Sony has launched the Xperia Z3, the company’s latest flagship smartphone in India, as expected. It was unveiled at the IFA 2014 earlier this month. Even though the 5.2-inch 1080p display and the 20.7-megapixel rear camera with 1/2.3″ Sony Exmor RS image sensor are similar to the Xperia Z2, the Xperia Z3 has a more brighter screen, powered by a slightly faster Snapdragon 801 SoC and runs on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) out of the box. It also has a new curved design and is just 7.3mm thick.
Sony has introduced PS4 Remote Play that lets you use the phone as a remote screen to connect to and control your games on PS4. It has 4G LTE connectivity, including support for TD-LTE band 40 for India. Check out our Xperia Z3 hands-on from the IFA.
