Hey Guys and Gals
Sony's latest flagship is hitting the street less than six months after its predecessor. The Xperia Z3 is also similar in hardware to the Z2, is it worth the upgrade?
Sony touting improved battery management, the addition of remote PS4 play and some tweaks to the camera software, is it enough to keep people coming back? Lets break down some of the features of the Sony Xperia Z3:
Design
The design is lighter and slimmer than the Z2, while largely similar, its more of refining the design than a whole new device. As previous versions, the Z3 features the same dust and water protection, IP65 and IP68 certification, so should be good for 30 minutes at 1.5 meters water depth. The reinforced corners and tempered glass will also help those a little accident prone.
The Z3 is available in several metallic colors black, white, copper and green.
Screen
The Z3 has basically the same screen as the Z2 a 5.2" panel with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. With competitors flagship's moving to QHD displays, its an odd choice. We're still unsure if if the increased resolution will make a big difference on devices with this size screen and if keeping the pixel count lower Sony has achieved its claims on battery life. If you're happy with the Z2's screen, this should suit.
Hardware
Despite the Z3 being only having marginal improvements over its predecessor, it still packs a punch. Powered along by a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor as found in the Galaxy S5, and is backed up with 3GB of RAM. As with most flagship devices, it has the usual array of connectivity options including 4G, NFC, Wi-Fi and low-energy Bluetooth 4.0. The Z3 also sports stereo speakers, so audio output should be enough for those quick youtube moments.
The camera is the same seen in the Z2 with a 20.7 MP sensor, thought some software improvements have been added. A 25mm G lens for wider, clearer shots has been included and the cameras ISO rating has been upgraded. With 4K video recording also available, this is an appealing package.
Software
Here is the Z3's main party feature, PS4 remote Play! For some this may be the deal breaker, and it is appealing having fully fledged console gaming on a mobile device (for those who dont own a PSVita) Sony has made available a smart looking attachment for the PS controller, so the Z series devices can be mounted above for a full mobile gaming experience. This is a most welcomed add-on, personally i don't get on with on-screen controllers, you just cant beat the feel of real buttons Lets hope one of the community's fantastic devs can port this bad boy to other devices:good::highfive:
Sony has also introduce the lifelog service to its latest devices, this is a fitness and well-being application. Lifelog uses the Z3's sensors along with other wearable's (Smartwatch 3) to collect data on distances covered, calories burnt, workout intensity and steps taken etc. Its a nice touch for those who own other Sony devices.
Battery Life
This is where Sony claims to of upgraded the Z3, despite having a lower rated battery 3100mAh over 3200mAh, Sony have worked on the power management and now claim the Z3 will last a full 2 days over the Z2's 1.4. We have yet to see if these claims are true, so looking forward to members experiences on this.
Now lets take a look at a video hands on:

Z3 camera have 12.800 ISO setting in camera, and also some kind of "white magic" display.

Z4 will be all Z2 should be...
Powered by S805 and 4GB ram, 64GB internal memory and Android 5.
Sony didn't bring anything new and we all knew that'll be the case...
They just want to be in our heads...that's all.
If you upgrade from Z2 to Z3 you'll get few new apps and features and that's not enough...
Of course, Sony want older users (not by age but devices) to upgrade and stay in Z family...and that's OK...even...
If I'm stuck at Xperia S or even older (P or U) I would rather buy Z2.
I'll be significantly cheaper and you'll still get awesome device.
To conclude - I think I'll wait Z4... That'll be great device...
For now...I'm enjoying my Z1 and Z2 and I love them both...
Great devices...

How will the water resistance hold up to the microSD slot? If I open and close the microSD flap cover a bunch, would it wear out and allow water in more easily?

Will it do this without root though? I thought with KK apps couldn't save to the SD anymore without a root mod (like on my Note 2)

I'm suprised it has a microsd slot:
Why do I get the feeling that the NXT Xperia line does not come with removable batteries or am I mistaken?
Plus, the lock screen notifications look eerily similar to WP7 icons and design.
That looks well sexy. That might be my next phone

I cannot WAIT until we get an update to this UXP. Judging by these screenshots, Sony have developed a sense of style!
So what about Europe? Or Xperia S is for us?
Anyway it looks really good.

