Sony Xperia T review: T-rex - read the full textBack when the driving seat was shared with Ericsson, Sony was a little short of delivering a real winner in the high-end market, the company's top-range smartphones always a notch below the Galaxy S lineup and their HTC counterparts...

Really disappointed to read that Xperia T also has a poor viewing angle screen :(

Very poor video 1080p perfomance.

The price should come down soon, and it's also important to remember that benchmarks are ARTIFICIAL and that a heavyweight dual core will be superior for mos real-world usage than quad middleweight cores. Applications and the OS are just not optimised well for 4 cores, and then there are things like memory and storage bandwidth that can cause bottlenecks.

However, one thing that really grates me is things like the loudspeaker volume. Really, there is no excuse to get the basics like this wrong.

No lanyard eyelet at the bottom? Too bad, I think all other Xperias have one. Why did they have to be like iG5S3 stuff in this department...

Looks like a good phone with a few short comings...

However a 4.55" is just too small.

Galaxy NOTE 2 is the beast! :-)

It has a DIGITAL image stabilization (takes two pictures and combines them).
The Nokia lumia 920 has a OPTICAL image stabilization(the real thing, what DSLR cameras have).

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,

The reason why the Xperia phones didn't produce much picture quality during Quick Launch or low light situation it is because there are limited options whenever you are taking pictures. I just wish that the next update for all Xperias is to allow full modification settings on the Camera function this will improve alot. I got my XS and we need an update more function as well.

Battery capacity < 2000 mAh and not accessable in any way which means its a no go for me and many others. I've been very eager to try a Sony phone for quite a while but the mediocre battery life and non removable batteries makes me turn toward other brands. Sorry.

To people who kept going on about benchmarks and how the phone is so fast and sony is the best and people started to have a dig at the S3 for having a qaud core processor etc. Quite frankly I will never be buying a sony phone again because they keep lacking the important stuff and this review is disappointing.

IK mean audio quality sucks, it is even slightly lower in volume than the xperia sand that was rubbish imo. The speaker volume is weak.
Video quality not being all that great.
Battery life isnt that great either

This is why when people just keep banging on about benchmarks of phones and how fast they are I asked the question, is it all about how fast a phone is?

what about camera/video, call quality, audio quality/volume, speaker volume, battery life. what these don't matter because the phone is fast????

Spot-on review.

I see you tried only centre weighted metering mode, what about spot?

And why not a single low light image?

About flap cover - does it opens by itself due to poor implementation or it's holding tight?

In your comparison chart Xperia T shows quite poor results even comparing to Xperia S, while in images you posted in separate Xperia S/T review it fairs much better.
