Sony rolls out update to Xperia T and TX for Miracast mirroring, extra-long standby

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/07/sony-rolls-out-update-to-xperia-t-and-tx-for-miracast-mirroring/)

Sony [Xperia T](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/21/sony-xperia-t-review-a-new-4-5-inch-smartphone-flagship-that-is/) and TX owners won't have to wait until the eventual [Jelly Bean update](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/19/sony-to-start-xperia-upgrades-to-jelly-bean-by-mid-q1/) to eke some new life out of their software. From this week onwards, the Bond-blessed Android phone is getting an update that adds screen mirroring through [Miracast](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Miracast/); provided the stars align and you've got a compatible TV, the high-end Xperia gets that much larger a canvas. Upgrading also introduces an extended standby mode that temporarily shuts off data, a movie app with a small video player and a photo album that makes use of Sony's full image processing engine. We're further reminded as to how much sweeter that [HD Voice calling](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/18/sony-confirms-hd-voice-support-for-the-xperia-t/) on the T (but not TX) should sound. As much as we'd prefer a full-fledged OS update, it's a welcome dose of relevancy for a smartphone that has had [fierce](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/) [competition](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/31/htc-one-x-plus-review/) almost from the start.
