Comparisons Featuring Sony Xperia T3
Short Review
- The Sony Xperia T3 features a sleek design with dimensions of 150.7 x 77 x 7 mm and a weight of 148 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.3-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 277 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU and Adreno 305 GPU, paired with 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP shooter with autofocus and can record 1080p video at 30fps, while the front camera is a modest 1.1 MP.
- The battery capacity is 2500 mAh, providing standard usage without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is relatively dated but functional.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The phone is available in black, white, and purple colors, offering some aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the Xperia T3 combines a decent display and performance with a simple design, suitable for basic smartphone users.
