[Q] Xperia Z3 or Z4? - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I always follow you and find a lot of interesting stuffs in here!! Today I wanna ask you a thing: Xperia Z3 or Z4?? A read all the differences between the two devices, and I'd like to know if it's worth buy an xperia Z4 insted o the Z4. I mean, about the Z3 I like the battery, it's a little bigger, and I like even the processor just beacuse the one Z4 has (snapdragon 810) let me think about all the problem and issues that it had in this period (overheating), but it's even a 64 bit processor, so I think it's better. I even like more, in the Z4, the speaker, the position of them. Long story short:
Xperia Z3 Pro:
major capacity of the battery
the processor, never had overheating
of course the price, lower than Z4
avaiable in italy
Xperia Z4 Pro:
the processor (yes, powerfull, 64bit, but the overheating? just a nightmare?)
the position of the speaker (I did not test them, about quality of sound and volume)
it's thinner
is it avaiable in italy and compatible with all the phone lines?
PS: it's better wait for the Xperia Z5 (rumors said that it will arrive about in september)
Sorry for my english and for the bad way of writing....That is a post to ponder and reflect all together about the best purchase!!
regars guys thanks you

It is good to always get a new phone instead of old model, because after 2 years, your phone will also sell in lower price compare to the new one you buy.

It's Z3+

If want to show the world that you have the latest and the greatest, go for the Xperia Z3+ (Xperia Z4) otherwise Z3 is your best bet. There aren't many improvements in Z3+ when we compared it to old Z3, and also I'm not sure it will get released in Italy or not.

Today I read that xperiq z3+ will be released in Italy. Anyway I'd prefer the z3, both for the price and for the specifics that are not so far from the new model, I don't trust so much the capless usb, but there's the quick charge....[emoji14] I think I'm gonna wait a little longer

I completely agree!

Info
New Phone can be better in some aspect But that doesn't mean worth to buy
If you don't have concern about money so buy Z4 but you need to list wht u need from a phone?
Z4 may have over heating problem but as others said abt Z1 u can put into ICE
but for me as Z2 user none of Z3 & Z3+ worth for upgrade But i would choose Z3+ to buy

Xperia Z4, actually the Xperia Z3+; maybe the rumor Z5 is actually the Z4

Z4 is the z3+
In japan or china is the z3+ renamed into z4
The phone shop here told it also

Z3 does not overheat?
Who in the world told you that?
My Z3 constantly reduces display brightness and SOC speed when playing games or streaming videos...and try 4K recording for few minutes...

I think that the Xperia z3 would be a better buy considering the problem about overheating. the price will be even lower since the new Xperia is coming

