I am one of those people who like to try something new ..... Siemens, Panasonic Nokia, Sharp, two generations of the apple, to triple Samsung I have a lot changed and at times even used two phones.
The flatterer comes nobly. Front and rear glass, surrounded by silver / anthracite aluminum. Although slightly edgier than my previous, but very high quality. Sensitive? ... Of course! But my phones have it good with me ....
The screen is of course brilliant and you can actually make out what sunlight. Everything runs very smoothly, though I sometimes had to find two smaller delays in screen rotation. But this can also have been lying on or download software start. The one-hand operation is of course getting used to, but it's a nice size. Had initially thought it would bother me in your pocket ... but ... watch out!
Although the permanently installed battery is charging a little longer, but lasts really well.
The installed sound is ok, though here probably the HTC has its head forward. Generally, this is for me but rather uninteresting, because it does not create a smartphone to inspire me with his onboard sound. The blare all, once you turn a little louder. Then I hear prefer no music, or use Bluetooth devices to acquired
With headphones, the sound, however, as expected, very good. I use this in addition acquired MDR-NC31EM.
The voice quality when making calls is very good, but also had no phone, which would then there really gives me problems.
The Sony multimedia bandwidth is naturally abundant ... and you will be a bit zugesmasht with offers. I for my part really use it much because I access cherished other providers (Spotify premium, instant video ... etc)
Taken these services of course can be wiedermal not delete .... all as expected.
The gaming function in conjunction with my PS4 I have not tested it, but I dare even to doubt that I will use the lot. Still, it's a nice gadget
The ability to open a second window ... like surfing and then calculator, I find it very successful.
Also the awakening of the screen with Doppeltip like it very much. Many Widget`s can be adjusted in size and thus integrated perfectly. Many small additional options that I do not want to perform all .... top
The water resistance for me was not necessarily buying decision ... but works (limited). It must then be probably get some water into the headphone jack, because my phone repeatedly told that that is now using a headset. Through strong blow, but the error was fixed.
The camera is very good and is certainly one of the best. However, do not be fooled by the specified number of pixels to be. To my mind the apple and Samsung is there still the front ... you can see me, from the myriad settings and options from.
Similarly, the 4K video function is obviously a hammer ... but of course, have the least, such a player.
But I have at least the function ..... ;-)
Generally, there are several reasons that bother me a bit, because it was perhaps so used. When "WhatsApp" icon of the small red circle for the number of new messages preserved missing. Why is there in the status toolbar is not the ability to superimpose the dates? When available bet Rapp, but not ..... or I have not yet discovered.
I chose additionally the docking station DK48 because it went a little me fumbling with the tailgate on your nerves. In addition, it increases the eternal groping, not necessarily the water resistance.
Conclusion:
The Sony Z3 is a great phone with many very good features and I would always among the top 10 ... if not classify 5 of the world (as of October 2014). But this is well known, everything is relative. What does one thing, does the other one is not, and vice versa. Since not even use, many users of smart phones 60% of the available functions of a mobile phone, you should also set priorities here. Innovative design, Very bright brilliant display, speed, good camera, outdoor capability .... and absolute multimediality come to mind for Z3. For me, a strong buy recommendation.
and something to complain about, the is always ........ ;-)
