Sony Xperia Z3 + is official: Snapdragon 810 chip, 5.2 ″ 1080p screen and waterproof

We have the Xperia Z3 + or the one could be called as Xperia Z4, that new version that has been launched only in Japan and that is finally now available internationally, although with an obvious change in the numbering.

Just a month after making the Xperia Z4 official in Japan, we have the international version in hand and that It is the update of its high-end for this year in which we find ourselves, while we wait for the arrival of another in the near future. A phone that follows the same model seen in Japan and that stands out for its Snapdragon 810 chip, 5.2-inch screen with 1080p resolution (1080 x 1920) and its resistance to water and dust.

A new high-end for Sony

Sony brings us back more of the same in terms of design and what is one of the best terminals in terms of battery life. This endorsement comes from what was the Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact with a great distinction in this regard.

One of the most significant details of the Xperia Z3 + is its MicroUSB port which does not have any protective layer, and that even without it it is still waterproof. Sony has found a way to avoid having to force the user to seal their phone before submerging it or having a few droplets fall on the terminal.

Going straight to what we care about, which is the hardware, the Z3 + is a little thinner than the Z3 at 6,9 millimeters thick, and has a lower capacity battery such as 2930 mAh (the Z3 had 3100mAh). Here we have the Qualcomm system known as QuickCharge 2.0 for fast charging. The Z3 + follows the same as its predecessor with: a 5,2-inch 1080p resolution screen, 3GB of RAM, 20.7Mp on the rear camera (new ISO12800) and a good number of options for connectivity.

The most obvious change is the switch from Snapdragon 801 chip to 810, the front camera for a 2.2 MP to the 5MP existing in the Xperia Z3 + with wide angle and digital image stabilization. Regarding the storage option, 32GB instead of 16 and two variants of the Z3 + will be offered, one with a SIM that offers support for LTE Cat 6 and the other dual SIM with LTE Cat 4. Below we make a comparison between the Z3 and Z3 + for a quick look at the differences.

Comparison Xperia Z3 / Xperia Z3 +

In short, the Xperia Z3 + is an update that does not go far of what is the Xperia Z3, although has a few significant camera advantages and what is the eight-core chip offered by the Snapdragon 810. For the rest, we continue that continuity line with a great terminal that comes to improve what already exists and that does not want to mislead by naming it as the Z3 Plus.