[Q] Xperia SP Users, please I need your suggestion on buying SP

Hello everybody,
Actually I was planning to purchase new xperia device... according to my budget, I thought of going for Xperia SP.
The reason for this thread is .. Can I go for SP as I am getting it in 19000 INR from ebay.in.. It is worth to buy or should i go for ZR which is 8000 INR more than SP price..
Will SP be future proof for atleast a year and will it Honami style 4.3 update. or just a common 4.3 update.
What do you think guys please.. suggest me!!!
and about considering the problems SP users are facing.
I don't Know how much is this in €. But SP is a really good choice! Buy the SP!
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
Test the Camera before by XSP. Picture size and quality is no more up to date. Not poor, but other devices (XS or HTC one) make better pictures. All other works great.
Value for money phone
Since I own a Xperia SP for more than 2 months now, following are my impressions. Since I am being critical I'll list negatives first.
Negatives:
Xperia SP's biggest weakness is its camera. Pictures in low light are very bad for its price... pictures in day light are ok, but nothing too good. Pictures taken by SP have more noise in them. So over all SP's camera is very much worse as compared to, say, Galaxy S3's.
The screen is not as good as Super Amoled screens of Samsung's Galaxy series or HTC's & LG's IPS LCD. However, while indoors you will not have any issue. While outdoors, the screen is a bit reflective but is still manageable. I haven't faced any other display issue till now.
Wi-fi reception is truly a bit weaker than other phones, but the internet speed is not affected. Only range is lesser.
Some people have encountered the touch issue when the phone is kept on a table & not in your palm. Some people have also faced a bit of trouble while the phone is plugged in for charging via AC adapter. However, I haven't faced any of these issues.
Positives:
The best part about SP is its performance. Snapdragon S4 Pro is simply a beast and Adreno 320 GPU blows the competition out of water. Current flagships of various brands like Xperia Z, ZL, ZR, HTC One and LG Optimus G Pro all have the same GPU.
SP has 1 GB RAM, which although is not equivalent to these flagships, is enough even for the heaviest of games/apps available in market. However, real racing 3 has some issues. Other games run very well.
Another plus point of SP is its build quality & design. It doesn't look cheap like Samsung GS3 or GS4. The illumination bar at the bottom is a very nice aspect of the design.
The battery performance of SP is one of the better ones.
When used with Bravia Engine 2, the display is awesome while indoors. It is sufficiently bright.
PRICE!!! A total value for money.
So, keeping all these in mind I would suggest:
If you are too much in cell phone photography, explore other mobiles. Galaxy S3 could be good choice in that case. Glaxy S4 mini and Nexus 4 are also there. However, all these cost slightly more than SP.
If 20K is your budget, then go for SP. You won't find a better phone at that price.
If you don't want even slightest of performance issue, surety of many more updates & have the extra budget then you can also give Xperia ZR a serious thought. It has a faster processor, more RAM & better camera in addition to being dust & waterproof. Battery life of ZR is even better than SP's.
Pretty much agree with the post from the_helix.
I think Sony have been clever with this device, they have taken away the things that average/practical users don't really care about.
Do you really need 400+ PPI, 1080p screen, a big internal memory if there's space for a memory card, more RAM etc? They have instead made sure that the processor is top notch, given it 4G and NFC - so you get almost flagship performance at half the price.
Yes some things could be better (there is always something to complain about - the S4 and HTC One are not immune from this either), but with a bigger screen and more robust build than the competition in this price range (the mini S4 and mini HTC One) I think this is the best mid-range phone on the market.
I think it's future proof - but within reason, some games developers always push the boundaries and make software that will only run really well on top devices. I think/hope it will see the next iteration of Android - is it really going to be called kit-kat?
hi,
purchased today my xperia sp in ebay.in. waiting for delivery. so now i being here for have a glance. iam biggest fan of sony till now i used four mobiles from sony, ( J230i, w810, x8, mini pro). and this is my fifth from sony. hope this mobile will meet my expectations. will join u later guys after getting my sp in hands. cheers!
Well guys, I finally ordered Xperia ZL. Thank you everybody for replies.....

should i get the Z or Z1?

im upgrading from the S3 to a Z1 this holiday season, mainly because of the water proofing. Before my S3 i had a SE Xperia Arc S and i miss the quality of Sony. My wife on the other hand has an Xperia U and she wants a bigger phone, her favourite colour is purple and the only phones Sony has in purple are the Z and Z1.
the Xperia Z is at a reasonable price right now and has just about all the great features as the Z1, but is there anything that im missing that are different with the two phones? I really dont want her to be disappointed with the Z when she see's my Z1 is better, she's not a very tech person, will she notice any differences compared to my soon to be Z1?
The Z1 is about 20% faster then the Z.
There is no flap to cover the headphone jack on the Z1, so if you like to listen a lot of music with headphones I would suggest you go for the Z1.
The water proofiness is also a tad better on the Z1

I found it pretty annoying, that is why I bought the Z1 when it came out and did my Z away.
And I love the magnetic charger, I never have to open any flap anymore
I had the Z, had to get it repaired twice and finally returned it because the back glass kept coming unglued. I may have been unfortunate and gotten a bad device (and then bad repairs I guess) but it is a widespread issue with that device (see here) so keep that in mind if you decide to get that one.
The Xperia Z1 feels much more sturdy than the Z and it features longer battery life even though it's faster.
The purple on the Xperia Z looks nicer than the purple on the Xperia Z1 though
well , the Z1 has much faster CPU , better Camera , louder speaker , better display , and the most important thing that u'll really miss it even if u compare with the S3 is the 3000mAh battery !
the Z has got a bad battery , however , its thinner and lighter .

I wouldn't necessarily say the Xperia Z has a bad battery, but the Xperia Z1 has certainly got a better one. The Xperia Z is fast enough for 90% of people, and while I notice the difference, it's not like I perceive it as some ridiculous speed boost. Same with the display, the Xperia Z is pretty much on par with the Xperia Z1 I think, perhaps the colours are a little clearer in the Z1, but the Xperia Z is by no means a bad device.
Loudspeaker and camera are much better on the Z1.
Both are good choices, providing you don't get any trouble with the back glass on the Xperia Z that is.

everyone has got his own opinion , i've had the 2 devices and i really recognize these things , i think you are an Xperia Z owner or u still love it actually
u said 90% of people how or where did got that percentage bro ? are comparing SD S4 with SD 800!! are you serious ? for that i'll say just full up ur Z with apps , games and other media files , lose RAM , then watch it !

