Be safe and just buy the V.

I remembered when I was still rocking the x10, people say mobile bravia and xloud is a software feature. But still it is not working fully on the x10 compared to the arc
[Xperia Z General] charlatan01:
I have been looking into the Xperia, and it would be my first Sony handset, but I don't think that it has 'many more hardware features'. Main differences I spotted between the T and V are that the T is going to be pentaband, and that the V will be the first xperia with sensor on lens display (thus making the phone slimmer potentially). I would hazard a guess that the screen is what makes the V more expensive.
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
It's not even working fully on the Xperia S now!!

The Xperia V looks good, but lacks the camera button and has a smaller battery than the T. We're getting 4G by Christmas in the UK (at last) and the V would work, but I'm definitely going to wait until the new kit launched at CES - and hopefully buy a new 'flagship' then, which will also be LTE and really take us forward a bit.

If it comes out around Feb/March, it will have given EE some time to roll out 4G a bit further!

If the Xperia T is coming the first week of November than Sony got the short end of the stick from AT&T once again. The Lumina 920 and the Galaxy Note II will be available on October 21st for sure. the LG Optimus G will be announced on the 19th of this month and might be available before November 6th.

What is Sony thinking? :eek:
[Xperia Z General] crazeazn:
I swore i was looking at the whitepapers a few weeks back for the T and it had LTE support for the U.S. namely it had an at&t logo. this week i go back and both are gone :( There are WAY too many LTE bands and its making life difficult for those who want unlocked phones + travel.

If the Xperia V lacks a hardware camera button how are you supposed to take underwater pictures? I am asking because i know as an Acro S owner that you can't use the touch screen underwater and the only possible way to take underwater shots is to activate the camera before the dive then use the hardware button while under the surface.
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
I guess it has wet finger tracking like the Go?
[Xperia Z General] osharaf:
Acro S has wet finger tracking as well and that's exactly why you can't use the touch screen underwater, every drop of water registers a touch so imagine complete immersion, the phone screen underwater behaves as if someone is touching every corner at the same time so it becomes impossible to use.
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
The Go does work under water though, I've seen videos demoing that.
[Xperia Z General] osharaf:
I am sorry but it does not, in fact i was just reading a review on the xperia go when i went looking again after reading your post and it warned that in case you want to shoot a video underwater you will have to hit record before diving, both the go and the acro use the same technology.

Perhaps you got confused and you saw the screen working while completely wet however i am talking about complete and total submersion underwater not about usage under rain or the shower.
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
Oh yeah, you're right, sorry!

I've seen it working wet, bit not submerged. Just looked on YouTube and conformed. Well that's a shame, it would be cool to photo underwater.
[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
It is not like the Xperia V was ever designed to be used under water (IP55/57).

Heavy rain, occasional short drop into the puddle - yes, sure. But not much more, especially after the device is used for a while.
[Xperia Z General] osharaf:
Which is possible with the Acro thanks to the hardware camera button but i really don't get how it will be possible with the V if it lacks that button.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

Taking photos underwater is exactly like the water resistance feature itself, you won't find it important until you have it, for me i won't be able to buy any none water resistant phones anymore and i also won't be able to buy a phone that can't take underwater photos.

To give you an idea here is my Acro in action:

From what I've heard Microsoft is having problems getting WP8 finished (hence why Samsung didn't show working models at IFA and Nokia wasn't allowed to let anyone play around too much with the Lumia models - not even at the EE 4G launch the week after), so most new WP8 handsets won't ship on time it seems, including the 920.

The Galaxy Note 2 should be okay, and well - LG - does anyone really care? No matter how good the hardware, they look awful and they make Motorola look good for post-sales support.

Clearly the iPhone 5 is the real threat to everything, as despite being a 'meh' update it's going to sell in huge quantities and it will beat all of the other handsets to market.

[Xperia Z General] Stedus:
I have to admit that the Iphone 5 is actually very good, its not just a mere update, there are rumor that the A6 chip is actually dual core ARM A15 chips.

And the case is ridiculously thin with aluminum and sapphire glass, it feel premium when you hold it in your hand for sure :X

But in the end my choice is either the Lumia 920 or Xperia T/V :D
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
More sites now saying the iPhone 5 isn't A15 but plenty of people think it is and by the time they find out for sure, Apple will have sold millions!

Not that the typical fanboy will care. I mean they're now happy to say 4 inches is the ideal screen size after years of saying 3.5in was the ideal size and was all anyone needed!!
[Xperia Z General] tel033:
And I heard that it is quadcore but I thinks thats a rumor, and in case it is a A15 is that better than snapdragon s4 in V/T? Or better than exynos?

I read also that aluminum doesn't take impacts hence the glass will brake easily despite it sapphire cause thats against scratches

Yes but luckily Sony is getting better and better now they are recognized between top android manufacturers with Samsung and htc of course
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
The S4 in the T/V is A15 based.

