No it doesnt. The xperia T screen changes at even the slightest tilt, AMOLED screens stay uniform until 160+ degrees which is not as important as 45 degree angles. Even IPS screens lose alot of brightness at 45 degree but amoled screens stay uniform until you tilt them ALOT. It could be argued that IPS screens have better viewing angles than amoled but no way do sony TFT screens have better angles. The picture you see of the xperia T is a brightly colored mess like a negative photo it wouldnt look anything like it actually is. Viewing angles arent about seeing "something" but its about retaining the picture "as it is" from what you see from the center view.

Hey Sammy boy,

Stop comparing Sony to Samsung.

I know you are a samsung fan.(I know you are from Nexus Forums)

But here at Xperia Forums you can't insult Xperia Phones.

We all know how our phones are so please stop complaining.

acervenky,

Can You Please Show Some Camera Samples!!! Low Light Ones Specially!!! Wanna See What 1MP Is Extra And Of Course The New Sensor!!! Comparing To Xperia S:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gambler_3:
I am a sony fan too man I had K750i(my all time favorite phone) and xperia play. I was merely responding to the post I didnt state samsung is better or something I was just stating the facts no need to get all upset about it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] realfelix:
really, go back to nexus forums.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] darth5zaft:
I had never really truly understand the viewing angle fetish.

Have u ever see the samsung adv about the baby when a lot of people try to view a picture on a small screen and finally broke it?

Share it. There's an apps for that. Almost Everyone has a phone, and almost Everyone has a tv.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gambler_3:
Trust me man it really is a big issue with tilt based games.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SEFanX10i:
^

OMG how many times do I have to tell you the T has good viewing angles ?

That's the T compared to the S. Does the T picture lose color/contrast like the S ? No !!!

So stop whining.

P.S. No Offense but you should go back to your Nexus forum. Don't complain about a device you don't own. Feel free to come back if you get a Xperia S/T in future.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] louis.b:
I thought Sony made the SCLD2 for the HOX? Why dont they use the same screen? The screen on the HOX is the best screen ever. But it's also because of the way HTC design the glass as well. I've seen a lot of videos about the T J V and honestly Im not really impressed w the screens.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LitoNi:
umm are you sure thats the T? i dont think the xperia logo lights up, the TX does.

well it doesnt matter the T and the TX has the same stuff :l just saying. Yay for TX :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thejosetree:
I'm beginning to think my Xperia T is defective, because the screen is on par with Xperia S.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
S and T both on 100% for comparison.

Just realised the visible area on the screen without buttons on the T is almost identical to the S.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] YousifNael:
I hope Xperia S gets the new sony features that are on the T with JB update , hopefully before next year .....

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] YousifNael:
the xperia T has a snapdragon s4 processor , wich should be 19% faster than xperia S's snapdragon s3 processor

Of course it's the best - only thing is, it's not One X photo but Panasonic:) You need to change this.

I'm not sure if Xperia S image is slightly blurry due to camera shake, but the level of details resolved in Xperia T is amazing (quite a leap forward comparing to S, just check part of the building under shadow).

Cheers,

Miki
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
Whoops!

Fixing now!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gambler_3:
Just what I said!!!!!!!!!!!

Also the placement of the power button does not seem ideal for right handers. Seems like sony just cant get the power button right can they.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miki_69:
What kind of image stabilization Xperia T uses for stills? Is it related to gyroscope as in some LG models (eg if camera movement/shake is detected image won't be captured). I know this is far from OIS in 920, but still would like to know.

Cheers,

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] For_itembine:
judging by those images the 808 looks to take better looking images (more color/contrast) though the xperia t captures more detail and neutral colors (more like real life)

808 looks like its been through a filter

Will be receiving mine tomorrow in the afternoon :D

The James bond version that is. On contract with T-Mobile in the Netherlands
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] krabappel2548:
Nice :) any chance you will unlock the bootloader? I'm searching for testers for my development :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
Maybe i will. But first I'll need to know if it's SIM-free
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] krabappel2548:
ok :) if you have it and can un lock it just pm me for testing :)

I posted kernels already in development forum but I don't know if they boot and work properly.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
I can unlock my bootloader, but i think I'm gonna wait a few days first. Wanna tryout this phone first
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] krabappel2548:
Sure no problem :) I have no time anyway before next week :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] somebloke:
Mine's here now but not 100% I'll keep it, it's a fair bit bigger than my Silver Arc & frankly feels clunkier next to it, if I keep it I'll unlock the bootloader though. Need to spend a few hours playing with it to decide :) If I hadn't damaged my Arc screen I'd be regretting it a little I think.

If only you could get the TX in the UK as it's a massive step backwards for me having a fixed battery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
Got my Xperia T here in the UK, feels loads better than my Arc, even though I was running Arconium ICS and KTG Kernel.

It is bigger in the hand, I may still opt for the Xperia V in December.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Haldi4803:
Don't forget to set Governor to performance! Or else you'll lose to much power!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DennisDD78:
Congratulations for all Xperia T users! :)

Could you, please, upload some photos ?

