Sony Xperia Z3 Review

Dual SIM D6633 (D6633)     See other variants reviews Score: 75.9 / 100

Sony Xperia Z3 is a very complete device released some years ago, in 2014, which features a high speed 2500 MHz Quad-Core processing unit, a good size 5.2-inches multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 20.7 megapixels back facing camera and a 2.2 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

Sony decided to power this cellphone using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 8974-AC system chip, packing an exceptional 2.5 GHz Quad-Core processing unit and a large 3 GB RAM memory. To collaborate with graphic calculations, this cellphone also counts with an Adreno 330 graphic processing unit clocking at 450 MHz. The Sony Xperia Z3 comes with anice 16 GB internal memory and a slot for an external memory card, allowing you to install a couple hundred applications and games without any trouble.

The Sony Xperia Z3 is sold in three colors, black, brown and white. Whereas this phone just has 5.75 inches long and 2.83" wide, it still manages to contain a 5.2 inches display. This phone is extremely slim and practical, with a thickness of just 0.29". Sony did an amazing job making this device weight only 5.36 oz.

The Sony Xperia Z3 has two cameras, a 20.7 MP back-facing camera and a 2.2 MP front side camera. this cellphone's back-facing camera lens has a f/2 aperture so it can take impressive photos even in dark environments. It is also able to shoot 4K 3840x2160 videos at 30 frames per second, and HD 1280x720 slow motion videos up to 120 frames per second. The camera also counts with a high number of useful characteristics: flash, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, smile detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.

Sony packed the Sony Xperia Z3 with a completely amazing 5.2" screen, and a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, which makes everything look beautiful and brightful. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a vivid 592 candela/m2 brightness and allows multi-touch gestures.

The Sony Xperia Z3 provides WiFi connectivity (and it can be provided to other devices around, acting as a wireless modem), 4G (LTE) high speed connectivity and also HSPA+ connection type, a bit slower 4G technology and fast 3G connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone has two Nano SIM cards so it's able to work with two different phone lines.

This cellphone also comes with a handful of cool features like NFC, Bluetooth (for communication with other devices and accessories) and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This cellphone uses an amazing 3100 mAh non-removable battery providing the Sony Xperia Z3 a great battery life. This device has a reported stand by time of 920 hours and a talk time of 16 hs according to Sony. An issue to take into consideration is that this cellphone's battery is non-removable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to live shorter, though with its 3100 mAh you will probably buy a new phone before that becomes a real problem.

The Sony Xperia Z3 costs $ 170, which is quite the same as other similar cellphones. The Sony Xperia Z3 is probably a great choice for you no matter whether you are looking for a cellphone for work, want a device for playing games, want this cellphone to take lots of pictures or need a phone to mainly use social networks and internet browsing.
