PRESENTATION
Its flagship star, Xperia Z, represents a market of instant T the highest terminal end brand, and Sony has also put in mind to bring us a new version every 6 months or so . Thus, nearly five months after the arrival of the smartphone Xperia Z2, Xperia Z3 entered. Who knows, follows, adopt the Xperia Z family, this new model does not necessarily embody the break. You must write it Z3 changes very little, at first, compared to its predecessor.
Sony Xperia Z3
Thus we are here on the same screen, 5.2 inch IPS panel and Full HD (resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels), but also on the same mobile chip designed by Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 801, the frequency of clock still from 2.3 GHz to 2.5 GHz .... RAM remains at 3GB, which is still a rare exception on the high-end market and storage, always 16GB is expandable via the addition of a microSD (up to additional 128 GB). The camera picture back again embarks once the sensor with 20.7 megapixels optical Sony G derived APN, present since the Xperia Z1, but expanded his camera angle (passing from 28 to 25 mm).
Wireless connectivity side, there is 4G LTE Category 4 (150 Mb / s), Wi-Fi a / b / g / n / ac, Bluetooth 4.0 and a GPS GLONASS chip and NFC. The sound section can count on the active reduction of noise through headphones inaugurated on the Xperia Z2. However, this technology is only available via in-ear headphones Sony MDR-NC31EM which unfortunately and contrary to the French offer of Z2, are not supplied with the smartphone. Headphones worth 79 €, nonetheless. Finally, Xperia Z requires the sealing of the game. IP68 certified, the Z3 can be submerged up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Warning ! Sony goes with nano SIM model.
Sony Xperia Z3
To animate the whole, Sony injects Android 4.4 KitKat, while ensuring dressed the mobile OS from Google with its own interface, which offers not only a different graphical environment, but also exclusive services and applications to the Japanese brand whose Remote play, which could change many things in the way of playing on mobile.
The Sony Xperia Z3 smartphone is marketed in indicative price of 680 €. It will be available in October, in several colors (black, white, green and copper). Let's see if Sony Mobile had the hollow face with this biannual iteration.
ERGONOMICS AND DESIGN 3/5
Since the first Xperia Z and until Xperia Z3, Sony Mobile has continued to try to cut corners and play with aluminum and glass. This time, we leave aside the bevel edge of Z2 to go on a strapping fully rounded aluminum.
Sony Xperia Z3
The overall look does not fundamentally change, since we always recognize quickly design Xperia Z. However, we put a damper on the finishes which, if remain very serious, are less upscale than the Z2. The main reason is to be the addition of plastic reinforcements around the terminal to ensure the physical integrity of the product. A choice that betrays the lack of effectiveness of the coating reinforced tempered glass and the firm which totally breaks the hardware unit that characterizes the usual structure of the Xperia Z. No more built around one piece and welcome to the four rounded lines rather pretty, but evil accompanied by these corners, depending on the color of the mobile, can sound quite "fake".
Sony Xperia Z3
The physical buttons are placed at the same location, with the On / Off button chrome so representative of the range on the right spine, but also the release button of the camera and volume control.
Sony Xperia Z3
The side edges are also relative hatches sealing and protect the USB connector and SIM and microSD card slots. The headphone jack has it, no need to cache to remain tight for the last generation. Finally, the speakers are on the front, but travel over the entire width of the mobile to focus on two small openings above and below the screen.
Sony Xperia Z3
The grip is very nice when you firmly holds the Z3. With a lighter grip, tempered glass slides too for our taste, but the weight loss and the remarkable finesse of all make it a terminal after all still very attractive.
Sony Xperia Z3
Let us now a final component, highly problematic from our point of view: the Xperia Z3 heater, a lot. Too much for our taste and a good part of the terminal (in front as behind). Mobile Web compulsive intensive video game, decision-intensive pictures, capture video in 4K ... these four uses showed a fairly rapid heating and oscillating between 43 and 47 degrees (depending on environmental conditions of use and brightness 'screen).
Sony Xperia Z3
Prolonged use at such temperatures is problematic for embedded hardware. The finesse at all costs seems to have a technical price to pay and it is not very interesting for the user, apart from using the tight side to cool the beast.
Xperia Z3
After 10 minutes of video gaming, the Xperia Z3 already amounts to more than 45 degrees. The heat also gains the front, with a difference of one degree only.
