    Of those two?

    The S3 by a mile. The T is already gone end of line after a shelf life of about 7 months, and the S3 has a tonne of better features overall.

    The only saving grace of the T was the 13MP camera, and that wasn't even that great sadly.

    Either go for the S3 or spend a bit more and get the HTC One.

    I'd look at a nexus 4 before buying, I had an S3 for 6 months and then swapped to a nexus. I'm much happier with it, it's nice not to have to deal with touchwiz without bothering with custom roms!

    Like what ?
    I think the screen is better on the S3, but that's it ?

    Don't think the Xperia T is available any more though.

    Better screen, better battery (2100 vs 1850), removable battery, already running Android 4.1.2 with planned upgrade to 4.3 as well as 5.0, better front facing camera (1.9 vs 1.3)

    Sony has a sad tradition of stopping support for phones once they go EOL, Samsung has already confirmed that the S3 will be getting 5.0 when it's available.

    Overall, the S3 is the better phone. It's not to say the Xperia T is bad, it's just not as good a phone.

    Sony has a sad tradition of stopping support for iPhones-, once they go EOL, Samsung has already confirmed that the S3 will be getting 5.0 when it's available.

    Overall, the S3 is the better phone. It's not to say the Xperia T is bad, it's just not as good a phone.

    Thanks everyone. It's the other half is changing phones. Deal with Vodafone. Now he thinks it was the Xperia Z. Will check it out properly!

    Z is a great phone, if a bit too rigid and brickie for my tastes.

    Of the lot if check the HTC One tbh.