I wished xperia v has a camera button, i liked Sony's camera quick launch feature. The lower storage is still okay, but why removed the camera button... sigh... I hope Sony is not going further in this direction in 2013 models. I don't want a iphone wannabe like sammy...
[Xperia Z General] SEFanX10i:
V doesn't have camera button because its water resistant. They would have to seal the camera button completely, so they decided to leave it out.

This was stated by a Sony employee in an IFA interview.

[Xperia Z General] georgesmh:
does the xperia V even have the wet tracking technology?? it isn't mentioned in the white paper..
[Xperia Z General] osharaf:
Well that's nonsense, as i said i have a Camera button on my Acro S and it works just fine, no camera button = no underwater photography = deal breaker.
[Xperia Z General] georgesmh:
hey i ordered a new xperia acro S and i should get it next week.. i need your feedback.. is it a really good device (battery, speaker, lag-free, etc)?? also, the autofocus problems on the xperia S are present on the acro s as well? thanks!! :)
[Xperia Z General] Zedd.:
In all honesty, that is an ugly design and makes the SIII look well designed. It would not conform to the shape of the hand and would be uncomfortable to handle. Plus, the weight is unevenly distributed making it top heavy and more prone to accidental drops.

It actually looks like a door wedge. :D
[Xperia Z General] osharaf:
I don't know what's the problem with autofocus so i guess that's a no, overall it's a great device however regarding the lag i guess that depends on your usage and your maintenance of the device but in general it's pretty fast the only thing that lags is the stock dialer like all Xperias, replace it with it with ex dialer.

I am the last person to ask about batteries since i am an insane user as i could spend an entire charge without turning off the screen so again it depends on your usage but for me it does about 6 hours heavy use and a day normal use.

Overall i love this phone, it looks much better in reality than the pictures and it feels really good to handle it. The screen is simply the best with the highest ppi in the market it makes iphone and gs3 looks like crap, the camera is really good and the speakers are loud and does not sound cheap however as they are placed in the back they could get muffled if they are placed on a soft surface.

[Xperia Z General] draugaz:
Well, there is a certain difference between your intents and what the device was designed for :) That's why it does not have any controls to operate it under water.

It is like bmw x5. It looks like offroader, advertised as one, you can actually drive over some grass, but you won't get very far if you actually take it to the real offroad. Because it was not designed for it. And bmw won't honor warranty if you break something :)

I looked at Sony's global websites in different languages and it looks like T and TX are labelled as "new", not "coming soon" in Asia. V and J are the only handsets labelled with "coming soon" in Asia. guess they already have both now. at least for pre-order?

As far as I'm aware the Sony changes are fairly light compared to others. It's always seemed like that anyway. It seems to stick fairly closely to Android, and things like the launcher are tiny, couple of hundred KB.

Not bad at all. Quadrant score is lower, but the TX is much higher, so I'm guessing this is down to software. Same with browser results. Nice to know we have a Sony flagship with genuinely powerful hardware for a change!

not sure why if TX and T have such different scores if they have the same hardware with some minor differences such as battery swap options.

I'm assuming it's software differences, but I'm not sure what would cause such a large change. It might be the TX is on a newer build.

No guys its down to the fact that Quadrant is a VERY erratic benchmark. It needs to be run quite a few times to get the accurate results. I get results varying from 2600-3500 on my Xperia S.

http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-class10-with-adapter/?capacity=64GB

Thanks!
[Xperia Z General] sidneylopsides:
Ok a quick rundown. I got the T last night, battery was pretty low out of the box.

Installed a few benchmarks and stuff, I'll post more results. One thing I noticed is Speedtest.net came back with 17Mbps over HSDPA, which is brilliant!

It's extremely smooth, the touch response is better than the S, much better. Dragging the edit tag on text is more accurate and has a magnifier.

Everything is super fast, I've had nothing lag at all.

Small apps look actually very useful to have.

Screen has only been low brightness so far as it's been night time, so I'll check that today.

I don't think there are any plans for a QWERTY device, they never actually sell much, I loved my X1 and pro, but they have such small sales there's probably no point any more.

The S doesn't lag really, I always found it fast enough. The T is just faster, smoother.
[Xperia Z General] GTBlackIce:
64gb limit...doesn't that mean it can't go more than 64gb? Just like to clarify.

Odd coz the packaging I saw on it states it supports Android.

Bought the 32gb ver. & it's working good on my X10. :)
[Xperia Z General] supercoolman:
the package of the card says Android ready, so I guess yes? unless SanDisk is lying out loud on the package.
[Xperia Z General] GTBlackIce:
Yes, it does state 'Ideal for Android smartphones & tablets' - even with logo on. ;)

Reason for me to clarify was coz in TX's white paper it only stated 'microSD™ card, up to 32 GB' - no mentioning of 64GB support. Oh well, let's see if anyone tries it next time once the phone's out... :fingers-crossed:
