phones. My Xperia S had yellow tint issue and I contacted them, all I had to do is ship the phone to them on my own expense and they took care of the rest (shipping to France and shipping back to me). It took about 7 weeks to repair my phone, and got it back brand new with no issues!!

I would highly recommend purchasing from them. ;)

[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
The Sony Xperia T is on pre-order for €549, whilst the Xperia V will set you back €580 (even more justification why the Xperia V is the true flagship, it costs more than the Xperia T!)

PRICE of Xperia V >>> Xperia T !!! WT* :D

Sony phone tend to decrease in price after selling for about 2~3 week

[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
I live in Vietnam, and most of the shops here, they tend to pre-order or hand carry (from other country of course) the phone to their shop and keep in stock. So it's easy to buy it even though the local Phone Dealers havent started to sell them :))

For Sony phone, I heard that they import Taiwan because most of the time Taiwan get the first batch of Sony phones compare to other part of Asia (Excluding Japan :D)
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Frankly, what is the big deal about that "flagship" status? Different phones for different people. Neither of them is "better", everything depends on your personal preferences. So both of them are flagships, just in different segments :)

LTE chips, sealed body add significant costs, no wonder the device is more expensive.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

It will go down to the more realistic "under 500euros" soon. Otherwise they won't sell any, as the allegedly "superior" SGS3 is currently going for 500eur and HTC OneX for 460eur.

Maybe this was a plan from the beginning :) ? Maybe they are still constrained by the chip supply? Then produce as many as possible, announce, put on display with some ridicular price tag just to show presence, brag for elite status and generate publicity. And if there still are enough die hard fans willing to pay any price, proudly annouce "sold out" :)
[Xperia Z General] samven582:
does the xperia V support the AT&T LTE network?
[Xperia Z General] dachao:

Differences

Umm from what I understand , this is how our line up looks like in terms of exclusive features

-Bluetooth 3.1

-16 GB Flash Memory

Display and Media:

-Sony Bravia Engine

-4.55 Inch screen

Xperia V-

Camera:

-VGA Front Camera

-HDR

-Superior Auto

Build:

-Dust and Water Resistant

-Bluetooth 4

-LTE

-8GB Flash Memory

-Clear Audio +

Common Features:

Arc Design

Exmor R 13MP Camera

xLoud

ICS (Soon to be JB)

so how do you classify the phones? Which one is the ultimate experience?

More importantly, how do you chose? I've never bought a phone for myself since the Xperia X1. This is very unsettling when you have better software on the smaller phone but decent enough software on the bigger one. Does anyone know if you can use normal GSM Sims on the V?:confused:
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
At the press conference, that Sony dude said all the Xperia devices feature Clearaudio+.
[Xperia Z General] nemer12:
i think I will buy a SONY T..but I will not make the same mistake I buyed sony s with 450 Euro and in a month the price was 350 euro..so and the thing is at that quad CORE crait will appear on the market at the same price /:) .
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
They said that V is using the new camera sensor.

Of course, normal GSM Sim cards can be used, but depending on how old they are you won't necessary be able to access 3G/4G services.
[Xperia Z General] kaleys:
which is newer than the Stacked Exmor R sensor? or is that the new one exclusive to the V.

well if the V can use normal sims as well, i guess its looking better than the other ones. Do you have any personal favorite yet?

i just thought it wouldn't support the older Sims since i was gonna buy a HTC Rezound and was told it wouldn't use anything other than LTE sims
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Which one has better camera T, TX or V ?

Coz i was really disappointed with XS camera..

sent from the BEaST Galaxy S3
[Xperia Z General] kaleys:
from what i've read the V is said to have the same 13 MP camera as the others with the new sensor but has the HDR and Superior Auto technology from Sony Cybershot. Don't know if the other have this too or if it will play out well.
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Of course, the SIM card will need to be cut down to microsim size, but this is hardly a problem. So no advantage or disadvantage here.

Is that Rezound not a special Verizon/CDMA thing? Does it even need the sim card at all?

Anyway, my personal favorite is Xperia T. It has bigger battery and bigger screen while still maintaining almost the same size as V.

I have no use for LTE (now and in the next two-three years) and I don't need water resistance. And LTE combined with 1700mAh battery is in my opinion just pathetic.

Xperia V could have a better camera sensor, though current samples sadly do not show any such singns. Let's hope those are just a preproduction sample problems.
[Xperia Z General] kaleys:
Thanks! Yea, i think i'm gonna get my hands on the T or TX. Even though the V has some nice additional features like HDR, the TX's bigger screen and dedicated camera button had me hooked for now.

