The Xperia Z3, though, marks a big comeback for Sony in the US market. Sure, T-Mobile got the Z1s earlier this year, but it was months behind the original Z1's IFA launch back in 2013. By the time the Z1s was available on T-Mobile, the Z2 had been announc...
Good Display: While it still has some of the odd Sony white cast at certain angles, the Z3's 1080p LCD is extremely bright with excellent contrast for something that isn't an AMOLED. It also has superb white balance, making the Note 4's QHD SAMOLED look dingy...
Bad Camera: Did you like the camera on the Xperia Z1 and Z2? Great! It's back. It's still not amazing. This is somewhat frustrating considering what great consumer mirrorless cameras Sony is making. There are just so many issues here, so read the full camera...
Bottom line The Xperia Z3 is one of the best Android phones you can currently buy. It's quite nice looking (even if the glass back is kind of a miss for me), performs well, and has battery life that puts it a cut above rivals like the One M8, Galaxy S5, and G3.That s...

Sony nailed it. Twice.We call it battery life because it is vital.Without it, e-readers wouldn't be so popular, electric cars wouldn't threaten gas guzzlers, and smartphones would never have taken over as the primary computing device in people's lives. Ba...

It seems like just yesterday I was sitting at my desk, new phone in hand, typing out my review of the Xperia Z2. It was Sony's flagship that many of us thought would take the company through to the end of 2014, yet here I am, not even six months later, re...
Good Awesome battery life without sacrificing highend performance. Refined design is comfortable, stylish and waterproof. Fantastic display that's both crisp and vibrant. Familiar camera hardware is still pretty decent.
Bad Frustrating app prevents the camera from reaching its true potential. Software feels bland and outdated compared to the competition.
Bottom line The Z3 might not be a significant change-up of Sony's flagship Xperia formula, but the combination of a bunch of minor tweaks and upgrades has made this handset one of the best on the market. I'll start with the standout feature of this handset: its batt...

The Sony Xperia Z3 was announced in September 2014 as the follow-up to the Z2. It features a 20.7 million pixel 1/2.3 inch EXMOR RS sensor - which is the same size (both in terms of physical size and pixel count) as many compact cameras. While the Z2 had...
Bottom line Sony has produced a decent camera in the new Z3, with some notable limitations. It's not the best camera on the smartphone market, but its overall performance is pretty good. If you don't want to invest in a second standalone camera, the Sony Xperia Z3 i...

The Xperia Z3 is best approached from a Sony-centric way of thinking. First and foremost, it is one of the finest phones ever made by Sony. The Z3 is a powerful device in its own right, but it is also just a cog in the larger Sony ecosystem. If you like...
Bottom line There's no doubt in my mind that the Xperia Z3 is Sony's best chance to win over American consumers. It's a solid device through-and-through. It's well designed, well made, and has a great mix of features that should appeal to media-minded users. The scre...

Sony's mobile devices are easy to overlook, at least in the U.S. It's no secret the company has found it difficult to compete against mounting competition, and even by its own admission, it isn't doing so hot in the mobile space, nor does it expect to in...

I bought a Sony Xperia Z2 from Handtec back in May and thought it was the phone for me. While it was great, the rumors of a Z3 kept me from keeping it. Now that I have spent a week with the new T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z3, I am extremely pleased I waited for...

It's fair to say the Xperia Z3 is only a minor upgrade to the only recently released Z2. In terms of camera specification both are very similar, featuring a 20.7Mp rear camera, together with a 2.2Mp front camera and 1080p video capture for those all-impor...
