Sony Xperia Z3 – the latest model of the Xperia series.


Sony Xperia Z3

Elegant Design

In terms of appearance, the look of Xperia Z3 is not much different from Xperia Z2. It still has the same design, albeit a thinner (7.3 mm thick) and lighter (152 g) body. The front and back side of the phone are covered with tempered glass, and it offers four elegant colors for users to choose, among white, black, green and copper. The aluminum power key and volume button are on the right side, where there is a button for quick shortcut to the phone’s photo apps.

The phone has an aluminum frame around the sides, and it has rounded corners with nylon caps to endure physical pressure. All of these features give the phone a premium feel and touch.

Brighter screen for better viewing quality

Much like Z2, Sony Xperia Z3 has a 5.2’’ IPS display with the resolution of 1080 x 1920 p and pixel density of 424 ppi. Xperia Z3 has improved brightness and display luminosity. Sony says that the Xperia Z3 has the brightest display it has yet to release. Moreover, with Sony’s intuitive contrast enhancement technology, you can view sharp and vivid images even under the sunlight

The IPS panel allows users to view things in wider angles. The quality of images remains unchanged even when you change angle.

TRILUMINOS™ Display technology, which is unique to Sony devices, adds up a wider palette of rich and natural colors. Live Color LED also gives you the deepest, truest and the most intense shades of colors. You can now view and shoot photos without worrying about oversaturation.

Powerful processor underneath

Under the egelant look, Sony Xperia Z3 is equipped with a 2.5 GHz MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 quad core processor. It has Adreno 330 as the graphics processor and 3GB of RAM. You will enjoy “fast as lightning” speed when browsing, and the phone runs smoothly while multitasking. Moreover, the new Snapdragon chipset also ensures higher gaming graphic performance and processing speed of the camera.

There is either 16GB or 32Gb of internal storage on the Xperia Z3. Through the use of MicroSD card slot, you can extend to a more 128GB of storage

The high battery capacity of 3100mAh supports Xperia Z3 around two days without charging. However, under conditions this may vary. Users can activate Battery STAMINA mode to keep the battery last longer. Ultra STAMINA mode helps limit the phone to its core function – only calls and sms – when you are in a pinch of running out of power.

Better camera for your photography experience

What’s best on the Xperia Z3 lies in its camera. Being a 20.7MP camera with an f/2.3 aperture and optical image stabilization, it can produce sharp and vivid photos. Smooth, true-to-life details are maintained on the photos after taking.

Sony Xperia Z3 camera has a better low light performance in comparison with the previous Z2. Moreover, with larger sensor and ISO 12800, it has the highest ISO of any smart phone. Video recording of high resolution is also featured. You can now shoot precious moments in stunning 4K Ultra HD quality and play it on your TV.
Intelligent Active Mode also helps create smoother and more stable videos by estimating movements and analyzing frames.

Sony camera app provides you with countless features to make your photos more interesting and livelier. Face In captures both the objects and your reaction to them at the same time, creating a more enjoyable experience. AR fun lets you draw and doodles on photos. Movie Creator allows you to create videos. With Sony Xperia Z3, a wide range of camera apps are available for you to explore.

Connectivities

For data connection and networks, Sony Xperia Z3 supports 4G LTE 1700, 1900 and 2100 MHz as well as Wifi dual band, Bluetooth v4.0 and MHL…

You can also connect your Xperia Z3 to other Sony smart wear devices such as its smart watch. Sony Xperia Z3 enables you to play music from the phone on any NFC-based speaker or wireless headset. The one touch connectivity ensures you the speed of any task. Viewing photos from your phone on TV, sharing between devices … are also easier now.

Sony Xperia Z3 features PS4™ Remote Play which gives you access to your PS4 games anywhere at home. Users now can game anywhere they want, not just in the room where the console is. You need to have PS4 system and DUALSHOCK®4 controller to enable this feature though.

Great durability

And of course, you have to mention the waterproof feature of this phone. Sony Xperia Z3 is resistant to water and dust thanks to its impressive IP (Ingress Protection) 65/68 rating. You can use your phone literally in any kind of environment without worrying about damaging the phone too much.

The phone can be kept under 1.5 metres of fresh water for 30 minutes, and protection from tiny dust particles is also ensured. This means you can snap photos underwater, record videos while swimming up to 30 minutes without any problems. Just remember to cover all the ports of the Xperia Z3.

It is just 6 months since Z2 was released, but Sony Xperia Z3 is not a let down. Although the Z3 does not have many significant differences from its predecessor, it is a high end smart phone with a lot to offer.