I was an Xperia Z owner yes, now I have the Xperia Z1, and I'm telling you that for the price difference currently between the two devices (presuming you get a good Z where the back glass doesn't fall off) it is a tough call if you're not a mobile phone enthusiast.
The Snapdragon S4 (APQ8064: Krait 200) is still a very good processor which is why they based the Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974: Krait 400) on the same platform. They actually are very similar, the 800 is just clocked faster, has better power management, better WLAN, better graphics, USB3 and better image processing. Honestly both provide fluid UIs and a very good user experience.

hmm the only thing that i can agree with you is the price , the SD S4 CPU is an end of generation , the architecture are different bro ! you comparison is not fair because the S4 Pro cant even rich the Snapdragon 600 ! it only beat the Snapdragon 200 .

The S4 Pro (Cortex-A9 with Adreno 320) is better than 200 and 400 (as those are Cortex-A7 based and feature at best Adreno 305 graphics), not 600 or 800.
But that isn't my point. My point is that S4 Pro is good enough. We don't need anything faster.
Also the Snapdragon 600 and 800 do not feature true Cortex-A15 processors if that is what you were referring to when you said they are different architectures. They borrow some power saving innovations (by increasing efficiency) from A15 sure, but they are mostly A9's, not true A15.

[Q] Next Sony Flagship Device

So we've all seen the leaked images of the Sony D6503 Sirius . Is this device going to be the next Xperia Z, in other words the 1st half of the year flagship device ? Only then to be replaced by a replacement of the Xperia Z1 in the 2nd half of the year ?
I've come to the conclusion that the 2nd half of the year models are generally better, they have refined all the mistakes in the earlier model. For example they made the Z waterproof but we were stuck with flaps for the headphone jack, no camera button and an early dock connector. They corrected all these things in the Z1. If I remember correctly they did the same thing with the Xperia S and T. The 1st half of the year flagship take a big jump in design and features but can be a little rough around the edges , the 2nd half devices are more finished in my opinion.
I've have the Xperia S and now the Z. I'm wanting to jump onto the 2nd half of the year devices (Not buy 2 handsets in one year). Thats why i'm curious is the new Sirius early flagship or the late one ?
Does anyone else agree with my thoughts on this ?
RE: Next Sony Flagship Device
well according to the rumors, it looks like a marginal upgrade from z1 but it still sports the same soc and camera and very similar hardware design. personally i do not see a reason to uograde

What usually happens is, in this case, everything before the Z will be left behind in the next major update. But.. this could change anytime of course with KitKat being a lighter OS version than previous allowing for weaker handsets to still perform with new updates.
Yes. I want all the new apps on my Z now, i'm sick of installing ports from newer devices to my current device that isn't even 12 months old !

from the z i will not upgrade until i see a 32gb variant with smaller bezels but that is just me
What good is having up to date hardware when it's not even optimized software-wise?

No. Sirius is just a Z1 refresh. The true next flagship will come later...
the true next flagship phone will crack next gen boundaries
software and hardware and it will come in at a affordable price
Yeah... I don't really want to upgrade to the Z1 because the bezel is bigger. They need to keep it the same size as the Z in future phones.
For me, Z still rules... Z1 is too big!

Yeah, when I got the Z I said it was big enough. But my Z is not wearing the best, the paint has worn off on the corners. An aluminium bezel would resist this better I think.

It does not give any ROI buying the phone now because the S800 finishing its life span in terms of the king of the benchmark. I am waiting for snapdragon 805 that is because it graphics benefit and it would be " future proof" because it is 64 bit. I am pretty sure that Qualcomm is going finishing the support for it because successor of the kitkat would be 64 bit so it will be a good excuse to just abandon devices business is business

the Z was the first proper flagship phone from Sony. Waterproof features and all.
It was the first and there were many lessons learnt from it. ie: flaps, display, bezel etc etc
Thus, come the Z1 which address the issues above (earphones without flaps, magnetic cable charging without opening flap, etc)
Hence, I would think the changes to the new phone itself would be marginal. be it Z2 or Z3 etc.
Even in the looks dept, there wouldnt be much difference because Sony is taking the Omnidesign as the core
The difference would be in the hardware spec IMO
But I seriously hope the camera would be improved cos we have the hardware for it.
I'm still hoping there will be Red for the new phone. I would move if there's Red. if not I might think twice about "upgrading" from Z to Z2

Should I get the sony xperia z3 compact?

