Sony Announces the Xperia T3 and Touts it as the Worlds Slimmest

Sony has certainly been making strides in their devices over the last couple years. The Xperia Z line is one of my personal favorites. The follow up device to the Xperia T2 Ultra has just been announced by Sony, the Xperia T3.

The Xperia T3 shrinks the Ultras screen from the previous 6-inch to a 5.3-inch screen. It does retain the 1280 x 720 resolution though. They packed a quad-core 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor inside, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP camera and 8GB internal storage with an SD card slot for expansion. As for physical size, it is coming in at 120.7 x 77 x 7 mm, the Xperia Z2 is 8.2mm thick as a comparison. 

The Xperia T3 doesn’t follow suite with the Xperia Z line though as the T3 is not dust or water resistant. The T3 will come with Android 4.4 KitKat along with the various Sony apps like Walkman an Sony Unlimited. It will also get all the camera bells and whistles such as Social Live and AR Effect. It is expected to to be released by the end of July this year, but lacks a price point.

Now, if Sony, or rather the U.S. carriers, could just get together and catch up to each other, that would be great. We doubt the T3 will make an appearance in the U.S. anytime soon. The Xperia T2 is still rumored for T-Mobile at some point. Oddly enough it is supposed to bring similar specs but offer a 13MP camera, 3,000 mAh battery and hit a particularly sweet full price price point that should entice plenty of buyers.
