_____________________________________
1) Buying
The smartphone I can get relatively cheap in the course of switching suppliers. In combination with an extensive collective smartphone is perfect for me. Without tariff smartphone would be too expensive for me.
2.) Package
Along with the main unit has been included the following: power supply, USB cable, headset
Short something to headset: The sound quality I like very well, but I find the process is not very convincing.
3.) processing quality and appearance
Let's start with the front:
The is designed really great. Looks in my opinion very modern. The design is very simple but good like me. The materials used are very high quality, which feels like it to. Also quality is processing. The front is made entirely of resistant Gorilla Glass. As with all Xperia predecessors are employed here on on-screen buttons, I would soft-touch keys below the display have preferred, but that would probably be difficult to achieve. Above and below the display are two small recesses in which the Speaker of the Z3 are. So much for the front.
Laterally:
The side frame of the smartphone consists largely of aluminum. Left and right are flaps, among which are all the slots. The valves make it possible to make the device against water and dust resistant. The valves are placed so that they do not interfere in the open state, for example when charging the device on.
At the corners are built small rubber segments. These rubber parts to avoid the phones on the ground damage the display at fall. That makes sense and interfere optically.
Back:
The entire back of the device is made of mineral glass. The look like me quite well, but is a matter of taste. The back attracts fingerprints formally that bothers me a little. You must therefore clean the unit regularly. The one negative to me the fact that the rear of the unit is scratched very quickly. That's too bad. As a remedy against the scratches I'll buy myself a protective cover that makes the device fatter, but offers good protection.
Overall I can say that processing leaves nothing to be desired. I could find neither gaps nor other processing errors. As I said, the look like me well, but I would again mention that the taste of one person to another is logically different.
4) Display and speakers
Please see more detailed information such as the resolution or pixel density data sheets, I'm just about the actual results.
Now for the display: I am totally convinced of the finely adjustable display brightness. I have the following devices to the Z3 compared: HTC One M7, HTC One M8, iPhone 5. The brightness of Z3 can be set at best. The adjustable range of brightness is at two HTC devices significantly less than with iPhone and Sony. The Z3 and the iPhone 5 are equal in this respect. The Z3 can be convincingly set brightly and convincingly dark. Logically, to set the brightness to the minimum, can not see it at the side view of the display. If the sun shines directly on the device, you can see everything at super automatic brightness, even with inclined view of the smartphone. As I said, the screen is extremely bright, I like that.
The resolution of the display leaves nothing to be desired. HD images are displayed extremely detailed and sharp. I like the resolution and the representation of various objects in the menu very, very good. I was the display in this respect convincing genuine.
Nevertheless, there is something negative to report, namely the following: The color fastness I find less well. Although you can tweak some settings, but I find the color rendering of this Sony device not outstanding, the other devices can be better.
The white balance / white balance of the display, however, convinced me again, here I can only report positive.
Among the speakers:
Reportedly, they are located exclusively on the front panel. The recesses of the speakers are quite small, you think the sound is not convinced. Think again. Sure, the Z3 can not keep up with a HTC One M7 or M8 in this regard, however, I find the volume and the sound quality of the speakers perfectly fine. Other smart phones sound like a tin compared to the Z3. It's here the Z3 otherwise. The sound and the volume of the Z3 I find quite passable.
5.) processor performance
Inside the Z3 a modern high-performance processor was installed. This works very fast in normal use (round Herwischen between surfaces or scroll) and provides a decent performance. To test the processor correctly, I downloaded a game with high demands and played some time. Here my little stuttering are unfortunately noticed. This bother me personally now not extreme. In normal games apart from the stuttering anything because everything runs smoothly. But you have to mention that some games and applications will require more and more power in the future, quite clearly, here then can notice this stuttering disturbing. Right now I am very satisfied with the processing power.
6.) front and main camera
The Z3 is equipped with two high-performance cameras. Sony translated to the number of pixels. HTC on the other hand relies on fewer pixels, for larger pixels: "Ultra Pixel". The cameras in the two HTC devices could convince me never properly. But in contrast, I find both cameras of Z3 convincing. The camera interface is easy to operate, I liked the numerous options and settings on offer. Very easy
The one negative to me again the color reproduction. The colors are very unnatural in some cases, I find that a pity. Otherwise, I can say that both cameras take excellent pictures and videos. There are also the possibility to record video in 4K quality. Bring ye not as much, because the display can not play them in 4K.
Special features of the camera:
> Equilibrium stabilization
> Numerous modes to adjust the quality
> Timeshift videos (slow motion)
> 4K option
7) Battery
In Sony Xperia Z3 a 3100mA / h strong battery versogt the inner workings of the device with power. This battery is compared to predecessors something schwächer- but only at the data sheet, because the performance of the battery confident despite reduced capacity. Thus, one could easily get by 1.5 days with only one battery charge with appropriate use. That's a very good value! The Z3 features an ultra power-saving mode, it is called "Ultra Stamina Mode". Here you come out with one battery charge up to 15 days. The battery in everyday life convinced me totally. I can not complain.
8) User Interface
The user interface of the Z3 is very simple. The design can be individually adaptive, here's something for every taste. I could not find a menu, where I did not know what it is about. All settings are clearly explained or self-explanatory. The basic settings are explained clearly. There is really nothing negative to say.
9) Summary
Positive:
+ High-quality, chic and timeless design
+ Good workmanship
+ Clear menus
+ Good camera
+ Bright display
+ Waterproof construction
+ Dustproof
+ Good speakers
+ Powerful processor
+ Good battery long running
+ All the buttons have a perfect pressure point
Negatives:
- Fingerprints and scratches can be seen extremely fast and strong
- Spurious color reproduction
- Camera has weaknesses with the color values
10) recommendation
I recommend this top smartphone really any. I think it's just about perfect.

Addendum of 04: 03.2015:
The device has unfortunately had to survive a fall of about chest height on a concrete floor. The device does not harm them getragen- only minor scratches, no screen Brake (splintering of the screen)
Probably the hard plastic sheets have prevented worse. The device I otherwise still very, very satisfied. Top equipment!
