Sony Xperia Z3 review: Hat trick

24 September 2014
To say we are eager to get the Xperia Z3 out for a spin would be a massive understatement – with the race track still warm from the Compact. After all, if the Robin in Sony’s IFA lineup can do that well, we can only imagine...

Iphone is nowhere near as good as xperia z3, nor photo,nor video...

Z3 is better than s5, alphas too...
Note4 is underwhelming from first tests, no help from OIS...although not on compare sheet yet

                    Very nice. Though only main changers are slimmer, better display, and better iso. Mostly same as Z2.
                    The S5 and Note 4 are still overall champs.
                    Though if the Note 4 was not around I would be getting the Z3 for something amazing and slightly different.

                            They should fix their lousy freezing lagging 20 mp camera first. Later they can talk and.brag about their.phones.
                            Sony z1 and z1 compact cameras have errors the camera keeps on freezing every time. When I wrote an email about this topic, they told me clear the cache! Or turn the phone to safe mode. They just don't want to accept the error. Instead of fixing the error with a little update, they.are. Insisting on not. You can also find tons of people complaining about the same thing. They are going to lose customers!

                                Here's a quick unbiased review(from my brother's z3)
                                Undoubtedly best looking smartphone i ever saw
                                outstanding display
                                the speaker volume is average,in fact slightly worse than the z2 but not bad at all.
                                camera is really amazing.only downside is high noise in some cases.overall best camera experience on a smartphone.
                                kind of expensive right now and z2/s5 is a better deal in my opinion.

                                        Xperia is a great line of phones, but the new iPhone 6+ camera kills my Xperia one.

                                        The 6+ is the new king of phone cameras.
