hello from Aoife 2014 this is michael fisher with pocket now at the sony event checking out the latest from sony's smartphone line the Xperia z3 let's go hands on Sony's positioning the z3 is a kind of distillation of all the different technologies it's showing off at Aoife and while it's all familiar stuff the iterative bumps do make this a pretty impressive package overall most notable is the 5.2 inch 1080p display which is a triluminos panel driven by the x-reality engine like before but now it's been tweaked with intelligent contrast and brightness adjustments for better performance in the Sun and Sony's also shrunken its bezels down to 2 millimeters which looks pretty cool the camera around back has gotten a few bumps - it's still an X more RS at 20.7 megapixels but you can now shoot video in 4k with the new wide-angle 25 millimeter lens there are more downloadable camera apps to choose from as well and it's capable of ratcheting the ISO all the way up to a staggering 12800 in low-light one two eight zero zero that's crazy Sony gives the phone to presumably heavy use days of endurance on its 3100 milliamp hour battery and it's also bundled in remote play for the PlayStation 4 for you gamers out there and high resolution audio it's all powered by a Snapdragon 801 running at 2.5 gigahertz and shoehorned into a 7.3 millimeter thick water and dust proof casing that comes in four colors and feels well a whole lot like the z2 and the z1 before it if you were expecting sunny to reinvent the wheel on the cosmetic side you were apparently thinking of the wrong company but if you liked its earlier generation smartphones you'll like the feel of the z3 just plenty as well there's lots more from Sony here at Aoife 2014 stay tuned to our continuing coverage from Brooklyn and follow us on social media so you don't miss a thing this has been michael fisher with PocketNow we'll see real soon
