Sony presented during the IFA fair only one, but impressive smartphone. Looking at the Sony Xperia XZ3, we can finally say that Sony has undergone major changes.

Sony Xperia XZ3 is the first phone of this brand with a highly curved display glass, which, combined with even more streamlined back, makes the device sensations perfectly match the hand, and at the same time it looks really good. Finally, we finally have discreet and narrow bezels around the screen, and the casing is waterproof (IP68).

Unfortunately, I did not like everything. The back of the smartphone is very susceptible to dirt, and the not-so-nice positioning of the fingerprint reader has been repeated, heavily criticized in earlier models. I was also saddened by the fact that there is no mini-jack ...

On the other hand, an additional key for operating the camera was left behind, and a new interface element was added - the ability to control tapping on the side of the housing. It's a bit like the idea of HTC, with the difference that instead of squeezing, in Xperia there is just a light touch.

The interior of Xperia XZ3 can be called the flagship, although not everyone will like the amount of memory. We have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory, which can be expanded with a microSD card.

The heart of the phones is the top processor Snapdragon 845, equally impressive is the pOLED display with a diagonal of 6 inches and QHD+ resolution, supporting HDR and X-Reality. It is covered with Gorilla Glass 5.

The technologies of DSEE HX and aptX HD take care of the sound system, working with stereo speakers with a mechanical vibration system, enhancing the experience of playing or watching movies.

In the photo part, we have a front camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels and a rear camera with a matrix of 19 megapixels, a lens with a f/2.0 light and the ability to record slow-motion movies at 960 fps.

All this is powered by a 3330 mAh battery, and controlled by the Android Pie system. The phone is available in black, white, burgundy and green.

Sony Xperia XZ3 will be available for pre-sale in early September, and deliveries should start at the beginning of October. The price, unfortunately, has not been announced yet.