Guys I just have a few questions. I live in the US, I always wanted the Sony xperia z1, but it came too late to the market here. So i had to go for the Note 3. After having this phone for almost 2 years, I am thinking about switching to T-mobile and get a sony phone. I wanted the Sony xperia z3+, but it has a high price and it has that overheating problem. Also after having a big phone like the note 3, I am kind of tired of big phones. I am thinking about getting the compact. I know that here is a small chance sony will drop the new compact in the next 4 months and i have a fear that i will pay for a 399$ phone when the price will probably drop in 4 months and the support to this phone might die. So right now 7/7/2015; should I buy this phone for 399 new? (I dont want an used one) Or maybe i should just get the new xperia z3+, or wait for the new compact? I would hate to switch to a cheap phone for 4 months but i might... also I hate that the new sony xperia z3 compact doesnt have those dots on the side to charge with a sony stand/charger. I know this more personal opinion, so i just need some help. I am also in college and i have a lot of bills, I can afford the sony xperia z3+, but it would be also better for my wallet the compact.
Sony won't drop z3 compact soon, as they usually support their products for 2 years from the release. So we will see updates until september/october 2016 ...and for sure we will see Andorid M working on our machines
z3 compact DOES have dots for recharging with docking station! And you can also use a flexible magnetic connector when you travel or just for an easy use (like me).
About the size, what can we say? it's only your choice: it's better you try to handle it in a store. If you want something bigger, z3 is way better than z3+ anyways.
Last but not least, z3 compact has an incredible battery (better than normal z3, due to the smaller dimensions of the screen).
Actually I don't know how American market works because it's usually different from Europe, so I can't help you about the choice from that point of view.
I can say that if a z5 compact will be released, HERE we will see the price dropping from november onwards and z3 compact will be sold until January/February. But I know that in America Sony has a smaller market than here, so it's easy you won't be able to buy it from september onwards.
A universal advice: are you still a student? Buy only what you can REALLY afford (not what you think you can). :good:
honestly, the note 3 is a fairly large phone. going from that to the compact would be way too much. i think you would feel that the size of the compact would be way too small for you. the normal z3 would probably be a better choice.
but i mean, if you have to have the newest stuff, then i would wait. otherwise if you don't need to, the z3/z3c is perfectly fine. i wouldn't even go for the z3+. it has few advantages, and it's the same or worst in most other categories.
i know you don't want to buy used, but i would try it to see if you even like the phone. at least if you got a cheap z3/z3c and then the new one comes out, when you sell it, you don't take nearly as much as a loss compared to having a new one.
Thanks for taking a time to answer me! Yeah i am probably going to get the compact and give it a shot. I was really hoping to get the latest compact.
Z3 compact has the "dots" for charging (if that's what you mean by the magnetic charger connections) and can be used with the magnetic docks for the Z1 and Z2 as well IIRC.
As for he Z5 Compact... IF it is ever actually released (still not confirmed) then chances are it won't be available in the US until the end of the year at the earliest, if it's sold here at all. And since we know nothing about the specs of this rumored device like screen rez, battery size, etc. then who knows if it'll be worth the premium over the Z3c.
I was having the same question too. Its 360 euros in amazon.de at the moment. If z5 compact is released in September then most probably z3 compact will have a price drop 50 euro on October which is not a big deal. It will also have another 50 euro drop in one year from now if you compare it with the price of z1. z3c is already in a good price you should go get iti think

I don't think you can go too far wrong with either.
I went from Z2 to Z3+ and very satisfied (after being iPhone 6 Plus user before that, iPhones the last 5 years).
Main reason I would've got Z3 is that it is cheaper, however the Z3+ is 64-bit and has a cleaner design (waterproof capless USB port) and 32GB internal memory (Z3 still has only 16GB IIRC).
Battery life of my Z3+ so far seems comparable with my Z2 (easily gets through my day), but the Z3+ also has slightly upraded camera sensor (Exmor RS has two digital stabilisation modes whereas whatever is in the Z2 only offers one mode, also autofocus on Z3+ now using phase detection rather than only contrast detection).
So it depends what is important to you. I don't think you'd be disappointed with either. Maybe wait until the Z5 is available at which time all the other Z phones should get cheaper again ...

but bro overheating ishu
Based on my experience of the Z2 and Z3+ neither phone overheats in everyday use. Like any other phone, they get warm when hammering wifi. The native camera app can make the phones get warm and unlike any other phone the camera app will exit to cool off.
Both phones are warmer than my old iPhone 6 Plus and the Z3+ is warmer than the Z2 - they get warm when they are being worked hard. If you want the least warm phone then get an iPhone if heat is all you are worried about.
Sounds to me like neither Z phone is for you if you are a victim of media FUD. There are plenty of other phones on the market to choose from bro.
After the latest update z3+ heat doesn't exist warm very little like any phone. And i mean little, normal. And the phone is faster than lighting. First sony, i had doubts about this phone but i am very happy with it. So.

Keep in mind I am not a heavy user so my phone lasts day and a half with minimum usage.
