What exactly is the difference between the Xperia T and TX, besides the fact that the TX has a smaller battery?
Beside the design, the difference is that they are aimed for different markets (TX is for the Asian market if I remember correctly).

Ricky D  thanks a lot for that! 
Arne Anka, ah yes, i remember that being mentioned before to, the TX does sound like the better one, seems Sony paid more attention to detail when making it.

I've had enough of my Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I'm going to either get the Xperia T or the Samsung Galaxy S3 but not sure which one to get.
In my opinion the downsides to the S3 are:-
-Plasticky
-Touchwiz looks a bit cartoony
-No camera button.
-Greens are a bit off on the colours on pictures.
But it does have the dual capture function and removable battery.
The only downsides I can see with the T is the button layout, battery life and non removable battery.
I have seen a cheap almost new S3 in a local shop for £299 unlocked
What are your honest opinions? Someone help me out here please, thanks. |

I cant speak of the T as i havent used it. As i own an S3 i can tell you its positives:
-UI is ridiculously fast and smooth consitantly, if you've used an S2 then S3 is even faster
-Battery life is incredible
-Hardly any heating up unless you play HD games heavily
-The best GPU of the two
-Support for HD DivX, Xvid, Avi etc... out-the-box
-Incredible sound quality thanks to the Wolfson Micro DAC, which can be tuned with Voodoo sound, yep, you can tune the audio chip!
-A ton of great gesture/motion features like Direct Call, and Smart Alert
-Huge mod community
-Feels great in hand despite its size
-Better video recording (check GSMArena for samples)
-S3 will get the Multiview multitasking update that the Note2 got, bringing PC like multitasking to the S3
-Higher mem variants e.g. 32GB and 64GB to, so if memory is a major thing you can have upto 128GB mem in your S3 if you get a 64GB one and add a 64GB mem card.
-It already has the Jelly Bean update and has another update to 4.1.2 next month coming while T will be ICS for a while.
-Solid phone overall, the most mass consumer friendly Android until the S4 arrives middle of next year. 
Other things you will have to try both at some point for yourself side-by-side.

When I had the GS3 it did get a bit hot. But any phone getting warm or a bit hot is normal. Think of 2 to 4 cores inside it like a computer
Phone?? What phone?? |

Just flashed to 7.0.a.3.195. Got the new icons etc and face unlock, which I was surprised about.
The Charging issue is fixed anyway, the phone now charges up quite quickly.

Yes, S3 has huge modifying community but it quite useless
when Samsung always late to release a complete basic source-code.
Better GPU is paper-talk, Adreno 225 is also Sony well-tuned to reach 720p@60fps as well,
unless you're benchmark bragger I don't see any advantage on this.
I do like how Samsung work on maximizing their Nature UX but need to polishing them more
it's still look bit of cartoon-ish and lot of apple-inspired icons which I hope they will replace soon.
In opposite view : interesting read from CM10 developers team : codeworkx

To me
T - Sturdy
TX - Sleek
why don't stay with S and wait for Yuga to come?
I have a plan to buy TX but when it bargain and keep as collector edition.

 Ive never bothered to compare the Cameras to be honest, not that much into photography, so i cant say anything about it. I think Gsmarena will have great samples for you to compare though.

If im not mistaken, the GS3 managed 720P@103FPS in the Egypt GLBenchmark, thats quite a notable difference between the Adreno and Mali GPUs.

Who care and why care how much these phone can perform?
Did today mobile game support already?
Did battery life will survive a day with these kind of game play? (High-FPS)
I looking for casual games in my free time at bus stop or coffee shop
with decent graphic performance (720p@60fps), that's enough for (my today) phone.
BTW, I'm not benchmark bragging right, that isn't necessary part of my phone.

The GPU plays a major roll in the entire Android UI since Android4.0, not just games, so its always nice to know how much load the GPU can take, the fact that the Mali GPU in the S3 can handle upto around 100FPS @ a res of 720P could explain why Samsungs UI is much smoother and consistantly faster than Sony's UI, and the reason why Samsung can add things like Multi-view multitasking and pop-up play without the phone breaking a single sweat, whilest all at the same time running at a lower CPU clock speed and producing better battery life.

@randomuser I'm not sure many people in the forum here have tried both, I haven't, but I'm going to say of the two get TX. The design sold me and the biggest downfall from the T is the battery size, but that's cancelled out by the fact the battery is removable. No brainer. Hence why I have a TX
I have a dig bick
You read that wrong |
