It comes with a 8-megapixel rear camera Sony Exmor RS sensor, LED flash and 1080p video recording and a 1.1-megapixel HD front-facing camera.

The smartphone is just 7mm thick, slightly thinner than the Xperia T2 Ultra that was released recently. This is the world’s slimmest smartphone with a 5.3-inch display, says Sony. It has a stainless steel frame and an aluminum power button. It comes in both 3G HSPA+ (D5102) and 4G (D5103 and D5106) variants.

The Sony Xperia T3 comes in Black, White and Purple colors and would launch globally from the end of July 2014. Sony has not announced the pricing yet.
 

The mid-range market continues to expand into larger and larger handsets, and Sony doesn't want to be left behind. To that end, they've announced the Xperia T3, a 5.3-inch Android phone with an awesome industrial design, but internals that will leave hardware buffs wanting more. The star of the show is an all-steel body that's admirably thin at just 7mm. It will be available globally in late July.

Move past the admittedly pretty body (available in white, black, or purple), and you'll see hardware that's shooting for the bottom of the mid-range. First, the large "Triluminous" LCD screen is only 720p, meaning it will be noticeably less sharp (227 PPI) than most of the other phones at that size. Inside is a 1.4Ghz quad-core processor with just 1GB of RAM, a paltry 8GB of storage space plus MicroSD card slot, and a 2500mAh non-removable battery, which is impressive given the skinny body. The rear camera and front-facing cam are 8MP and 1.1MP, respectively. Don't look for any of the water resistance found on the more high-end Sony models.

Software is KitKat with Sony's usual additions, mostly focused on various camera tricks and the company's gaming and media empire. The phone is a looker, to be sure, as are most Sony designs. That and the large screen could mean good sales, if the price is appropriate for the mediocre hardware. We'll see when it comes to market.

They could have gone for the Qualcomm 600 atleast . Basically, these are quad-core versions of the Snapdragon 400 but include the faster Adreno 320 GPU .
