Should we be surprised that Sony is already refreshing its flagship smartphone? Only six months after the launch of the Xperia Z2 comes its successor, the Xperia Z3. Sony hopes this will help it gain traction in the notoriously fickle Android superphone market, and knows that there are customers who will only buy the latest and greatest model at any given point of time, for whom money is no object.
The Sony Xperia Z3 competes with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One (M8) and LG G3. We like the phone's design, which is a welcome change from what Sony stuck to through its last three generations. Despite its size, this phone is easy to hold and its weight is manageable. The specifications are of course top-end. We particularly appreciated the great battery life and excellent camera performance in low light. The Xperia Z3 is also resistant to dust and water. The software is bloated and the camera app especially has too much going on, but overall we really like what Sony has produced.
