Sony announced Xperia Z3, its latest Android Flagship, becoming 3rd flagship within span of one year.
Look at the specs and you’ll see just another top of the line android smartphone: 5.2-inch 1080p display, 3GB RAM, a 20.7-megapixel camera and waterproofing, rounded aluminum frame, 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, expandable sdcard.
But Xperia Z3 is really shines at few things, lets go over them:
6. Amazing design & colors
Xperia Z series is all about Glass and aluminium: high quality build which feels premium.
Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3s will come in amazing colors, good quality materials, and yet only 7.3mm thick.
5. Power saving, yet Brightest Display
Sony has improved its existing TRILUMINOUS technology using a blue LED backlight and larger red and green subpixels to dramatically boost the colour gamut and energy efficiency of the smartphone’s display.
Also, Sony claims to have adapted the display refresh rate to increase battery life further.
Xperia Z line of phones have the brightest displays in the market, giving them the highest visibility outdoors and in sunlight.
4. Two Days of practical Battery life
I own Xperia Z1 with 3000mAh battery and consistently lasts 1.5 days with typical usage, Z2 upped it to 3100mAh, Z3 is 3200mAh with specs and display that consume less power than older generations, it would easily give you 2 days of normal operation.
3. High Resolution Audio
That claim might have come from various smartphone manufacturers like LG (with Optimus 2x onwards, and Galaxy Note 3). But truth be told they’ve been dissapointing. Sony had already been using a good quality DAC and Amp for its outgoing Xperia Z1, Z2 and with Z3 they are taking it to the next level.
Android audiophiles rejoice:
i. DSEE HX audio upscaling technology to improve the quality of compressed music i.e. MP3
ii. Digital noise cancelling that cuts out nearly all ambient sound
iii. High quality 24bit 96khz DAC – True to life DAC that will deliver pure sound.
2. PS4 Remote Play
Your PS4 console will detect your Z3 device over WiFi and unlock it, letting you play games on a Dualshock4 wireless controller just like PS Vita does today. But form Z3 devices you’ll need the new GCM10 Game Control Mount. On top of playing games, you’ll also be able to use a Z3 device as a second screen device to watch game streams or chat over the Playstation Network.
Sony kept it exclusive to Xperia Z3 devices (phone, tablet) but who knows if someone ports it to other Xperias or even Androids.
1. A Super smartphone Camera
Xperia Z1 and Z2 already had the best smartphone camera on Android. The 20.8MP camera with F2.0 aperature could take brilliant shorts in low light without flash. They’re making it even better:
i. Wide-angle 25mm lens – You can now click wider shots, bringing more into field of view.
ii. Higher ISO: ISO (camera sensitivity to lowest light) has been increased from ISO 3200 (on Z1, Z2) to 12,800 on Z3. That’s 4x times more light sensitivity. No other smartphone comes even close.

Plus the Z3 compact has BT-aptx (non Z3), works well with my Nad d3020 B&W 685S2.
