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...

Love my z3 upgrade from the z1 I don't think I'd ever go back to Samsung or iPhone. By far the phones I've ever owned

      The phone seems fine however the battery drains far too quickly even with the Google apps turned off.

            The camera is much improved. Full resolution pictures are now the best and sharpest unlike before.
            It also brings all the new features on z3 apart from intelligent active mode.
            Upgrading to z3 from z2 is just such a waste of money. You must be loaded mate!

I've read "a few" user experiences about that happening with the Z2, that's why I didn't get it myself. Or that and quiet audio output volume compared to my HTC One M8.

                                  They released Z2 just like 5 months ago.
