Sony Xperia T: H2 flagship with 4.6-inch HD display and 13MP camera



Sony Mobile’s H2 flagship is clearly the Sony Xperia T (LT30p). Most of the marketing spend will be focused on this model and will feature in the upcoming James Bond film, Skyfall. The Xperia T will come with a 4.55-inch (720 x 1280) high resolution display and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8260A chipset with 1.5GHz dual-core processor and Adreno 225 GPU. Note that this is not the same as the Snapdragon S3 MSM8260 chipset found in the Xperia S.

The Xperia T will come with 16GB internal memory (2.5 GB of firmware, 2 GB of phone memory and 10.8 GB for media) but will support a microSD memory card. It has a 13MP camera capable of 1080p video and front camera capable of 720p video. Other features include NFC, MHL (the HDMI adaptor will be sold separately) and a 1850mAh capacity battery. Sony will also be selling a Xperia T TV Dock to connect the handset to a television.

The Sony Xperia T has dimensions of 129.4 x 67.3 x 9.35 mm and will weigh 139 grams. Sony says that the handset will be available globally in the next few weeks. It will come in three colours (black, silver and white).

Xperia T White Paper



Sony Xperia TX: Think Xperia T with S4 Snapdragon and removable battery



Sony Mobile’s new flagship is the Xperia T (LT30p ‘Mint’), but it confirmed that in certain markets Sony will instead launch the Xperia TX (LT29i ‘Hayabusa’). This is exactly what we previously speculated given the very close proximity in terms of specifications between the two handsets.

The Xperia TX will come with a 28nm Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8260A chipset (1.5GHz dual-core with Adreno 225 GPU) found in the Xperia T.

The Xperia TX will also have a removable 1750mAh battery good for 6 hours and 40 minutes of GSM talk time. The Xperia T will have a higher capacity (1850mAh) embedded battery. In terms of size the Sony Xperia TX has dimensions of 131 x 68.6 x 8.6 mm and will weigh 127 grams. This makes it both thinner and lighter than the Xperia T which has dimensions of 129.4 x 67.3 x 9.35 mm and will weigh 139 grams.

Apart from these differences, the handset will feature the same 4.55-inch (720 x 1280) high resolution display, 16GB internal memory (2.5 GB of firmware, 2 GB of phone memory and 10.8 GB for media), microSD, micro SIM, 13MP camera, 1.3MP front camera, PlayStation Certification, NFC and MHL. The Sony Xperia TX will be available in three colours (black, pink and white) when it launches in select markets.

One design, four phone. All look like same. Especially Xperia V look like iPhone.

design like arc s..sexy

but yes look like ipong

so another sue for apple..??

hew hew

Depends whether Sony got pay license fee or royalty.

wahhhh D: another waterproof sony!!!

How come Sony doesn't use quad core?

there goes sony again, making powderful midrange phones! tempting!

The Sony Xperia T has only just been announced, but there's already unboxing video for the handset.

I'm sold!!!

Selling Galaxy S3 for this baby when it coming into Malaysia!!!

hm... last gen processor... =/

and you sold why? unless you are chasing the design and the camera (which of course take a better picture cause it is sony), i see no spec that is impressive,

oh mai so sexy

Why not? I know spec wise S3 better. But not all.

Power consumption, heat.

Don't feel there is heat whenever data is on? Luckily for me I'm prepaid user and I use WiFi.

Still need to test before I make my decision, speaker quality and so on

According to naming, I thought that is the boosted version of T?

If not mistaken... they only plan to intro quad core next year

Same as iPhone? Rectangle design?

If Apple new iPhone the new design as previous, it's a biggest fail phone in term design.

Well if they go curve body? Sony sue them back hahaha..

XPERIA T bigger and non removable battery
non-Asian country.

XPERIA TX will be Asian model, thinner slightly less juice on the battery and removable.

Come on Sony!!!!!!..Quad core please....

Both is same model.

TX meant for Asian market. TX is thinner, lighter, removable battery. But less juice on the battery compare with the T



Can anyone confirm is it a gorilla glass?

I though Xperia T & Xperia TX is different model?

Xperia T based on LT30 & Xperia TX based on LT29 (which an international version of Xperia GX in Japan)...

This post has been edited by exkaizen: Aug 30 2012, 09:09 AM

the new krait processor should match or perform better than existing proc bro

Well all is based on the curve on xperia gx.


Japan version still a bit slightly different for international model.

T and TX i prefer TX thinner and lighter, battery not big issue for me, since it's 28nm s4 better power management.

