Its a bit heavy though. I really liked my old z3+ copper, also better and more beautiful copper cover, than their new touch cover, but i guess i will get used to xz3 after a while.
Hey fella. I have had the Sony XZ3 , since the day it came out . Upgraded from.my Sony XZ Premium. I love the Xz3, it's fast, sound is excellent and the display is just awesome.
@@RayHamidi Yes!! Slightly larger ram, two generations of chipset higher and though the z5 premium is 4k -trust me the 2k display on the Xz3 make the z5 look bad in comparison.
Masterprima This is not Samsung you’ll be good don’t worry it has almost stock android so not much of a bloatware ui... you will get better mileage out of a ram
I agree as well. Samsung and Huawei advertisement are everywhere. Ans Sony is nowhere to be found. Maybe they boost their ad strat just a tad bit. Maybe have an agreement with their bussiness partners to display Xperia ads everywhere.
at least give some ps4 in-game gifts to those who paired their ps4 with their xperia phones i think everyone using playstations and this would at least show worlds that sony is also a smartphone company
What Sony really needs to do is actually enter into negotiations with US carriers to actually sell their devices over here at a useful volume. Oh, and they should probably go ahead and integrate the CDMA radio so they don't have to produce an entirely separate device for Verizon.
Please keep reviewing Sony Gear... Not only phones, all their Gears... We need such content on youtube. And I need this Amazing wallpaper on your XZ3... Please source...
I'll try. Haha lol yeh that background it a WhatGear exclusive, it's not available for download anywhere. Send me an email at www.WhatGear.net I'll send it to you.
Same here, I grew up with Sony products and currently using Sony Xperia XZ Premium (international version) best smartphone that I've ever used so far. I'm excited for next Premium series next year. XZ2 Premium is good too but I'm hoping Sony will make an OLED in Premium series with 4K HDR display. :-)
I'm a big Sony fan, they call me AnSony 😂😂😂. Somehow I like how Xperia is struggling with sales, they always try harder to innovate and create a real stunning phone. The headphone jack is a big loss though but oh well, Sony is going with the time/hype (i guess). I won't blame them it's somehow standard these days to ditch highly useful features. Overall I like the XZ3. I'm kinda shocked though cause XZ4 already announced for Feb 2019. Too soon.
Sony bring me back the rectangular/edgy design (xz premium and back) for God's sake, im a Sony user since k750i and don't like this generic round edge kinda design (esp the curved back cover) which everyone is following in a way or other way please 🙏
That's what kept me with sony as well, i loved the sleek and edgy design, like a peace of glass. If i liked that curvy slippery design i would have had a samsung galaxy long time ...
For someone who've used all Sony flagships from 2014, I can't say xz1 series had best fps placement, I prefer the ambient flow fps placement better than loop surface
Picking it up, the finger lands naturally on the fps, trust me, I've used both xz2 and xz2 premium, the muscle memory gets it fast, just like this reviewer has said, you might even find unlocking upside down, because accustoming to it is easy
Totally agree with you. I own a Sony xz1 compact and the fingerprint is absolutely brilliant. I own as well a Nokia 7 plus with fingerprint on the back and even if it's quite responsive it just doesn't seem right! Maybe it's the phone factor even if I'm 6'4.
@@josephf5036 yea I also have tha xz1 compact, and I just love the design. And that the fingerprint sensor is also the power button is👌👌 I don't like the look of a fingerprint sensor on the back.
Maybe they should have kept the headphone jack... now people will less likely buy Sony smartphones. I can't fathom why these companies make these decisions, specially when the smartphone's top and bottom bezels have the space for it. Another thing I can't understand is that Sony, HTC and Oneplus are companies that talk and advertise about how great their internal audio quality is, but kill off the headphone jack!!🤔😒 LG is still the best and hopefully don't fall into this trend, on the other hand, Samsung may abandon ship with the S10 lineup next year.
Good stuff! US based youtube only care about Samsung, Apple, Huawei because i think they got paid and that's a flaw in doing a smartphone review. When you get paid, you are now biased towards promoting the good stuff only for that brand and not pointing out the flaw/s. Great job, man! Sony fanboy!!!
