Sony
is state-of-the-art with its XPERIA XZ flagship phones. Only three months ago I
have the Sony XPERIA XZ2 viewed and checked. However, a phone that I thought
was overpriced offered an incredibly compelling alternative to the modern
flagship. It had a sturdy but comfortable, high-quality body, a flat display, a
handsome chin and forehead and a no-frills camera experience. That convinced me
all and I used the phone every day for six months.
However,
Sony has already returned with its third flagship from 2018 - the Sony XPERIA
XZ3 - and although many other OEMs release at least two flagships a year, they
usually adapt them to different markets or offer a different experience - Sony
has almost none Thereof the Sony XPERIA XZ3 offers many significant
improvements over the XPERIA XZ2, but in other ways the two are almost
interchangeable. Is this the flagship of Sony that has been waiting for a few
years, or is it a continuation of what some have experienced as the feeling
that Sony loses its identity in exchange for familiarity with new users. Let us
explain this in more detail in our review of the Sony XPERIA XZ3.
The
phone still retains the look of its black plate, the Sony logo is still on the
chin, and a large, unseen camera cutout is to the right of the centered
earphone. Flip the phone over and the back fingerprint sensor is still a bit
too low and too close to the camera sensor - though I think the majority has
severely overworked this problem. Both the Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy
Note 9 have poorly mounted sensors that are too close to the camera, but you
rarely hear complaints. However, only when you pick up the XPERIA XZ3, you
notice the improvements over the XZ2. The flat display, the matte sidebar and
the rounded backs have disappeared - the things that made the XZ2 unique in my
opinion.
Unique does not mean that the XPERIA XZ3 is
almost perfectly balanced and designed and is one of the best mobile phones.
The rounded back is less this time, so it fits even more perfect and
comfortable in the hand. In addition, the phone can sit almost flat on a table
and prevent turning the XZ2 on a surface. The back is still curved to the
sides, but it has been refined and has an aluminum railing, with the
combination of glass and metal being almost perfect and the new glossy sides
giving the phone a polished, almost full glass appearance.
The ports and buttons are still in Sony's
predictable locations. The USB-C and microphone are on the bottom, the volume
controls, the power supply, and the two-level camera button on the right, the
multi-purpose SIM / SD compartment on the top, and another microphone and a
completely barren left side. The volume rocker is about as high as the XZ2, ie
it is not at the very tip of the phone. I like this little quality of life
change, with so many manufacturers moving all the buttons as their device gets
bigger. Sony still waives the 3.5mm headphone jack, which I think we need to
get used to since 2019 is mostly free of latches. In the box, you get a USB-C
adapter for 3.5-mm adapter and a pair of really cheaper, asymmetrical 3.5-mm ear
buds from Sony. Like most other Sony flagships, the XZ3 has IP65 68
certification to protect you from water activity.
