Sony unveils 7mm thick Xperia T3 with 5.3" screen and LTE

Sony unveiled "the slimmest 5.3-inch phone," the Xperia T3. It measures 7mm thick, not the thinnest ever but still impressive for a mid-ranger of this class. It shares a lot of similarities with the Xperia T2 Ultra, but is more compact.

The Sony Xperia T3 has a Triluminos IPS display with 720p resolution. The screen has an average 277ppi pixel density and Bravia Engine 2.

The frame is built following the traditional OmniBalance design with a metal frame that's exposed on the sides. The back is a matte plastic in one of three colors: white, black or purple.

The new 5.3" smartphone runs Android 4.4 KitKat on a Snapdragon chipset with a quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU, 1GB of RAM and Adreno 305 graphics. It has 8GB of built-in memory (5GB user available), which is expandable by microSD cards of up to 32GB.

The camera department boasts an 8MP Sony Exmor RS sensor with 1080o video capture and Sony's usual camera extras like Superior Auto, AR effects, Steady Shot stabilization, Social live (live streaming to Facebook) and tracking autofocus. The front-facing camera is a 1.1MP / 720p shooter.

The Sony Xperia T3 has rich connectivity for a mid-range device, starting with the usual 2G/3G, LTE Cat. 4 for up to 150Mbps download speeds, Wi-Fi with Miracast and DLNA, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and A-GPS.
