Description

Right off the bat, the Sony Xperia Z3+ looks very much like the Sony Xperia Z3, down to the 5.2-inch, 1080 x 1920 resolution screen. Inside, though, Sony has opted to go ahead and power the device with the 64-bit Snapdragon 810 SoC which features an octa-core CPU and the Adreno 430 GPU. 3GB of RAM is inside. The rear camera is the same 20.7MP snapper employed on the Xperia Z3 (still no OIS) but the front camera has been bumped from 2MP to 5MP in order to take better selfies. Sony has trimmed the sails on the battery, choosing to enlist a 2900mAh juicer rather than the 3100mAh cell that powered the Xperia Z3. But the smaller battery allowed Sony to cut the thickness of the phone to a svelte 6.9mm from 7.3mm.

This device is also known as Sony Xperia Z3 Plus, Sony Xperia Z4, Sony Xperia Z3+ Dual

Pros
Solid build, sophisticated dual-glass design.
Lighter than the predecessor, pleasant to handle.
Cons
Battery life is very good, but a bit short of the Xperia Z3's 85-hour endurance rating. We'll retest with a retail unit as soon as we have one.

Phone owned for less than a year

After owning early Androids then Iphones for the last 5 years I went from Iphone 6 ( non water proof) to this phone that is waterproof and at a cost of less than Half. The Marshmallow UI works well and Sony bloatware is limited. I wish the battery would last longer, under normal use it runs the phone for 6 to 7 hours before completely depleted. Fast response and nice display. The camera could be better, it suffers focus issues at times and the colors are a little washed out. The Heat problem that gets talked about, Well Sony has really reduced the problem through throttling the 8 cores, running 5 at time and the only time it gets really warm is when the HD video recording is running and then it does run for a great while before being really hot ( more than 30 minutes) I use the phone all day at the clinic and since I do not use it for HD videos its a non issue. Since the phone can be bought for around $300 usd new I recommend it as a good solid buy.

Good phone
Phone owned for less than a year

Viewed on its own, the Sony Xperia Z3+ is a proper flagship with all the trimmings. Next to the Xperia Z3, it's just a facelift. Perhaps Sony is ahead of us on this one, and will deliver the Xperia Z4 later this year. If this happens, the Z3+ will be reduced to a mere seat warmer. Should Sony decide to wait, the "plus" will suffice like it has for Apple, more than once. To be fair though, the question for Sony must be "when" rather than "if". But we're sure they've got it all figured out. For now, the Xperia Z3+ shapes up to be a great all-rounder and we can't wait to get a retail unit and put it through its paces.
