Hey! Don't worry that Sandisk 64GB card will work just fine with the Xperia T or any other Android device. You can check reviews of it being used on a range of Android devices from Xperia Arc, Sola to Galaxy S3. :)
[Xperia Z General] miki_69:
True, but my concern is 1.12 microns per pixel. This is quite low Exmor R on not. Both N86 and N8 have 1.75 microns allowing more light passing through... No wonder end result is not as expected. At least focusing is much faster now comparing to Xperia S. I still think TX images are better even they have same sensor, so I wonder if TX runs on latest SW release? :confused:

All said, Xperia T has gorgeous design, so I may forgive that :)

Cheers,

miki
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
quite a few people tried this 64GB card with other Android phones claiming up to 32GB and those phones work. they were able to run benchmark to test speed of the card.. no reason to not work on Sony phone. however, no one mentioned if they ever tried to fill up the whole card on their phones that's one thing I'm not sure about.
[Xperia Z General] metcard:
I have an xperia play with a 64gb XC card and 20gb free.

The OS shows that it can access the whole 64gbs (or thereabouts) so it seems fine.
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
I'm concerning about (internal storage + SD card) > 64GB. if I remember correctly, play only has 1GB internally

Sony's stacked Exmor RS phone camera sensors detuned over quality worries

Sony would still like you to get excited about its upcoming Exmor RS stacked CMOS image sensors -- just not too excited. Both the 8-megapixel IMX134 and 13-megapixel IMX135 are scaling back from their original RGBW (red, green, blue, white) coding to an ordinary RGB over concerns that they aren't meeting Sony's "image quality standards" as originally designed. Consequently, either sensor will be less sensitive to light and diminish some of that high dynamic range magic. The company also doesn't want to get our hopes up for a quick arrival on shelves and clarifies that there's a phased launch starting in January.
[Xperia Z General] charlatan01:
With all due respect to the reviewer, and that is a very good device review, I wonder if they charged and spent the battery a few times before the testing. I cannot guarantee this, but in my experience with the phones I've had (all Android), I usually notice a marked improvement in battery performance after two or even three complete cycles of charge and drain.

Hey Spectre51,

From sonystyle.com, I saw Xperia acro S is labeled as "Android 4.1".

Is this real or just a typo?

I hope it's real..

They add lots of taxation, I'll have to wait till January so I can get it for a "reasonable" price... twice as much as you'll pay :(
[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:
It will still be expensive by there. If you can, wait for 2013 devices (as my XS will hold a little more, I will trade mine only on late 2013...)

"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
[Xperia Z General] MatheusSnakepit:
Well, when Sony released Xperia S here it costed a lot too, but 2-3 months later it was already affordable... All we need is just a little patience :D

[Xperia Z General] Felimenta97:

[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
that timeline is for V. TX is already available in Asia. Taiwanese carrier had already started subsidize plan with TX. subscribers for those plans are expected to get phones in their hands in a week or two
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Because those are round numbers. In binary. And flash chips work in binary.

Something in between would be just awkward to design and produce. Unless you resort to buying b-grade chips with say up to 30% defective blocks and disable them before delivery.

Xperia TX vs iPhone 5:(note that images were NOT taken at the same time) :)

Cheers,

Miki
[Xperia Z General] lokenok:
Iphone looks better because tx compresses alot! wow
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
^

Errr ??? Clearly the TX photos are better. Much less noise and more detail.
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Damn, the TX completely destroys the iPhone 5 in those comparisons. Clarity, noise level, and I'm even wlling to bet colour reproduction is better on the TX.

Can't wait for more comparisons, and if things are this good on current sensors, I have to wonder how good it'll be once Sony moves to the Exmor RS sensors.

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Hey am I missing something here, or are the pictures above for the TX far better than the pictures taken by Phonearena in their review of the Xperia T? Both phones have the same camera, no? But the pics above are far, FAR better than Phonearenas night and day samples.

Here check for yourself

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Xperia-T-Review_id3131/page/3
[Xperia Z General] dachao:
I have the XS and it takes amazing pictures. Some other owners of the XS are complaining about noise and blurry images.

I think that there is some variation between phones. the production of the camera modules is held to a certain quality standard

but very small variation can make a difference.
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
The S always felt undersaturated and lacking contrast for me. Sticking a hood made of a cone of paper in front if it helped the contrast a lot.
[Xperia Z General] miki_69:
then you definitely wouldn't like N8 either....

vivftp,

I've noticed it too. Almost all TX samples are way better than T. At first I thought TX ran newer software optimization, but upon closer inspection both T/TX run on software 7.0.A.1.303_56_f100, BUT those initial amazing photos from ePrice (TX) ran on 7.0.A.1.234_56_f100

http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/08/30/is-the-sony-xperia-v-the-real-new-flagship/

I like V more than TX/T, but the unknown release date worldwide...

rumors say that Asia will get all 4 T/TX/V/J in October and November. we'll see what happens
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Sorry when someone here says Sony never described the S as their flagship of 2012, I have no choice but to call it nonsense. There are countless you tube videos of CES and MWC to prove it. Time and time again you hear Sony Ericsson folk describing it as exactly that.

