When is an Xperia Z4 not an Xperia Z4? When it's an Xperia Z3+. OK, it's not the most entertaining of puzzles, but it's a pretty accurate description of the state of the Sony Xperia Z3+.Although the Xperia Z4 made an appearance in Japan, the rest of the w...

So where does this leave the Sony Xperia Z3+? In many ways it's a great handset, with a lovely design and some nice extras that you won't find on its competitors. Its media playing capabilities are a particular highlight, and if you're happy to go wit...

Very little has changed in terms of design, with the glass rear and angular aluminium frame remaining largely untouched. It's still an incredibly classy looking handset, though, and is Sony's slimmest yet, measuring just 6.9mm - that's the same as the iPh...
The Xperia Z3+ is a perfectly competent handset, but it lacks that special something to justify its premium 'plus' status. It wouldn't be so bad if the Xperia Z3 was no longer on sale, but the fact you can now pick one up for £400 SIM-free or £33.50-per-m...

Across the previous generations of the Xperia Z range, there's always been some evolution in terms of design. Not the case here. The Z3+ is almost a carbon copy of the Xperia Z3. It's just a little more compact and the "shock-absorbant" corners of the fra...

The Xperia Z3+ is easily the worst in the current line-up of flagship smartphones. It offers very few improvements over the Z3 and some things, like the camera and screen, have even regressed. But its biggest problem is Sony's apparent inability to tame a...

Sony has been moulding its Xperia Z-series flagship smartphone line into the perfect model. Well, it more-or-less achieved that with the Z3 towards the end of 2014, so for the new Z3+ to arrive mid-2015 led us to believe we'd be getting more hot stuff. O...

From the lofty highs of the Z3, the Xperia Z3+ is, ironically, a big minus against Sony's Z-series. It's hotted things up in terms of design, but also all too literally: that Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor gets excessively hot, causing issues wit...

The Sony Xperia Z4 was supposed to be the last major flagship launch of 2015, but following a quiet launch in Japan earlier this year Sony decided to rename it before bringing it to Europe. The Z4 became the Sony Xperia Z3+, and what had been set to be on...
After getting up close and personal with the Z3+ for the first time, I have to admit I'm more than a little underwhelmed. Yes, I admit the Z3+ looks a little nicer than the original, and it's likely to be much quicker, too, but is that really enough in to...

Sony's made a habit of updating its flagship phone every six months or so, and the Z3+ is the latest example. It's taken a little longer this time around, but the Z3+ is the ‘six-monthly' update to the Xperia Z3 that was launched in September last year. I...

Sony's Xperia Z3 had received very good reviews in 2014, with many (us included) hailing it as the best Xperia device ever. With the Xperia Z3+, Sony has upped the spec ante while largely retaining the design of the Z3. The catch is that all this comes wi...

It looks smart and is a very good performer, but the Rs 55,990 price tag does seem very high for the Xperia Z3 Plus, especially when you consider that the rival flagships from LG(the G4) and Samsung (the S6 Edge) cost lesser and offer better cameras and d...
