Slightly faster, lighter, more waterproof and a few extra features. Not a huge leap from the Z2, a decent one from the Z / Z1.

Exactly and i believe thats exactly what SONY wants from these 6 months cycle but they need to stop giving this increment in the name.This should have been Z2S or something
Every time there is such an increment in the name it should be having huge leap in specs .
Posted by cu015170
The most important new addition, for me anyway, is this
"brand new, 25mm wide-angle "G Lens"
That's slightly wider than the 808, and just as wide as the 1020.. can't wait to see how sharp it is around the frame.
Posted by Gitaroo
some leaked info were wrong? Its 5.2" screen still not 5.1" like early rumors. No 1/2.4" sensor, same but new lens? OP also need to update, its IP 68 not 58.

GSMarena already has photo samples.
I think they look really great. check them out.
looks like they followed samsung's processing. the HDR photos in particular are comparable to samsung's HDR results.

I agree. Great results there.

Sony quoted their new camera will 'hopefully' bring better image quality. Hopefully? ? Did they not test it 😂 Anyway nothing much new here from Z2

The Z3 is also equipped with high-resolution audio playback, and an upscaling engine called DSEE HX that upscaled low-res audio (whether that be from streaming services or files) to near hi-res audio, although you'll need a high-end set of headphones to feel the benefit.

this feature is inspired by samsung's "dual camera" feature but significantly better

IQ looks better than the Z2 and I don't see any softness around the edges which is impressive considering the focal length..
I am sure they will add it to their studio comp tool soon and we will see how it does against the GS5 and the 1520/930 .. should be much closer than the Z2.

In general great
But I may skip it since Z2 is outstanding
Maybe Z4 than around March 2015

This always happens with images taken before launch. @miromiromi dual camera was first done by LG

yeah, not worth an upgrade for those who already have the z2 or even the z1. i'm glad, though, that the new devices didn't turn out to be that much of a disappointment.

the Z3 and Z3C to launch in the UK within weeks ? according to carphonewarehouse.com they expect both devices by the end of September.

I saw the copper coloured Z3 being compared to the LG G3 in a video. Oh my goodness, it does look really nice. Far nicer than I imagined it would do.
But if it is what you say, only black will have 32GB, then that colour is not an option. The very deep black of the Z3 is beautiful too.

I don't get it how the noise cancelling feature works only with headset on. This means that in regular phone voice talk -the main function of every damn phone- it won't work. Such a huge disappointment. Oh well, more votes for BB Passport, whose technology works when doing voice calls -duh, with no headphones attached.
Anywhoo, any phone launched before Android5 without a 64bit CPU is dead in the water ('cause it will work like a replay at half speed) -or so i've concluded from what i've read on the net. Again, this includes this xperia phone.
Sony, move on to WP. Next year, when WP9 appears. Pls. Your hardware + a much better SO will be a match made in heaven -hopefully.

What do you mean ? The review units always have better cameras than the units they end up shipping to customers ? That seems unlikely..

With Xperia Z3 phone, Sony finally conquers US launch lag:
http://www.cnet.com/news/with[....]inally-conquers-us-launch-lag/
Posted by Big_D
is it official that T-Mobile and Sprint are carrying the Z3 or just T-Mobile in USA?
btw, I think it's awesome. 32GB, that would be the only reason I would buy it rather than the international 16Gb version. Although I think Sony should just bring 16GB to lower-end models (no more 4GB and 8GB) and the budget version of Xperia Z series, make 32GB standard and offer 64GB optional. the former would sell many budget models in an instant and justify their prices compared to other makers.
anyway great news.

Indeed. Those sample pictures are truly impressive. I'm glad Sony has finally fixed their terrible image processing.
If the final units have the same IQ, then Z3 will indeed have the best camera on an Android smartphone.

^ except that Samsung thing
Posted by napahlm
Saw a video of the z3 where they went through the camera features. A new feature was the ability to connect another unit for simultaneous shooting from different angels. I guess it's meant for the QX-cameras, but wouldn't it be cool if you could add another phone and/or tablet ?
I can really see a good use for it. For example in my bowling practice. I could film myself in full figure and put a camera by the foulline to study my release!

Does it have stereo speakers?
Posted by josephnero
Screen
The display on the Sony Xperia Z3 is its most impressive feature. With the same pixel count as its predecessor of 1080x1920 resolution, the Xperia Z3's 5.2in display blew us away. Images are crystal clear and it is truly stunning to use, with both text and images looking sharp and touch operations being smooth between pages and apps.

Looks like the American carriers don't accept no less than 32GB internal memory from Sony. First T-Mobile and now Verizon. I'm happy because now I know this phone definitely is my next.
