Sony Xperia Z3: Camera Highlights

sony-xperia-z3-camera-highlights copy

Sony introduced the Xperia Z3 and the Z3 compact recently, at the IFA event in Berlin. The obvious upgrades to the Z2 and the Z1 compact featured a slightly newer design and subtle changes to the hardware. One of the clear USPs of the Z3 is, of course, the camera. Since the Z1, Sony’s hardware for the camera has almost been consistent, but a lot of changes in software have not only added features, but made the experience much better. Another great USP of the Z3 and other Xperia devices is the ability to protect itself from water and dust. Couple these two and you get something that other flagships are not capable of.

Sony Xperia Z3 Review

Sony Xperia Z3 Review -2

When Sony launched its flagsip ie the Xperia Z2 a few months back, we said that it felt like a device where the thought was on making improvements all around. Improvements that made sense and improved the experience. Fast forward 6 months and Sony already has a successor to their flagship device. Way too early? That’s what we first thought as we unboxed the handset and set it up. A few days later, we’ve had some time to gather our thoughts about what makes the Sony Xperia Z3 tick. Is it worth an upgrade though? We answer that and more in our review below. Continue reading “Sony Xperia Z3 Review”
