Today, Sony announced a new flagship to join the company’s Xperia family. The device is named Sony Xperia Z4 in its home ground Japan. For the rest of the world, this exact same smartphone will be known as Xperia Z3 Plus. The company also revealed Xperia Z3+ launch date to be in June. The device features 5.2-inch Full HD LCD.

The Xperia Z3 Plus looks pretty much similar to the previous Xperia Z3 in terms of design. However, the biggest innovations this time come from the inside.

The new smartphone is still waterproof, as to keep the selling point of Sony’s recent devices. Interestingly, the Xperia Z3+ USB port no longer requires a flap to protect it from water. Sounds very convenient and high-tech, doesn’t it?

Xperia Z3 Plus: Sony’s evolution to the Z3 family

Sony calls the Z3+ “an evolution to the Z3 family” for a bunch of reasons. First, Xperia Z3+ camera remains the same great 20.7MP we loved of the Xperia Z3. But the front shooter was upgraded to 5MP and 25mm wide angle lens. This is to catch up with what the selfie-loving trendy demand from recent smartphones.

Second, the phone still features  premium aluminum-framed body and fancy design, typical of Sony smartphones that consumers love. To make it even slimmer, Sony Xperia Z3 Plus (aka Xperia Z4) thickness is reduced from 7.3mm to 6.9mm.

Finally, the processor has been upgraded to the newer Snapdragon 810 with Adreno 430 graphics. There’s also 3GB of RAM on board.

However, with the thinner body, Sony Xperia Z3 Plus battery life is reduced from 3,100 mAH to 2,900 mAH. Not too impressive compared to Lenovo K80 or other smartphones with huge battery life. But 2,900 mAH is still NOT a bad capacity for a smartphone at all.

Xperia Z3 Plus flagship comes in 4 colours – Black, White, Copper and updated Aqua Green. It is expected to go on sale globally next month in June. However, there is no trace of any official Xperia Z3 Plus price tag yet.
