This week Sony announced the Xperia T3, a new smartphone that combines a large 5.3-inch 720p display with mid-range internals and a reasonable price. In fact, Sony claims that this is the thinnest 5.3-inch smartphone in the world, at 7mm. Of course, 5.3″ isn’t the most common display size, but it’s still a remarkable feat.
Inside the Xperia T3, you’ll find a Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor running at 1.4 GHz, backed with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage. You can greatly expand your available storage using microSD though, with support for up to 64 GB microSD cards.
In terms of shooters, we’re looking at a rather ordinary 8-megapixel Exmor RS rear camera, with a 1.1-megapixel front-facing camera. Other features include a 2500 mAh non-removable battery and the usual connectivity options: Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi N and NFC.
Android 4.4.2 is the software on board, with Sony’s usual blend of software tweaks and themes.
The Xperia T3 looks like it’ll be available from late July or early August, and will launch in three colours worldwide: black, white and purple. We’ll have two of these at Mobile Fun, although if we see sufficient demand the purple option is a possibility as well.