So what is the difference between the Xperia Ion and the Xperia S? Just the screen size and at&t LTE support? Will the Xperia S also be available in the U.S. through Sony Style off contract?
So Xperia™ S have frontal camera, but ion doesnt?
that makes a difference when using with apps like skype, for me at least.
Edit: Ion specs are impressive, i wonder why SE cant offer the whole package when designing a phone , i badly wanted frontal camera on a phone like this.

To be honest, I'd be surprised, upset, and confused if they don't keep a consistent UI across all their phones, so I'd expect the new UXP on ours to look more or less the same as on the Ion and S.

Of course it will be same UI
just like x10 gingerbread is same like arc gingerbread right?
You shouldn't expect the new UI to be available on 2011 phones. Sony Ericsson has to differentiate. They'll keep the Android version updated for as long as it takes, but you won't see a new UI for old phones. They did that once with the X10 (to 2.3) because the X10 really deserved another update, but I can't see it happening with their current line-up.
You have to differentiate between old and new at some level. The interface SE uses is always fitting with the physical design of their phones. Updating the interface would break the cohesion.
And, with the different resolutions, it might not be as easy as we think. They'd have to redo a lot of the graphics to make stuff from a 1280x720 display work properly on a 848x480 display.
But we'll probably see someone at XDA backport the whole ROM. Shouldn't be that hard either, their foundations are probably more or less the same.

I can't work out if that's sarcastic, but I thought it was the same so I'm guessing not.
I really hope they do update it. The Arc UI style at the moment is.... dated at best

Ion will be exclusive to US and AT&T, but I think S will be its EU version.
I'm excited!
I want the new UI in my Xperia arc, Looks awesome. SE or Sony knows how to design a phone
Xperia S is great and like a dream machine.
But why the **** oh why the battery is sealed and no memory SD card???
Why everybody takes this ****ing iPhone philosophy!!!
I'm so pissed I think about switching...
I am really mad all those producers have to **** up something in the end.

Looks nice, although an aluminium frame sounds like a really bad idea...
If the camera spec is real then I'd think: Why would they go back to an older sensor?? Unless the 13.1mpx sensor that's in our XZ isn't good enough...

If it's using an Exmor RS sensor, then that's not old at all but the absolute latest and greatest from Sony. It's just that it'll use an 8MP version vs. the 13MP version on the Z and ZL.

Maybe among the phones released last year only: Nexus 4, LG Optimus G and HTC Butterfly (and their variants) have better specs (SoC) than Xperia SP.
BTW, according to the white paper, SP uses Corning Gorilla glass without a shater-proof sheet..
And Xperia L seems to use glass made by SCHOTT, again no mention of a shatter-proof sheet.
Does this mean no more pre-installed shatter-proof sheets by Sony Mobile?

Great mid-range phone.
Seems like a great mid-range phone to me. Of course everything seem better in their adds but I was honestly positively surprised when I saw it.
Having doubts though about the functionality an smoothness of the phone. I've been using Sony XPERIA S and with a 1.5 GHZ Dual-Core processor and 1 GB of RAM it was quite laggy even when using their built-in APPS like Walkman. At times it would stutter and force close even when other APPS were closed. Since Sony got rid of Ericsson I've become a huge Sony fan especially with their latest release the XPERIA Z. Their designs are formidable in my opinion and I guess many people will agree with me. The translucent bar in the S and the SP is something notable, probably a battery drainer but non the less a nice add to create something different, elegant and "sexy".
I'm very pleased to see another, newer device of Sony with this translucent bar. It'd be a nice second phone to keep with me just in case something happens with my future XPERIA Z or HTC ONE!
YES, definitely not going to buy the S4, design disappoints me and am genuinely sick of Samsung using cheap materials. Specs? Thumbs up Samsung!

