Sony Xperia Z3 for T-Mobile Unboxing

2014-10-29
what's up everyone John render from TechnoBuffalo here's an unboxing of the latest from Sony this is the Xperia z3 t-mobile's had a really impressive lineup over the past really two years and they're bolstering that with the 4k waterproof rocking 20 megapixel powerhouse from Sony let's go ahead and see if all those specs tho line up to make a killer phone so here's the box for the Xperia z3 Sony and t-mobile have partners for a few years now this is the latest sort of fruit of that partnership the z3 a pretty typical box sent to us from their friends at t-mobile it's got a lot of stuff under the hood that's all specs on the back but why bother reading when you can just listen so I'm going to take you through all of that goodness well go ahead and open this sucker up and there is the Xperia z3 all sealed and plastic feeling very thin pushed off the side for a quick sec so what else we're going to have inside of the box we've got a very large wall worth it only has a USB port on it got a micro USB cable and a t-mobile SIM that is probably in the phone so push all that off to the side I want to dig it and take a look at this phone enough about the accessories here is the Xperia z3 it looks and feels really nice I'll go ahead and peel this off ah whooshing noise if I can get that satisfied whooshing noise on the back double my whooshing noise boom there we go I'm gonna go ahead and power it on and I'll run through all the specs we took a look at the z3v for Verizon that was sort of the same specs as this but put into last generation body this brings new body and the new hardware this is a 5.2 inch screen it's 1920 so that's 1920 by 1080 which mean it's got a 424 PPI as they tried luminous display and Sony's displays I've usually looked very nice but I've been a bit hard on them in the recent years they've always had that sort of waterproof ish coating over the screen and sort of made it look a little bit washed out to me with the z3v I didn't see that's I'm hoping that with the z3 that's gonna be gone as well go ahead and finish the setup process so it's got a triluminos display on here it's Android 4.4 for at launch being powered by 2.5 gigahertz quad-core Snapdragon 801 3 gigs of ram are in here 30 gigs internal storage but of course you could expand that with microSD up to 28 the big story is in a little tiny package right there is a twenty point seven megapixel camera that can also shoot 4k video that's not the only camera on here you've got a front-facing two point two megapixel shooter other specs 802 11 ABG and and a CA 3100 milliamp power not a movable battery it's not a very fat phone or a very heavy phone weighs 152 grams it's extremely thin as well at seven point three millimeters or point to nine inches if whatever scale you tend to go with let's do a real quick tour of the device and walk through kind of everything on it so of course you've got on-screen buttons so you're not gonna have any capacitive buttons living down here you've got so many skin sitting on top of Android 4.4 gone are the time to keep a media scape so I need is a really nice job I think sort of adding a little bit while still letting Android be Android on the left hand side of the Vice you've got a connector for presumably some docks and such since this is a waterproof device everything's gonna be sort of living under these little trays that have a rubber gasket around it let's see were charged in sink port on the left hand side buttons on the right though a bit different than what we've seen in the past so if you go ahead and pull this one out that is where you are a sim and micro sd card going to live so you don't have to take anything out to access that a very large and pronounced power and lock button below that is your volume toggle and then you've got a dedicated camera button I really like to have go ahead and push that you see what the camera UI looks like a real fast give me camera a little bit of vibration feedback here we are in the camera again this capable of shooting full 4k video which is pretty impressive let's see it's gonna come up bundled on here so a really cool thing that t-mobile is doing device unlock and you can go ahead and you can lock it or unlock it depending on where you are all via an app it's really cool thing the t-mobile is doing is part of the sort of uncarrier initiative and I really give them credit for that go ahead and look here mostly its stock Android not many t-mobile editions here at all mostly what you're seeing is sort of some Sony stuff but mobile hotspot is there and here's your of your t-mobile things visual voicemail meit's mobile account and t-mobile TV but the rest of that is a pretty stock Android and Sony go ahead slip over to left you can get a quick sort of different view of your apps if you want to a few other kind of neat things Sony does if you go and hit the multitasking button you can go ahead and pick sort of little widgets that can run sort of inside of other things so your calculated and stuff and go ahead and close that and then the rest of it sort of as is if we go ahead and do a little bit a long press we'll take a look at some of the widgets that are here see what the UI looks like it's sort of very clear I can also theme this as well I'll go ahead and pick the widgets you can see what Sony offers here the device sort of has a sort of a black plastic feel to the back what it feels really nice and it's curved so as you go ahead and swipe your finger over it it's sort of got a round feel similar to what we see on the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 plus course it's got NFC on it as well and some very subtle t-mobile branding there real quick size comparison here to see what it looks like against sort of some other phones here is the 5.5 inch LG g3 for comparison and here's what I think a very similar looking phone this is the iPhone 6 with a 4.7 inch screen you see a difference there on both and then on the thickness of each device I should also mention too that it's got the ability to use this device as a screen for your ps4 which is kind of cool you can get a little bit of a mount and you can put it on top of the controller and use as a second screen which is a really neat tool in case maybe you want to play some NBA 2k and your wife is watching a cooking show you know you can go ahead and use this and still get your game on I thank you guys for watching hope you enjoyed anything honestly particular about the device let us know in the comments and we'll be sure to cover it well before review up
