    The phone is Very slippery. The speakers are not loud enough. The remote play works very well but only over Wi-Fi if you play a lot of PlayStation 4. It's a good thing it's waterproof because my Z3 Plus heats up so much after a few minutes of basic usage like watching videos or remote playing that it wants to shut off so I have to put it in a glass of ice water to cool it down. For some reason the model I have did not have Wi-Fi calling as a feature. I contacted Sony and I updated the software via PC & USB method, this did not fix any of the overheating problems I am having. I have had the phone for less than a week in the bottom half of the touch screen has began to malfunction. When the phone works it's fantastic the screen is great the camera features are awesome but it barely lasted a week. I bought it brand new. Sony told me they could not help me because they said the phone was stolen which is not true. I'm going back to my Samsung or Motorola phones which is too bad because I really wanted to like this phone there is a lot of great things about it

                  I have this phone for one yer now bought him for second hand
                  So pros are
                  Still good looking but maybe outdated desing
                  Very good screen good colors, sharp,movies looks amazing on this screen in my opinion still in pair with any newer midranger
                  Great baterry, I have almost 5 hours sot with 4g network and battery is more than 4 years old, superb battery one off best batterys ever produced
                  One off the best sound quality i ever heard, song on earphones sounds amazing
                  No slowing down in speed every day is the same speed off opening apps and others like first day
                  Still can play demanding games like asphalt real racing 3 darknes rises on higer settings and pubg on lower settings
                  Camera is very good on sunny days

                  Cons
                  Speakers are to low in volume
                  Top speaker are producing cracling sound when music is put on 100% but not to much on 80
                  Screen has develop white spots only seen on grey or white background
                  He is slipi, build quality is good but to soft so he needs case or protection
                  Camera is bad in low light
                  Somtimes overheats on demanding games and opening web pages
                  Scrolling is sometimes stucking but mostly in g play store and chrome
                  Not good reception off 3g signal but 4g works very good
                  Overal i can recomend this phone if somebody can buy this for cheap, and this phone needs case and protection because it fall out of pocket very easy
                  Good phone

Either pay to get it repaired or get a new phone, it's that simple ! My Z3 still works like a charm, fast web browsing, never over heats, still takes great pictures & videos. I have lots of Sony products, a digital amp, subwoofer, PS4, 2 bluray players, digital camera and the Z3. I have never had a problem with any of them. So as I stated above you just got a Lemon...

                              I have a Sony Xperia Z3 and it tuned out a dead junk after 1 year use. It dead suddenly and I tried more than 50 methods posted on line and even chatted with three Sony mobile supports on line. Nothing could bring it to alive and they asked me to send to support center but on my own cost. What a garbage.

                                Absolutely gutted! After 4 months i dropped it 30cm and it died. Packed in leather case. Dropped onto carpet and red battery display!? Would not switch on, would not charge. Tried sony uk mob phone live chat which was great. Suggested downloading xperia software onto my pc and all fine with usb cable connected! Software tried repairing, resetting etc for 20 mins but no good. Sony uk suggested repairing it free of charge but had no spare parts left since old model! Crazy. Tried replacing battery as a last resort snd litterally impossible since lid glued, bonded together. Not supposed to remove battery. Did notwork. Gave up bouvht new simfree Samsung s5 and works great. All shame!

Just thought it was worthy of praise. Regards. Ari. However I will say to other readers of this post overheating doesn't always come down to processor more then often its due to the amount of processes that you may have forgotten where still running in the background. I played YouTube back to back for 5hrs no problem and phone never felt hot. Still had 43% battery. just Bare in mind always close in batch with the square or swipe before planing a yt or game session witg your phone to ensure max life :-?
