The editors liked
Great new design
Strong battery
PS4 Remote Play
That battery life
Though. Without Stamina mode
It easily lasts a day. With it
It could easily last two
Close to stock experience
With enough tweaks to make it more enjoyable
Effortless. Doesn't take long to set up and customise
Looks great. It's sl
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
Exceptional camera
Long battery
Water- and dust- proof
Glass and aluminium body
Lovely build and finish that fits nicely in the hands
Water and dust resistance at IP68 certification
Unlike the Z3 Compact
The sides actually fit in well
Boosting that water resistance
Great performance
Solid 4G speeds with Category 4 connectivity
Great twoday battery life
Screen is sharp and colourful
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

Solid build quality, fine screen, very powerful processor, waterproof and dust resistant, good camera, good battery life, 4G
Autofocus not as good as it should be, not cheap

The Sony Xperia Z3 is undoubtedly a decent and desirable smartphone but Z2 owners will have little reason to upgrade unless PS4 Remote Play or High-Res audio are must-haves. In terms of the wider market, the Z3 is up there with the best and a solid choice...

Battery life, great build, waterproofing, camera performance, powerful
Sony bloatware, still a little tall, design could be a little more seamless
Having criticised the earlier Xperia Z1 and the Z2 models, we feel like Sony has made the right moves in its latest handset. The Z3 gives you the design, the power, the display, the camera and importantly, the battery life. It's the flagship device...

Oooh it is thinner and… um. lighter. That is what most people who pick up the new Z3 will say. Beyond that there are few visible cues to the fact that they are holding a newer phone. For the phone aficionados (like us) we will pick up the obvious ch...
Great screen, Excellent camera, Marketleading battery life
Slippery, difficult to hold comfortably, Can overheat under stress, Feels like a small update over the Z2
A real stonker of a smartphone, the Sony Xperia Z3 is a top-end handset with looks, ergonomics and performance to match; it has a Full HD screen, quad-core processor, excellent camera, slim but sturdy design, and market-leading battery life. It may have ...
