BUILD AND DESIGN
The Z2 was somewhat disappointing for Sony since it didn’t acheive great sales. With the Z3, Sony hasn't improved a lot, rather it maintains its sleek design with minor changes here and there. You still get the front and back glass panels with a metal frame in between. The frame however is now more curved and feels better than the Z2's. The front has the same 5.2-inch full HD display but this time Sony has improved on the panel and brings in a brand new display that offers 600-nits brightness, which Sony claims is the brightest display on any smartphone. Well, we agree. The display is actually quite bright and colours pop out almost like on an AMOLED panel. We get the same dual stereo speakers like the Z2 and a brand new round LED notification light on the top left.
UI AND PERFORMANCE
The Xperia Z3 runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat, with a slightly refreshed UI from Sony. There are some new themes, widgets and also a few new wallpapers. Compared to the Z2, you will see a minor difference although it still has the familiar Sony look. The updated UI is definitely smoother and much more stable than on older Xperia devices running on an older build of 4.4.4. The Z3 comes loaded with the expected Sony apps including Album, Movies, Walkman, Backup and Restore, Lifelog, Sony Select, Socialife, TrackID and, of course, the PlayStation app.
CAMERA
The Xperia Z3 yet again comes with a 20.7MP sensor along with G-lens, which was first seen on the Z1.
