DxOMark Mobile report: Sony Xperia Z3+

The Xperia Z3+ is the international version of the Japan-only Xperia Z4. In the camera department, at least on paper, it's only a minor upgrade over the predecessor Xperia Z3. In fact, the main camera specification remains unchanged. A 1/2.3-inch...

Sony Xperia Z3+ receives processor boost to battle Galaxy S6 (hands-on)

With the Xperia Z3+ Sony has given its existing Z3 phone new spit and polish to help it spar with the smartphone top dogs.

Sony Xperia Z3 review: Refined design makes this Sony's most promising smartphone to date

Sony's Xperia Z3 hits all the right notes and delivers powerful performance in a beautiful, sleek design.

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.

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.

The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's most formidable to date with a formidable display and promising features that easily give Android competition from HTC, LG and Samsung a run for their money.

Sony Xperia Z3+ First Impressions

Underdeveloped. The spec sheet of Sony's new premium-range phone has quite a bit to offer. However, it exhibits some shortcomings in practice. For example, our review sample struggled with multiple small and big peculiarities that we did not expect.

Updated interfaces, a swift 64-bit SoC and improved cameras are the pros of Sony's Xperia Z3+. Unfortunately, that will likely affect the battery life, and the build of our review sample was not impeccable, either.

Sony Xperia Z3+ Review

The Sony Xperia Z4 is actually more of a Sony Xperia Z3+, complete with the same branding for markets outside Japan. Thus, we couldn't help, but wonder – has Sony's strategy of upgrading its flagship smartphones twice a year, incorporating incremental...

Looks great ; Very bright screen ; Competent camera

Average performance for the class ; A big step back for battery life ; Probably less compelling than its predecessor

Many have scoffed at the seemingly benign upgrades between Sony Xperia Z device revisions, somewhat rightfully criticizing Sony for rushing to update its flagship handsets twice a year. And as far as incremental, insignificant upgrades go, the Xperia...

Sony Xperia Z3 Plus review

We've been huge fans of Sony's Xperia Z series, and the Z3+ should have been another slam dunk phone. But massive overheating problems make this one to avoid. It's a shame, because in every other way, this is the best Sony smartphone ever.

We wanted to love the Z3+, but it's fatally flawed. While Sony has worked hard to perfect the design and specification of its flagship phone, the choice of the Snapdragon 810 and its resulting overheating and shutting-down problems has rendered all of...