SCREEN 4/5
Sony continues on the path of IPS Triluminos to phosphorus LEDs inducted on the Xperia Z2. It already offers a beautiful display but still perfectible. For Xperia Z3, it is recognized that the engineers of the company have transpired for a beneficial result. The overall quality of the display is enhanced with a high contrast medium 1202: 1 and especially an impressive maximum brightness of 693 cd / m²! Brightness 75% higher than the Xperia Z2. Enough to ensure outdoor readability under most conditions, except of course with direct sunlight.
Read our detailed report of the Xperia Z3 screen.
If the color rendering is not a model of fidelity, it largely progresses from one generation to another and provides a nice balance to the global. Color temperature and gamma deviate from standard telephony to deliver a rendering close to that offer some HDTVs, playing the card of a beach color gamut.
Sony Xperia Z3
And even if the responsiveness of the panel does not reach that of the tenors of the sector (Touch delay of 80 ms here to 46 ms on a HTC One M8), it remains well balanced satisfied before this screen, generous in the dark and ensuring a beautiful picture to watch videos. As for the definition, no need to WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) as the Full HD still seems largely stay the course on this display size. Text, video, images, display accuracy is there.
INTERFACE AND NAVIGATION 5/5
If we were a little teasing, we pointerions finger the little laziness of Sony, which offers almost nothing new in terms of interface to the Xperia Z2. But this same interface is already so efficient that it is no need to shake. So we have a Android OS 4.4.4 - all Google tools are there to start, Gmail Hangouts via YouTube, Play Store, Maps or Play Music - covered from head to toe in a graphical environment Japanese house, with this mixture featuring bright colors of elements in the middle of a dark and sober dominant. The inverse of TouchWiz Samsung fireman style and something of a more cheerful hair that HTC Sense.
Xperia Z3 Sony Xperia Z3 cap2
We find very good additions to Sony, like small management component (sliding your finger from the left edge to the screen center) applications in the main menu. It will display the apps list by topic, date, favorites, frequency of use ... Very handy! The interface also replaces the video players, audio and photo gallery by Android applications Film, Walkman and albums, all offering dynamic navigation and pleasant. Music services (Music unlimited) and video (Video Unlimited) at the request of Sony are there and it still lacks much relevance with a complete course catalog, but most often in SD in VF. Finally What's New groups on the same page multimedia news Android / Sony (apps, games, music, movies ...).
Sony Xperia Z3 Sony Xperia Z3
Ray performance, the Xperia Z3 can of course count on the power of the Snapdragon 801 on steroids to move to 2.5 GHz and a good amount of RAM. Equipment that puts the smartphone prominently on different benchmarks, but mostly results in an excellent optimization, a sensational overall responsiveness and fluidity at all times. We sail in the smartphone, apps and high-speed service. Pleasant.

MULTIMEDIA 5/5
Web browsing is fluid and fast. Page loading, scrolling, zooming, tapping accuracy of the links, readability thanks to the Full HD screen, the mobile web is a delight on this unit.
Sony Xperia Z3
Video playback is based on the film application. It includes both videos transferred by the user that purchased or rented movies and series via Video Unlimited (local playback or streaming depending on the file) or the tour videos with the Z3.
Sony Xperia Z3
Sony approaches the expertise of Samsung, Archos and LG in the field with a broad file compatibility and Full HD 1080p playback with management very effective subtitles (MKV and AVI containers).
Z3 rr3
Side games, we are left with a made perfectly identical to the Xperia Z2, since it is the same platform Snapdragon Adreno 801 GPU + 330 and 3GB of RAM. Let us not complain, we have here one of the best machines to play the Android family. Moreover, the Z3 and its stooges Z3 Compact and Z3 Tablet Compact could become killers in the field once the Remote Play on.
Z3 dt2
Behind this name hides probably the biggest innovation for the Xperia family: to play to the PlayStation 4 on mobile. The Xperia Z3 connects to the PS4 in Wi-Fi and so takes the place of TV. Then simply connect the controller to the console to the smartphone via Bluetooth and voila. Diabolical.
Z3 remote play ok
The application will however be active in November (via a firmware update PS4), but we could test the thing during the IFA in Berlin. The operation is impressive responsiveness. Highly November so. However, it is quite incomprehensible, from the user perspective, that Sony does not offer Remote Play on the Z2, it has an almost identical hardware. Sony side, especially one must say that it is difficult to justify an interest Z3 full rate if the Z2 to 30% cheaper today features the same great option at the same time. An even more difficult position facing the owners of Z2. A medium like any other, also of the firm to retain its (future) customers, as it is to stay in the upscale Xperia family to benefit from this undoubtedly "killer app" that is becoming the Remote Play.
