Sony Xperia Z3 Review

Sony Xperia Z3 is an incredibly powerful Android cellphone launched many years ago, featuring a very powerful Quad-Core CPU running at 2500 megahertz, a comfortable 5.2-inches multi-touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 20.7 megapixels back side camera and a 2.2 MP front facing camera. Let's take a deeper view of what this cellphone can do.

The Sony Xperia Z3 is thin and comfortable, with a thickness of just 0.29". This cellphone is quite a compact device, given that it has a 5.2" screen and it has just 5.75" long and 2.83 inches wide. This phone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone this size. Sony sells the Sony Xperia Z3 in a wide range of colors like black, brown, green and white.

This phone ships with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 8974-AC chip, holding a high performance Quad-Core processing unit running at 2500 megahertz with a big 3 GB RAM memory. Graphic intensive applications and games usually eats lots of processing time, so the Sony Xperia Z3 also has an additional Adreno 330 graphics processing unit speeding at 450 megahertz to take care of them, leaving the processor free for other tasks. A nice advantage of the Sony Xperia Z3 is its quite big 16 GB internal storage and a slot for an SD memory card, allowing the user to install a couple hundred apps without worrying about space.

This phone has two cameras, a 20.7 MP back side camera and a 2.2 megapixels front-facing camera. this phone's back side camera lens has a f/2 aperture so it can shoot great pictures even in poor lighting environments. This cellphone can also shoot 3840x2160 4K videos at 30 fps, and HD 1280x720 slow-motion videos at 120 fps. To complete the camera, it also features a high number of great characteristics like auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, fast burst mode, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.

Sony equipped the Sony Xperia Z3 with a incredible 5.2" screen, and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD), making everything look absolutely perfect. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a vivid 592 candela/m2 brightness and allows multi-touch gestures.

This cellphone features wi-fi connection (and it can be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high speed internet connection and also HSPA+ data connection, a slower 4G variation and 3G fast internet connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a Nano SIM card to use GSM services.

This phone comes with a huge 3100 mAh non-removable battery that provides this phone an incredibly long battery duration. Sony afirms this phone has a talk time of 14 hours and a stand by time of 890 hs. An issue to take into consideration is that the Sony Xperia Z3's battery isn't removable so you can't change it when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, although having 3100 mAh you will probably buy a new device before that becomes a real problem.

The Sony Xperia Z3 also includes a few interesting characteristics such as NFC, Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

The Sony Xperia Z3 is being sold for about 170 dollars, quite the same as other same level cellphones. It doesn't matter whether you are looking for a phone for work, are looking for a phone to mostly use social networks and internet browsing, will use it as a gaming cellphone or love photography, this cellphone is definitely the correct choice .