At last, the wait is over for Oppo's latest flagship device. Launched in Beijing earlier, the Find 5 comes with pretty much all the top ingredients in the current market -- many of which had been teased by the company multiple times already: 5-inch 1080p display, Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 chip with 2GB RAM, a 2,500mAh battery and Android 4.1.2. There's also NFC, and on top of that, the Find 5 will come with two NFC tags (remember LG's Optimus LTE Tag and Sony's SmartTags?) plus a special version of Sina Weibo that uses the phone's NFC to let users instantly follow each other.
The 13-megapixel, 5fps camera on the back isn't just about numbers, as it also packs fast hardware-enabled HDR for both photos and video! Oppo claims it's the first in the mobile industry to carry this awesome feature. Additionally, the main camera can capture slow motion of up to 120fps, though it isn't clear whether the resolution is reduced to achieve this. On the other side of the device there's also a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera, which beats most phones these days. Audio-wise the Find 5 features Dirac HD, a technology that's embraced by the likes of BMW, Bentley, Rolls Royce and Datasat; making Oppo the first mobile phone brand to join the party. The included earphones are fine-tuned for Dirac, naturally.
Find 5 could have been the first phone with HDR video if it had been released just a month ago... Now Sony beat Oppo to it, with a phone that's superior in other aspects as well

I'm pretty sure it was the first phone with HDR but it was only sold in China at the time. It was released in China first and has been available for a couple months now in China, I'm pretty sure. It was released a month ago in the US, They just sold one batch though in the US and it sold out in minutes, it crashed the Oppo servers from people trying to purchase, they wasn't ready for the demand, I guess and server went down, but some lucky people got in on the first batch. They are selling in the US and other countries now. I prefer the second batch personally anyways because of the button etchings, see pic below. Now they have more in stock so its easier to get at www.oppostyle.com if they don't sell out again soon, I already purchased mine so I got one coming 32GB version? the second batch in stock now ships in 1-2 weeks but people are already starting to get processed emails.

I just watched a review on the Z, and next to the OPPO the colors look washed out and dull, and the viewing angles are sad. Also the camera isn't getting the best reviews either. So its arguable that the Z is superior.

Xperia Z and Oppo Find 5, have the same Sony Exmor RS camera sensor
The display is awful on the Xperia Z IMO, if you are not looking at the screen straight on, it gets really washed out, and another thing is that it is such a fingerprint magnet. Every review that I have saw, the device has fingerprints all over it and that is one thing I can’t stand personally. The Xperia Z does not have Gorilla Glass 2 either.
I would hate to have a stand/charger/holder for at night while trying to watch a movie on the Xperia Z, you would have to have it directly in front of you to get a clear picture,. You couldn’t have any angles or the video would look washed out. The only advantage I see is that it has an SD card slot, but this may not be an advantage for everyone. I have the 32GB version of the Find 5 and with all my Cloud Storage accounts, so I’m fine with 32GB. You can’t use the SD card anyways for the use with games or apps, which Google screwed up by doing this for some reason.
The Xperia Z is a nice device but, I was just turned off by the display, and all the fingerprints it picks up. I don’t think the Z is superior in any way, both devices have the same specs, but the Z has an SD card slot. Both have the Sony Exmor RS camera sensor, so it’s a pretty close call, it comes down to which device you like better, Both phones are nice to have though.

Thanks for sharing irimas. second leak of the same design. to me it looks to be z3. the design look fine to me but i'll have an opinion after seeing the whole device in higher quality pics, not these purposely blurred once for obvious reasons. with that said, my next device if probably z4, not this one, but it's nice to see the design as this should share more or less the same design with z4.
I love the sides and bottom design :

Wondering why one of two is always ugly...
Z was great, Z1 not, Z2 amazing, Z3 awful...
Hope Z4 will be perfect again

You have screenshots in OP where you can read it's still S800/801 - I really hope S805 will be available for Z3 - it's not good to have three-four devices with a same chipset (same/similar or old cpu but overclocked - to higher values, of course)

we should see S805 for Z4 in MWC 2015...
and they still didn't increase the camera pixels for Z3,Z1 & Z2 already 20.7MP...

