Sony Xperia Z3+ vs Z3

[@AdityaTripathitechlover]

2 questions....1) Is this the flagship from sony this year? 2) does this phone overheat?

[@tech_edit]

Aditya Tripathi 1) yes and 2) we can't say for sure until we get it in for review - watch this space and thanks for the comment.

[@AdityaTripathitechlover]

Thank u for the reply!! Will b looking forward to d review

[@rogersmith2668]

Aditya Tripathi there have been many rumors that a new phone is going to be revealed in September

[@AdityaTripathitechlover]

Roger Smith​ cool, frm which manufacturer?

[@rogersmith2668]

Sony Xperia Z4 (the real one )

[@RoundMangos]

@5:25 Tap & pay!?! Was this at Sony's UK HQ? Because I'm in the UK and have a Z3 Compact (with lollipop 5.0.2) and I don't have Tap & pay...

[@instars2027]

Why isn't there a Z3+ Compact?

[@69Solo]

I am glad I got S6 64gb this year as Samsung gave me a very good offer and free wireless charger. S6 is a great upgrade coming from my S3. :')

[@EileenTheCr0w]

You probably got ripped off though honestly lol.. Unless you paid like $300. If it was on payments of any kind though you lost

[@69Solo]

vexx506 I got it 100$ less at the price that everybody was selling. Plus free wireless charger. So yeah it was a good deal for me. :D

[@69Solo]

***** Yeah compared to GS3 battery life is far superior. Last Saturday my gf also purchased Edge Plus. Even her battery life is great. The thing which impressed us both was, the fast wireless charging and super fast wired charging. The phone goes up to 100% in minutes. You have to make sure that you are using genuine Samsung charger only

[@gostmouh2]

Thank you so much , you did a great comparison and I was impatiently waiting for it. People think that it's the Z4 version and actually it's named Z4 only in Japan. There is one thing more I want to say, I'm using the Z1 Compact and I can't deny that I was so happy with it till the last Upgrade to Lollipop : - It Crashes a lot. - Overheat - The battery doesn't last long as it used to do... I'm wondering if the 5.1 version would correct these bugs or not. I'd like to thank you Guys one more time, you are doing a great work. Keep going :) Your channel is simply the best :)

[@tech_edit]

Mohammed Belayati Awesome to hear you're enjoying the channel and sorry to hear about the Z1 Compact issues you're facing - hopefully the 5.1 update will sort them out.

[@ip4n4f17]

Then you should factory reset your phone

[@igorpereira6]

Factory reset your phone

[@ChicoFrijole93]

Yeah I'm having the same issues with my Z1s. My battery gets hot, feels like my battery drains quicker, also seems to be lagging here and there.

[@ChicoFrijole93]

Yes I have and I still experience lag and a drainage of batterw

[@karmathepunkrocker]

The Z3 Plus has similar stereo speakers design as the Z2. Are you able to test the sound difference between these 2 once you bought the Z3 Plus itself?

[@PHUNTER22]

Are there any plans yet for it being launched in the U.S. via carriers in the U.S.?

[@hajimeyamasakivukelic7235]

I own a z1 compact stuck on Android 5.0 as its last major update. It also has auto-rotate home screen hidden in the settings somewhere (to be honest, I forgot where exactly). I assume z3 would also be able to do that.

[@sayresyDevino]

With the current selection of handsets looking so similar in looks and specs these days, it would have been cool if SONY had made their Z3+ an amazing music player, something SONY should excel in..

[@toryn5017]

Btekt 3:33 You double tapped the screen, gotten used to that G4 have ya?

[@DasDoeni]

I dont have a smartphone right now, but I think of getting an Z3 because I dont think that the rather minor improvements of the Z3+ explain the price which is 300$ over the Z3. Do you agree?

[@mohdmistry]

how did they manage to make it waterproof with the usb port being open without flaps?? 0_0

[@azmadu]

It looks to me like the Z3+ doesn't have the magnetic charging ports on the left hand side. Is that correct, and what does it have in its place?