[Xperia Z General] qtekker:
Sorry for quoting an old post, but after reading so many articles it's still not clear for me. Most of the handson video's and articles report that the T and TX are the same with minimal differences (TX has smaller battery, body is slightly smaller).

But nobody mentioned the difference in arc design. Both have arc's, but the TX is thinner in the middle. Therefore the TX has 'more' arc, which I find better looking. Just like awesome shows in the pictures. Am I correct?
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
You can say TX is same as GX in terms of design..

from xperia PLAY
[Xperia Z General] qtekker:
But on your posted pics I see a slimmer center on the TX.

By the way... When the mint was leaked by (I think) the Russian website everyone finds it disappointing. Since the IFA I only read positive reactions. The T is still the same as the 'fat' leaked Mint.

I like the design of the GX, and in my observation the TX design = GX which is different than the T.

But probably I'm wrong, because all others say T design = TX.
[Xperia Z General] karun11:
The TX = GX design. Mint ie..T is thicker and doesn't have such a prominent arc like curve. The TX gets my vote and since I'm in India, my money too :P
[Xperia Z General] thejosetree:
From the sony forums:

I don't know why Xperia V will come with BE2 and Xperia not. But the main difference is that BE2 is faster.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/276784#276784

Like I said, just a gimmick. :good:
[Xperia Z General] qtekker:
Although the T looks good I don't think that anyone prefers the T above TX. So Sony Could have save cost for developing the T. When the GX was announced for Japan, everybody was enthusiastic about the design.

My money also goes to the TX, but my challenge is how to get it, since it's not comming to Europe. Well, let me contact my relatives in Hong Kong.
[Xperia Z General] kaleys:
i'm thinking of getting it from India through a friend. Any idea when it will release? Hopefully before he comes back..
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Well, I would be the one preferring T over TX. Because of bigger battery which is frankly is still too small.

And given the size of the phone I could not care less about that extra 0.6 millimeter. Heck, I would even welcome another extra millimeter if it would enable a >2000mAh battery.

TX looks visually thinner mainly because of that "silver" inlay, otherwise you won't even notice. But since it is just a painted plastic, I am glad T is honest about it materials and does not try to portray something it isn't.
[Xperia Z General] LegibleEel:
Great...so the 2 phones I wanted I can't get in the UK? Xperia V and TX.
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
BE2 is pretty much the White Magic screen. It has extra white pixel. Nothing else. They're just rebranding it as BE2, since White Magic doesn't seem to be picking up on consumers.
[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
Hello there! Long time! :laugh:

Any idea on the release dates? Is 9/5 as stated in UK websites true?
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
Are you sure MBE2 is just WhiteMagic or that AND software ? The only reason I doubt your statement is the fact that the Sony Vaio Tap 20 also features Mobile Bravia Engine 2 and I am not sure Sony has a 20 inch WhiteMagic panel ? :victory:
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
That's what they've informed in the presentation they gave me. It clearly states it has an extra white pixel on the screen. Plus, we all know the BE is mostly software related, so hardware wise, that's all it has.

So basically, MBE2 is just the renamed version of White Magic and a more advance software about Bravia Engine??
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:

I see :). Can you give us more info about the Xperia V features. And if it has the same camera as T/TX just with Superior Auto mode or a different one.
[Xperia Z General] unknown13x:
It's the same one as the T/TX. Yes, Sony is whacking the crap out of the mid-high sector with the V. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z General] Rubenos:
So what is the HDR that is available in the V and not in T/TX? And screen difference between T/TX and V, only software or also hardware?

Also, in the whitepaper of xperia t, it says that it only supports 4 fingers, and xperia tx and v support 10, typo?
[Xperia Z General] dubist:
im still waiting for an official release date here in germany for the xperia t :mad:
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
How odd this....

Either it does not work as expected and goes under "move on, nothing to see here" or Sony marketing department just had their "epic fail" moment.

If you splash out serious bucks for trade show and have some very special technology nobody else has on the market, then why is it not front and center? What do we know about "special" technologies in T/TX/V? Actually nothing.

I can understand why "white magic" was dropped as it has quite a potential to offend some people. I can also understand, that Sony want to be above spec lists and sell "emotions".

But just a bunch of black rectangular slabs do not necessary create any emotions. Even arc'ed ones. Where is the demo of that BE2? Why it is so special? How it is different from BE1? We did see nothing and still puzzle over what it is or isn't....

Questions... questions....
