Slimmer build, Great media options, More power
Only incremental upgrades, Loads of pre-installs, Disappointing battery
So where does this leave the Sony Xperia Z3+? In many ways it's a great handset, with a lovely design and some nice extras that you won't find on its competitors. Its media playing capabilities are a particular highlight, and if you're happy to go wit...
The Xperia Z3+ is a perfectly competent handset, but it lacks that special something to justify its premium 'plus' status. It wouldn't be so bad if the Xperia Z3 was no longer on sale, but the fact you can now pick one up for £400 SIM-free or £33.50-per-m...

The Xperia Z3+ is easily the worst in the current line-up of flagship smartphones. It offers very few improvements over the Z3 and some things, like the camera and screen, have even regressed. But its biggest problem is Sony's apparent inability to tame a...

While the Sony Xperia Z3+ is a great-looking bit of kit, its mediocre battery life, software quirks and of course its serious overheating issue makes it one to avoid...

Decent 5.2-in screen, slender build, waterproof and dustproof, generally smooth software experience
Gets too hot, battery therefore insignificant, camera overheats and is approximately useless, laggy video recording, fussy shortcut controls
From the lofty highs of the Z3, the Xperia Z3+ is, ironically, a big minus against Sony's Z-series. It's hotted things up in terms of design, but also all too literally: that Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor gets excessively hot, causing issues wit...
Super-punchy screen, Purer design, Good performance
Prone to overheating, Worse battery life than Z3, No particularly exciting upgrades
It's a bit familiar, it's ‘more of the same' Where the LG G4 and Samsung Galaxy S6 were bold steps forward for their respective series, the Sony Xperia Z3+ is more like the HTC One M9 in its familiarity. Changes to the outer design are welcome, but insi...