[@SwissFenyx]

I don't have the rotate home screen option on my z3+

[@300Xeon]

Ordered the Z3+ and got a Action Cam Mini with it, good thing is that the operator lets you change phone every year, so I can just upgrade to Z5 next year. Can't wait until 30th of June! (Coming from iPhone 6).

[@RomasNordman]

I think it's pretty dumb they discarded magnetic/wireless charging, is that second exposed hole a dock slot for charging or ? I'm pretty disappointing with all current phones as they all have massive flaws, it's either no expandability or no wireless charging or something else is missing, it's almost they are taking away features to bring them back again later.

[@eug3nius]

No docking connector, that was the best feature of the Z3(c)

[@dreamingthelife]

eug3nius I feel the same, but since the USB port is now exposed I don't feel so bad, I like phones to be as waterproof as possible and wished all phones had a magnetic charging port

[@jidb-yt]

If it had an IR blaster it would be perfect

[@strictos0001]

The first z in the line up didn't have the magnetic charge I thought you guys would know that

[@ASmith-vl2km]

1) Under heavy use(e.g. GPS, web browsing and a little gaming), how long does the battery last on the Z3+ in comparison to the Z3? 2) Does the Z3+ have a quick shooter(i.e. as quick as the Samsung Galaxy S6 or LG G3)? 3) Is the screen on the Z3+ visible in direct sunlight?

[@miro_o]

If buying an Xperia flagship, is it worth paying the extra to pay for the Z3+ or should I save the money by buying the discounted model?

[@BaMbOoZeD]

I wonder why the menu slide and app running/closing on Z3 runs smoother than the Z3+ ? I have Z3 and Z3+ and i did compare them. But the Z3 still runs better in the menu ? Wtf..

[@ryeofoatmeal]

But I cant change my icon size on zr :( ive update the lollipop

[@philiphenry2077]

So which carriers is this phone coming to and when does it come out?

[@ByYuukon]

Thanks Basil! I had no idea about the name, so good to know it will be releaed here in Europe! Though I definitely wish to have seen a more prominent upgrade of the Z3, so for me it's unfortunately not worth the upgrade.

[@biminipenn]

This phone is VERY different! Just because they look alike doesn't mean it's "the same thing" It has a new processor, camera, usb, speakers, etc.

[@HarpsR]

When is the z3plus coming out?

[@12dark21]

I have a question ,,, are the borders made from aluminum or plastic ?

[@slavkogojkovic1551]

what about notification light on z3+, is it just a dot on side like z3, or it is like in z2 implemented in upper speaker?

[@intan.raheemah]

Is Z3+ sound quality in the water improved?

[@dominionn09]

Any word on a compact version?

[@ip4n4f17]

Is this Z3+ have metal build or still glass like Z3?..

[@chante4470]

are they the same size. could a case fit both?

[@agera_]

Can you use the same case for both phones?

[@hat851]

Do you know when sony is gonna release the z4?

[@potluribhavith5755]

I bought my xperia z3 3 weeks back can we get exchange with the z3+

[@JareNijkamp]

do you think there will be another compact version coming soon? i have a nexus 5 and i cant imagine using a device any bigger then this. Im wondering if i i should just go for the z3 compact now or wait a few months for a newer COMPACT?

[@TheDestinedMonkee]

Where the hell did you got the Z3+

[@akshaydeenoo]

Hey is there any heating issues with the z3+? and i have heard that the z3 had force close problems with its 4k recording?

[@SampleRateDJProducer]

Where is the magnet dock, i have the z3 i dont will go change it

[@fedorawhale9834]

They should have scrapped the current Z3 and released the Z3+ as the Z3 and release it when the upcoming Z3+ comes out - a much more meaning full upgrade over the Z2, but a minor one over the Z3

[@TheDoowllams]

It's not quite a year since they brought out the Z3, so its not going to be a fully new phone that soon after the last one, same difference between iPhone 5 and 5s probably.