Obviously I don't expect those of you whose contacts have not come up for upgrade to say anything meaningful here. If you were an Xperia s owner, I'm sure you too would feel quite angry with Sony over this. The paint on my S is barely dry.

Well I don't even know why I'm surprised. We are after all taking about the same company that brought us the X10 with 1.6 and kept it there for over 6 months. Compared to that this is nothing so I should just be grateful with my xperia s.

To be honest, I'm only upset about the s4 CPU. I prefer the s in most other respects especially its very masculine build and it will do until next year.
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
Going by the price Xperia S (right now its price is S$580 in Singapore) was never meant to be a flagship in longer run..

Its target was higher mid range!!!
[Xperia Z General] Surethom:
Photo Samples

Its camera photo & video low light samples that I want to see, not sure if to get the Galaxy S3 (out in 2 weeks) or wait 3 or 4 months for this here in the UK.
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
I thought that too, but according to u13x the Sony logo will be on top and not at the bottom.

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

If you really like Samsungs design and UI and if the camera performance is the only concern holding you back from getting the S3 then I see no reason to wait for the GX. The SGS2 was doing quite well in the camera department and so will the S3. Maybe the GX will do slightly a better job in low light, but don't expect "miracles". The camera "king" in the smartphone world will be the Nokia 808 :)
[Xperia Z General] nemer12:
yes, I know that, but it seems that there are problems if they put the logo on the upper part of the phone, and they have to redo alot of things.

Good luck
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
And you know this how?
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Don't get me wrong people. I'm not a spec junkie. I wouldn't have opted for the S over the one x if I were.

It's just one of my biggest gripes with the S is the jerky and even sometimes laggy ui performance and scrolling.

Something a part of me believes would have been improved with the S4. Maybe that's why I'm so angry because I'm desperately waiting for smooth performing Sony phone.

Having said that Samsung managed to produce smoothness and fluidity with their galaxy s2 which has a similar if not weaker processor than the S.

Maybe it has more to do with the very graphics intensive nature of their UI and home application.

We'll see how well the s4 handles all Sony eye candy. Hovering widgets in overview mode. Needless pressure on the hardware. Just one example.
[Xperia Z General] black97one:
Just like the SONY ERICSSON logo on the first Xperia S at CES in january ;)
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Just like u13x said, there is no hassle to change the place of the logo. It's just the casing they have to adjust. At the top already sits a LED for the notification/charging light, so there should be no problem to add a second or even use the one of the notification light. But who says that the Sony logo of the international version will light up? And if so, it would be pretty awesome if the logo could act like a notification light.
[Xperia Z General] richteralan:
The top part is reserved for carrier branding...;)
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Isn't the Exynos 4210 used in the SGS2 one of the strongest CPUs? :confused:

Wait for the official ISC update. I believe with Android 4 enabling HW acceleration the smoothness of the UI will get better :)

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

There is enough space at the top for both, the Sony logo and the carrier branding, just like Nokia did it with the At&t Lumia 900.

@xperiax10.awesome

That roadmap is quite accurate even the prices were, at least in Germany:

Xperia S: 459€

Xperia P: 370€

Xperia U: 240€
[Xperia Z General] DooMLoRD:
thanks for posting this again!

since this was leaked from India (with Indian pricing), i can confirm that Sony have stuck to the release schedule and the pricing...

Xperia S was indeed released in March and it cost < 30,000 INR after 2 weeks

Kumquat (Xperia U) is now available in India and is indeed priced at 16,500 INR

and my sources in local Sony Center tell me that Xperia P (Nypon) and Xperia Sola (pepper) will be released in India in 1-2 weeks...

so its VERY much possible that we will see Hayabusa getting released in July in India... that means it might be internationally available may be end of June, early July...
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
Lets hope ICS improves things. I'm doubtful though but I hope to be surprised. Right now they still just surprise me in only the wrong ways.
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Well, then you can relax and enjoy your XS. The S4 won't fix that "jerkiness", it is not due to the lack of raw CPU power.

It is the same story again and again: at first everyone raves about "butter smooth", then some weeks later complains about "jerkiness" and "lag". The GX will be no different.

