Sony
Mobile keeps bringing our country all his pitches which have
several characteristics that make certain users, where the common
denominator is the design, all Xperia devices have a great design regardless of the type of materials focus.
This time we had the opportunity to live for almost four weeks with the Sony Xperia T3 , which is to provide a change to the T family, where we the Xperia T and Xperia T2 Ultra , equipment different from each other, but retain care and attractive design range.
Of course we have to start with the visuals, where T3 is the Xperia looks and as much as in subjecting see how thin and light it is, where his own design and construction details that make it stand out and give the appearance of a high-end equipment.
The entire shore is stainless steel with mirror finish aluminum, giving it a stylish look in the corners continuity of steel is broken to give way to a rounded plastic inlays that help with your grip and fuse with the following up the rear cover design like one piece.
In such frameworks find elements like micro USB charging port on the left side, the 3.5 mm jack on the top, a hole for the microphone and one for placing a decorative pendant at the bottom and finally in the right side we a cover which gives us access to the bays on the microSD and micro SIM, the familiar round aluminum power button and lock, a long volume button as well as the zoom and finally the dedicated camera button, which will serve as a shutter and focus because of its two touches, as well as to activate the camera from any screen even with the locked computer.
In the back we have a Soft-touch plastic finish extremely comfortable to hold, that would also make a good hand friction and thus prevent us from sliding further that upon reaching the shore has a gentle curve that gives improved ergonomics and can operate it with one hand without much trouble despite its size, but one more thing, if you have fat hands prepare to leave such a nice ass stained finish.
Following in the back we have the camera lens with a silver arillo, LED flash and below it, a hole for noise cancellation, at the center we have the Sony logo in silver embossed letters and logo below Xperia printed and speaker, it unfortunately does not have a good quality, and that no such high frequencies begin to perceive a saturation and vibration that can cause not enjoy music at high volume.
Finally on the front of your big screen 5.3 inches which because of its contrast makes miss around the front like one piece stands out, but the part we do not like so much and which Sony has not thought change, are the thick frames, but hey, hopefully this will change in the future, for now here's a particularly large space above and below.
In the top frame we have the Sony logo on the sides facing camera and ambient light sensor, and just above the earpiece, which has in its interior with LED notifications. And in the bottom frame, a large space that has more utility than do the larger team.
The brightness range is also very good quality outdoor showing, the detail is that the low resolution on such a large screen makes colors with high brightness and wash suffer, seeing in these circumstances muted colors and lack of definition.
The advantage here is undoubtedly the size, which gives us a very good space for content of all kinds as well as share, and remember that the team is not as big as it seems and it is very thin and lightweight, making it makes it very functional and easy to wear and share.
The problem comes when we want to open multiple applications, or we open one that requires much processing power, because here we will see how our Xperia T3 begins to suffer, but if ours are open social networks, read emails and activate the camera from the lock screen and take a picture immediately, then we will not have any problems.
This is how we live colors, good definition and detail especially in lit exterior, since as is customary in most smartphones cameras in low light conditions you suffer from noise and really poor shots.
We also have the automatic mode does an excellent job of looking at the area and capture almost always with good exposure and the HDR function which is also built-in video recording, we throw good results both in photos and video, because it fails to capture and process the three exposures into a single form by other satisfactory.
Finally, I have to emphasize that the dedicated camera button does an excellent job, both to activate the camera immediately making it ready to capture, as well as the focus function, a function that saves us be touching the screen because here almost always choose a good point of focus to show a scene with good color quality and detail.
On the other hand we already feature suite of Sony applications, which will help us to have features not available on any other smartphone and we will make the most out of our team, where of course the camera is the one that gets benefits in burst transmission in Youtube or Facebook, augmented reality, timelapse, pictures with audio and a new retouching selfies that works great shots and third party applications which are still growing and adding the Sony ecosystem.
In the first test I made during my day with average use, the team arrived just 10 hours, where I had the option to enable the Stamina mode and take a few hours with what came to 18 hours, but by making an intensive testing constantly transmitting video via Miracast to a TV screen while I was on T3 Xperia maximum brightness, the autonomy came just three hours. As we see, here our charger or a laptop battery will be our constant companions.
The weak points are definitely the battery and not being able to use fluently applications that require a lot of power, but as mentioned, if you are someone looking for a 4G LTE equipment to use social networks, listen to music online, one another simple game, post and take lots of pictures and then share them, then this team is for you, but also the design you like and do not want to invest a lot, then a fortiori the Xperia T3 is a great choice for large screen devices but are not bulky or impossible to use.

Design
Of course we have to start with the visuals, where T3 is the Xperia looks and as much as in subjecting see how thin and light it is, where his own design and construction details that make it stand out and give the appearance of a high-end equipment.
The entire shore is stainless steel with mirror finish aluminum, giving it a stylish look in the corners continuity of steel is broken to give way to a rounded plastic inlays that help with your grip and fuse with the following up the rear cover design like one piece.
