Sony Xperia to Arrive at AT&T - Confirmed!

 There has been a lot of speculation around the pending release of Sony’s latest device, the Sony Xperia T, in the United States. It can now safely be said that the much-anticipated confirmation has been made-the Sony Xperia T will now be available in the US. 

 Rumors abound that the new handset will be released in the United States market through the AT&T network. These speculations became wider spread after an AT&T branded “Bond Phone” advertisement began doing the rounds on the Internet. FCC has also confirmed, though not officially, that they are getting ready for the arrival of the Xperia T at AT&T and T-Mobile.

 For those still in doubt over the new handset’s availability in the United States, spokespeople for AT&T have officially confirmed that once the Sony Xperia T is released in the US, it will be carried on that network. The Xperia T will then be renamed Xperia TL in order for customers to be able to differentiate it from the other models. 

 A  HD display (4.6 inch) with 720 x 1080p resolution, RAM of 1 GB, a 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, a 13 MP camera and Android 4.0 with an expected Jelly Bean update are some of the features you can expect to find on the new Sony Xperia T. With all these features, it is safe to assume that the Sony Xperia T is a must-have phone for all Android users. 

 Despite the confirmation that was received, AT&T is still unwilling to give any information on the phone’s exact date of release and how much it will cost. The Sony Xperia T, which is already being sold in the United Kingdom, has a very competitive price tag for a new, state-of-the-art gadget. It can be assumed that the same competitive prices will be seen in the United States once the phone is officially released. 

 Remember to look at our Xperia T review!

Sony Xperia T Camera (video and photo samples)

 The Sony Xperia T is the latest addition to the impressive line of Xperia devices. The Android device, which comes with a 13-megapixel, Exmor R technology sensor camera, is a smartphone that is eons ahead of the rest. The rear shooter of the handset’s camera possesses an f/2.4 aperture that integrates Sony's BSI sensor. Bellow is the first in the series of the sample photographs taken with a Sony Xperia T:

Crystal clear quality!

 The quality of the video and photo output of the Sony Xperia T is above par in more ways than one. This device patterns itself upon its digital imaging legacy by producing stills of the highest quality, especially when put in macro mode. In the Xperia T camera’s "auto" mode, which has a tap-to-focus feature, allows you to transition rather seamlessly from landscapes to close-ups making it easy to take quality photographs without having to be a professional.

 The Xperia’s camera boasts outstanding dynamic range despite the fact that it doesn’t have a HDR mode. If the need arises, the camera can launch into backlight-corrected High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode automatically. In addition to its many amazing features, the camera’s 13MP sensor is considerably less noisy as compared to other Xperia models, for instance the Sony Xperia S’s 12MP sensor. However, there is still some noise in shots taken in low-light, particularly in close-up view.

 For low-light shots, the camera has a night shot mode that enables you to improve the clarity or luster of shots taken in low light, such as those taken at night. The downside of this mode is that it is highly sensitive to the smallest movement.

Low light settings

 To add on to its already impressive camera features, the Sony Xperia T’s video mode is high-functioning and very sophisticated. It generates silky-smooth video recording at 1080p resolution with 30 fps as well as advanced dynamic range as compared to other Android devices like the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3. One of its disadvantages is that it has an inclination to colors that are under-saturated.

 In video mode, the Sony Xperia T has far surpassed its predecessors with regard to its focus capabilities. It can maintain focus on even the smallest objects in motion when in this mode. The video camera also has a night mode that increases visibility in dark areas though one has to endure some noise. All in all, the Sony Xperia T’s camera is an amazing feature that makes the phone a must have for all Android smartphone users.

Sony Xperia T - the Bond Phone!

 Smartphone users, especially those in the United Kingdom, have something to smile about now that the O2 network has recently made the Sony Xperia T smartphone available. The Sony Xperia T smartphone, which has been branded after the mysterious and elusive James Bond, is worth considering if you are in the market for a new smartphone tariff and deal.

 There had been rumors circulating for some time that the O2 network would be giving their consumers a 007 Xperia T smartphone though the exact date when it would begin appearing on the online store had not been confirmed until now. The Sony Xperia T smartphone is now being referred to as “the Bond Phone.”

 Some people may think that it is a little odd that the one of UK’s most popular spy opted to use this particular model in the recent Skyfall film rather than a classier, more stylish phone such as a newer generation iOS device like the iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 or even the Galaxy S III. However, it would stand to reason that the Sony Xperia T smartphone would suit the man of mystery far better than others since the black aesthetics of the phone fit Bond’s persona.

What is the Xperia T Bond Phone about?

 The Sony Xperia T smartphone has exactly the same specifications found on a typical Xperia T smartphone. The main difference however is that “the Bond Phone” contains Skyfall content that is found exclusively on the handset. In addition, the phone comes with an exclusive 007 ringtone, which is preloaded onto the handset as well as James Bond screensavers and themes.