They don't get paid, they just know what phones get views. Also, 90% of the big tech reviewers point out the flaws in all their tech reviews please stop accusing without any facts
Absolutely brilliant review. Professional and quite humouristic. After owning a sony z Ultra and now a sony XZ1 compact, definitely Sony is my brand again. Looking forward for more videos of Sony products
Man, I wish Sony would push the specs a little harder for the price and get these things in all the US carriers; I would like to be using a Sony device, I grew up with so many Sony devices like everyone else here, but it's just not a wow me phone :c.
ExtRa Info = YES Xperia XZ3 have 2k mah battery.. But Last Longer than my friend's Huawei 3k mah battery.. Why?? Because Sony Software does not have bloatware and near to stock android Experience.. But people love huawei more which have many bloatware.. 40% of your battery is being used by Bloatware.. The old day when i use samsung s4.. Battery drain is so fast because of the bloatware.. after using Custom Rom,, Battery life improve a lot.. This shows that bloatware is eating your battery..
I would love it if you could review the SONY RX 100 Mark 6 compact camera. I really want to buy a small lightweight yet powerful camera for travel. Your insight on this camera would be great.
Actually there is a phone on the market with one fingerprint sensor on the back and under the screen. The Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design. I much prefer the back sensor but having two, why not?

Sony only have themselves to blame for failing in the market. They keep messing something up that annoys people too much. This time it is the silly fingerprint sensor placement. Previous iterations had poor design or a weak camera etc... Always had a soft spot for Sony but can never justify getting one when Samsung and OnePlus etc make better phones for similar price.

there is actually a phone that has a under display fingerprint sensor WITH a fingerprint sensor on the back , its just that its way too expensive , its a phone from last year , the huawei mate 10 porsche edition
I have the xz3 green(6gb ram) more than 1 month, everything is perfect, i closed the side sence, i have cover case and the fingerprint touch id for behind i m gonna tell you that i needed only 2 days yes 2 days to say that it is in a perfect position, i am very pleased of this product everything is excellent.
Completely agree! The no headphone jack is epic fail. Just replaced my Z5 for an XZ1 on upgrade, thankfully my carrier still had some left. The clerk seemed pretty confused I insisted on a unit 2 models out of date. Don't really like any of the pillow backs, they look tacky & render the phone unusable on a flat surface.
Wow, 1 month of use.. Now that's a proper review 👍👍 I hope Sony would bring back the jack, they still have a lot of wired headphones in the market. Stop following the trend of apple, they're going down.. 😁
Sighs again about the finger print sensor. lol. God! Is everyone so used to a to high up sensor? YOu could really see how he really tried to miss it. lol. Im sorry man. YOu really hold the phone in normal usage like you say that... ok. Let go on watching the clip. lol. I am certain I can show you a part of the video where you actually hold the phone differently.... And there it is.... at 8:00 you hold the phone naturally. With the pinky finger in the bottom, and just watch... the Index finger is suddenly in the right spot for pressing the sensor. :-) That is actually Sony idea all along. The fingerprint sensor is put there for a reason (just like the bezels are there for a reason ;-) ) and its when you have the phone in the pocket you dont have to go all in, just pull up and the hand is perfecly where it should be. The same thing if you have the hand like you has from 8 minutes in the clip. The sensor is right where it should be. If you have the phone upside down on the table, its the same thing. YOu can grabb it just like you hold it normally, open it up, and dont have to move your hands at all. If you have the sensor higher up, you have to grabb the phone lik you shows in the beginning of the clip, but you will not hold your phone like than when you're using it. But man it took a long time to see you do that move I waited for, at a second I really though you did hold your phone like in the beginning wich means awkward placing for the sensor. BUt darn how awkward this review felt, because it was so positiv. lol. Darn.... it feels strange. :-)
As what gear pointed out, I Just got it as a prezzie for xmas, the one Thing that CHEESES ME RIGHT Off....... NO Headphone jack! I mean c, mon that is RIDICULOUS🎧🤔😁
Thanks for the info! But you didn't talk about a lot of stuff like its battery life, software performance, 3D creator app (did you ever use it?) etc. Moreover, I was expecting some feedback over the PS4 remote play app, because you do have a PS4 so I was wondering whether you have played any PS4 game on your XZ3 yet? By the way, Huawei P20 Pro Porsche version has a under-display fingerprint sensor and there's also one on the back.
