as I wind down the days here at Aoife in Berlin 2014 I wanted to bring you one that you guys were requesting and to look at the Xperia z3 versus the Xperia z2 now we will obviously start with design but that is where the z3 has its main upgrades over the Xperia z2 as the list is a little bit short when it comes to talking about what has really changed from one to the other but the z3 as design does bring a much rounder look much softer on the sides and in the frame mostly and that does give it less rigidity as was found in the Xperia z2 though it wasn't uncomfortable by any means it just is even better now on the z3 you do get still the ports on the sides and after that the design mostly stays about the same we will have a better look at the front facing speakers here as they are a little bit smaller they're not all the way flush into the very lines of the phone and they should still provide a pretty good sound performance but from there it is a little bit lighter does e3 is 152 grams it's something that you will feel when you compare but for the most part the feel and the weight still still feels pretty much the same the z3 underneath the surface has that 1920 by 1080 P resolution screen at 5.2 inches which is largely the same as before and still brings the same great performance with the triluminos and x-reality engine but also the viewing angles are also about the same which they have already been improved in the z2 and continue to be just as good in the z3 the Snapdragon 801 now at 2.5 gigahertz is what you get here along with 16 or 32 gigabytes of storage and three gigabytes of RAM so you will have pretty much the same performance package but we already knew it was working really well in the Xperia UI which is still pretty simplistic and minimalistic which is what we love about it and it still maintains a very good look and performance even with additions like these small apps and all of these Sony additions and the applications which mainly include the PlayStation connectivity this year or in this release rather in which you can connect to your PlayStation 4 and be able to play your games remotely via these phones and the tablet that was also released after that the camera is the twenty point seven megapixel camera that you do already probably loved from the original z2 and it brings all the same power with a few extra modes built in and finally in the battery do get a bump up to a 30 100 million power units but Sony has really been Tooting that the battery performance on here is even better than before and you should be able to get 2 days on average out of this phone and we probably want to be putting it past them because there are already some great power saving features that have been a trope of the Xperia line for quite a while so that's just this closer look at the Sony Xperia z3 one compared to the z2 yes we do have a 6-month release cycle but that doesn't mean that there aren't some enhancements here if you already loved the z2 experience then we wouldn't blame you either way if you decided to not go to the next one or if you decided to go to the z3 because you want that updated look and feel so keep it tuned here at Android 30 for our future review of the Xperia z3 and remember that we are your source for all things Android
