What do we think? 

We had seen and heard about the Xperia T under its codename the ‘Mint’, but only now have we had the opportunity to feel it. The T looks set to replace the Xperia S as a flagship fitting as such with its beautiful 4.6-inch display. The design of the T is reminiscent of Sony’s 2010 flagship, the Xperia Arc S albeit larger, thanks in part to it inverted back panel. As with the Xperia S which appeared at the start of the year, the Xperia T’s main benefit is its large 13-megapixel camera and its sleep to snap capability is wholly impressive.