Great, I'm trying to decide if I should get the XZ2 premium or XZ3, which one do you think I should get? I know the XZ2 is cheaper, but it seems to be better when looking at some of the specs comparison.
Been A sony user since Ericsson 1018s. Had my best experience with K800i and so on. Now im still using my XZ1 for more than a year now and still doesn't upset me. Yes, im a SonyFanBoy as well and with that said, i want an XZ3 for an upgrade ❤️ Nice honest review, no biases or what so ever. Even me i have some technical preferences but overall Sony is really a doing a great job on their "millenial" Xperia fones. They jusy have to listen to all the Sony Xperia fans to what they are suggesting and opinions and esp THEY SHOULD MAKE A BETTER MARKETING STRATEGY cause, honestly speaking in terms of usage and quality, if u ever get to use a high-end Xperia, you'll say that this is really better than Samsung or Huawei. Sony just lacks some tricks which these 2 powerful companies have.
You should buy the Hidizs USB-C dongle for the XZ3. Under $30 USD and it's extremely powerful with immense sound. It works well with my U11 and it's the battery efficient.
New to Sony phones an what a phone to start with loving it. Spot on with the reviews the only thing I can say I do is sometimes when txting I hit the home key below space bar. Is the a way to change the keyboard layout or the tabs at the bottom. There opposite on Samsung so just need to get used to it.
@@WhatGear very probable..... My router is about 5 years old. But I'm not the only one with this issue. Sony says the router needs to be "WiFi certafied". Not sure.
You've got a New subscriber and also Sony bug fan like u,i still hope în Sony and i hope they Will comeback to market streight! Nice awesome video 😊😀cheers!
The best fingerprint sensor is the one on the Xperia™ XZ Premium as the power button on the side had been my favorite implementation until manufacturers like the Razer phone and new Google tablet straight up jacked it from Sony.
I got my XZ3 about a month ago as well (did a pre-order on Amazon here in the States) I love this phone, I also have an iPhone 7 Plus. I got The Sony as my work phone, but I'm slowly migrating over to it - I am in the Apple ecosystem and use the watch with a lot of the health apps so will probably do that for a while. I have had other android phones in the past but this is the best one I have used so far. The build quality is fantastic, The phone feels solid and well built (and yes slippery - a case is a must!) The screen is amazing, I watch Netflix on it all the time :-). I actually don't mind the fingerprint sensor, but I wonder if that is because I watched enough reviews before I got the phone that by the time I got it I was ready for it be below the lens lol! I actually have always leaned toward the Nova Launcher, but this time I went with SquareHome (a WindowsPhone style) launcher, and it is really working great for me. I think I have gotten so tired of the app icons (thanks iOS) I just really wanted something different. Kind of funny since I wasn't a fan of the Windows phones when they were around. Anyway, just wanted to say this really is a great phone and I wish it got more attention. Oh yeah, I'm a bit of a Sony fan (girl) too - I shoot with the a900 and a99. Cheers!
How is your phone bro? Some reviews say that the xz3 overheat after a couple minutes of video call or playing games that requires internet. Is that true?
Subbed to your channel because of your love for Sony and like your reviews. One thing about the XZ3, how long does your battery last under moderate to heavy use?
Really disappointed with my XZ3, it's super glitchy, sometimes the camera simply refuses to take a photo, and other apps freeze. The camera doesn't stand up if you zoom in and the lack of headphone jack is very annoying. Battery life has dropped off far too quickly, and predictive text is rubbish. Overall I'm extremely disappointed.
