It turns out that yesterday’s teaser was not for the successor to the Sony Xperia Z Ultra unless it is shrinking substantially. Sony today instead announced the Xperia T3, billed as the world’s smaller 5.3-inch smartphone. At only 7 millimeters thick, it may not be slimmest smartphone in the world but it is certainly among the slimmest. It also features a stainless steel frame with a matte backing, the same styling seen in other recent Sony smartphones.
“Xperia T3 has been crafted with attention to detail for those who know how to appreciate distinctive design in their everyday life. The T3 is packed with the latest beautiful technology from Sony – including leading digital imaging expertise and a vivid HD display – all within a stylish, stainless steel frame. The combination of this beautiful technology and the premium design ensures the T3 immediately stands apart from the competition,” says Calum MacDougall, Director of Xperia Marketing at Sony Mobile Communications.