[@effendyzhuo4749]

No USB power flap which is perfect

[@jericcarino]

Effendy Zhuo i agree. :)

[@ablazingsecant]

Nice review. Very informative. Looking forward for your Xperia m5 review that was just launch aug 3.

[@DANGELOOR]

do you have to have an echo in your video?

[@TheLinAndre]

wait, can you put micro sd in z3+? theres no flap to in sert it in and why the color doesnt match the frame

[@akshaydeenoo]

Andre Nathan Yes you can put a micro sd in it,both z3 and z3+ supports it. On the z3+ it is on the left side of the phone.The z3+ offers a much more brighter colour than the z3, it has light blue instead of light green and the frame of the phone is also much more shinier :)

[@170adamb]

Just ordered 1 of these as an upgrade from original z, I know there's probably slightly better phones available but I've been a huge Sony fan since i had their original walkman as a kid. I'm sure I'll love it :-)

[@deepuravindran1732]

hai..i just want to know whether the normal net browsing and social media usage will leed to overheating problems or not.if the temperature rise above 50 c during the time of using Camara?

[@shaydonthebody1]

1 questions is the z3+ water prove ?

[@7moodksa775]

1 question when is the sony xperia z3 is coming to suadi arabia

[@7moodksa775]

7mood Ksa i mean z3+

[@Kiddow23]

+7mood Ksa It's now available all over KSA, thank God!

[@stixxbixby]

Btekt Please compare the front firing speakers as u do so well. And please note if there r any differences btwn the cameras & battery life! Thanks in advance Basil!

[@ASmith-vl2km]

If you had the choice between the Xperia Z3 and the Z3+, which one would you purchase?

[@rafaeldjoker3262]

A. Smith They're practically the same , except better processor in Z3+, but smaller battery.

[@EileenTheCr0w]

Naturally the z3+.. Slightly better design and specs. I'd wait for z4/z5 (whatever they call next true flagship) if you don't need to upgrade now though.

[@leavegallery]

Otherwise, I would take the Z3+. It seems smoother, it has a wider selfie cam, the non-flaps are the biggest deal, I guess. Apart from that, I would wait until the review got out.

[@HandsomestCrusader]

A. Smith They both seem pretty similar. For what I need it to do the Z3 seems like it'd be perfect. That and given it's roughly 130€ less than the Z3+ on Ebay.

[@theoharris9972]

Hi Basil, sorry for commenting on an older video but I was wondering if the Sony Xperia z3+ still overheats? And if so, how badly? Thanks for the great video as always and please reply, hoping to get myself an Xperia very soon, even if it isn't the z3+ :)

[@sonussektor]

nice overview. did i get it right? Z3+ can't be charged inductionally anymore? and is this a big con or was inductional charging not as good as it sounds? i also saw a clip where the user played via PS remote on his Z3. the phone was attached to the controller through the inductional slot. this won't be bessoble anymore, right?

[@EileenTheCr0w]

What are you talking about? The magnet port? If so then no that specific attachment probably doesn't fit but they'll have others.

[@jaybee0507]

The ps4 game controller mount attaches to the phone by a suction cup and connects by bluetooth. I have one.

[@sonussektor]

but this won't work with z3+, right?

[@GavinLeeSimpson]

ueber koenich the remote play function uses Bluetooth to connect to the ps controller and WiFi to connect to the ps4. Anything else is purely aesthetics

[@19861986925]

How the camera of it z3 or best I mean image quality.

[@zyzmys]

So what's the difference ?

[@potluribhavith5755]

What is the cost of mobile xperia z3+

[@rzero21]

glad they kept the screen at 1080p. Hopefully Sony skips the 2K train and stay with 1080p for all devices with 6 inch screens or smaller. That should make things easier for the processor/graphics. And at 1080p it's pretty hard to see pixels, so an increase in resolution is simply WORTHLESS.