I'm trying to explore other brands for daily headphones but everyone is talking about XM3. I've got the PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, PSVITA, Z4 TABLET, MDR-1RBT, RADIO, ALARM CLOCK and XZPREMIUM. I might have enough SONY as is
I wish they have included dual sensors , since Sony don't need it but they need to realize it. Single len is not able to click bokeh pic properly and thus there comes dual camera ! Second reason is trend and what people wants...users are dumb and they will demand for triple quad aur Penta aur 1000s of lens in their smartphones...Sony need to work with latest trend to have better sales and popularity !
No I'm wondering why you're pronouncing Z as "zee" when you aren't american. Also Qnovo is near pointless because it doesn't "work out" anything at all - it RELIES on you always charging it at the same times every single day. So, if you don't charge at the same time every day, and I know I sure don't, it's useless. Not sure why you omitted the fact that Sony sell the camera lenses to Apple. But they do.
How is your phone bro? Some reviews say that the xz3 overheat after a couple minutes of video call or playing games that requires internet. Is that true?
Does anyone know how much is the screen replacement for xz3 in UK? SONY customer support is useless, lost a week with them and still no answer regarding the price. Like robots asking me to send the phone to be checked by their "technician" when it's obvious... First and last Sony mobile phone for me .
Sony refusal to listen is the reason for their slow demise.. So far there's no Sony phone selling in Singapore.. I feel Sony should get rid of their ceo and head of design for the smartphone department
My Sony xz2 compact is almost the same phone...I don't know why they bothered with 6 month incremental upgrades. They should really focus on one phone a year, at most. Drop the price a bit, and they would recoup their losses from pounding out phones the last few years that barely sell. But I guess it is better to look like you are trying to make money than actually making money for their shareholders.
Loved my XZ3.. But screen now has ghost image of keyboard permanently burned or showing on screen.. Bit of a downer.. Apparently it's an oled screen common fault
Why do do they have only 64 GB intern and not 128 GB... everything else its super cool but I play games and watch videos... that means that the app's only install intern and not extern why...☹😢
Love sonys phone's but as all previous releases go they always miss the mark on making an amazing phone camera instead its always just a good camera. For a company that makes among the best cameras in the world i cant understand why there not leading in the phone camera department. Is it their algorithms?? How can googles pixel range take better photo's?? Sony should have sorted this along long time ago... Apart from that it is a beautiful bit of kit.. Best sony yet..
Everyone get annoyed because sony fanboy have a lot of sony products, but they're never get annoyed about people who always buy apple products WHY...??

But man it took a long time to see you do that move I waited for, at a second I really though you did hold your phone like in the beginning wich means awkward placing for the sensor.
BUt darn how awkward this review felt, because it was so positiv. lol. Darn.... it feels strange. :-)
Damn now i wanna buy this phone even more!
Awesome review man!
No problem at all 👍
As what gear pointed out, I Just got it as a prezzie for xmas, the one Thing that CHEESES ME RIGHT Off....... NO Headphone jack! I mean c, mon that is RIDICULOUS🎧🤔😁
Thanks for the info! But you didn't talk about a lot of stuff like its battery life, software performance, 3D creator app (did you ever use it?) etc.
Moreover, I was expecting some feedback over the PS4 remote play app, because you do have a PS4 so I was wondering whether you have played any PS4 game on your XZ3 yet?
By the way, Huawei P20 Pro Porsche version has a under-display fingerprint sensor and there's also one on the back.
I stopped watching after hearing. WhY dOnT sOnY puT tWo FinGeRprINt seNsORs.
Wtf
Lol
My XZ2 Premium also amazing...
It is awesome!
@@WhatGear yes so cool a lot of improvements...
Great, I'm trying to decide if I should get the XZ2 premium or XZ3, which one do you think I should get? I know the XZ2 is cheaper, but it seems to be better when looking at some of the specs comparison.
@@robmiljus just wait for Xperia XZ4 more advance specs that you will get it ..
Does this phone come with a headphone jack connector that plugs into the USB?
Normally it does...but unfortunately someone stole my one.
