Premium design and the highest waterproof rating

Xperia Z3 is the smartphone that does more and goes further – whether further is a run in the rain or a dive into the pool on a sunny summer holiday. With the highest waterproof rating*, you can find your way in a downpour, take pictures underwater or just wipe off your phone after an unexpected spill. Combined with a super-slim body and aluminium frame, Xperia Z3 is the Android smartphone that teams durability with beauty.

Snap away with a waterproof smartphone

With the waterproof Xperia Z3, you can take pictures with the best smartphone camera while swimming in fresh water for up to 30 minutes. You can even dive down to 1.5 metres with it. Just remember that all the covers for the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot and the memory card slot must be firmly closed.

4K – Ultra High Definition video recording

Sony’s best phone camera, the Xperia Z3 lets you capture everything you see in brilliant high-resolution 4K video. Four times the detail compared to Full HD 1080p image quality, your footage is delivered in Ultra High Definition, for unparalleled sharpness full of authentic details. This model supports 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution and playback on a 4K TV or projector using the latest MHL 3.0 connector.

The only smartphone with PlayStation®4 gaming

Don’t let your console decide where you game. With PS Remote Play you can seamlessly switch from your PS4 console to your smartphone or tablet – and take your gaming to another room. Just connect your Xperia device to your home Wi-Fi, and play games using the DUALSHOCK®4 controller. Pick up the battle where you left off, or start a new one away from your console.

Incredible speed and power

For lightning fast web browsing, super fluid UI and impressive multi-tasking, we’ve kitted this Android™ device with the latest and most powerful quad-core Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 801 processor. The Krait 400 CPU has an impressive max clock speed of 2.5 GHz. And since the asynchronous processor makes sure that each core is powered independently, you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don’t.

Ultra-fast LTE/4G technology

This device has the industry’s only 3rd generation LTE/4G modem. This enables blazing Internet connections with download and upload speeds that are twice as fast, so file transfers and media streaming is smoother than ever.

A viewing experience you won’t forget

Xperia Z3 raises the bar in brightness, with display luminosity that goes above and beyond what you’re used to. Combined with Sony’s intuitive contrast enhancement technology, viewing is sharp even in bright sunlight.

Always a great viewing angle

Thanks to IPS technology, your Sony smartphone offers an improved viewing angle. So you get super sharp images and accurate colours, no matter which angle you’re looking at your device from.

Block out the noise

Xperia Z3 comes with built-in Digital Noise Cancelling technology that reduces exterior noise by up to 98% when paired with the MDR-NC31EM headset. The technology removes the lower-frequency parts of the noise, preventing the high-frequency part of it from reaching the ear. This way, a noisy bus or a busy shopping centre won’t stand in the way of a great listening experience.

Connect it all with just one touch

Have you ever spent hours setting up connections between various gadgets in your home? Well, now those days are over. NFC (Near Field Communication) gives you a quick and easy way to wirelessly connect all your electronic devices with just one touch. See photos or videos from your smartphone on your TV. Or play music through a wireless speaker. No fiddling with cables, buttons or settings. Just pure entertainment – just so easy.
