My Review Of Xperia T 4.3 Update

Hello People,

I updated my phone on 4.3 one day ago. Im very much satisfied with it. First thing that I want to talk is of battery. Battery life has improved a lot!!!. My battery was not good on 4.1.2. Even it was bad than ICS 4.0.4 but now IM using 4.3 and IM happy with battery life. Second thing is performance. In performance Sony has done a great job. It has reduced the lags and also loading of app is better than before. But only issue is with camera app. Camera app takes 2 seconds to launch, whereas rest of the stuff is fine. Third thing is the interface. As compared to previous version(4.0.4 & 4.1.2) interface is pretty much same. Only the app drawer icon is different and the setting menu is having white background. On lock screen you will also get very nice widgets like of calendar, gmail, clock etc. On fourth its the Sony apps. There are new versions of Sony app which are also pretty much similar to previous versions. Now comes the main issue with this ROM 4.3. That is the usage of RAM. This 4.3 rom is actually designed for xperia z and z1 which are having 2gb of ram, where as the phone is having 1gb of ram. Google says that minimum ram for 4.3 is 1gb and recommended is 2gb for better use. So when you phone is on sleep it will still be using 600mb of ram when you wake it the usage will jump to 780mb. This means that you will be left with only 200mb or less free ram. In ICS and 4.1.2 the free ram was 400 to 500mb depending upon how many apps you have installed. I want to mention one thing that I only having stock apps in my phone and still it is usage 720-780 mb of ram. So this was my review of xperia t and tx with 4.3. What you guys think about yours update. Do share it.

Thanks

hi,

i dont know how to rollback your OS in android(xperia). i can do this stuff in iPhone..... do you know how to do it. if yes can you give me solution. But so far im very happy with my new 4.3 OS :smileyhappy:. Best thing of 4.3 is battery life. It is very much better than 4.1.2 & 4.0.4. The worst thing of this 4.3 rom is ram. It use alot of ram. in my case it is using nearly 750mb of ram.

Do not be concerned,RAM memory on T,V,SP is not that large.4.3 needs a little more than 4.2.2,so you will not get that much from 1GB.

Hey there ajiooo,

camera quality is same as of previous versions but there is one problem that the camera take 2 to 3 seconds to launch. This problem was not in 4.1.2 and 4.0.4. Anyhow it is working fine and video quality is awesome as always.
