Sony Xperia Z3 Overview
As confusing as it may sound, the Sony Xperia Z3 is actually the 4th Xperia Z handset to be launched, but as the 4th generation the Z3 brings with it a tried and tested feature set.
The Z3 has undergone some slight cosmetic improvements since the Z2 was launched. New softer curved edges adorn the Z3 making it look, and feel, that bit slimmer, and more comfortable in the palm.
It does not just feel slimmer; it actually is at 7.3mm as opposed to the 8.2 of the Z2. It has also lost a few grams, weighing in at 152g.
As our devices get more powerful one of the most important issues that smartphone users have been more vocal about is the battery performance. With the Z3 you will be getting a mammoth 3100mah battery that will see you right for music, snapping pictures and keeping up with your social media channels. Turn on Stamina Mode and you will be able to prolong the life of your battery up to 2 days, depending on what settings you choose.
Retaining the 5.2” full HD IPS display, Sony have worked tirelessly to improve the images you see on the screen. Aided by Triluminous and X-Reality technology for mobile the display on the Z3 is now better than ever.
For those who use their devices to snap away, the 20.7 megapixel camera, and the host of on board filters will leave you with stunning pictures, be they those special moments, or just the odd random events. At the front, the 2 megapixel camera will be perfect for annoying your friends with holiday selfies.
The rear camera records, not only in 1080p HD, but, also, 4K so you can be assured of capturing moments in the highest detail.
When it comes to playing back media, you can enjoy this on the HD display and audio will draw you in thanks to the two front facing stereo speakers, DSEE HX and Hi-Res Audio. If you prefer, you can even share media with a big screen thanks to MHL 3.0. Such connectivity means you can actually output the 4K recorded content to a 4K display.
Connect to the web using WiFi or 4G and even share you internet connection with other mobile devices thanks to the mobile hotspot feature.
16GB of internal memory should be enough for most of your apps and content, but a microSD memory card slots supports up to 128GB memory cards, so there should be plenty of space for all your digital content.
High end games and getting around the Sony Xperia Z3 will be that little bit smoother and easier to handle with a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor, and 3GB of RAM, that will keep you multitasking seamlessly between different apps.
For those gamers out there the Z3 continues to retain the PlayStation certification and is also capable of Remote Play with the PS4 for an even better mobile gaming experience.
One feature that Sony introduced on the Xperia Z was the ability to get it wet. We are not just talking a splash of water here either. In fresh water the Sony Xperia Z3 can take the plunge to a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes with the IP certification of 65/68. Dust will also be kept at bay, with the port covers closed, this also adds to the waterproofing of the Xperia Z3. Opening and closing the charging port is negated by the magnetic charging point, this can be used with the Sony Charging dock. Even the headphone jack is treated so that no water can get into the device.
All told the Z3 is a well rounded mobile device offering high end features and capabilities.
