TX and TX. Overview of the smartphone with the mouth of the waist. The SIM card is used in mobile devices to save data certifying the authenticity of mobile service subscribers.
I already talked in detail about the announcement of the new Sony smartphones line in the Xperia ARC style - thin, a slightly curved smartphone, which received its name thanks to the bending of the back cover. This year, Sony decided to use the same designer idea to the maximum and presented at once 3 similar smartphones: Xperia J, Xperia T, Xperia V. Xperia T got a variation with a slightly modified appearance called TX, it will be sold in Russia. It differs from Xperia T and a removable battery, and a little less thick, which, you see, not bad.
The flagship from the Trinity is formally considered xperia t (and TX in Russia, respectively), although technologically more interesting than Xperia V, and the whole thing is in the size of the screen. The Xperia TX is set to the maximum element of 4.6 inches for the Sony, while in Xperia V is a total of 4.3-inch. In the separation from the screen size of Xperia V, in my opinion, and is the real flagship: it has support for LTE, the housing of the waterproof, the screen is made on a new technology. I myself am very waiting for this device, since it is 4.3 inches for me - the optimal size of the display, but the protection against water has not interfered with anyone. But now the market requires all the large screens, so Xperia TX will play the role of the device with the largest display in the Sony line.
Comparison with Xperia T:
Sony Xperia TX LT29I Characteristics
Design, convenience
As for the appearance, the device is definitely beautiful. The subtlety of the case and the bend are underlined by a large screen with a thin frame, the materials are very good, the matte slightly grungy plastic resembles a polycarbonate, only tougher.
Compare with LG Optimus L9:
The build quality is traditionally good, but monolithic predecessors (Xperia S, Acro S) for obvious reasons better. But the removable lid and the large body housing make themselves felt. However, if you do not find fault, there are no flashes in the assembly of the device. I like the combination of materials: the main body matte, the ends passes the metallized edging, and the plot over it is already glossy-white. From afar, this is not noticeable, but such attention is commendable.
In addition to white, there is a traditional black, as well as a dark pink that will be delivered to Russia later. Female option that looks very good, the shade is properly correct.
Having passed many months with Xperia s, I can say that the new design concept is more successful, the angles are not crashed into the palm, pleases the minimum subtlety, and thanks to the Xperia TX bending perfectly goes into hand. In addition, the lack of traditional buttons under the screen allowed to reduce the place, in size TX less than the xperia ion precursor with the same screen size.
Control elements are a bit: Volume control buttons and starting the camera / shooting on the right, lock / off on the left. Why the lock / off button is there, it is not clear to me, one hand is right-handed to unlock the phone difficult. In general, it surprises me on the constant movement of the buttons from one end to another. In Xperia S, blocking is generally from above, in TX - on the left and only in Xperia V and some other models, as it should be on the right.
There is also a couple of connectors: 3.5 mm on top and micro-usb on the right above, and that's it. As you can see, the HDMI refused, connecting to TV is implemented via micro-usb. There is also no touch buttons, Xperia TX control is only from the screen. Instead of buttons - a glowing Xperia logo, in the dark it looks beautiful.
As I said, the rear panel is removable, here, in addition to the battery at 1750 mA * h, there are slots for the SIM card and the MICRO-SD memory card. Again, if compared with Xperia S, then the panel is made much better. The camera module is not recessed, so the glass is easy to wipe before shooting. In the predecessor, for this elementary procedure, you have to remove the entire panel.
Screen
The Sony Xperia TX uses 4.6- (if you are completely accurate, then 4.55-) inch screen, usual for HD flagship resolution 1280 x 720 points. The clarity of the screen is about 320 pixels per square inch - comparable to the Apple iPhone 5. In general, on its characteristics, the screen is similar to Xperia Ion, it looks better Xperia S (as well as Xperia Acro S): more viewing angles, colors are not so flexible when tilted.
I can't say anything bad about the screen, I like it more than the same Samsung Galaxy S3 with unnatural colors and Pentile pixelization effect, but also the Xperia TX leader is also not: in quality Pictures ahead IPS elements of the same Nokia Lumia 920 or Xperia V with new technology BRAVIA Mobile Engine 2.
Hardware platform, battery
Xperia TX is the first Sony smartphone on the fourth generation of Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, the MSM8260A Krait chipset is used here, Adreno 225 graphics core. The chipset is made using technology 28 nm and shows excellent results in benchmarks, it is better optimized than 4-nuclear solutions from NVIDIA and Samsung. Actually, if the previous generation of Sony smartphones lags in the hardware from competitors, the new models fully correspond to the flagship status.
As you can see, the results are very and very good, the smartphone is inferior except that the newest flagships like Samsung Galaxy Note 2, winning in all other (4-core HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3 including). I have something to compare - Sony Xperia S works slightly slower, it is more likely to catch the "brakes" when performing any operations.
Benchmark Antutu and Quadrant:
As for the time of work, Sony Xperia TX is difficult to call unusual or something outstanding. The battery with a capacity of 1750 mA * h is not very much for the large screen, as a result, the results are average. In Antutu tests, the device scored 379 points, it is noticeably less than the Xperia Ion recently tested (533 points, but also the battery there for 1900 mA * h). So it is not worth counting on a long time, it's one day with an intensive nature of use, a standard for top android smartphones.
At the same time, video playback tests show very good results, about 6 hours (a film in AVI format played).
In Xperia TX there is a Sony branded chip - fast charge. Included with the device supplied an increased power supply unit, which charges the battery almost twice as quickly than the standard chargers. In stock And an application called "Save Mode". Here you can configure a set of screen brightness type, data synchronization, display time display, networks, animations, and other things. When the savings mode is enabled, the selected services will be disconnected. In this mode, the device will last noticeably longer, but it all depends on the selected parameters, of course.
