Sony's Xperia T: Good Enough?

The new Sony Xperia T (also called as Xperia GX or Xperia TX in other countries) is Sony's new Android flagship that is supposed to replace its predecessor, the Sony Xperia S. It now has a 720p display of 4.6 inches, a 13 megapixel camera, a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor and runs on Android's latest 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS. The design has the familiar curve of the Xperia Arc S which makes it easier to grip and Android on-screen buttons.  The screen is attached to a glossy plastic frame in front, while the other sides still stuck to a matte finish instead of a glossy one.  Unfortunately it weighs at 139 grams compared to Samsung's Galaxy S3 at 133 grams.



The buttons (power button, volume and camera button) are relocated to the right, under the microSD and microSIM slots. HDMI is now supported along with the microUSB port.

The rear 13 megapixels camera can record 1080p video with the Exmor R Sensor of Sony bundled together with a LED Flash and mono speaker, while the front-facing 1.3 megapixels camera for 720p capturing.

The battery can handle up to 6 hours of continuous video playback with its 4.6 inch screen that can support a 1280x720 pixel resolution.

The new Xperia T has its advantages over the Xperia S but still seems lacking which makes the Xperia T not too advisable to buy compared to the recently discounted Xperia S and now upgradeable Android OS (From the current 2.0 OS to the latest 4.0 ICS).
