With the New Xperia T3 phones coming out, Sony with one stone two birds and enriches its range of large screen smartphones while filling the gap left between the Z and M finishes the first lines alongside components derived from the second on a format more comfortable and conducive to play multimedia content. Good recipe? Answer at the end of the test flash.
Sony finally seems ready to put order in its catalog. Long, the letters have accumulated no real meaning. They are now lined with figures and suggest a continuity in what amounts to well-defined ranges. Z is now synonymous with high quality. M midrange. And T, widescreen judging by the last two models come join: Ultra T2, T3, and we are testing today.
With its 5.3-inch screen, the New Xperia T3 Phones coming out does not reach, size, another model city but still present as a comfortable multimedia platform. It seeks to be more portable but also less fragile, through the use of durable materials, without going so far as to borrow tightness most exclusive models.
In fact, this is precisely where it is New Xperia T3 phones coming out: between the middle and the high end, which explains its price of 400 $ and its rather unique configuration. Here is a reminder:

Do not misunderstand, we still dealing with a nice product. We could only wish that Sony brings as much care to all that he has brought in slices, which recalled the range Z. A thin metal strip covers each. The various buttons and connectors have been integrated with elegance and intelligence. Camera shutter, volume control, power door and microSIM card and microSD right. Jack at the top. The microUSB port is the only exception. On the left, it is not always the most convenient to use.
At the back, we go down a notch. No glass plate here, but plastic with soft finish. The result is not unpleasant to the touch but fingerprints quickly accumulate and irritate the view. The camera’s flash and microphone occupy the upper left corner. The speaker, the lower portion just below the inscription “Xperia” while the brand stands in the middle. The cover does not bend under pressure. It is not removable and perfectly maintained, like the rest. An assembly that provides a seamless feel very nice robustness.

The Triluminos a hit!
Sony Android alters the form more than substance
Sony amends however the initial software offering since Google replaces the multimedia suite of Android by his (Walkman, Album and Movies). It also adds a number of practical tools (support, updates, news aggregator, song recognition and television programs or synchronization with other devices) as well as some third-party applications including OfficeSuite PixlrExpress by Garmin or Navigon (demo). The Play Store is obviously there to download new. It is also possible to go through Sony Select for selecting Sony.
Snapdragon 400 in top form

Sensor resolution is not everything in Xperia T3!
The photo is another area in which we were surprised. I must say that we were pretty pessimistic reading the specifications of New Xperia T3 phones coming out. An 8-megapixel main camera on a smartphone nearly 400 $, it is little. Especially before reaching the 20.7 megapixels of the most exclusive models, there is still margin. But the resolution is not everything.First, because the application has taken too and the Sony is, as always, complete and easy access. The many modes and settings allow novices and experts alike to have fun.
Then, because other factors come into play, such as type of sensor and processing data it captures. And we must recognize that Sony has done a good job at these levels, except for smoothing textures still a little too pronounced. Exmor RS technology provides bright, low-noise images, even when lighting is lacking.

Too bad it’s so expensive
In the end, we must admit that this new phones coming out Xperia T3 hit us. Once the barrier of space crossed, we went to a nice surprise, comfortable display, full connectivity, acceptable performance in both reading and multimedia capture. Still remains a thorny problem: the price.At 399 $, the New Xperia T3 Phones coming out is far from a bad smartphone but it is not an excellent quality / price ratio, however. In this game, always staying in the category of large screens, the HTC Desire 816 is much better for us. This obviously depends on the priorities of each. Both models do not rely on the same strengths: solid construction at Sony, friendliness (with Sense, in particular) at HTC. The choice will be difficult!
