Departure from Ericsson had a very positive impact on Sony's products, the line of smartphones which has significantly changed and expanded. Despite the fact that these devices are sometimes almost identical in appearance, each of them boasts its own unique characteristics. The Sony Xperia T3 model, which is reviewed in more detail below, cannot be called a flagship. Moreover, it cannot boast of the highest performance in the line. Nevertheless, the modification has its own zest - it is the thinnest.
General Description
The case of the novelty, whose thickness is only 7 millimeters, is made of glass and plastic, as well as stainless steel. The use of the last of these materials is a rather non-standard solution for such devices. Almost the entire front of the Sony Xperia T3 is occupied by a 5.3-inch display. Above the screen is a speaker slot and a front camera, as well as a strip with the company logo printed on it. Most slots, connectors and elementsdevice controls are located around the perimeter. The right end is visually divided into two even parts by a round button designed to turn on / off and lock. The bottom edge of the device is empty. All connectors are hidden under one common plug. At the back is a camera lens with a flash, which is not distinguished by any auxiliary elements. It should be noted that it is impossible to remove it, since the case is monolithic. To install a SIM card and additional memory, the corresponding connectors on the ends are used. The novelty is available in black, white and bright purple colors. The weight of the device is 148 grams. At first glance, it may seem that the case protects the device from dust and moisture, but this is not at all the case. This is the retribution for its small thickness.
Display
The model is equipped with a 5.3-inch screen. It is made using IPS technology and has HD resolution. In principle, the display can be called one of the advantages of the Sony Xperia T3. Its review is quite qualitatively provided even at large angles. In addition, the screen is characterized by high contrast and brightness, thanks to which, even in bright sunlight, the image on it can be seen clearly. It is made of a single layer of glass and does not have an air gap (this is due to the small thickness of the body). The sensor of the device is quite sensitive, instantly responding to the lightest touches. It can process up to four images simultaneously.
Performance
Hardwarethe performance of the platform on which the phone was created does not differ in the highest performance against the background of existing devices today. Be that as it may, it consists of four cores that operate at a frequency of 1.4 GHz. Graphics processing occurs due to the Adreno-305 video accelerator. The phone has built-in eight gigabytes of fixed memory, despite the fact that three of them are required for its own needs. If necessary, in the Sony Xperia T3, as in any other modern similar device, you can install an additional microSD card up to 32 gigabytes.
Cameras
The smartphone is equipped with two cameras - main and front. The resolution of the first is 8 megapixels, which can not be called a serious advantage of the Sony Xperia T3 (Ultra T2, for example, is a flagship modification with a 13 megapixel camera). Be that as it may, the device has a module with an Exmor RS matrix, a single-section LED flash and auto focus. In addition to manual and automatic, the gadget also provides several additional shooting modes. As for the quality of the photos taken with the Sony Xperia T3, it is quite high. This is especially true for pictures taken in good natural light. At night, they look a little grainy, but they are not full of noise.
The front camera is equipped with a 1.1 megapixel sensor. Photos taken with its help have a resolution of 1280x720. It is difficult to call their quality high, but it is quite enough to createselfies so popular these days.
It should also be noted that the main camera is capable of shooting videos in Full HD. When watching video, especially on a large screen, it's hard not to notice slight delays and distortion, although the image is smoothed out by the Steady Shot stabilization system.
Soft
The Sony Xperia T3 smartphone operates on the Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system. The design of the interface is quite familiar, as for similar devices from this manufacturer. If desired, the user can simplify the menu. A distinctive feature of the software menu was the ability to sort, select, and work with application icons. The developers even provided for a retractable contextual panel that appears with a side swipe from the left. Here you can search in various categories, set the placement of icons in your own way. In general, as the owners testify, the set of standard applications and programs here is typical for all smartphones from this company. The interface that functions quickly and without delay is one of the most important advantages of the Sony Xperia T3. Feedback from users of the device also testifies to the absence of cases of spontaneous shutdown or reboot of the model.
Communication
The Sony Xperia T3 phone is able to function as standard in modern 2G and 3G networks. In addition, the device also provides support for fourth-generation networks (LTE), which are becoming increasingly popular onterritory of our country. The navigation module works quite quickly and accurately not only with GPS, but also with the Russian system known as Glonass. Thanks to the Smart Dial application, the user has the ability to search through contacts directly during a telephone conversation.
Sound
Unlike the flagship modifications, the device has one speaker, which is directed back to the listener. In this regard, the sound characteristics of the Sony Xperia T3 phone cannot be called outstanding. According to the owners, its main speaker sounds good, but nothing more. When using headphones, the music is played quite clearly and loudly, and the squeak is not felt. As for the conversational dynamics, it is easy to recognize the natural and natural voice of the interlocutor. The standard player has many settings and additional programs aimed at improving the sound quality. The radio is capable of recording programs and works without the need to connect headphones that act as an external antenna.
Ergonomics
The small thickness of the case is far from the only aspect that the manufacturing company relies on when promoting the Sony Xperia T3 on the market. Reviews of smartphone owners have become clear evidence that the device is very easy to use. This was achieved largely due to the excellent combination of dimensions, weight balance, non-separable body and the successful choice of the location of the controls.
Battery
Capacitybuilt-in battery is 2500 mAh. For a device with such a thin body, this can be called a pretty good feature. Be that as it may, the autonomy of the phone does not differ by high rates. The only exception is the standby mode, during which the battery is almost never drained.
Results
In conclusion, it should be noted that the cost of Sony Xperia T3 in the domestic market depends on whether the device is certified or not. In the first case, you will have to pay about 16 thousand rubles for a smartphone, and in the second - about 11 thousand. The model is difficult to attribute to the budget segment, but it is definitely worth the money. Even against the background of flagship modifications, this option looks good. As many owners of the gadget say, we can say that the manufacturer has presented the market with a smartphone balanced in all parameters with well-thought-out ergonomics, high-quality materials, an excellent screen and build quality. The device supports modern communication technologies, and you can control it even with gloves on. In general, the phone is not better, but not worse than most analogs - it's just different.
