The new Sony handset is powered by a quad-core (Qualcomm Snapdragon 400) Cortex-A7 processor clocked at 1.4 GHz and packs 1 GB of RAM. Moreover, the device runs on Android v4.4 KitKat along with Sony's custom UI. When it comes to internal storage, the Xperia T3 comes with only 8 GB memory capacity but it supports microSD card for expansion up to a good 32 GB.

The device also houses an 8 MP rear-facing camera with LED flash and a 1.1 MP front-facing camera unit. Also, the battery seems solid with a non-removable Li-Ion 2,500 mAh unit that can provide up to 14 hours of 3G talk time and 688 hours of 3G stand-by time. As far as connectivity goes, in addition to standard Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LTE, the Xperia T3 supports NFC (Near Field Communication).

Also, Sony's standard colour choices for the Xperia series of phones are maintained in the new Xperia T3 as well. Hence, the same three shades of purple, black, and white are in offer. The release date pertaining to other countries will be out soon.