And the main two things i`m interesting:

1. Quality of the screen.

2. Speaker loud when plaiyng music.

Waiting for your feedback! :) Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] -SlenderMan-:
Which is better? T or V? They both have the sane processor but V has better screen pixels and its waterproof. Which should i piick??

Sent from your backyard...

Slender watches what you do...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lokenok:
IF u can Wait V if not than T
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
Screen is very good, reminds me of the One X, apart from the viewing angles. Though, I don't generally look at my phone at an angle...

Speaker quality is great, good bass and midrange, just not very loud.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] realfelix:
How fast is this device compared to the S?

Loading apps etc, do they stay in memory or do they get killed right after a couple of minutes?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
Haven't noticed a single homescreen redraw since Thursday. Have been playing a lot though and rebooted several times due to superuser bug (e.g. Rebooting when you have super user rights for too long).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] realfelix:
Thanks for the answer but that's not quite that what I asked :P
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
They seem to stay a while, the task switcher is very fast, one of the best things about the phone in everyday use.you can flick between apps very quickly. Only larger games reload after a switch, I've noticed Chrome with around 15-20 tabs open causes a smokescreen redraw when leaving it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] realfelix:
So its way faster than the s?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
Certainly feels a lot snappier than my S did.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] heahmad:
does it worth changing galaxy s2 with xperia T?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] realfelix:
Its way more powerful.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Dekudan:
I'm looking to upgrade from a very ****ty Optimus 2X. Is it worth it? I've looked at reviews and the downsides I can live with.

Only thing I wonder about is support But the phone seems burst open already. CWM, CM10. Everything. Even CodeworkX is buying one of these things. So...basically

If I buy this thing, will I as a lover of hacks regret anything?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] welshkid:
I've just ordered mine, can't see any problem going for it, I prefer the hardware of the T, over the s3 and htc one x, plus with all of the problems going on with Exonys I can imagine Sony support will continue to grow. Especially with codeworkX moving over to the T as you mentioned.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
After having the phone a little longer, I can say I'm very pleased with it.

Multitasking via the app switch button is really fast, rarely is there any waiting for an app to reload, unless it's a game.

It zips around without any lag all the time, I've yet to miss a moment I need something NOW. Camera is better than I first thought, you just have to make sure the lens is dust free! The editor is great for tweaking contrast etc if it isn't quite how you wanted it.

Battery is unpredictable so far. Sometimes it seems to drop incredibly quickly, yet other times it seems to go forever. Screen brightness isn't the issue, though it does go down faster when set brighter.

It seems that some tasks keep the phone awake, but not often, and I'm not sure what. Line messenger is a battery hog, and the Walkman seems to be a bit too.

On the music side, it sounds good, and it's the first Xperia I've used that has never stuttered or skipped playing music. The S did that whenever the network changed between types, or lost reception completely.

Build feels superb, totally solid, good feel and grip. Metal buttons feel good, I bought a case and now don't feel I need it, it's tough enough anyway.

Balances nicely in the hand, good to hold. Soft buttons on the screen are another world compared to the S!

Screen wise, colours are punchy, contrast is good with the black softkey area fading into the frame of the screen, the auto brightness seems to get too bright/dim for my taste. Viewing angles aren't as good as some, but I don't often use my phone at an angle so I have no reason to worry about that.

Vibration motor is mote powerful, does make typing a bit noisier than I'm used to. Keyboard is still great, but the new magnifier for text editing is awesome, I've seen it before, might be stock android.

The speaker quality is great, very full sound, not tinny at all. Just not very loud. The new notification sounds are all pretty good too!

Album doesn't do full screen pictures, but does with video, annoying.

Can get a bit warm, I was expecting it to run cooler.

Small apps are very useful, especially the calculator. One press to access them is a great idea, as is location aware WiFi.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miki_69:
Thanks sidneylopsides, that sounds quite possitive :)

Can you post some screenshots? Was it like this in Xperia S as well?

One question - is it possible to create/have albums in gallery? You know like UK 2011, Spain 2012.....

Cheers,

Miki
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
Nope, as the S doesn't have on screen soft keys, I'll post a screenshot.

I've not seen a way to do that, it organises by date or folder.

Edit:

See the dots on the right? Those are the back, home and app keys if you press.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miki_69:
I see what you mean, thanks. It's really annoying, especially as it doesn't occur in video mode (just checked some videos and after second or two, it would automatically go into full screen).

But new folders/albums you cannot create? That's a real pity, as I have numerous folders in my N8 gallery, helps me keep things organized... Is this an iCS restriction, or Sony's.....

Cheers,

Miki
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
To be honest, I've not noticed folder creation in any Android gallery. Then again, I've never really looked. You can always use a 3rd party App for management like that.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LadFromWales85:
AOSP Gallery shows folders but does not have an option to create. Once in the folder, you can group by location, time, people, and tags.

Can Sony Album do anything similarly?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
Once in a folder it is just organised by time and date.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] loonsy:
The new Note 2 has folder creation in gallery. At least that is the only phone I know that has it. Although that is Samsung's addition so ya. The option doesn't exist stock.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rycexboi:
wooo the phone finally came, im wondering do i suppose to put the screen protector that came with it or its fine?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LadFromWales85:
There is already a screen protector on the screen installed from the factory.

