As did SoftbankSucks (aka JapanMobileTech) a week ago when the rumours were flying around 2ch

http://www.japanmobiletech.com/2012/08/is-ntt-docomo-really-releasing-3-nexus.html

I think there's always a chance for truth although some tech journalists don't believe that Sony and Nexus are a good fit for each other

and also you can never really trust anything that comes out of 2ch (or 4chan for that matter)

Xperia Blog said (i think on Google plus?) they would be back to full strength soon after a short summer vacation. So, they'll be back today or tomorrow well in time for the next big event.

The big one I have, if there is no GX in the US, why did they choose not to release it here. Also, assuming its announced, same question for the J. I personally do not need a huge phone so am at least interested in the J.

[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Because they are next to non-existant in the USA market?
[Xperia Z General] Maximus999:
Sony have an extensive IP portfolio. No one goes up against Sony and wins. MS/Apple/Sony and now Google are four companies which are bulletproof. If one were to sue the other it would be mutually assured destruction.

Also, Sony's designs are original, unlike Samsung's which were iPhone rip-offs for the most part.

OT, but apparently a Sony VAIO slider tablet has leaked. Looks damn nice! It will be hard to decide between this and the Xperia tablet.

man, those Xperia tablet and VAIO tablet look really nice

its really hard to choose one for another T_T

so.....

just buy BOTH of them :X

Edit: I noticed this tablet is running Window 8 not Window RT

If you take a closer look at the bottom left corner, you can see a desktop button :X

SO we can play both Windows games and the new "Modern" style games in this device :)) (Im still preferring the "Metro" style rather than "Modern" style, it sound weird =.=)

I imagine that since the vaio is a full pledge pc. We should be able to dual boot with android or run it as a virtual machine or just use bluestack to run android apps.

Depending on what kind of phones Sony announces during IFA and how soon they plan on releasing them, I will either wait and buy their phones or get me one of those sexy looking powerhouses known as the SGS3! :fingers-crossed:

I would be shocked it they come any time sooner than OCT (not that I wouldn't want to :) )

I really want a CLEAR FLAGSHIP device from Sony tomorrow, here in Singapore now Xperia S selling for SGD 500.

Price of Xperia ION is SGD 600 !!

Waiting for Xperia TX
[Xperia Z General] sirbrian:
I already given up waiting and bought the Xperia Acro S liao...now my biggest problem is learning how to rrot the phone...

With the release of nes of the new and upcoming LG Optimus G with quad S4 and 320 chip and True HD IPS, I think I will wiat till next year for Sony to release a proper flagship and I believe the Mint/Hayabusa will be very fast be in mid-tier phone once LG/Samsung/even Moto starts using the quad core S4.

Otherwise if a new Xperia Nexus will be launched (and I don't mean the Xperia S being selected by Google...etc) I may consider.

Till then, I consider my new water and dust resistant Acro S as my flagship as clearly no other flagship model like the SGS3 and HTC One X can survive in water...
[Xperia Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
You could have waited for atleast ONE more day !!!

sent from the BEaST Galaxy S3
[Xperia Z General] hei133:
I too made the same decision and just got the Acro S instead.

Problem is, even when wait x days for IFA announcement, THEN still need to wait x months for release = end 2013/2014 already...

I dont think so, new sets by september..

[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
Assuming we're seeing a 'James Bond' phone, I'd hope the get it out by the end of October, it would loose some momentum after that.

It would tie in nicely as one of the first LTE phones in the UK too.

Huh?!

If that is the case, 29th event will be a flop show for Sony.

[Xperia Z General] batman_112:
Yeah I agree. I think the SGS3 is looking more and more like a reality for me.
[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
LG already has better offer, why don't you just wait after next week

and then decide which phone you want to buy cuz the new Lumia phones are very promising too :D
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
It will be either way, but frankly I don't think it matters.

I don't expect we will see anything more "advanced" than a yet another smartphone based on S4, i.e. international version of Xperia GX with a different outer shell as seen in leaks. Which is OK, but nothing to set the world on fire even if available immediately after announcement. And it has quite a potential to dissapoint, especially if it will come with 4.6" display and meager ~1800mAh battery (I would bet on this).

As for Apple and Microsoft, those are disjunct universes. I doubt there are many people outside of the USA seriously pondering between iphone and [some other phone].

If you like Apple and can afford it (starting at 650Eur/800$ unsubsidized) then you will buy Apple. If you already own an Iphone and are happy with it, you will buy another iphone. No matter what Sony, Samsung or someone else has to offer.