[@GTS300Coupe]

Any word on the Z4/Z3+ Compact?

[@leavegallery]

Z3c is a big deal. Better battery life than Z3, Z2, it has also a fluid performance. The Z3c is that BEAST :)

[@tomearl99]

Waiting for the z5 compact

[@solotraveler4222]

Hi. Can anyone tell me what is that near usb charging? (I am talking about z3+) Thanks

[@ryanpadullon9372]

z3 also has auto rotation in home screen

[@Bananaorangeable]

What's the FPS for timeshift video?

[@mostafaallam2210]

Does the z3 plus support dual sims?

[@jamiemaher1487]

I have a sony xperia t lt30p dunno if I should get the z3+ Plz can someone help me to decide

[@Andre-yh6ng]

when is the realse dates

[@jinUAE]

To me the exposed micro usb is a huge plus! Thankfully they've ditched that annoying dock connector and more flaps

[@rensisamielclaus3614]

does z3+ have double tap to wake, because you tried in the video

[@jericcarino]

Rensis Amiel Claus i think he just wasn't able to set that up on the z3+ unlike with his setup with the z3.

[@mylastnamefirstname]

wireless charging support?

[@thaminduKavinda]

best channel ever seen clear explanation and nice animation video best thing is super quality video

[@JohnRedcornXL]

Actually the Sony Xperia Z3v was the first Xperia without a magnetic charging port. It was dropped in favor of Qi charging. Which is much preferred by me... I hardly have to open my flaps anymore unless it's an emergency. My first Z3v died in water because the USB flap gasket came loose. And I thought I had it set back in right but I was wrong, lol. I'm so glad they went with a flapless design this time. But I'll probably never see this device with Verizon :(

[@maknze2468]

I really loved my Z3V for the short time I had it and was afraid of that with mine. Although mine ended up going back for two primary issues 1) can't simultaneous talk and data when not on wifi and 2) It would get hot and shut itself down.

[@seiseiman6851]

Can you review Z4v?

[@MileyGagaBoy]

does the z3+ offer longer battery life than the original z3?

[@jamesr6527]

No

[@MrVaderino]

pitty the lack of the magnetic dock... and the reduced battery. Not the way to go!!

[@jericcarino]

MrVaderino cpu and gpu i believe were optimized to significantly increase battery life in spite of smaller battery. :)

[@viktorhaggstrom2305]

You can make the apps smaller or bigger on the z3 now. And make the home screen rotate. Nice video :)

[@Dark-zv3qo]

I still have the xperia T from 2012 and i dont find it necessary to Upgrade, personally

[@archangel1996j]

hey another phone z3+ ? it is the z4 ? reply fast !!!!

[@danashyaaa]

"Performance won't be too different" The snapdragon 810 is three generations above the 801 ( counting the 805 and the 808) the ram may he the the same but that won't affect performance. The processor on the other hand will affect performance massively. Check benchmarks. The z3+ is going to be much faster than the z3.

[@danashyaaa]

Also both phones have expandable memory and the ability to move apps to the SD card so I don't think memory is an issue on either device

[@jihadajami1785]

can u do a video sony z3 vs sony m5 pleas

[@Scoops7]

Great review, I'm looking to upgrade from my z1 what phone would you recommend

[@akshaydeenoo]

Nick Cooper z3 isnt bad at all

[@69Solo]

Nick Cooper S6

[@Scoops7]

I was thinking of the s6 edge

[@69Solo]