The real problem is task scheduling strategy which is nothing the S4 can change.
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
So it begs the question, how to other manufacturers manage it. Samsung do it extremely well. Buttery smooth is the their biggest selling point.

It's either better hardware or software implementation. There must be a reason.
[Xperia Z General] huntedsoul12:
Oh well!! Samsung have started rolling out JB officially but as for Sony, we dont even know what phone and when we can expect it :(

Hope Sony will announce it soon ://

[Xperia Z General] LUCA LUCA:
is the photo sensor on the xperia V the same as the xperia T, if not which one would be the better one?
[Xperia Z General] hei133:
I too am interested which phones do get it eventually. But still okay with ics now, just hope whatever extra time taken means any jellybean update will be a reasonably stable and good one. Not want to be beta tester on a daily phone.
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
AFAIK, TX/T/V/J comes with ICS, but will get JB unless sony changes mind in the future.
[Xperia Z General] miki_69:
Wasn't there a rumor V will come with JB out-of -the box in Nov? If true, then this should be our timeframe for JB on T/TX

Cheers,

Miki
[Xperia Z General] Maximus999:
I think it is a day zero patch rather than shipping with JB. The phone is already in production, I'm sure that the software master will be changed eventually, but right now the pre-loaded software will have to be ICS, waiting for JB will delay the phone until January.

[Xperia Z General] LitoNi:
i thought i was the only one thinking that lol.

If Sony were to make a 41MP camera phone it will totally own the pureview :l
[Xperia Z General] LegibleEel:
I noticed the Nokia processes colder colours compared to the XT. Also the XT had more detail in the macro shots. Though the guy taking the shots overall took better pictures on the Nokia.
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
I swear if Sony were to do something bat**** insane like put the 1" sensor and some quality optics from their RX100 camera into a phone, I'd kerplode with excitement!

Considering we're on the verge of seeing Sony designed phones and that Sony is working to get their various departments to work better with one another and share more tech, I don't see it being outside of the realm of possibility that we'll eventually see a phone with Cybershot-level picture quality. Maybe not on the level of the RX100, but something like a T series camera sensor with optics would be absolutely amazing, especially since they're not much thicker than modern cell phones anyways.
[Xperia Z General] miki_69:
Don't forget 808 used "vivid" mode. Strange, I know, but since N8 Nokia turned to "natural look" colors/algorithm while in reality this means pale colors. I also use vivid as default mode on N8.

The comparison was fair, I have to say, 808 wins but Xperia T has nothing to be ashamed of.

Cheers,

Miki
[Xperia Z General] lokenok:
808 seems to oversaturate the colors and sometimes darkens it but the xperia t brightens it , exposure on t is bad i need to set -0.3 to make it good :)
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
Totally, I have mine set to -0.3 for photos and -0.7 for video. The metering is just wrong.
[Xperia Z General] miki_69:
can you save this as a preset or you need to do it every time you fire up camera?
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
Mine remembers it
[Xperia Z General] miki_69:
then, not an issue.... but I hope Sony will correct this in next SW release.

What about camera button itself? Is it too small for comfortable use? Giving you any issues/gripes? Stiff?

Cheers,

Miki
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
I doubt it, every Xperia I've used has always seemed to over expose slightly, but this is the first I've noticed to remember your exposure settings, so I'm quite happy to keep it like that.

Camera key is really nice actually, decent size and good positive feel to the stages of click.

[Xperia Z General] darth5zaft:
I don't buy it.

The rumours only evidence is the suppose NNT docomo leak. However the gnex2 has q micro sdcard. There's no way Google will want that. Their policies so far is to keep local storage as low as possible to make user relied on its cloud offering.

Secondly, SE has turn down 2 chances to build a nexus because of disagreement with google. The only thing that get my hope high is sony need an early access to the next android code (like they have with 2011 devices) and google need sony patern protection for their next nexus.

[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
No wonder, but not because of storage size or SD card support.

Sure, conspiracy theories are quite entertaining, but the real reason is: Nexus Phone devices as they are now are simply not ment to be sold in large quantities.

In fact they would be killed the very moment they get popular. Because this would be against interests of people responsible for hardware design, manufacture, marketing and distribution (Samsung, HTC). They have exactly zero interest in cannibalizing sales of their own devices.

Nexus7 is a bit different animal as Asus has no own tablet in this market segment. 10" nexus would be a very different story.

To lauch a true mass market device Google would need to drop HTC, Samsung and other android market players.

In other words, it will either be manufactured by Motorola or by some "noname" contractor like Foxconn. But I hope this won't happen anytime soon, as Samsung, HTC and other would take it as war declaration.
