The Sony Xperia Z3 + is an Android - smartphone the Xperia series of Sony . It was introduced on April 20, 2015 as the successor to the Xperia Z3. Since the Z4 was initially only announced for Japan , the start of sales was also confirmed for Germany on May 26, 2015, but here the Z4 is sold as the Xperia Z3 +. The main difference between the Z3 + is the built-in Snapdragon 810 SoC, which includes a new 64-bit eight-core processor and an improved graphics unit called "Adreno 430", and the 5 megapixel front camera with a wide-angle lens. Other slight visual changes concern the frame, which now shines more, and the stereo speakers, which are now placed on the edge of the front section. The dimensions have decreased slightly by 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm, which means that the Xperia Z3 + has become more compact than the Xperia Z3 with the same display size and the weight has also been reduced by 8 grams.

The Xperia Z3 + came with Android version 5.0 Lollipop with Sony UI . An update to version 7 Nougat was distributed from December 2016.

B. also have some Sony Alpha and NEX models.

design

The appearance of the Xperia Z3 + was developed according to the OmniBalance concept, whereby the front and back are coated with glass and supported by a metal frame in the middle. This now shines more than its predecessor. The corners are made of nylon to better protect against the consequences of a fall, although these are also more shiny than the Xperia Z3. At 6.9 mm thick, the Xperia Z3 + is slightly thinner than the Xperia Z3. The colors black and white and copper have remained the same, but the color mint has been replaced by a silver tone with a black front section.

strength

The case of the Xperia Z3 + is, like its predecessor, the Xperia Z3, waterproof and dustproof according to the IP68 standard. This means that dust in any form and sinking into 1.5 m deep water for 30 minutes will not cause any damage.

Evaluation and criticism

In expert tests such as For example, the magazine " Connect " praised the endurance and the water resistance described under "Strength", but criticized the camera, which has offered almost the same quality since the Xperia Z1 and is therefore no longer on par with the cameras of the competition.

Price development

On January 25, 2016, Sony lowered the RRP of the Z3 + in Germany from € 699 to € 449. This corresponds to a price reduction of € 250. The reason for this was that the successor Xperia Z5 was already on the market with the same RRP and the Xperia Z3 + had no price advantage over it.
