a great waterproof Sony phone that's also a Verizon exclusive but there's another phone just like it that's out there with t-mobile I'm Scott Stein and I'm talking about the Sony Xperia z3 V that's a mouthful to pronounce and there's another phone out there that's pretty much just like it the Sony Xperia z3 you've been following these phones internationally you know about this this has been out for a while and it's finally out in the US with t-mobile now both of these phones under the hood are pretty much the same they both have 5.2 inch displays 1080p really nice looking screens not quad HD which is even higher resolution but you're not going to notice the difference for movies in everyday use and it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor which is fast but there are faster ones out there like the Snapdragon 805 that's in the Google Nexus 6 the Xperia z3 v also has three gigs of ram and it has 32 gigabytes of storage you can expand that up to 128 gigs with a microSD card it has a twenty point seven megapixel camera the same as the z3 and that sounds great actually to use all of its special photo processing modes it's a little down at 8 megapixels but it can shoot 4k video which is fantastic and these can be submerged 1.5 meters for 30 minutes not saltwater though the only other difference between these phones is really in terms of how they charge this uses qi wireless charging so you can put it on a mat this one doesn't this has a slightly larger battery capacity but it actually performed a little worse on our battery test than this but you're looking at about 11 hours so it's enough for a full day of use and then some this is a Verizon exclusive so if you're shopping for a z3 you want that this is your option it's $1.99 under contract they're really pretty much the same phone so know that you're getting a fantastic SPECT phone here that's a little bit uglier if you're going with the verizon model but hey if you're stuck on contract that may be your only option and they mentioned the one best feature of this that's yet to come which is that both of these can stream PlayStation 4 games that feature will be unlocked soon and it works a lot like you would get on your PlayStation Vita there's even a bracket that will hold these in with your DualShock 4 controller a nice perk the Sony Xperia z3 V is a really good Verizon phone but don't forget there are other great Android phones out there and the Droid turbo just launched as well so the weather this is as good as all the rest remains to be seen I'm Scott's time with a look at the Sony Xperia z3 V Verizon exclusive in the US
