Rating
It suffers from a worrying overheating issue
The battery life doesn't impress and the camera software is awkward to use
Average performance for the class, A big step back for battery life, Probably less compelling than its predecessor
Many have scoffed at the seemingly benign upgrades between Sony Xperia Z device revisions, somewhat rightfully criticizing Sony for rushing to update its flagship handsets twice a year. And as far as incremental, insignificant upgrades go, the Xperia Z3+...
Strong battery life compared to to other 2015 flagships, Mostly stock Android with thoughtful additions that genuinely help, rather than get in your way, No port cover for the microUSB port makes this a waterproof phone that's still easy to use day-to-day
The magnetic charging port (which is really quick to charge) from earlier models has been thrown out, making previous accessories like docks and cables useless, Washed out display with a few ghosting issues here and there, is no better than previous Xperi
Comparing the Xperia Z3+ to other 2015 flagships is perhaps not the best idea, but it is vying for customers that are also considering the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, the HTC One M9, the LG G4 and perhaps even the OnePlus 2. In the face of all of the...
Great design, build quality and removed micro USB cap from earlier models, IP68 certified – water and dust resistant, Flawless display quality, The camera app offers great possibilities, modes and options, Good overall performance
Way worse battery life compared to last generation, Poor camera performance with Superior Auto (which is believed to be the most commonly used mode), Overheating issue of the Snapdragon 810
We are again presented with great build quality and design. Maybe not so practical as the glass on the back is slippery and the thin profile makes it uncomfortable to hold and operate with one hand. However, most users will not notice this as much. On the...
Excellent software integration with various Sony services, Playstation remote play, Hi-Res Audio, Expandable Storage, IP Certification with exposed ports
Heat from SD 810, Glass back, Extremely slippery
The Sony Xperia Z3+ is a great smartphone in its own right, but unfortunately proves to be nothing more than an incremental update when compared to its predecessor, with the highlight being a change in the processing package to keep up with the times. Tha...

Nice design, Good cameras, Decent battery runtimes, Great connectivity, Good WiFi range, Very good phone acoustics, Expandable storage, Great sound features, OTG-adaptor provided
High SAR value, Thicker than advertised, Surface temperatures under load, Display dims itself, Small build quality issues, Camera turns off due to overheating, SoC throttles heavily, Slow microSD slot
In Review Sony Xperia Z3+. Test model courtesy of Sony Germany.The Sony Xperia Z3+ really raises the question of whether there was any quality control for the smartphone and if it was ever used under real conditions. The sometimes-serious overheating prob...
A decent camera, but no rival to LG, Samsung or Apple, Thermal issues, particularly in the camera app, Battery life a regression from the original Z3, Fingerprinty factoryfitted screen protector
When the Xperia Z4 emerged in Japan, many critics and fans hoped that Sony would have something different — something better — to offer to international buyers. Unfortunately that's not the case with the Xperia Z3+, and what we have here is a phone that's...

Updated interfaces, a swift 64-bit SoC and improved cameras are the pros of Sony's Xperia Z3+. Unfortunately, that will likely affect the battery life, and the build of our review sample was not impeccable, either.The heat issue will unlikely only extend...
Overheating problems, Short battery life for video
Sony's Xperia Z3+ isn't an essential upgrade if you already own the Xperia Z3 or even the Xperia Z2, with just a slight tweaking of the specs and a couple of new features to boast of. Those heating issues are also very real and concerning, especially when...

Good overall exposure, Good white balance and pleasing colors in most situations, Good detail preservation and low noise in both outdoors and lowlight conditions, Fast and accurate autofocus in bright lighting conditions, With flash: good detail preservat
Strong color shading visible in outdoor conditions, Slight difference of sharpness noticeable between the center and the corners, Slight color fringing and ringing noticeable, Flash mixed with Tungsten illuminant: some white balance inaccuracies with red
Abstract: Samsung also took this opportunity to take the curved edge concept from the Note Edge a step further and put it on both sides. Although it adds little to functionality, no one can deny it is certainty neat to look at, especially as content falls off the s...