I'm not sure what the one in the box is for? a protector to protect the protector?! hah
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Felimenta97:
Or a replacement in case the already applied one get too much scratches.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] samitro:
Are you saying that the camera is better than the one on Sam GS3? Reviews on gsmarena and phonearena did'nt claim so. I wish you are right, I'm still not sure which of the 2 I should get. Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] poplectic:
Yeah I've read the reviews but I'm finding the Xperias shots are better. When uploaded and viewed together on computer with shots in similar conditions on s3 the Xperias are noticeably better. Gonna keep comparing for a few days.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] realfelix:
They only compare the shots viewed on the phone itself, the galaxy S3 has a higher contrast level than the T, no wonder they look better.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] z28tovette:
Damn,I want one really bad.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] charlatan01:
Got mine yesterday from Clove on an order placed last week. My random thoughts (coming from an HTC Amaze);

- Wow the phone is light. Compared to the Amaze it's like a feather, but it's easier to hold, at least partially due to the curve.

- Screen is brilliant IMHO. They do have the sensor for brightness set a little lower than I am accustomed to. I usually feel like I want to bump it up like 5% in almost any lighting condition except full sunlight. Brightness is fine outdoors, and better than the Amaze.

- I love the button placement, in the fact that I don't have to reach to the top to push one. Size might be a little on the small side, but it's easy to get used to.

- Haven't taken many pics yet, so can't comment on the camera.

- The BT radio is quite good, distance on business calls with my BlueAnt reached much further than the Amaze, and about average distance for other phone's I've had. No crackling 10 ft from the phone like the Amaze.

- Reception seems on par, maybe a bit better than the Amaze for the T-Mobile network in my house and on the drive to work.

- I put this phone to GOOD use today, after a single full charge overnight. I forgot to let it drain and connected it to charge for a few minutes on two occasions, and it's currently at 26%. Heavy email, screen on almost all day because I can't seem to put it down, couple of half hour to 45 minute phone calls, music play for 30 minutes etc...

- Performance wise, it's definitely faster than the amaze. I like the Sony ROM experience thus far as well, tho I've changed launchers to something a little more flexible.

- Still installing my apps etc, but it's snappy for sure. The mem capacity is fine for me, added a 32GB mSD and have plenty of space. Not a big deal for me to swap music and movies. Haven't watched any flix yet.

- Music sounds good, I like the Walkman app, but I haven't listened to any through headphones yet... just the car.

- Notification light works, is subtle but visible, and CAN CHANGE COLORS! This really annoyed me about the Amaze, so I feel spoiled now. Haven't tried the spectrum of colors, but the three I've set all work.

- Dirty phones / screens annoy me, and I can see already that the little seam between glass and bezel is going to be a project of mine. I carry in pocket, and this beauty shows every microfiber.

That's it for now. Love the phone, and personally, I think it's nice that we've got some good devs on the device. I really tried to hang in there with the Amaze, and the devs there are troopers, but it was so caustic at times... I've already seen a group hug here in the dev section about the KANG project, and that just gives me warm feelings of joy.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] charlatan01:
Couple of additional notes;

- I did some un-scientific audio testing last eve. Playback is fine, but I noticed some distortion, and I was trying to figure out if it was the recording or something else. One of two things is going on;

1) The phone just doesn't have enough umph to drive my Sennheiser HD525's,

or

2) My Sennheiser's are borked (or the adapter from 3.5 to whatever is hosed).

I tested with the earbuds the phone came with, and the audio sounded much better. Also tested with some other earbuds I have and it sounded better there as well. Overall, I was looking for some extra 'volume' when I have the phone connected to the stereo in the car, and software pre-amps just distort when you bump it above 0.

- Navigation through Google is good. Sat found my position very quickly compared to the Amaze, and it stayed with me the whole way. I am really tempted to try another NAV tool, as I find Google Nav to be kind of 'meh'.

- I MUST get a case to protect the phone. As OCD as I am about cleanliness and screens, I really don't want to drop test this thing on accident. It's too pretty to mess up.

I got mine from Carphone warehouse today. Love it so far, although the sim card keeps ejecting. Maybe a bad cut from sim to microsim, but also may need replacing :(

Ordered a 64Gb card today. Can't be bothered with Google Music anymore.

Took ages to get it how I like it too. :(

Recently I have had and sold: S3, One X, G Nexus.

I like this the best - although the One X+ is interesting. I just couldn't wait though.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
I've had one returned cos the SIM kept popping out, but the guy didn't bring his SIM with him to test it, when I tried another it was fine.

Might be worth checking the plastic tab with the imei is pushed fully in too.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] trick202:
I've tried my wife's sim in there too - straight out of her iPhone, not cut, original microsim.

Still pops out on it's own after a few seconds. Really annoyed. Just done a backup with the bundled backup/restore on the T. Hopefully I'll be able to copy it to dropbox and not have to spend another hour setting up a new handset.
