The Sony Xperia Z3 packs great battery life, a brilliant display, beautiful design and waterproof features. If you own a PS4, you'll also be able to play PS4 games remotely on your phone
The UI can use updating -- all the icons just look way too big. While it may have a 20.7-megapixel camera, autofocus can be a little off, but nothing a quick tap on the screen can't fix
The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's most formidable to date with a formidable display and promising features that easily give Android competition from HTC, LG and Samsung a run for their money....
The Z3 took me by surprise. It's the first Sony phone that grabbed my interest since the K800i and even though I've only had for a few days, I feel I've exhausted all exploration efforts to find the stuff it can and can't do for how I want to use a sma...

Nicest design on the market, Impressive camera experience, Stunning display, Unique PlayStation implementation
Not a major update over the Z2, Isn't particularly well future-proofed, Camera results vary, Battery isn't quite as good as promised
If it isn't clear, we're just as bowled over by the Xperia Z3 as we were by its compact little brother. The big caveat is that as it shares so much of its hardware with its predecessor, it may not have the longevity of other devices hitting the market lik...

Thin and stylish waterproof body, Bright display with excellent outdoor visibility, Very good battery life, Good pictures and video quality
Comparatively large for the display size, Very inaccurate screen colors in default mode, Hollowsounding earpiece
At first read, one might scoff at the seemingly modest Xperia Z3 upgrades against its Z2 predecessor. We are kind of liking Sony's approach, though, as it allows the company to stay on top of the bi-annual Android cycle of spring-fall flagships, while exp...
Abstract: “The Sony Xperia Z3's primary snapper is a delight in more ways than one”Going by the much-hyped megapixel wars, Sony upped the ante with the 20-meg shooter in its Xperia Z1 a while ago. Two flagships later, it's still the king in this aspect, but we all...
Lovely, elegant looks, Waterproof, Blazinglyfast performance, Useful software features and tons of tweaks, Loaded camera, with very good imaging capabilities, Excellent battery life,
Runs hot, especially while shooting 4K video, Doesn't come cheap
Let's get this out of the way first – if you're a Sony Xperia Z2 owner already, an upgrade to the Z3 isn't warranted. However, the new device has enough to make you envious, and we'll understand if you want to throw vitriol at Sony for coming up with an o...

Color shading is visible in some outdoor and lowlight pictures, Flare is noticeable in sunny backlit shots, Color shading appears when mixing flash and tungsten light sources
Abstract: I'm here to tell you why the Sony Xperia Z3 & Z3 Compact are two of the most underrated Android phones currently available. In the smartphone market, at least in North America (and especially in the US), Sony can't seem to catch a break. Its Xperia range...
