Sony Z3 review

Fully Balanced Design:

The OmniBalance design of the Xperia series is impressive. The body is slim, stylish and sturdy, making the powerful configuration, excellent performance and strong waterproof function even more incredible, bringing an advanced user experience. The OmniBalance design style has become one of the symbols of the Sony Xperia series and has become a popular and tasteful aesthetic standard. The full balance design is in line with Sony's design DNA, and it is rumored that the Sony Z3 will push this design style to a new high: after the Sony Z2 reduced the thickness of the body from 8.5 mm to 8.3 mm, the Sony Z3 is expected to break the thickness limit again. At the same time, in the more compact body, the functions of photography, waterproofing, and audio will also be improved.

Three-proof function:

Sony Z2 cleverly combines the texture of metal and glass, and its "fully balanced" design is very exquisite. Its excellent dust and water resistance and balanced hardware configuration make it the most worthwhile model to buy in 2014. Since Sony Z3 is a new generation, it will definitely have breakthroughs in design and function. From this perspective, Sony Z3 seems to be more worth looking forward to. In addition, Sony Z2's waterproof function is also the highest level among the current mainstream flagship models. It is rumored that these high-end features are expected to be further upgraded in Sony Z3.

Not long ago, Sony UK posted this picture on social networks. "We will dive deeper at IFA2014, but how deep?" Sony kept netizens in suspense. However, the large 2m lettering seems to indicate that this product will be able to work underwater at a depth of 2 meters.

Waterproof and dustproof functions have always been the signature features of the Sony Z series. The IP58 dustproof and waterproof function of the Sony Z2 can support working under 1.5 meters of water for half an hour, which is the highest waterproof level at present. If the Sony Z3 can really work under 2 meters of water, it means another breakthrough in waterproof function.

The Xperia Z series made the triple-proof feature popular on smartphones, and the camera function has always been one of the most proud features of Sony, which has hard currency in the field of digital imaging, such as Exmor RS image sensor, BIONZ image processing engine and G lens. The rich picture may indicate that the camera performance of Sony Z3 will have a greater breakthrough in low-light environment.

Troika:

Sony's balanced advantages in sensors, lenses, and processors have always been recognized by the industry. Exmor RS sensors (IMX 240 belongs to this series), G lenses, and BIONZ image processors constitute the indestructible imaging system of the Xperia series of smartphones.

Apart from Nokia's 40-megapixel sensor that relies on interpolation technology, Sony's 20.7-megapixel sensor has always been exclusive to the Sony Xperia Z series. Sony Z3 will obviously continue to maintain this advantage. Whether it is Note 4 or iPhone 6, although it is rumored that they will use Sony's image sensor, the maximum number of pixels is only 16 million. Therefore, in the second half of this year, Sony Z3 will still be the smartphone with the highest photo resolution and the largest sensor size. There are rumors that Samsung Note 4 will use Sony's IMX240 image sensor. Although Sony's image sensor is a golden sign in the field of smartphones, Sony has always been "fat water does not flow to outsiders", and the best will always be reserved for its own Xperia series phones. If Note 4 uses IMX 240 sensor, what will Sony Z3 use?

G lenses are available only in

Since the Minolta era, the G lens marked by a golden ring has been one of the quality assurances in the imaging field. Its large aperture, AD lens, circular aperture, aspherical lens, floating focus system, high-quality lens body and other highly appealing features have made it long-sought after by enthusiasts.

In the field of smartphones, G lenses are still exclusive to Sony's Xperia Z series, and their advantages are very obvious.

Thanks to the aspherical lens of the G lens, the edges of the wide-angle lens of the Sony Z2 are not obviously deformed.

Take aspherical lenses for example, this technology can minimize the image distortion at the wide-angle end. Although many mobile phones claim to have wide-angle lenses, when taking group photos, the portraits at the edge of the picture are severely distorted, which makes people unbearable to look at. However, thanks to Sony G lenses, Xperia series phones do not have this problem, allowing you to capture more people and wider scenery without leaving any traces.

Control the imaging system and design the body with ease

In addition to the Exmor RS sensor and G lens, BIONZ image processing is also one of Sony's unique skills. Sony can be said to be the only manufacturer in the smartphone industry that controls the entire imaging system technology, which ensures the image quality of the Sony Z3.

As a key part of the smartphone, the imaging system will also affect the overall design of the body. There are a lot of news confirming that the iPhone 6 camera will have to adopt a raised design like the iPod touch. This is a compromise that the iPhone has to make in order to balance the thickness of the body and the thickness of the camera components. Of course, it will also bring with it the risk of the camera being easily worn out.

The protruding camera has always been a design that has been criticized. Obviously, Sony's fully balanced design avoids this embarrassment that the iPhone 6 will face. Combined with the recent rumors that the iPhone 6 will use camera components provided by Sony, everything becomes even more interesting: as the largest supplier of smartphone camera components, Sony obviously has an absolute say in this key component, which not only affects the camera performance of the phone, but also affects the thickness of the body.

Sony's strong technical strength in the field of imaging has always been coveted by the "upstarts" in the smartphone industry, which is why fans are celebrating the fact that the Note 4 only uses the IMX 240. The Sony Z3 is actually the one that integrates these superior technologies.

Sony Z3 will eventually make excellence penetrate into every detail and strive to live up to every expectation! After self-breakthrough, Sony Z3 will definitely refresh your "view of mobile phones" and let you be shocked by the Xperia series again!
