Hands on: Sony Xperia Z3+ (Xperia Z4)

Like cherry on top of a cake, today we will present the Sony Xperia Z3+ known also as Xperia Z4. You are probably wandering why Sony is using two names for one model; in Japan the company announced a true new generation of Xperia Z which will have the mark 4, but after some tests and experiments Sony decides to not change the “Z3” because the innovations are not so exceptional but instead of that they added the symbol “+”. In this article you will get to learn which are the new specs of the Sony Xperia Z3+ model and compare them with the rumours that you have been reading so far. Light, Classy and Thin Phone The first thing everyone will notices, especially when the Xperia Z3+ is taken in the hand, is its lightness of 144 grams and thinness of 6.9 mm. It is very easy to hold in hands and it is extremely strong; the glass and aluminium is a great combination for the phone to not get injured. Like all the Z series, the Z3+ is a waterproof and dust resistant device. Many say that this device is design to last more than any other Xperia phone. Many wishes were completed (no more nightmares while opening and closing the cover) since the Xperia Z3+ does not feature a USB port cover. We think this is a great innovation since many people had the same problem: they either failed to close the cover properly (which enabled the water to get into the device) or the cover itself got loose after some period of time. The Sony Xperia Z3+ will come in 4 colours: black, white, bronze, green. Better Selfi Camera After further investigation we found out that the selfi camera has been upgraded. The front camera has 5.1 megapixels (apart from its predecessor Sony Xperia Z3 which is featuring a 2.2 megapixels front camera) and a 25mm lens which will make group selfies stupendous. The back camera remained the same, measuring a great 20.7 megapixels and Sony is still using Cyber-shot and Handycam; a technology which allow the camera to make high quality images, even the ones taken in the low light. The Power of the Hardware Sony put the accent on improving the hardware of the Sony Xperia Z3+. Snapdragon 810 processor with 8 cores and 3 gigabytes of RAM memory is transforming this phone into a real beast. People that had the opportunity to test this fellow had great remark about it. Sony Xperia Z3+ has been update with the Android OS, v5.0 (Lollipop). One thing that amazes the most users of Sony PlayStation 4 is that is compatible with the Xperia Z3+. You can pare these two devices trough Wi-Fi connectivity and you will be able to stream the games right from your phone. Middle range Dispay The display has remained the same as the Z3 features: 5.2 inch full HD (1920×1080) IPS LCD display with TRILUMINOS, X-Reality and Live Color LED technology. We are not thrilled that Xperia Z3+ did not enlarge the pixels of the display because the device is still great. But when you compare the Z3+ with the Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG G4 you will learn that other did pay more attention to the screen than Sony did. So maybe this is the reason Sony did not change the series into Z4. In conclusion we would like to thank Sony for releasing a new model in sale and we are sure that this model will have great marks on our web page.
