Sony Xperia TL vs iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S III

Sony Xperia TL is meant for phone users whose primary requirements from their smartphones are great photo capture capabilities and great audio quality.

As for the screen size, users may find a more comfortable viewing space with Sony Xperia TL's 4.6-inch screen. iPhone 5 has a 4-inch screen size (some say it is rather small), while Samsung Galaxy S III sports a 4.8-inch screen (some say it is too big).

Sony Xperia TL packs a weight of 138g. In contrast, the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S III weigh 112g and 133g, respectively.

However, when it comes to a smooth run of operations, Sony Xperia TL cannot compete with its Ice Cream Sandwich. Sony understands this, that is why buyers can upgrade to Android version 4.1 (Jelly Bean) soon enough.
