Android version and market relevance

Announcement! We need more new products from Sony. This time these guys announced Sony Xperia XZ3. This is a smartphone on Android 9 Pie in 2018.

More detailed characteristics of this smartphone you can see below on the page, and in short we will describe the most important of them. So, firstly, this model receives an update to the version Android 10. And, secondly, Sony Xperia XZ3 has a slot for two SIM cards and supports their mutual work (all smartphones with 2 sim cards). And thirdly, Sony Xperia XZ3 it does not support work in the fifth generation networks (5G). If this is very important and necessary for you, we advise you to choose any 5G smartphone in our catalog. Next about the screen, the camera and the processor with memory.

Screen, body and battery

By the size of the Sony Xperia XZ3 screen, we were assigned to a segment phablets (smartphones with a huge screen), considering that the bezels around the screen are very large (we advise you to look at models with thin frames or frameless smartphones). See for yourself, here is P-OLED-screen with diagonal 6″.

Dimensions of the screen dictate to us and the size of the case. At Sony Xperia XZ3 the case turned out very thick — 9.9 mm. Today you can easily choose and buy a new smartphone with a very thin case. In addition, it is worth noting that the body of water and dust resistant. The battery in this model has a capacity 3 300 mAh. This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.

Main camera and selfie camera

The smartphone Sony Xperia XZ3 has two cameras: main camera (19 MP Wide) and front-camera (13 MP Wide). If you look at the quality of the photo of the main camera, then it will be medium-quality photos and videos.

In this smartphone, the front camera is located as usual at the top of the screen, like in 99.9% of other models. We have collected smartphones with pop-up front camera in the catalog that may seem much more interesting to you. In these models, there are practically no frames around the screen, because the front camera is located inside the case and does not take up space above the screen. The selfie camera only pops up when you activate the front camera mode. Take a photo or video, exit the Camera application. And after that, the socket with the front camera drives into the body. Real engineering magic!

Processor and Internal Memory

Smartphone received 8-core processor Snapdragon 845. If you want to assess the speed of the smartphone and its performance, then do not forget to see how much RAM is installed in it. Sony Xperia XZ3 received 4 GB of RAM, and there is another version of this smartphone with 6 GB of RAM.

Only one version of the built-in memory in the smartphone is on the market — 64 GB and expand the memory can only be using memory cards. Supported memory cards microSD up to 400 GB.

Price for Sony Xperia XZ3: buy or not to buy?

The smartphone Sony Xperia XZ3 got into our price segment “Middle class smartphones from $300 to $400” and began to be sold in October 2018 at a price of $370. Evaluation of the characteristics, probably, you have already folded, and if not, here is our result. Sony Xperia XZ3 is a very smart smartphone with a huge screen and a cool main camera, and the front camera at it turned out simply smart. And to all this we add that the battery here is absolutely normal.

Is it worth buying now this model of the smartphone, we are talking about our status “Droid-or-Junk”. Of course, at the beginning of sales, almost every smartphone becomes a Droid, and we advise buying such models. But over time, the situation is changing, no one updates the Android version in the smartphone, and in six months or a year this smartphone can already become a Junk. In this case, we advise you to go to the DROID smartphones page in our catalog, where we always show the most current models on sale for today. There are variants from different price segments, so you will have plenty to choose from.