To be honest, I don't see a need to upgrade higher pixel for the camera. What's more important is the optimization of the camera in my humble opinion.
Also, as long as Sony continue naming its flagship Z3,Z4 and so on, then I believe it will continue the omnibalance design of the Z. Usually Sony introduce a new product name if it comes with a new design. Then again, its just an opinion of mine.. I could be wrong.
Regarding the S801, if Sony were to use it on Z3 then Z3 would be the last flagship of the Z line. Since they will look to clear all their SoC stocks.
Personally, if Z3 is released similar to what the leaks are, then Z2 would probably the best option to stay with.
Looks the same...

is it me, or are these phones getting too damn big? the Z3 is the size of a NOTE 3! come on Sony, that's nuts. do what you want with the Ultra for a phablet, but please, keep your phones at a reasonable size. the Z2/GS5/M8 are already a bit beyond what i think is "too big" (perfect size would probably be a GS4).
why not:
1. make the bezels and top and bottom smaller -- instead of bigger!
2. increase earpiece/speaker volume from the Z2
3. put a next-gen CPU/GPU combo in it, but maintain standard HD resolution. (forget about pointlessly chasing 2K pixels on a bloody handset like dumb LG/Samsung are trying to do)
4. use Gorilla Glass 3 (or 4, if that exists by the time of release)
5. optimize the camera software/hardware so that 20MB photography isn't only manual
6. increase brightness of the screen for outdoor viewing
7. make 64GB and worldwide LTE bands standard issue
this would be perfect.
Hi guys...
@niaboc79 point me to this web page
Apparently, this should be next Sony's big thing...
If you ask me, I don't like new look but we'll see final design once Sony announce this new beast.
And yeah...even many claimed it'll have S810, it'll probably be S805 with 4GB of ram.

Don't get it...?
What do you wanna say?
I wouldent see why not the device would be so powerful, they have had some tough market recently and although sony isnt one to faulter in quality (exept Z2 hiccip)
Im hoping to come across a Z4 but my college budget says hell never.
That is the image of a Z3...
http://www.androidpit.com/sony-xperia-z4-release-date-news-specs-features
here is the features of the upcoming z4. I gonna buy this!!!
Nice but i hope sony will avoid onscreen buttons or at leastgive us an option just like oneplus one..
That pic just looks like a Z2 it seems though
Or perhaps something edited and also made to look poor quality
BTW - that digitiser isn't from Z4.
That's a fake.
I wonder about Z4, Sony need to have a 64bit cpu just for the name of it
Customers either go for lies or big titles, Sony trys not to lie but they also fail to provide at times
Z4 would need a 805 or above to arouse any eyes
Maybe not even that, perhaps lolipop, 64bit, QHD Display
Big words Avg customers dont know about
Yay marketing, Crude work
nope xperia design is loosing its point
The main reason wich made me buy a smartphone now was the genius design of the XZseries, but since the Z3 they go this ****ty casual rounded borders way wich just looks as every other Iphone.replicant...
When I look at my naked Z2, damn I get a tech.boner with nice crispy borders looks like a chocolate.bar! Yummyyummy
And hopefully the Z4 comes with an Ultra version thats the only thing I miss bout my Z2 make them bigger, I anyways charge daily whats the point of small screen for the sake of 30% battery over the night so u have to charge in the mifdle of the next day xD
I also had seen an Z4 design earlier wich went more onto my desired way of design but i think it was a phantom....Ill post a link when I find it later

The Z4 will be almost the same as Z2. There are pics of the Display and the stereo speakers that are the same as our Z2's ( : So Sony heard us about the sh..ty Z3 design at least. I love my Z2 design also..Its just..stylish and elegant :fingers-crossed:
Looks much better than z3 .

I like Sony, phone has good quality, design also nice
Xperia Z4 will be a 5.5" inch screen and UHD resolution and snapdragon 805 (confirmed informations) not much, but little informations is better than nothing