Because you are already stuck in their "ecosystem", developed some reflexes, invested into apps, use apple cloud, own an ipad and so on. If you don't want apple for some reason, then iphone5 andthe hype around it does not matter.

The same goes to the Microsoft, just from the opposite direction. Yes, they will start another huge marketing campaign, like they did with WP7.x. But for the casual shopper, does it look any different from WP7.x? The same appearance. The same tiles. The same phone designs as usual. What's the difference? Why should it suddenly became desirable if it wasn't before?

Of course, the USA is a bit different kettle of fish, as the phones as such are artificially devalued and all cost pretty much the same (100$ or 200$ - no big difference) so you are much more likely to experiment, just acting on impulse. But IFA does not look like a USA centric event.

A big question regarding LG: will it be any better supported than LG2X? Which also was the first phone with dualcore Tegra2. Rushed to the market half baked and seems like it remains in this state even now.

well on the white paper for the T it does say it has a S3 (8260).

and the link you just provided it states that the TX comes with "the LATEST chipset" so that might be the s4.

Not according to GSM Arena..

The Xperia T measures 129.4 x 67.3 x 9.35 mm and weighs 139g. The phone features quad-band 2G and penta-band 3G connectivity. It comes with 32GB of built-in storage, which you can expand through the microSD card slot.

The Sony Xperia TX also joins the party - it's practically identical to the Xperia T, except for its size. The Xperia TX measures 131 x 68.6 x 8.6 mm and weighs 127g.

The Sony Xperia V is LTE enabled, but also has quad-band 2G and quad-band 3G connectivity. It comes with the highest level of water resistance in smartphones.

It differs from its T and TX siblings in a couple of key areas. The Xperia V packs a 4.3" 720p screen and 13MP camera. The chipset is a Qualcomm S4 MSM8960 - dual-core Krait at 1.5GHz, Adreno 225 GPU and 1GB of RAM. The built-in storage is 8GB, but there's also a microSD card slot.

Im not sure how the 'V' isnt the flagship? is the processor that much slower? (if only a little surely the water resistance trumps it?)

Whitepaper for T says 8260-A.
[Xperia Z General] wing_zero8556:
Yeah I feel that the V is more like the flagship.

Find it weird how the T has the S4 but TX has S3 (according to whitepaper anyway). Besides the slight size differences and removable battery its exactly the same.. don't see the point of it tbh. I think I would much rather buy the V
[Xperia Z General] zymo:
Nope. White paper says this:

1.5 GHz Qualcomm Krait MSM8260-A Dual Core

It's the A version of 8260 which is the S4 Krait without LTE radio.

The Xperia V has also newer bluetooth, BT4.0. But sadly it has only a VGA front-camera.

WTF?! They announce the Xperia V in Berlin, but Sony Mobile Germany haven't listed it online. Only Xperia T and J are listed as coming soon. Any news about regional availability of the V?
[Xperia Z General] chrisp7:
Ok so..

'T' doesnt have 4G compatibility.

'TX' does (but same battery life so will be horrible connected to 4G).

'V' has 4G connectivity, the smaller screen (so is the better bet for 4G)?? (ALSO waterproof - hello James Bond, surely better than the T!?)

I dont think the V looks as nice as the other two but it makes most sense? (If Im reading the specs correctly)
[Xperia Z General] hydenobuyuki:
Wow... I'm glad I went with the Xperia GX...

The GX is 100% definitely the S4 MSM8960... it would be surprising and unfortunate if the TX doesn't have the same one.

Is the TX not LTE or something?!

After seeing the above shots of the Xperia T, I'm glad it looks a lot better than a thought it would but definitely prefer the design of the TX/GX.

The Xperia V with it's smaller size, seems like a good addition to the line-up... not that we'll ever see it in Japan (at least on docomo who carries the GX and SX)

In the past month, some people have speculated that a lot of devices were pushed back and shipped in relatively low numbers because of S4 shortages. Sony Mobile may not have the (market) strength at this stage in the game to secure as many S4 so they planned out a mix of S3 and S4 devices?

But, that's just speculation.

Boring designs tbqh. S >>>>>>>>>
[Xperia Z General] MMoodyB:
I was going to go for the Xperia T as an upgrade from my Sensation, but I'm not so sure now.

A fixed 1850mAh battery isn't really ideal when the current top of the range phones from most competitors come with 2100+mAh.

Will need to see a few reviews first I think.

Sony isn't doing it really right this year. Some of them looks nice, but not a flagship. Something one had, the other one no.
