Just a few months after the launch of Z2, there’s already Sony Xperia Z3 which is about to be released in the market anytime soon. What are the improvements or new features that this upgrade has? Is it worth your while upgrading to this Z3?
Operating System and Hardware
As far as the operating system is concerned, Sony Xperia Z3 will run on Android 4.4 KitKat. The new phone will have Xperia Transfer application that allows users to move their music, photos and contacts from their older handsets to the Z3. Some of the main features of this device include the PS4 Remote Play that allows its user to play PS 4 games using their Z3 and the DSEE HX technology that enhances sound quality.
There are some slight improvements in the power section of the new Xperia with Z3 offering Snapdragon 801 quad core processor and 3GB RAM Memory. There’s a 2.5 GHz on this smartphone and you can store as much as 32 GB of data. If there’s a need to stretch the storage capacity, this device can take on a 128 GB memory card.
Display and Design
The screen size of the Sony Xperia Z3 is 5.2 inches, its resolution is 1080 x 1920 pixels and its pixel density is 424 ppi. Users are able to operate the display with 10 fingers at the same time. The design of this device is more or less the same with Z2 and the only difference is in the dimension of the smartphone because the Z3 is lighter and leaner. This phone weighs 152 grams and the dimensions are 146 x 72 x 7.35. Another significant improvement on this phone is its IP68 certification which makes the Z3 dust proof and water resistance to up to 1 meter.
Battery and Camera
Z3 takes pride of its 3100 mAh battery which normally last for two days but with approximately 14 hours of talk time and 890 hours on standby according to Sony’s statistics. Also, there’s STAMINA mode, which makes the device a lot more durable, can be used when the phone is on low battery to stretch its life. As for the phone’s camera, Sony has installed a new and improved 20.7 MP rear facing camera which is a whole lot better than other devices in the market. There’s SteadyShot technology as well which is used to capture videos of up to 4K resolution on the rear camera.
Based on the information on specs and features of the Sony Xperia Z3, it looks like there’s so much in store for its users who would choose to upgrade their phones from Z2. The price is still unknown at the moment though, and may be made available anytime soon.