I still curious on the speaker model they use and how fast is charge.

Current S3 charge very fast

But overall all still look similar

oh mai....recently in love in acro...now this with 13MP....how am i gonna make decision on which to own...

how come the back of the fon design is a bit curve....
this is wat i dun like...>_<

And with better power efficiency and lower heat .

nope . msm8260 A is dual krait .

Hands-on video of Xperia T:

1.5k? or more?

I'm guessing 1.7-1.8k. Probably the same as Xperia S when it was first released.

should be. But interested to see V price. If less than 1.5k...

jz saw the unboxing vid... the earphones look very similar to last time sony ericsson's earphones =p

noted

but this is not msm8260 A is msm 8260
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/08/29/xperi...ovable-battery/

This is actually a lower end version of Xperia T

the link that you posted it shows xperia TX not xperia T

Yes. Sony and the xperiablog has updated.

now the question is... when will it come to msia =p

Update: Sony Mobile has now updated the white paper which seems to suggest it will come with a S4 Snapdragon MSM8260A chipset (the same as the Xperia T). The product page is still referring to it with S3 Snapdragon MSM8260 chipset though. Hopefully ,the latter is a mistake though.

do you ever read the whole thing but not only keyword ?
no i guess

its funny that how you attempt to use my source as your backup but you don even bother to read it .

This post has been edited by xerox8908: Aug 30 2012, 10:30 PM

i did read the whole thing. but by that time they haven't update the information... i also downloaded the white paper to confirm which is also updated ... coz i was so disappointing to S3 again..so is my bad..sorry...and they updated the product page as well

This post has been edited by abuuuuuu: Aug 30 2012, 10:44 PM

Can anyone tell me how is this model different from xperia acro s? The spec look like the same to me..

looks different at the very least. also, not water proof

slimmer, lighter , bigger screen , smaller battery capacity, 13 megapixels and using s4 processor

It will be S4 Dual,

Sony is not dumb, and consumer is neither too.

TX will meant for international Asian market.

Mainly different in design and more than double cpu power that surpass quad core currently on the market .

And some improvement on the camere . Maybe bravia engine 2 also .

imo sony is going to lose out again as long as they dont keep themselves updated wif technology =/ they need to release quad cores already

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Xperia_T
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(s...)#Snapdragon_S4

dun care about quad core, as long as it's dual core is fast enough. what matters to me the most is the super sexy design and it's beautiful screen coz most of the time this is what most users will be facing and experiencing when using the phone.Plus music and camera, samsung and Iphone can't come close to sony tech.And also worth mentiong "IT"S A SONY"

Myself die die also want to buy this phone, don't care what other people says, after all it's what i like not others. Been waiting for ages for this phone to arrive to Malaysia.

Saw the benchmarks at GSMArena.
Amazing!

is this jellybean out of the box?

The Sony Xperia T and Xperia TX flagships will each get their own TV Docks. The docking stations act as a MHL to HDMI adaptor and will come with a full-sized HDMI output to connect to a television. It will also have one micro-USB port to connect an accessory.

Each docking station is a perfect fit for the respective phones and has RCP to CEC translation, which allows you to use your TV remote to control the phone (as long as your TV is HDMI-CEC compatible). The dock will, of course, also charge your phone whilst you have it connected.

Ais krim for now lol..dunno when released will be on jelly or not..
Even if not out of the box, this should get it sometime next year maybe.

im a little worried abt sony's design strategy... one dock for one phone... =/
they will definitely lose out in terms of 3rd party accessories.

this phone almost certain will be my NEXT phone, replacing my ARC.
just need to know when will arrive malaysia and how much.

You all might be surprise to see these benchmark test done by GSMArena. Shame on you GS3 and Note 2

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_not...s-news-4731.php

even dual core it can beat quad core..this will make xperia T more more than 2k?

dun think it ever be in m'sia. TX is the only variant for asian, T is supposed to be reserved for european and us

what most people fails to notice is Sony is trying to optimize the programming code with their hardwares to ensure no system hangs or incompabilities. Sony might be late but they take their time make sure nothing goes wrong.that's more essential to customer than simply just rushing blindly to impress customer only later find out the coding s*cks

Specifications compared--XPERIABLOG.NET

the only different between T and TX is Battery and T just 10grams heavy.

i wonder why they hav to make it different =/ wouldnt tat make it more expensive?

hope this is true
hpe sony do not put old processor for asian market

Added on September 2, 2012, 12:15 amoh wai sony do put the same shitty old processor again for asian market
why sony why

We are not getting the T just the TX...which sucks cause the unibody design should be more fun to play with. The plus side though is the battery is removable.