The amount of memory is 16 GB (built-in), there is a micro-SD card slot, 1 GB RAM, indicators, normal for flagships 2012.
From new applications, I will note Xperia Link - a program for connecting a computer or tablet to the Internet through a cellular connection of the smartphone. Roughly speaking, the smartphone can distribute 3G via Wi-Fi for other devices, this is the implementation of the Sony access point.
There is a curious feature: Wi-Fi by location. The smartphone may include Wi-Fi only when located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe already known network, which can be connected. This is done again to save energy so that Wi-Fi is not turned on constantly.
Camera
The Xperia TX has a new camera module: 13 megapixels, with Sony Exmor R sensor. This sensor with backlight technology provides an advantage when shooting in poor lighting conditions. Also available video recording in 1080p at a speed of 30 FPS with permanent autofocus, there is a second microphone to record stereo sound. The difference with the predecessors of just 1 megapixel, which is insignificant for such values, so it is interesting to look at the picture quality. It, in my opinion, is almost no different from Xperia S.
Camera Interface:
Examples of pictures:
Interface and Multimedia
At the moment, all current Sony smartphones are supplied with the version of Androids 4.0.4 ICS, for most models (including 2011) declared an update before Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (at the beginning next year). In this case, the software devices are very similar to each other, the interface in them is unified. Xperia TX, V and subsequent models are distinguished by virtual (on-screen) buttons to control instead of touch under the screen, I like this option a little more, moreover, new Android versions also assume infant options.
As I said, the interface for new Sony smartphones is almost the same. There are folders on the desktop (you can group any applications), sorting in the main menu, a complete set of widgets and so on. With five desktops and such labels / folders to contact the main menu will have rarely. By the way, the main menu can also be arranged. As you wish - according to the alphabet, for example, or arbitrarily. Screens with icons scroll horizontally.
The keyboard has changed again. There are already known layout options: some letters, letters with the second number of characters, options for the location of the buttons (punctuation marks, smiles), as well as covers - light or dark, combined. A magnifier (known by iPhone) was added to edit the words and move the cursor (though, it is not visible on the screenshots), so the keyboard as a whole has become even better. For me, input in Sony smartphones seems to be one of the best on the market, there are practically no errors.
Immediately I will tell about the improved photo gallery, the mechanism for selecting multiple photos and operations with them.
An innovation in Xperia TX (this is not in the last of the predecessors, Xperia Ion, for example), is a mini-application. They resemble widgets and can be made in any place of the screen (on the desktop, or in the menu, or the player - no matter). Mini-applications allow us to produce simple actions: this is a voice recorder, calculator, notes that are available simultaneously with the main application. So, it became much easier to record conversations, for example, or count something without leaving the browser. The mini-applications will also be available in the Google Play store, however, so far it is empty, there are only pre-installed by the manufacturer.
The OfficeSuite package is pre-installed to view and edit documents, Chrome browser, Wisepilot navigation (paid and not too interesting). From useful chips - a separate application for backup and restore, where you can select a copy space, as well as to fully configure the data list for the reserve. Here you can also note the applications that you would like to keep. Convenient thing, because in android backup It is performed using third-party programs, it is right there in the kit.
Multimedia features are practically no different from other Sony's top devices, although the sound quality has slightly improved thanks to the new hardware platform. The sound in the headphones is more loud, and in general, the smartphone is quite suitable as a replacement of the player for undemanding users. True, the leaders (iPhone or Acer Cloudmobile S500) does not reach, of course.
Xperia TX without problems reproduces the unconverted video in 720p (AVI, for example), the codecs are pre-installed. The "Movies" application looks in a new way, there are miniatures of windows, the position is remembered and you can continue playback.
The player interface is similar to other Xperia smartphones: there is a customizable equalizer, the Clearbass feature and other rows: for example, editing tags, album cover, plus the Infinity button remains. If, when listening to the composition, click on this button, then the device will show all the information about the artist, composition, album, other tracks from this album, you can go to the official site of the artist, buy other songs using the PlayNow service.
A visualization mode appeared when playing, you can choose one of the seven options.
Conclusions about the Sony Xperia TX smartphone
Sony Xperia TX is a top apparatus from Sony, which was created with a loan for all the latest trends. In fashion, very large screens and the minimum thickness - get. HD-screen with a diagonal of 4.6 inches, the thickness is 8.6 mm in the thinner and branded bending of the rear surface - so in the three words you can describe Xperia TX. He, part-time, is the first Sony smartphone on the most new hardware platform (Qualcomm S4 chip of the last generation) and the first available apparatus with a 13 megapixel camera.
The combination of all these characteristics, as well as prices (about 25 thousand at the time of the start of sales, more precisely is not yet known) indicate the flagship status of the novelty. As I spoke at the beginning of the review, it is formal and is. There are, of course, and cons (I waited for a better quality 13-MP camera and longer battery life), but they are also fair for Xperia TX competitors.
The positiveness of the situation is that in the Sony lineup there is another smartphone, Xperia V, which has a smaller screen size, but very similar to other characteristics, plus LTE support and moisture-proof case. Personally, for me, Xperia v is more interesting, I am waiting for my Xperia S shifting, as I think the size of the screen is 4.3 inches optimal. But the huge popularity of large Android blades (with 4.6 inches and higher screens) unequivocally says that they have the audience, and is rather big. So here, Sony was divided by flagships for different categories of consumers: one more, the second smaller, each is achieved in its own way.