Nick Cooper Trust me I was not sure of buying the S6, but I did last Monday. I am coming from S3. The charging on the S6 is superfast, both wired and wireless. I got a free wireless charger along with it. The battery has never got below 50% for me. I work 9 hours I leave home with 100%, by the time I reach home battery is between 54 - 75% depending on usuage. I normally listen to music, browse a little and play games. The camera is simply superb, almost as good as G4. Everybody who sees my S6 is surely impressed by Samsung this time and so am I. Trust me you won't regret. The few bad things I found in S6 the earphone which comes along with it really sucks, the sound quality is pathetic and low. So I am using Razer Hammer Head Pro with it. 2) It is not waterproof. 3) Last was the memory card, but I got myself 64gb, which is more than enough for me. But trust me apart from that, the cell phone is a kick ass in every department... :') The S6 edge has 1 draw back tough, like if you are sitting in a room with light, which ever edge is at the top will give you tiny glare effect, thats due to edge on the top. So thats why I went for Standard S6. :')

[@Scoops7]

Great thanks for the heads up, I never use the supplied headphones as they are normally pants. The only thing I'm not sure about is the touch whizz and bloat wear

[@shaydonthebody1]

and wath is the magnit ?

[@kyledc4105]

If they called this a Z4, I know for sure that a lot of people would be disappointed because of the fact that they barely changed anything. So does calling it a Z3+ instead of a Z4 justify the fact that its going to be their brand new 2015 flagship device, and that Sony didn't really do anything new?

[@gavinftw97]

Good video, just the echo is slightly off-putting

[@petermohareb2498]

Z3+ Have magnetic to Charge ?!

[@venkat8792]

does Z3+ have magnatic or cordless charger?

[@sweetxlboyz]

+Venkatesha c naidu Nope,

[@Itsthebrowneyez]

3100 vs 2900 battery will it make a difference I don't think so

[@jericcarino]

Itsthebrowneyez i believe so. they optimized the z3+ to have better battery life in spite of the smaller body. :)

[@ziich1]

I pretty sure even apple does more for an incremental update

[@bikeracedude6454]

Which are best?

[@IslamFaroukDesign]

try to eliminate the environment sound effect "delay"

[@tech_edit]

Islam Farouk Thanks for the tip! Hope you enjoyed the video in-spite of the room echo :)

[@IslamFaroukDesign]

Btekt You are amazing & I think that you will be the reviewer number 1 on youtube in a year or two & i am a perfectionist like you so i hope you don't mind giving you tips once in a while :)

[@balkangetaway]

I have the z 2 and was waiting for bigger battery. Such a shame to see them go the other way as the battery and waterproof is the only thing keeping me with Sony.

[@MrinalSinghslacker]

does z+ have finger print sensor

[@KeezyGaming]

+Mrinal Singh Nah man just the Z5 and above

[@EileenTheCr0w]

Sad they abandoned the magnet port.. Was the best charger in all of Android.

[@aaaaa24aaaaaa]

Doesn't the z3+ have 4gb of ram?

[@ShadowAussie101]

MicroSD Slot?

[@warrenpietersz1380]

You haven't updated your xperia device's walkman to music yet? Why is that...? Is it because it sucks?

[@epickelok]

Does it support quick charging?

[@tech_edit]

Kelok Chan Yes it does - Quick Charge 2.0, though that isn't likely to be as fast as Samsung's S6 Edge's fast charging.

[@emadmohamed4999]

Btekt Actually Sony's one is better than the s6 they released a new one for Sony Xperia Z3+ ( Quick Charger UCH10) which let u charge for 10 minutes and use for up to 5.5 hours while Samsung's one let u charge for 10 minutes and use for up to 4 hours . Sony Quick Charger UCH10 : www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/quick-charger-uch10/ Samsung's Quick Charge : www.samsung.com/uk/galaxys6/

[@phallatep8739]

Z3+ or Z4?

[@ChristofferBeurling]

Thanks for the video . Just bought the phone as i smashed my z3 to bits today :( really loved it so will love the z3+ as well i believe. Oh and love that the charger now is at the bottom!!!

[@juanxaviersantossalvador2866]

I'm in love with this phone. I'll have it. Thanks for posting

[@xZeqlow]

are both water resistant?

[@MrJohnxxx21]

Yes! :) IP68 which is not bad.

[@d-shiznitfam5412]

was my phone glitchy