🎧 wireless
I have xperia xz3 2 yers wonderfull phone
Dat facepalm 😂🤣
Been A sony user since Ericsson 1018s. Had my best experience with K800i and so on. Now im still using my XZ1 for more than a year now and still doesn't upset me. Yes, im a SonyFanBoy as well and with that said, i want an XZ3 for an upgrade ❤️
Nice honest review, no biases or what so ever. Even me i have some technical preferences but overall Sony is really a doing a great job on their "millenial" Xperia fones. They jusy have to listen to all the Sony Xperia fans to what they are suggesting and opinions and esp THEY SHOULD MAKE A BETTER MARKETING STRATEGY cause, honestly speaking in terms of usage and quality, if u ever get to use a high-end Xperia, you'll say that this is really better than Samsung or Huawei.
Sony just lacks some tricks which these 2 powerful companies have.
You should buy the Hidizs USB-C dongle for the XZ3. Under $30 USD and it's extremely powerful with immense sound. It works well with my U11 and it's the battery efficient.
New to Sony phones an what a phone to start with loving it.
Spot on with the reviews the only thing I can say I do is sometimes when txting I hit the home key below space bar.
Is the a way to change the keyboard layout or the tabs at the bottom.
There opposite on Samsung so just need to get used to it.
The specs of the phone dont seem too divorced from the xz premium tbh.
9.50 Sony doesn't sell camera lenses to other smartphone makers..just the sensors..
Yes you are correct. A poor choice of words by me 🤦♂️
The video could have been shorter... no need for blah blah blah...
I'll keep that in mind
Anyone using this phone in 2021????
Good review, just subscribeed.
Purchased the phone based on your review, thanks.
Now......... How the hell do you get it to connected to WiFi!!!
Really glad you liked it! It really is an awesome phone. I haven't had any problems with the WiFi. Maybe it's a problem with the router?
@@WhatGear very probable..... My router is about 5 years old. But I'm not the only one with this issue. Sony says the router needs to be "WiFi certafied". Not sure.
You've got a New subscriber and also Sony bug fan like u,i still hope în Sony and i hope they Will comeback to market streight! Nice awesome video 😊😀cheers!
Thanks man
@@WhatGear you're welcome, and its hard in a samsung and apple world to be SONY fan.. But Sony is the best 😍
The best fingerprint sensor is the one on the Xperia™ XZ Premium as the power button on the side had been my favorite implementation until manufacturers like the Razer phone and new Google tablet straight up jacked it from Sony.
Subscribed because I'm a big Sony fan like you......
You are now an official Legend!
It is now in my bucket list to visit your house. A Sony Fanboy here. 😂
I got my XZ3 about a month ago as well (did a pre-order on Amazon here in the States) I love this phone, I also have an iPhone 7 Plus. I got The Sony as my work phone, but I'm slowly migrating over to it - I am in the Apple ecosystem and use the watch with a lot of the health apps so will probably do that for a while. I have had other android phones in the past but this is the best one I have used so far. The build quality is fantastic, The phone feels solid and well built (and yes slippery - a case is a must!) The screen is amazing, I watch Netflix on it all the time :-). I actually don't mind the fingerprint sensor, but I wonder if that is because I watched enough reviews before I got the phone that by the time I got it I was ready for it be below the lens lol! I actually have always leaned toward the Nova Launcher, but this time I went with SquareHome (a WindowsPhone style) launcher, and it is really working great for me. I think I have gotten so tired of the app icons (thanks iOS) I just really wanted something different. Kind of funny since I wasn't a fan of the Windows phones when they were around. Anyway, just wanted to say this really is a great phone and I wish it got more attention. Oh yeah, I'm a bit of a Sony fan (girl) too - I shoot with the a900 and a99. Cheers!
How is your phone bro? Some reviews say that the xz3 overheat after a couple minutes of video call or playing games that requires internet. Is that true?
The best phone Sony made it .
Subbed to your channel because of your love for Sony and like your reviews. One thing about the XZ3, how long does your battery last under moderate to heavy use?
Most days ended around 25% for me after pretty great use
I also miss my Xperia Z3 phone.
Sony FPR must have SIDE BUTTON option! wireless headset battery backup - plug headset charging cable in usb-c port!
