SONY XPERIA Z3

    Sony presented its latest flagship at IFA 2014 and Sony says it's leading a smartphone revolution, but can the company truly live up to this claim with the latest edition to the Xperia series?
    Sony dropped the Xperia Z3, Six months after it released the Xperia z2. Given this short time frame, the Z3 is certainly not a huge improvement over the Z2, but it is improvement. Internally there's a lot that stays the same between the current and previous model but Sony has made a few key improvements that actually add up to a lot more than the specs sheet might suggest, it is a kind of use and see.
    The Xperia Z3 has had its screen tweaked to produce better results, it has a slightly faster clocked processor, a well thought out design change with metal frame and rubberized plastic corners to act as built-in shock absorbent bumpers and a better waterproof rating. Everything also seems to be running a bit smoother than the Z2. It's probably not enough to make a Z2 owner upgrade, but the Z3 is a seriously good option for anyone thinking about a new phone. In 2013, Sony first presented their trademark Omnibalance design on the Xperia Z, which has defined a clear line for all Xperia smartphones since, including the Xperia Z3. Sony has also continued a tradition of incorporating premium materials, like aluminium and glass, another integral part of their preferred design. Since its first phone in this series, Sony has smoothed out any inconsistencies and proudly presented us with the Xperia Z3.
    The front and back sides made of glass have hardly changed since the Xperia Z, but a lot of changes have been made to the frame, with Sony clearly having listened to user feedback. Now the handset is a lot more pleasant to hold since the edges have been slightly rounded and are mildly convex. Though the effect isn’t quite like the HTC One (M8)’s smooth uni-body, it feels a lot more natural nonetheless. Sony was smart in removing the hard edges from the previous models.
    Despite the arms race in which many other manufacturers are now participating in to incorporate the highest resolutions into their devices, the latest of which is a 2K display on the likes of the Note 4 and the LG G3, Sony stuck with a Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) for its 5.2 inch display. Thanks to the TRILUMINOS and ‘’X-Reality for mobile’’ technologies, the display looks really bright and has good visibility in direct sunlight. The viewing angle is excellent, and photos and videos seem more tangible and natural, without being too over saturated. When the Z2 is compared with the latest edition, both of which have the same resolution, the Z3 is slightly more radiant.
     All in all a great phone which would explain its spot on the top 10 android phones in 2014.