Well to gain a good position in the market they need to have US and EU support,since in Japan,the variety there is tough to beat,
I would say it is okay since as long they keep producing phone like Xperia T in future,
they already release 2 flagship worth smartphone
just that they don't go all out
example : Xperia Ion
no matter how you look at it,if the specs just would be a little better
it is a smexy enough to become flagship phone

refer here as comparison
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPho...8&idPhone2=4899

2012 is a year where they attack the market once again aggressively after smartphone era boom,

guys which better..TFT or LED?

yes this is true but the processor is showing its age nowadays
the phone will have microlags

makes it kinda hard to understand wad is sony's strategy to gain market share...
if they had one, i doubt tat they are doing a good job here. XD

the only thing is their flagship phones are cheaper than other maufacturer
this is because they use outdated processors
but they will easily attract users who didnt know
because some see dual core they will buy but didnt know the dual core is from a generation before

so what's sony's next strategy if they release xperia t and v using the latest krait processor?

maybe they will be outdated again when other companies launch with newer snapdragon s4 pro/ chips based on cortex A15

but still sony will be releasing good looking devices with top notch hardware without top notch processors for asian markets
this will attract more customers still because their devices are still cheap compared to samsung/htc/lg

look at the benchmark. the processor wins all the available quadcore phones.

that post outdated edi lo... i thought it's using S3 processor coz 1st post typed the processor wrongly.. shud be 8260A.

oh..hehe

Much rather have Krait core than a quad core base on A9 architecture like my One X
Is overall more efficient

but alot of consumers nowadays only look at number of cores when buying phones. =p
i personally prefer dual core also. but i wan sony to gain more market share so they can be more competitive and come out wif even better phones

You might reconsider if you choose to purchase Galaxy S3 or HTC One X instead of Sony Xperia TX.
Latest Benchmark results show Xperia T / TX blow their competitors away. Seems impressive.

Looks like UK will be getting Xperia T and J this Wednesday (Sep 5th)~

Source: http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Android/Son...ews.asp?c=44666

wonder when malaysia will get it

Any realize the benchmark result of Xperia T is better than Galaxy S3 and One X?

Source

of course cause its using snapdragon s4 krait processors
which is one gen ahead

Impressive. Hope Quad-core Krait will also arrive on Xperia soon.

Tempted to get T or TX to replace my Arc but the temptation of Sony Quadcore...haihsssss

Yeah, and not to forget Sony's new Exmor RS sensor. I think next flagship of Quad Core will use this new sensor.

have to ignore the temptation to change the phone this year to maxxxxxxx

I'm thinking of getting the tx hehe

If not mistaken only TX will be available in Malaysia...

This T/TX consider as most cutting edge Andriod phone already
If i haven't buy One X,T/TX is damn tempting

Definitely take this phone as replacement for my arc, but only once jb is release.

apparently JB is only gonna come after the phone is released... wont be out of the box JB

need release date in Malaysia.....

i knew that, wat i mean is once the jb update is release only then i wil buy this phone

well, IMHO, the xperia T/TX is the next flagship model from sony to replace the xperia S... so, i think sony will support in terms of software update (JB very likely i think).

and in technlogy wise, it's not always the numbers that counts... single core, dual core, quad core, 1.2GHz, 1.5GHz, 1.7GHz,... new technology will incorpoate new design and features... so, in this case of the dual core S4 krait processor used, all benchmark testing already showed it outperforms the quad core phone (Galaxy S3 and One X).

waiting for S4 pro next year since my Arc still functioning well (except low memory notification )

Yeah too bad, T is for Europe market only, but hoping it will make its way to Malaysia as well, just like XPERIA Ion that was for US market initially.

yeah...

I will get the T or TX when it comes out. Unless there is news of the V coming to Malaysia.

the difference between t and tx is that tx dont support 4g but spec wise more or less the same

They are now spamming new phones like what Samsung did, except maybe in smaller amounts.

Xperia S > Xperia Ion > Xperia T (in short amount of time)
Xperia P/U > Xperia J (?)
Xperia Acro S > Xperia V

same here bro, since my arc stil performing well enough,super smooth n superfast wit icebean 4.2 project margarine (as developer claim), so waiting for S4 quad from sony.

btw iinm LG using quad s4 krait right? how is it compared to a dual core krait s4?
