The Z3 is powered by 2.5 GHz Quad Core Snapdragon 801 processor, and runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat. The Z3 supports 4K video recording, while having a 16GB internal storage that's expandable up to 128GB with a microSD. The Z2 and Z3 are very much alike in looks.
Sony says the battery life is better with Z3, as it lasts for up to 2 days, with its 3100mAh battery.
The Z3 still has the 20.7 megapixel camera, but with a new 25mm wide-angle Sony G Lens that allows you to take a wider range shot. It also has the 2.2 megapixel front camera.
Many will appreciate Z3's new PlayStation 4 streaming feature. Using the PS4 Remote Play app, you are now able to stream games from your PlayStation 4 and use your PS4 controller to play the games on your Z3.
The new Z3 comes in black, white, copper and silver green.
