After various leaks appeared in cyberspace, Sonny is now re-releasing his latest flagship phone, Xperia XZ3. This phone is the successor to the Xperia XZ2 released early in 2018.

Broadly speaking, the Xperia XZ3 has a design that is quite similar to its predecessor. The specifications are not much different, but with improvements in several aspects.

Example on the screen. Xperia XZ3 has a wider screen span than its predecessor, which is 6 inches. The density produced by this screen is boosted with a resolution of 1440 x 2880 pixels.

According to the Executive Deputy President and Head of Sales Marketing of Sony Mobile Communications, Hideyuki Furumi, the Xperia XZ3 is designed so that users can enjoy high-quality audio-visual content.

"Our new Xperia XZ3 smartphone is not only beautiful to look at, but is packed with Sony's advanced audio and visual technology that allows you to enjoy high-quality content," said Hideyuki Furumi, quoted by KompasTekno from Sony's official page, Friday (08/31/2018).

He also added that this phone could be one of the mainstay devices for content creators. This is also proven by Sony by increasing the amount of the front camera which initially only 5 megapixels to 13 megapixels with the 5-axis Gyro EIS feature.

Similar specifications

Nevertheless other specifications carried by this cellphone are still similar to its predecessor, the Xperia XZ2. The screen is still coated with Gorilla Glass 5 with a thin edge frame.

For the inner sector, the Xperia XZ3 is still armed with Snapdragon 845 with GPU Adreno 630. The available storage capacity is still the same, namely 64GB with 4GB of matching RAM.

If it's lacking, users can still expand storage via MicroSD to 512GB. Unfortunately this phone adopts a hybrid slot where users have to sacrifice one SIM card slot if you want to use MicroSD.

For the camera sector, the Xperia XZ3 is also still armed with a 19 megapixel lens with f / 2.0 openings. Unfortunately, Sony still hasn't embed a dual camera like most flagships.

The Xperia XZ3 battery capacity is slightly larger than its predecessor, which is 3300 mAh. This phone comes with four color choices namely Black, Silver White, Forest Green, and Bordeaux Red.

This phone with the Android 9 Pie operating system is planned to be marketed at the end of September. Although Sony has not released its official price, the Xperia XZ3 is expected to reach 900 US dollars.
