Every detail, carefully crafted

Impressively slim and sleek

With the Xperia T3, we introduce a super slim phone designed with quality craftsmanship and attention to every detail. It comes with a gorgeous, stainless steel frame that mirrors the world around you. In addition, the Xperia T3 is incredibly light and has a slimness of only 7mm.

Enjoy every shade of colour

Built with the latest Sony TV technologies, this premium slim smartphone joins the growing trend for impressive screens, with a high-resolution 5.3-inch HD Triluminous Display for mobile. The result is a viewing experience that offers redder reds and bluer blues, and thanks to IPS you also get an excellent viewing angle and accurate colours from edge to edge.

Triluminous Display for mobile – astonishingly authentic colors

Unique to Sony, Triluminous display technology creates incredibly true, natural colour shades – just the way you want them. Hard-to-reproduce reds, aqua blues and emerald greens are displayed beautifully, making landscapes and seascapes appear more vivid. Faces look better too, with natural skin tones. With Sony’s own unique display innovation, the Triluminous display delivers a significantly wider color range, which gives a far more natural and vivid viewing experience with a heightened sense of depth.

Mobile Bravia Engine 2 – True Screen intelligence

The second generation of our acclaimed Mobile Bravia Engine, Mobile Bravia Engine 2 delivers an even better viewing experience by adding new real-time contrast optimisation to the sharpness enhancement, high-quality colour management and noise reduction. Mobile Bravia Engine 2 is also able to analyze content type and adjust the image accordingly. Adding Mobile Bravia Engine 2 to the Reality Display makes for the most intelligent HD mobile phone screen.

(1) Contrast enhancement
Contrast in images and video is enhanced by making the darkest parts slightly darker, which brings out details in the picture.

(2) Colour management
Colour saturation is increased for specified colour ranges, which makes the colours deeper and more vivid. And the intelligent Mobile Bravia Engine 2 software reproduces skin colour exactly as it appears to the naked eye.

(3) Noise reduction
Distortion and noise are reduced when streaming low-quality video from online sources, such as YouTube. Noise is reduced both to individual frames and between frames, for clearer viewing.

(4) Sharpness filter
The Mobile Bravia Engine 2 applies a sharpness filter to increase the overall detail level in the image. This is done by enhancing the edges and contrast without increasing noise.

An 8 MP camera for amazing picture quality

The super slim Xperia T3 comes with an 8 MP camera featuring Exmor RS for mobile, allowing you to take exceptional pictures even in challenging lighting conditions. You can also take great selfies, thanks to the high quality 1.1 MP front camera. And with HDR for both photo and video, everything you shoot will come out with beautiful, natural colours – even when backlit.

Superior Auto. Superior photos.

From illuminated night views to close-up macro photos, Superior Auto recognises up to 36 scene types and adjusts the settings automatically, to help you get the best photos anywhere, at any time. As the default camera mode, Superior Auto turns HDR on or off depending on your scene. HDR mode takes multiple shots with varied exposures and then merges them together to make your photos look natural – even in backlit conditions.

HDR for photos – natural colours in any light

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is an imaging technology used to capture clear photos against strong backlight. With HDR, your Android smartphone captures the same image at different exposure levels and layers them to create one optimised photo. And thanks to HDR for video, you can film in high contrast situations. You get great footage, even if your subject stands in front of a window or the setting sun.

Exmor RS for mobile – stunning shots in any light

The camera is built with the same modules as leading Sony cameras. Exmor RS for mobile is an evolution of our Sony image sensor technology, with a next-generation BSI light sensor. By adopting the technology of luminance and colour noise reduction, we’ve created a camera that snaps highly detailed shots with low noise – even in challenging lighting conditions. You’re now also able to reproduce objects in more vivid colours and capture night images and faces with stunning clarity.

Shoot perfect videos with SteadyShot
Shooting a steady video with an everyday smartphone isn’t easy. With the Xperia T3, it’s a different story. SteadyShot compensates for your movements, giving smoother pans and a more stable image even in Full HD 1080 video. The outcome is gorgeously steady videos.

Pre-installed Sony camera apps

Timeshift burst – always get the best picture
This intelligent app lets you capture 31 frames within just 2 seconds – starting even before you press the shutter. Scroll back and forth to select the perfect image, or feel free to keep them all.

Social live – broadcast your precious moments live
With Social live, you can broadcast every precious moment as it happens live via Facebook. Get your friends’ responses right on the screen and keep the conversation going all in real time.

Quad-core processor – lightning speed performance

Run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with shorter loading time and stream beautifully lag-free videos. The advanced Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.4 GHz Quad-core processor gives you maximum performance and speed without draining your battery. The processor is asynchronous, which means each core is powered up and down independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don’t.

Significantly improve battery life with Battery Stamina mode

Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those apps you have on your Android smartphone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery Stamina Mode minimizes battery drain. It recognizes when you’re not using your display and automatically turns off the functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again.
