Amazing battery life

Great display

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

Fantastic battery life, High-quality finish, Great camera
Software feels a little dated
I'll be honest and say that while I know intellectually that the Z1 and Z2 were good phones, they weren't my cup of tea. But there's something about the Z3 that makes it the first Xperia phone I'd be happy to own. As of this writing, my daily driver is an...
Abstract: Sony nailed it. Twice.We call it battery life because it is vital.Without it, e-readers wouldn't be so popular, electric cars wouldn't threaten gas guzzlers, and smartphones would never have taken over as the primary computing device in people's lives. Ba...

Two great smartphones toward the top of the tree, if you are an Apple fanboy you will wish to stay iTunes and the App Store. Fandroids will swear by the Sony on this one. Unusually, Apple is marginally cheaper, but the Xperia Z3 is ahead on almost all qua...

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...