Xperia TX in the Sony product line is not yet to the flagships, as it was quite recently, but simply to the top devices of the brand. A powerful and large multimedia apparatus is highlighted by its concave body, representing the famous company "Arc design"!
"I do not have a mausoleum - you will not get closer!" They spoke to the USSR, looking at Ilyich's portrait on Chervonse. It also happens today and Sony - smartphones really do not allow to lie down (or to sit?) In the status of flagships, promptly releases the following model (or even one!) Noticeably advanced former leader in technical specifications. Another example is the former flagship of Xperia TX, just started to be sold, but quickly displaced from the first positions of the superior forces of Xperia Z and ZL ...
However, the presence of more powerful apparatuses in the portfolio of the Japanese brand does not at all exclude the need for a story about Xperia TX, which firmly keeps among the top products of the brand, possessing all its characteristics peculiar to its position:
OS - Android 4.0.4
Display - 4.55 inches, 1280x720
Processor: Dual-core Qualcomm MSM8260A 1.5 GHz + GPU Adreno 220
Memory - 1 GB operational, 16 GB for data + microSD slot to 32 GB
Camera - 13 MP, LED Flash, FullHD Video + Frontal 1.3 HD 720P
Other - Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.1, NFC, HDMI (via MHL), GPS / GLONASS
Battery - 1750 mAh
Dimensions - 13129 x 68.6 x 8.6 mm, 127
Sony Xperia TX :: Overview :: Design and features
In official characteristics, the thickness of the smartphone declares 8.6 mm. However, so "thin" it is not: just a device profile - variable, and in tabular data is the smallest of thicknesses. For example, if you measure the camera module, then the thickness is already 10.2 mm.
"Arc" -design is the main feature of the model (presented, by the way, in three colors - white, black and pink). At the same time, the bend "Arches" is actually small - the minimum thickness in the middle is 8.5 mm (according to measurements), and the maximum at the bottom is 10.05 mm. Total: the difference between the maximum and minimum thickness is only 1.55 millimeters. However, beveled ribs make visually, this deflection is much stronger, and the phone looks very elegant and unusual compared to typical "briquettes" -Alalelelepipeda.
3 Sensory buttons ("Back", "Home" and "Menu") are not independent, but highlighting on the display itself - so as not to devour the faded useful area of \u200b\u200bthe front panel, and take the maximum to take it. At the very bottom, the display is a highlighted "Xperia" logo that flashes the bright white light when unlocking and constantly burning with a smaller brightness level.
The large display of the gadget is his business card (which, by the way, leads it to the table of Rangs forward Xperia V, which is not too logical, because the latter has a smaller screen, only on a vague 0.25 inches, but has moisture protection and support for LTE!)
The TX screen is made of mineral glass, which is made by all the latest brand smartphones, is covered with an additional protective film. The BRAVIA Engine of the second generation makes the image on the screen rich, without losing the naturalness.
The inclusion button is located on the left side from above, designed to press the index finger, which is not too convenient (IMHO!). But the left-hander will be discovered just under the thumb. In addition to her on the left side there is a removal for the adhesion of the cover with a nail when removing, which is simultaneously a hole for our lace (in terms of its presence, Sony has a stubbornly adheres to oldcual standards)
On the right edge are (from top to bottom) - the microUSB connector, the volume swings and the camera button. From above, the nest of the headphones is traditionally - the bottom is empty.
Sony Xperia TX :: Overview :: Interface
When unlocking, you can select the usual switching on or fast transition to camera mode. Long-term hold of the shutter key of the fotapparation also awakens the smartphone and immediately starts the camera:
Slide finger across the screen from top to bottom Causes menu of notifications and events:
Five desktops are equipped with a line of five constantly necessary icons, the average of which causes the installed applications screen:
Applications in the general list can be arranged as you are convenient:
Applications on desktops can also be sorted by creating folders:
When holding the right key, the android smartphones demonstrate a list of running programs. However, the Sony interface slightly expands the capabilities of the right button, causing it by pressing not only the list of working applications, but also the so-called menu of mini-applications:
Mini-applications are branded programs that can work on top of the screens of other applications, full-time telephone services, etc. - A kind of "frame in the frame", which in addition you can move on the screen in any place. By default, a mini-calculator, a timer, a notebook, a mini-voice recorder for voice notes and twitter client. You can expand this list in the market:
A mini-application is not the most necessary functionality, but sometimes they are able to benefit. For example, when selecting goods in online stores, you can quickly recalculate something on the calculator or create a reminder:

Messages
From the message menu, it is convenient to send everything that in principle allows this type of communication. Using the Add Attachment feature, you can select all imaginable types of files and data from the content available on your phone. And in order to create a file or data "on the fly", directly in the SMS interface there is a "camera" button so that one click go to the camera mode, remove the photo and stick it to the SMS, the notebook button to Immediately create and attach the simplest drawing (say, part of the passage scheme), the button "Location" to attach the coordinates to the message:
As in any Android, the mail is represented by two applications - for Gmail and for all other postal services
Calculator, Stopwatch, Timer, Alarm Clock, Calendar / Planner
Radio
In the receiver mode, you can promptly call the TrackID brand service:
The browser is simple and sufficiently comfortable. The only drawback is an uncomfortable transition to the address bar and the list of open tabs. Both are at the top of the screen and is automatically hidden, so as not to reduce the useful pages. But when trying to call the address line, instead of it erroneously comes out of the Events panel ...

Data memory is officially designated as 16 GB, but in fact 10-11 are available. Normal practice - so usually happens.
Sony Xperia TX :: Overview :: Camera
In the flagship and "semi-power" Sony devices, cameras with outstanding characteristics always apply. Starting with Xperia Z, in the Japanese brand smartphones, specially designed for smartphones of the photo module will be installed, but also the current, adapted from modules for Cybershot cameras, is also great. The cameras are very shumbers, firmly removed in the difficult conditions of twilight, darkness or context illumination, and in daylight and give them completely impeccable frames for phones:
Sony Xperia TX :: Overview :: Performance and nutrition
A productive dual-core from the upper line of smartphones Sonyna is deprived of power, and that in the "parrots", which is demonstrating excellent performance in reality:
Due to the very thin middle part, the Xperia TX battery does not have a particularly prominent capacity - only 1750 mA * h. At the same time, the device is able to hold out two days away from the outlet, especially if you configure and use the standard Power administrator, which in the list of applications is subject to "Energy Saving".
Check how efficient the device spends the battery. We charge the battery 100%, reboot the device to clear the memory from litter programs, turn off all wireless interfaces, except for cellular communication, put the screen brightness and volume to maximum. Run a regular movie in AVI format, lasting 1 hour 23 minutes and a weighing of 1.45 GB. After the film is completed, we watch the battery balance using a visual and free battery utility from Google Play. 80% - an excellent result!
Sony Xperia TX :: Overview :: Conclusions
The apparatus in the plus is a magnificent camera, excellent power and speed, attractive appearance and high-quality large screen. In the minuses - significantly less, although without them it did not cost: the lack of LTE, which he would be in status and price to have, as well as the rapidness with which Sony expands the range of its products, at which the fact that yesterday was purchased as the flagship, too Quickly loses this status, pusing out the newcomer leader ...
At the time of writing a review, the official price of Xperia TX was 23.000 rubles, the gray apparatus, the so-called "Eurotest", was available from 15,000 rubles. On the one hand, Sony smartphones, and the upper segment, have never been cheap. And it is familiar to their fans, which, by the way, is becoming more and more if, say, subjectively assessing the subway passengers in the hands - Recently, Sony meets more and more. On the other hand, they are somewhat strained, thinking about how many additional accessories for the gadget can be bought on a saved difference between "gray" and "white" - from the memory card of the memory card, to audible headphones ...
Consider something difficult here and, probably, meaningless. Who is not afraid of the lack of proprietary support - he also knows the benefits of savings on Rosselte. The same, who is accustomed to go official track, guaranteeing peace of mind, will not attract "adventures" with gray products ... On the other hand, go from the camp to the camp can always.

