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...

      I am happy with my Z3, Excelent camera apps, battery life 2 days with normal usage (of course stamina mode) and Miracast conectivity works great with my smart tv. Sometimes I washed it and nothing bad happened. I have it for ten months.

        I bought myself an Xperia Z3 for Christmas, after a few months the screen detached on the top side...went to the Sony, they gave me another Z3. After 3 months the same thing happened. Went back to Sony and gave me another Z3. With this one after another 3 months the screen started to shut down after 3 seconds. Went back to Sony and I am waiting to receive another one....and I will sell this Z3 because I had enought....My conclusion is that Sony makes shitty phones...I'm never going to buy a Sony phone again....never!

                  This is the worst phone I have ever had, I put it on my couch and 10 minutes later the touch didn't work any more, I went with the phone I fixed, after 3 months it broke again. My friend fixed for me again ( total is cost 300 pounds - reparation ) and now it broke again. Beside it I can't take video more than a few minutes, it got hot and turn off the camera. It has good specification but I don't recommend it.

                    I bought a Sony from Autopage Cellular and was very impressed with the Phone . Unfortunately the inevateble happened and my phone ended up in the water , and was found after a few minutes . The working wasnt affected innitially bit later stopped working . It was taken to Autopage to be send for servicing but returned with reply that it was BER , beyond economical repair due to water damage . This is an IP68 registered phone and should be fixed by the manufacturer .What am i to do

                      How do you get emojis displayed on this phone? All I've got are symbols. Many thanks if someone could tell me how.

                        Very disappointed with the Z3. Phone gets hot and battery drains very fast even under normal usage. I don't know what to do with it.

                                      I got a Sony Z3 after I had a Lumia 820. The Sony is an amazing phone and the user-friendliness is similar to Nokia (which one of the reasons why they became big initially).

                                      But, sadly this 20MPix camera sucks. The quality of the photos do not come close to the Lumia's. It is actually shocking. With the flash on teh pictures are overexposed on the one side.

                                      The auto setting is not good and just as many reviews state, it is better to use the manual setting. Unfortunately you cannot leave it on manual.

                                      Linking up this phone to the VW Polo MIB radio (the large touch screen), you cannot browse your music on the phone via the radio. I could do this with teh Nokia.

                                      I am a Sony fan, but I must say for teh price tag I am disappointed.