 Official photographs taken from the set of the new James Bond movie Skyfall, which are tagged with geo information to let the customer know exactly where the image was taken, can also be found on the phone. For the gamers, the 007 Legends video game will be available to them at no cost under specific circumstances.

 Users will be able to pick the Sony Xperia T smartphone for £36 per month on a 2-year On & On tariff with  no primary outlay. The tariff offers great deals that include unlimited calling minutes and text messaging as well as a data package of 1GB for your browsing needs.

The Sony Xperia T - the Official Bond Phone

 It is time for Sony to roll out the Sony Xperia T, its flagship phone and they are going to do this with one hell of a bang. The upcoming movie Skyfall will feature the Xperia T which will be carried by James Bond himself  and today we got the official  “the Bond phone has arrived" commercial. It features an action packed scene and doesn't give out too much information about the phone itself. This is of course a standard marketing tactic as they just want to intrigue the viewers, not give them a boring lists of specs. Here is the official Bond Phone commercial (and please don't try any of these stunts on your own):

 { Allow us to remind you that our official Sony Xperia T review is still in the making but you can watch the unboxing video. Also, a quick reminder, the Xperia T features:

• A 1.5 GHz dual-core processor
• 1 GB of RAM
• 13-megapixel camera with LED flash and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.

Sony Xperia T release date - by the end of September?

 While the Sony Xperia T has been presented some time ago, the release date is still a troublesome issue and not too many people are sure when we will be seeing the Sony Xperia T release date popup on the official web pages. Still, enthusiasts and journalists are actively looking into researching all the details about the Sony Xperia T and it seems that there are some good news to report. Those of you who have been anxiously sitting at your computer hopping for the Xperia T release date might see the the device on shelves a lot sooner than some people originally thought. You can be sure that we will do a full Sony Xperia T Review once the device hits the stores!

 You see, the latest news on the wire are that we can expect the Xperia T by September the 29th. This statement is attributed to a spokesperson from Expansys, however this is nothing official. For those who are interested in the Xperia J model you should know that the model is expected to be ready by mid-October which isn't such a long wait from now. Enough time to save up on a bit of money and get ready for an upgrade!

 Recently Sony's PR stated: “We are still on track to deliver the Sony Xperia T before the end of the month.” 

 While this does sound great, many people are being skeptical as if this is just a sign that something is wrong with the production line and Sony noticed that we are onto them! Some news sources are saying that the Sony Xperia T will not hit the stores before January and that there are many problems with the tariff systems and contracts between Sony and the carriers. Those who preorder the phone and buy it first will also be the last ones to get it thanks to the system by which things work nowadays. Sad, isn't it?

 The carriers are still unknown but it believed that we will see O3, Orange and Three to be the first ones to get the brand new Xperia T in their offers. Local retailers who will be getting the VIP release of the Xperia T are Phones4U and Carphone and these are the places you can look to go to if you want the Xperia T off contract.

Sony Xperia T - the high-end phone

 IFA has come and gone, and many new phones have been unveiled there. Among many others, Sony has unveiled 3 new smartphones and each of them is designed for a certain price range and for a certain category : Sony Xperia V, Sony Xperia J and Sony Xperia T. Sony Xperia T is the high-end device and the company flagship for the season. It offers a great deal of features, applications and it has great specifications.

 As for CPU, Sony Xperia T has 1.5 GHz dual core processor (the same processor that HTC One X and the Galaxy S3 have), which grants extremely fast performance.

 It has a great, Sony quality, 13 MP camera which has an Exmor R sensor with full 1080p HD video recording. It also comes with a 1.3 MP front-facing camera.

 Xperia T has 4.6’’ display, along with HD 1280x720 resolution and 16,777,216 colour TFT. It has 16 GB of intern memory and, of course, a slot for microSD card.

 It comes with MHL connectivity and, thanks to 1850 mAh battery, the high performance does not drain the battery quite easily.

Xperia T’s dimensions are 129.4 x 67.3 x 9.35 mm and it weighs 139 grams. It uses micro SIM.

 Specifications look great, don’t they? Camera sounds most awesome, but processor could be better. Perhaps some time soon, it will be.

 As for software, Xperia T comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, even though that some devices, like Samsung Galaxy Note 2, will have Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. But, Sony promises OS upgrade to Jelly Bean quite soon after the phone is released. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait months on it.

 As for apps, Xperia T has quite a few great apps : “Albums”, “Movies”, “Walkman”… and some standard ones like “Google Play™”, “Google Maps” and others … It also has PlayNow™ service, TrackID™ music recognition and xLoud™ Experience.

 Sony Xperia T comes in three colors – black, silver and white. Sony has announced a Sony Xperia TX which will have the same specifications, but a dual core S3 processor. This cellphone will, however, be available only in pink color and will not be available in all markets.