Lyrical accession
Lyrical accession that you are currently reading is equally for two simultaneously published reviews: the review of Xperia TX (which is now in front of you) and the Xperia Sp overview. But do not be afraid. Options themselves are different.
In Sony Corporation, there are large originals. What else can you explain that in our market at the same time, already selling three of their smartphone with about the same screen diagonal on the similar iron for comparable money? Xperia Ion, Xperia TX, Xperia Sp. Oh, also Xperia T is. Officially, however, he does not become imported to us, but, nevertheless, sold. And quite actively.
My hands simultaneously hit two more freshly from this Trinity: Xperia TX and Xperia Sp. The devices are not serial, test devices. Provided to me the PR Agency, servicing Sony. And, because I did not ask both two of these devices for a test at the same time, it seems they wanted me to compare them. Well, let's try.
Pretty long enough, is it worth doing one, but big, or still break it into two, but smaller. I decided to try to make two separate reviews. For differences between devices a lot. But, of course, the second apparatus will be often mentioned in both reviews.
Xperia SP screen is significantly weaker. Less contrast, worse picture quality when viewed at an angle. However, as I was warned, the serial smartphones can be better and better screens than test.
Operating system and other software
Especially saddened the results of the game test. Only 3 hours 10 minutes of the game in Zombirds (against 5 hours 30 minutes from Xperia SP).
Sony Xperia TX as a phone
No comments as a phone comments. But with Skype somehow did not come around. If without a video - everything is fine. If with a video, I do not hear the interlocutor.
As in the case of Xperia SP, the display does not quit the screen if the device is located horizontally.
Sony Xperia TX as a flashlight
The outbreak of the camera is well able to pretend to be lantern.
Sony Xperia TX as photo and video camera
The main chamber is without small 13 megapixels. With autofocus and flash, of course. The quality of photos is quite worthy, I liked it. And every better than