Does the XZ3 worth the upgrade on the XZ2? Thanks man
The OLED screen is quite a bit upgrade. I guess it depends on how much you can get for you old XZ2
@@WhatGear Ok thanks mate
UnboxingMania Wait for the Xperia 1, I have a XZ2 also and I’m waiting for it
Really disappointed with my XZ3, it's super glitchy, sometimes the camera simply refuses to take a photo, and other apps freeze. The camera doesn't stand up if you zoom in and the lack of headphone jack is very annoying. Battery life has dropped off far too quickly, and predictive text is rubbish. Overall I'm extremely disappointed.
sony fan here.
T610 and countless phones later
Same!
I'm trying to explore other brands for daily headphones but everyone is talking about XM3. I've got the PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, PSVITA, Z4 TABLET, MDR-1RBT, RADIO, ALARM CLOCK and XZPREMIUM. I might have enough SONY as is
had a Sony phone since 2000 this may be the next purchase.
why it is slippery because' it is customary for the owner to be more aware and responsible (the literature) provide by SONY.
Sonyboiiiii like meeeee
I wish they have included dual sensors , since Sony don't need it but they need to realize it.
Single len is not able to click bokeh pic properly and thus there comes dual camera !
Second reason is trend and what people wants...users are dumb and they will demand for triple quad aur Penta aur 1000s of lens in their smartphones...Sony need to work with latest trend to have better sales and popularity !
Yeh I must admit the Bokeh effect is in high demand right now
@sfeirer F Sony themselves said it's because the XZ3 is thinner than XZ2P so the module doesn't fit.
Popularity? Lmao
@sfeirer F dual lenses use AUBE for real time preview, the phone must be thick to have it
@sfeirer F Because XZ2P is a monster flagship Sony device also has 6gb ram.. I have it and its the boss.
No I'm wondering why you're pronouncing Z as "zee" when you aren't american. Also Qnovo is near pointless because it doesn't "work out" anything at all - it RELIES on you always charging it at the same times every single day. So, if you don't charge at the same time every day, and I know I sure don't, it's useless. Not sure why you omitted the fact that Sony sell the camera lenses to Apple. But they do.
I got this phone yesterday. I'm loving it so far.
It's great isn't it
Will get mine in two days. Can't wait! This video got me even more pumped. Thanks bro!
How is your phone bro? Some reviews say that the xz3 overheat after a couple minutes of video call or playing games that requires internet. Is that true?
Does anyone know how much is the screen replacement for xz3 in UK? SONY customer support is useless, lost a week with them and still no answer regarding the price. Like robots asking me to send the phone to be checked by their "technician" when it's obvious... First and last Sony mobile phone for me .
Sony refusal to listen is the reason for their slow demise.. So far there's no Sony phone selling in Singapore..
I feel Sony should get rid of their ceo and head of design for the smartphone department
Sony the best elettronic brand
Subscribed because of SONY ❤️👍
Thanks man
My Sony xz2 compact is almost the same phone...I don't know why they bothered with 6 month incremental upgrades. They should really focus on one phone a year, at most. Drop the price a bit, and they would recoup their losses from pounding out phones the last few years that barely sell. But I guess it is better to look like you are trying to make money than actually making money for their shareholders.
1st where's the d**n xz3 compat?
2nd finger print rear mounted position just a big mess.. Side mounted was practical
3rd Poor the battery 🔋, why????
Loved my XZ3.. But screen now has ghost image of keyboard permanently burned or showing on screen.. Bit of a downer.. Apparently it's an oled screen common fault
Why do do they have only 64 GB intern and not 128 GB... everything else its super cool but I play games and watch videos... that means that the app's only install intern and not extern why...☹😢
Love sonys phone's but as all previous releases go they always miss the mark on making an amazing phone camera instead its always just a good camera. For a company that makes among the best cameras in the world i cant understand why there not leading in the phone camera department. Is it their algorithms?? How can googles pixel range take better photo's?? Sony should have sorted this along long time ago... Apart from that it is a beautiful bit of kit.. Best sony yet..
Everyone get annoyed because sony fanboy have a lot of sony products, but they're never get annoyed about people who always buy apple products
WHY...??
