With the same double-sided glass, the same Omni Balance full balance design, and the same parameters, the Xperia Z3, launched half a year after the Xperia Z2, seems to be slightly ordinary in sincerity. However, the improvement of hardware performance, better screen performance and shooting experience are not represented by parameters, let alone the dominance of Xperia Z series in the field of color playing.
Different from the last Xperia Z2, this Xperia Z3 seems to be consistent in packaging size, but slightly different in design. At the same time, there is no external shape design in mainland China, so various versions in mainland China, Hong Kong, etc. are basically consistent in the three dimensions, and the protective shell and other accessories can maintain versatility.
Xperia Z3 has four colors, namely classic black and white, as well as newly launched amber gold and emerald green. Among them, emerald green is launched according to different regions, but not in mainland China. At the same time, Xperia Z3 is also divided into two models: dual card and single card, which is the first time Sony has launched a dual card flagship machine.
On the back are various selling points, such as TRILUMINOS Display Of Mobile, X-Reality, and 4K waterproof already available on Xperia Z2. This time, Xperia Z3 also added Hi Res and Digital. But in fact, Xperia Z2 already has features, but they are slightly different in details.
The side is the corresponding model and color. The Xperia Z3 model is D6653, and the color is Silver Green. D6653 is a single card version, while the dual card model is D6633.
In terms of accessories, Sony still has a large number of instructions. The message that needs to be explained is Xperia Care. Sony has launched the joint insurance service of China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, so that buyers can carry out corresponding warranty services in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao.
There are still chargers, data cables and headphones. The headphone model is MH410C, the charger is EP880, and the output current is 1.5A.
At present, the Bank of Hong Kong has also attached a charging base. In fact, Sony has introduced different charging bases for each new model, among which Xperia Z Ultra is DK30, Xperia Z1 is DK31, Xperia Z2 is DK36, Xperia Z3 is DK48, and the model in mainland China is DK43, but there is no difference except that the data cables of the latter three can be separated.
Four widths are provided with DK48, 34A/34B/45A/45B, corresponding to Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact, and used after being equipped with protective sleeves.
If you just look at it this way, Xperia Z3 still uses the Omni Balance full balance design that Sony Xperia is accustomed to, and it is still more about the modification of details and the change of connotation.
If the most special and new idea of Xperia Z3 is its color. (Is the color good every time?) According to the designer, Xperia Z3 wants to present the earth and metal texture, including amber gold and emerald green. The green color is inspired by the copper rust caused by long-term use of metal and the light green color of the image after high-temperature treatment.
The same as the previous Xperia Z series, although the popular purple in Z/Z1/Z2 has been canceled in Xperia Z3, the new amber gold and emerald green still maintain a sufficient and high sense of coquettishness, and the turning back rate and beauty are quite satisfactory.
Another big improvement of Xperia Z3 is its border. The border of Xperia Z3 has changed from straight to round. And the frame has changed from plastic and metal to all metal, which has greatly improved the texture and grip feel.
The four corners of the frame of Xperia Z3 are made of composite plastic, which has a certain color difference from the frame. This design is to minimize the possibility of screen fragmentation when the phone falls.
Border comparison of Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2. Compared with the combination of the two materials of Xperia Z2, the all metal frame of Xperia Z3 is more comfortable, and the rounder design is more comfortable to hold.
In addition to the upgrade of the border, Xperia Z3 also provides further protection level. The upgrade from IP55/IP58 of Xperia Z2 to IP65/IP68 is the highest protection level at present. The waterproof cover of the SIM card slot and the mirco USB waterproof cover of Xperia Z3 are further reduced, which is better in both integrity and vision.
Compared with Xperia Z2, Xperia Z3 is lighter and thinner, and its frame is more rounded. The improvement in grip feel is quite obvious. The more detailed evaluation experience of Xperia Z3 will be released in the near future.
