Design and Quality
The design of the phone is very much stylish and Sony has excelled in this field by launching Xperia T3. It is not completely made up of glass. The glass is at the front and the back of the phone is plastic. The back of the phone is not removable. The back of the phone comes in three different shades mainly black, white and purple. The notable feature of this phone is the slim design. Besides being slim, it is light as well. The weight of the phone is 148g and 7mm thick. Though the phone is not large enough and don’t have comfortable round edges which makes little irritation. The trims are silver and the buttons are of metal. Camera button and the headphone jack are placed at the top of the phone. Speakers and camera are placed at the back of the camera. The microSD card slot is placed at the right side.

Normally camera button is missing in Android sets but this phone has a peculiar camera button which is another plus point of the phone.
OS and Tech
The OS Sony Xperia T3 uses quite latest Android v4.4.2 KitKat but the RAM support is limited. 1GB RAM may limit the capacity to install as many apps as one wants. Along with less efficiency in case of RAM, the processor is also not much powerful. It has Snapdragon 400 processor which gives the performance a boost. There are Sony personal apps along with Google apps in it and there more almost 10 Sony own apps in it. Gaming can be problematic in this phone. Lags have been observed in gaming and this is due to the low RAM and less powerful processor.
Camera and Multimedia
The camera feature can be little disappointing this time but the photo sharing feature is good. The rear camera is of 8MP along with LED flash and a torch mode to accommodate for low light photo-taking adventure. The front camera of 1.1MP gives decent performance. The camera gets into action a bit slowly than it should have plus the autofocus features doesn’t work well when trying to capture out of focus things. The picture quality is good when pictures are taken from a distance, the closer a picture is the more quality and colors get blurred up. Video recording could be done in full HD mode with 1080p from the rear camera. The motion is perfectly handled by the camera though at the cost of little loss of sharpness of video.
Battery and Memory
The battery it provides is 2500 mAh and gives a comfortable all day use. There is power saving mode as well and this increase the use of the phone. The phone can be quickly charged as well and this also makes it an ideal phone. Just for 30 minutes charge, the battery gets jumped to 40%, isn’t it interesting. The RAM is limited of 1GB while the internal storage is 8GB which can be further extended to 32GB and this is a much better feature as other competitors phones provide as well.
