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
Slick
But ergonomic design
Amazing battery life
PlayStation 4 Remote Play is the definition of killer app
Great display

Impressively slim and lightweight
Solid everyday performance
The editors didn't like
Not a big step forward again
Overlay still a bit unintuitive
That waterproof isn't infallible. I have drowned a Z3. Fortunately
It was replaced immediately at no cost
Lack of Qi charging is an annoyance for a waterproof phone
So it's either fiddly port covers
Or magnetic charging docks
Some features are annoyi
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
Camera prone to overheating
Very similar to the Xperia Z2
Rare flagship without IR transmitter
No finger scanner
Very
Very slippery -- it fell off our desks several times! Can get a little hot

The international version of Xperia Z3 is available on Amazon for around $635. This is a good phone but you might pick the Xperia Z2 instead because they are very similar and there is no remarkable upgrade in the new generation...
There's no doubt in my mind that the Xperia Z3 is Sony's best chance to win over American consumers. It's a solid device through-and-through. It's well designed, well made, and has a great mix of features that should appeal to media-minded users. The scre...
Great looking hardware. Snappy processor and plenty of RAM make the Z3 a speed demon. Shoots 4K video. Waterproof up to 5 feet
Glass back makes it a fingerprint magnet—and a slippery one at that. I dropped and shattered mine. Finicky camera produces inconsistent photos. Stability issues aplenty. Mystifying software choices, including pointless redesigns of great stock Android app
Abstract: As a Guy Who Reviews Tons of Android Devices (my official job title), I see a lot of forgettable phones. Phones that are fine but unremarkable -- that get the job done but fail to stand out or make any sort of meaningful lasting impression.I've written ab...
Sony has produced a decent camera in the new Z3, with some notable limitations. It's not the best camera on the smartphone market, but its overall performance is pretty good. If you don't want to invest in a second standalone camera, the Sony Xperia Z3 i...

Awesome battery life without sacrificing highend performance. Refined design is comfortable, stylish and waterproof. Fantastic display that's both crisp and vibrant. Familiar camera hardware is still pretty decent.
Frustrating app prevents the camera from reaching its true potential. Software feels bland and outdated compared to the competition.
The Z3 might not be a significant change-up of Sony's flagship Xperia formula, but the combination of a bunch of minor tweaks and upgrades has made this handset one of the best on the market. I'll start with the standout feature of this handset: its batt...
Slim, refined design. Dust- and water-resistant. Excellent camera. Long battery life. PS4 game streaming.
Wi-Fi could be faster. Sony and T-Mobile bloat
The slender, long-lasting Sony Xperia Z3 appears iterative, but delivers one of the most roundly excellent Android experiences on T-Mobile and features exclusive PlayStation 4 game streaming capability....

Sony has a limited presence in the US with most of its devices being sold either overseas or at the US Sony Store as unlocked models for AT&T and T-Mobile customers. Verizon just recently launched the Sony Xperia Z3v, which is a variation of the Z3 I boug...
Display: While it still has some of the odd Sony white cast at certain angles, the Z3's 1080p LCD is extremely bright with excellent contrast for something that isn't an AMOLED. It also has superb white balance, making the Note 4's QHD SAMOLED look dingy
Camera: Did you like the camera on the Xperia Z1 and Z2? Great! It's back. It's still not amazing. This is somewhat frustrating considering what great consumer mirrorless cameras Sony is making. There are just so many issues here, so read the full camera
The Xperia Z3 is one of the best Android phones you can currently buy. It's quite nice looking (even if the glass back is kind of a miss for me), performs well, and has battery life that puts it a cut above rivals like the One M8, Galaxy S5, and G3.That s...
