Sony Xperia Z3+ review: The pre-sequel

08 June 2015
The Sony Xperia Z3+ is the Japanese flagship we’ve all been anticipating, but is it really the one we’ve been hoping for? Or are the predictable chipset update and minor design touches simply a prelude to a proper upgrade later this year?

        HTC One M9 synthetic scores are wrong, after the 5.1 update the lowest I've got on AnTuTu was 54.5k, being 57k the top, sames goes for the rest of benchmarks. GSMArena should consider to update their info as new phones comes by and not stay with the outdated info.

            I've had my Z3+ for a week now. Works great under water. Gets very warm though. Esp when using camera. I have the 5.0.2 upgrade installed. Using camera often give me a message that the phone is getting warm and the app will soon close. After that the camera will not work for a while :(

            Also, takes forever to send a MMS if I've already just sent one.