Z3 remote play
The headphone output provides power just fine with very sensible distortion. The dynamic is also pretty good, Xperia Z3 is capable of beautiful shades in strong and pianissimo. The width of the stereo field is however not overwhelming. The speakers deliver sound pretty good: light, powerful enough, without much saturation (except at the last power level) and balanced across the spectrum - nothing to do with some speakers that deliver sound very nasal. Spatialization is good and immersive.
Furthermore, it has a variety of settings: dozens of equalization or pre-recorded modifiable, bass boost, a choice of environments (studio, club, concert hall) which primarily play on the addition of reverb, compressor to mitigate the nuances between loud sounds and low sounds and finally a mode "Surround" to the speaker whose result is however rather questionable (the acute phase with no great consequences for the balance frequency).

The supplied headphones offer with an active noise reduction via the phone: you must select the MDR-NC31EM in "Settings> Audio> Audio> Headset Settings" to become eligible. Reducing active noise is certainly not crazy and will not offer you a haven of peace in the subway, but is nevertheless commendable and appreciable provided for ITE office or waiting rooms, for example.
PICTURE 3/5
Sony Mobile confirmed and signed: the 20.7 megapixel sensor with optical G will rock the house. We never were delighted by rendering APN Xperia Z, even though they offer one of the widest ranges of modes, settings and effects. Too forced into the contours, red drift, noise, optical problems on the periphery, clichés have never seemed to match what the brand was trying to sell us.
For Xperia Z3, Sony still refines its BIONZ image processor, also derived from conventional digital camera offers wide angle 25 mm and bomb the torso in announcing sensitivity up to ISO 12,800. Crispy!
Sony Xperia Z3
First, we must understand the operation of the camera. Auto + mode, the sensor offers a maximum of 8 megapixels. In fact, the sensor takes great pictures 20.7 megapixel but offers a snapshot of 8MP, much like Nokia and its PureView. Interest is to be able to zoom into the picture without losing too much quality. To have a full 20.7 megapixel sensor, you must then enter the Manual mode.
Sony Xperia Z3
Another subtlety, the famous ISO 12 800 are only available in Auto mode, ie without control of the user, while the Manual mode, he tops out at ISO 800. Bipolar, AFN the Xperia Z sauce certainly is. Regarding the camera interface, so it gives a Cyber-shot camera and classic side to the whole, it lacks the blow cruelly live information during the shooting.
The Sony Xperia Z3 in our Face-to-face photo.
But while it finally gives Xperia Z3? Undoubtedly Sony has made some progress since the Z2. Self as in manual, the pictures are less dull, sharper and if there is still some small weaknesses in the contours, it is not as supported as older models. The image also takes much less toward the red. Alas the contour enhancement algorithm is expressed with more force than the Z2. Looking more closely at the image, we see too forced contours, providing an artificial hand to a lot of shots. The manual continues to convince us that more auto mode.
Z3 szene
In low light, the Sony sensor is always one of those going for the most light - especially with the famous ISO 12 800 by car - but it also remains studded with noise, affecting the final quality of night photos.
The outbreak is intended faster than the elder, but we are still far off burst fire - rather effective, but sometimes blurs - cannon reactions Galaxy S5 and LG G3. In the multitude of modes include augmented reality, which brings up the screen elements (dinosaurs, fish, etc.), filters or the distribution of live video captured on their social platforms. Among the novelties, we quite like video sharing, which displays the image filmed by several cameras on one screen Xperia. This works in principle up to 3 devices, but we never managed to properly connect more than two. A compatible mode with the Z3, Z3 Compact and Action Cam of the firm.
Sony Xperia Z3
The video mode is gaining a much better stability and capture 4K is very effective. The front sensor offers quick shots, sharp and rather bright, with a very wide angle. Perfect for self-portraits with or without landscape in the background or more subjects.
A set of Xperia Z3 makes a great camera phone, but is not yet up to what it says and a little less balanced than some competitors like the LG G3.
SELF 4/5
With a battery of 3100 mAh, Sony plays against the current: lower battery capacity from one generation to another (3200 mAh on the Z2). A bet no doubt motivated by the need to bring some battery in a thinner shell. However, Sony promises a range equivalent to that of big brother and, in practice, it is ultimately the case. With a basic use of this smartphone, one can easily keep a good day and a half before having to go through the refill box. To kneel Xperia Z3 in one day, it will use and abuse the wireless connectivity, watch streaming videos and play some time. In short, without spraying of autonomy records, the Z3 provides a solid autonomy.
Caution, however, the video game with titles enormously greedy strike battery. It should also not push down the enormous brightness of the terminal that can quickly tire him, necessarily. As for charging, it requires a complete cycle of 2h30.
