Sony Xperia T Review

HD beauty in your phone and beyond

Your greatest moments, from life to phone to big screen, in beautifully vivid detail. Xperia T, powered by the latest Android software, brings you the ultimate HD experience. Xperia T has a Sony quality camera, the latest in connectivity, and a slim, ergonomic arc design. Sharing memories has never been more beautiful.

Capture

Save the moment with an HD phone

A first-class kick into goal. A golden sunset worth more than the plane ticket. Video chats so crisp the miles between you disappear. The 13 MP HD camera from Sony with full 1080p HD video recording captures it all in stunning detail. And since the most unforgettable moments are often unexpected, you’ll be glad the fast capture camera goes from sleep to snap in just over a second.

Connect

Share it magically on any screen

Home at last. Time to relax with the latest blockbuster? The “Movies” app magically downloads info on all the films that you have downloaded or side loaded, and lets you view in high quality. Or play your own videos for an audience of friends. Show it on your HDTV, with the touch of a button. Without cords thanks to Screen Mirroring* or via a standard HDMI cable using the MHL adapter** or an Xperia TV Dock**. And with live streaming in full HD, what looks gorgeous on your phone looks just as gorgeous on your HDTV.

The future of sharing

The perfect picture of your favourite couple, the track your friend was asking about. Forget messages and e-mail links. This NFC Android smartphone makes it easy to share content, phone to phone. Just hold your phone to your friend’s, and watch sharing magic happen.

It’s all in the details

Share laughs and moments. Cuddle up at home with a movie or choose the right soundtrack for your party. Xperia T makes it easy to zoom in on life.
