Huawei Ascend P7 or Sony Xperia t3?

Mar 26, 2015 8:50AM PDT

A little battle of the mid-range phones. I'm struggling to decide which to buy. I know the specs of the Huawei are off the charts but I've never actually worked with one. As for Sony, I've used a bunch of Sony smartphones and I am sure it has a great display and camera as the ones I've used. BUT I've encountered many RAM and processor issues with Sony. Anyway, here are links for the specs.

What do you think?

On spec along the 16GB 2GB ram would get my nod.

Sony tends to much around a bit too much on Android so -1 for them.
+1 for the other maker this round.

-> Have you seen models by BLU in your area? Since you are looking for a deal.

No, won't find those here. I'm left with these two basically. I'm a skeptic for Huawei's camera and display and I don't know what to think. Have you used them?

Sorry no.

Huawei isn't a brand you see here. I took a chance on a few BLU (4 so far) and reviews were slamming the display but I have them and can't see the issue they wrote about. No, it's not a Retina iphone but it's also not the price.

The p7 has more megapixels but Sony is usually great with cameras. So you may have to find samples to figure that out.

I do know that folk WHINE over the 8GB and 512MB RAM phones so seeing higher numbers there saves you from bumping into that whining sound.

I guess I'll need to ask them to let me use both for a bit before I decide. Thanks for the help. At least I'm not awfully wrong with the negative opinion on Sony with their RAM and OS for not-that-expensive phones.

According to specs chart, Huawei Ascend P7 is the best option as compare to Sony Xperia T3. You got just double memory storage, RAM, Camera in this device. Personally, I used the Huawei model it has quite well in performance and specifications. So, in both of then, I would prefer Huawei Ascend P7.