I use TX for 2 weeks. Excited. Very comfortable, all at hand. A bunch of different functions, convenience of setting. The smallest details are provided. One alarm calls seem to be more than 20 options. Easy to put your melody, pump a book from a computer. Well audible interlocutor - the sound is loud. GPS catches quickly. Functional 100%. I considered TX or iPhone. I do not regret that I chose Sony. He took on the cluster for 14,000. Everything works. The only thing that since it is not Rostt - the factory film on it is not, waiting with eBay. Without it, 2 small scratches were already planted. Conclusion: MUST HAVE film.

The most terrible battery that came across for android. Discharged to zero for 2.5-3 hours of very active use.

The only disadvantage was the external speaker for me - very strangely located, in the back cover below, and very narrow. As a result, if the phone lies with a lid down (and this is natural, who puts it down his screen?) Or, especially, lies in the handbag, the call is almost not heard. Since due to the dense contact of the dynamics with the surface, the sound almost does not pass.
Well, the size can be partially defined to disadvantages :) When you look at the video or read - this is definitely dignity. But wearing this "shovel" in your pocket, especially the girl - is not very comfortable :(

1. It is a pity that you cannot install on the TX applications from the computer on Google Play.
2. Headphones could be better included.

A ridiculous and uncomfortable location of the buttons, just where they stuck. As a result, the TC in the phone there is no analog buttons from above, you can wake it only through the side buttons. And when you press the power button, the volume swing is pressed, so you turn on the phone better than two hands. Same, the rocker is very small and use its functionality is inconvenient.
It is impossible to determine where the top, where the bottom. Cap Camera is identical in shape and location of the power button, and on the front part, the inscriptions are located, at the top of Sony, at the bottom of Xperia. As a result, the phone is often taken up to your feet, and instead of the power you press the camera button.
The usual TFT screen is just a disgusting, who rejoices the display, did not work with Amoletic Samsung or IPS iPhone. Yes, he has a big rake, if you look clear front

There are many of them: the accumulator holds noticeably weaker iPhone and Galaxy 3, the sensor is not very sensitive - it will be very good on the iPhone and will be better on Galaxy too.

The main disadvantage is the creaking of the back cover, the screen is dirty, when charging, the back of the body is heated. That's while still.

The camera does not shine, the points are a little sense: (
-Look battery, when incl. Wi-Fi charge melts in front.
- The screen is quickly covered with scratches and the back cover began to seal at the corners.