In such frameworks find elements like micro USB charging port on the left side, the 3.5 mm jack on the top, a hole for the microphone and one for placing a decorative pendant at the bottom and finally in the right side we a cover which gives us access to the bays on the microSD and micro SIM, the familiar round aluminum power button and lock, a long volume button as well as the zoom and finally the dedicated camera button, which will serve as a shutter and focus because of its two touches, as well as to activate the camera from any screen even with the locked computer.
In the back we have a Soft-touch plastic finish extremely comfortable to hold, that would also make a good hand friction and thus prevent us from sliding further that upon reaching the shore has a gentle curve that gives improved ergonomics and can operate it with one hand without much trouble despite its size, but one more thing, if you have fat hands prepare to leave such a nice ass stained finish.
Following in the back we have the camera lens with a silver arillo, LED flash and below it, a hole for noise cancellation, at the center we have the Sony logo in silver embossed letters and logo below Xperia printed and speaker, it unfortunately does not have a good quality, and that no such high frequencies begin to perceive a saturation and vibration that can cause not enjoy music at high volume.
Finally on the front of your big screen 5.3 inches which because of its contrast makes miss around the front like one piece stands out, but the part we do not like so much and which Sony has not thought change, are the thick frames, but hey, hopefully this will change in the future, for now here's a particularly large space above and below.
In the top frame we have the Sony logo on the sides facing camera and ambient light sensor, and just above the earpiece, which has in its interior with LED notifications. And in the bottom frame, a large space that has more utility than do the larger team.
Screen
We arrived at one of the most important elements in a smartphone, the screen itself has a resolution to 720p with a very good transmission, vivid colors without saturation and contrast that shows us very deep blacks and real whites without loaded into a specific color.The brightness range is also very good quality outdoor showing, the detail is that the low resolution on such a large screen makes colors with high brightness and wash suffer, seeing in these circumstances muted colors and lack of definition.
The advantage here is undoubtedly the size, which gives us a very good space for content of all kinds as well as share, and remember that the team is not as big as it seems and it is very thin and lightweight, making it makes it very functional and easy to wear and share.
Yield
The overall performance is good to dry, can not argue much as this team is primarily focused on those who like a big screen and a great design, but not be neglected altogether performance, since navigation through menus and other screens is smooth and switching between applications.The problem comes when we want to open multiple applications, or we open one that requires much processing power, because here we will see how our Xperia T3 begins to suffer, but if ours are open social networks, read emails and activate the camera from the lock screen and take a picture immediately, then we will not have any problems.
Camera
I must confess that after the bad taste left me camera Xperia M2 and know that the sensor is the same as we have in the Xperia T3 I thought we'd be back to poor results, but what is my surprise to see it here and was improved much results because improved processing untreated completely correct decision is provided.This is how we live colors, good definition and detail especially in lit exterior, since as is customary in most smartphones cameras in low light conditions you suffer from noise and really poor shots.
We also have the automatic mode does an excellent job of looking at the area and capture almost always with good exposure and the HDR function which is also built-in video recording, we throw good results both in photos and video, because it fails to capture and process the three exposures into a single form by other satisfactory.
Finally, I have to emphasize that the dedicated camera button does an excellent job, both to activate the camera immediately making it ready to capture, as well as the focus function, a function that saves us be touching the screen because here almost always choose a good point of focus to show a scene with good color quality and detail.
Software
I've said many causes and this is no exception, Sony on Android keeps getting better with time, his cloak of customization is extremely light and very colorful, which makes us to a feature very highlighted in Sony equipment, thus giving identity.On the other hand we already feature suite of Sony applications, which will help us to have features not available on any other smartphone and we will make the most out of our team, where of course the camera is the one that gets benefits in burst transmission in Youtube or Facebook, augmented reality, timelapse, pictures with audio and a new retouching selfies that works great shots and third party applications which are still growing and adding the Sony ecosystem.
Autonomy
But like everything could not be perfect, we come to the critical point Xperia T3, the battery life, seeing that we have a 5.3-inch screen HD was assumed that the battery capacity was increased to provide good autonomy nope, here it was decided to optimize the software and hardware, but the result was not ideal.In the first test I made during my day with average use, the team arrived just 10 hours, where I had the option to enable the Stamina mode and take a few hours with what came to 18 hours, but by making an intensive testing constantly transmitting video via Miracast to a TV screen while I was on T3 Xperia maximum brightness, the autonomy came just three hours. As we see, here our charger or a laptop battery will be our constant companions.
The opinion of Engadget
Definitely the Sony Xperia T3 is a great team, has an exquisite design that will steal glances where your big screen stands out from the rest, but still manageable in size, we see Sony knows how to work on the plastic finishes and offers and details that make it a great choice for those looking design and large screen without spending much money or make the jump to a phablet.The weak points are definitely the battery and not being able to use fluently applications that require a lot of power, but as mentioned, if you are someone looking for a 4G LTE equipment to use social networks, listen to music online, one another simple game, post and take lots of pictures and then share them, then this team is for you, but also the design you like and do not want to invest a lot, then a fortiori the Xperia T3 is a great choice for large screen devices but are not bulky or impossible to use.
