September 2014, IFA, Berlin – Sony Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) today
introduces its new Xperia™
Z series flagship smartphones – Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact. Whether it’s
with a brilliant 5.2” flagship smartphone or the compact 4.6” form factor, both
premium smartphones combine all of the details that make Xperia
smartphones great – including the highest level of waterproofing3,
enhanced camera experiences and applications, up to two-day battery life4,
our best audio quality and PS4™ Remote Play2.
“At Sony Mobile,
‘flagship’ now means offering a choice to consumers of enjoying a large screen
Xperia Z3 for immersive entertainment or a more compact, lighter Xperia Z3 Compact that doesn’t ask you to
compromise on features,” says Kunimasa Suzuki, President & CEO, Sony
Mobile Communications. “Consumers
demand and deserve greatness from their smartphone – in design, camera and
battery life. That’s precisely what we aim to deliver with Xperia Z3 and Xperia
Z3 Compact, at the same time as delivering leading innovations such as unique Sony
camera experiences and, for the first time, PS4 Remote Play in two beautifully
designed, fully waterproof
smartphones.”
A fusion of engineering and design
Xperia Z3 blends
design and engineering craftsmanship to deliver beauty that will stand the test
of time. Its 7.3mm super-slim rounded aluminium frame and durable tempered
glass panels showcases superior craftsmanship that is available in your choice
of a new range of colours including white, black, copper or silver green[vi]. At
just 152 grams with an easy-to-use interface and symmetrical design, it feels
right at home in your hand.
For those who
prefer a compact smartphone, Xperia Z3 Compact’s rounded liquid reflection frame with tempered
glass panels gives it and elegant, premium finish. The only smartphone to deliver
uncompromised performance in a beautifully compact design that is just 8.6mm
thick and 129 grams, Xperia Z3 Compact’s design is perfect for one-handed use. Enjoy bold style with Xperia Z3 Compact’s
unique colour range including orange and green, in addition to the classic white and black.
Delivering the
highest waterproof rating, both are fully waterproof3 (IP 65/68), so
you can take your Xperia Z3 or Xperia Z3 Compact with you wherever you go –
whether you’re answering a call in the rain or taking pictures in the pool.
Beautiful design
is matched with powerful performance thanks to the fully integrated Qualcomm®
Snapdragon™ 801 processor[vii]
with 2.5 GHz quad-core CPU with 4G LTE modem for lightning fast browsing,
immersive multimedia experiences and stunning visuals.
Plus, there’s no
need to worry about your smartphone being ready when you are – with optimal battery
performance, Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact push the capabilities of power to
give you a long-lasting battery
life of up to two days4. Or, get even more from your battery with Sony’s
Battery STAMINA Mode, which turns off background functions when you’re not
using them to help extend your battery life.
The
world’s best camera and camcorder in a smartphone1
Capture the moments that matter in the highest quality with stunning
detail – anytime, anywhere. Drawing on years of expertise from Sony’s
award-winning Cyber-shot™ and Handycam™ technologies, Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact
deliver superior image quality whether it’s in low-light, on the move or even
underwater.
The 1/2.3” ExmorRS™ for mobile sensor and BIONZ™ for mobile processing
engine work together to give you photos and videos in sharp and vivid detail.
Plus, you can fit more into every shot with the new 25mm wide-angle Sony G Lens.
If you’re capturing a photo of a stunning sunset, take advantage of the world’s
first ISO 12800 sensitivity in a smartphone5 for better detail, even
in low light.
Shooting a video? Sony’s new and improved SteadyShot™ technology with Intelligent
Active Mode compensates for your movements, analysing dozens of backwards and
forward frames, to predict your next steps and make panning smoother and images
more stable.
For
those most important memories, record clips in super-clear 4K resolution at
four times Full HD. Plus, the advanced video
mode on Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact means you can pause and resume filming, so you can be sure to
capture the perfect moment in one file.
New social camera apps and editing features
will take your camera experience to the next level. Capture an event and your
reaction to it at the same time with Face
in. Add scribbles and animations to pictures with AR fun. Create a movie from your photos and videos with Movie creator. Record from multiple
angles with up to three compatible Xperia devices filming at the same time with
Multi-camera. Or add sound to a
photo with Sound Photo.
All of these new camera apps are added to a
wide range of popular Xperia camera apps accessible directly from your camera’s
viewfinder, including Background defocus, Live on YouTube – by Xperia™ and
Timeshift video.
Tune
in with an audio powerhouse
The mobile music experience just got
re-invented. Sony’s rich audio expertise comes through in every beat with
incredible High-Resolution Audio, so you can hear every track just as the
artist intended when using Hi-Res Audio headphones such as Sony’s new MDR-1A
range. For those tracks that aren’t in Hi-Res
quality, Sony’s ground-breaking DSEE HX technology – available now for the
first time in our Z3 series – ‘upscales’ the fidelity of your MP3 or AAC music collection
as well as your playlists on Sony’s cloud-based digital music service, Music
Unlimited8, to near High-Resolution quality.
To enjoy your favourite music without
interruption, the Xperia Z3
series brings Sony’s Digital Noise Cancelling
technology to the smartphone. Ambient noise is reduced by up to 98% when paired
with the MDR-NC31EM Digital Noise
Cancelling headset - perfect for that busy commute or tuning out the background in a noisy
office.
The front-facing stereo speakers with
S-Force Front Surround™ play everything loud and crystal clear for those
moments when you want to set your sounds free.
Unrivalled
entertainment with the only smartphones with PS4™ Remote Play2
Sony has engineered a revolution in gaming
technology with the addition of PS4™ Remote Play on the Xperia Z3 series. The
only smartphones with PS4 Remote Play, you can now use your Xperia Z3 or Xperia
Z3 Compact as a remote screen to connect to and control your games on PS4. For
those times when the TV is being used, simply connect your Xperia smartphone to
your PS4 via home Wi-Fi and use the DUALSHOCK®4 Wireless Controller with the GCM10
Game Control Mount to continue playing games
anywhere at home on Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact.
Additionally, the PlayStation®App lets you
use your Xperia Z3 or Xperia Z3 Compact as a second screen to remotely watch
the game play of your friends, communicate with PSN™ friends, or purchase PS4
games and download to PS4.
The
world’s brightest display of leading premium smartphones9
Whether you’re playing a game or watching a
movie, your entertainment is enhanced with Sony’s latest TV technologies. With
an ultra-bright display, both smartphones deliver a visual brilliance for a
truly great entertainment experience. Combined with Sony’s TRILUMINOS™
Display for mobile with Live Colour LED, X-Reality for mobile and intuitive
contrast enhancement, both Xperia Z3’s
5.2” Full HD display and the 4.6”
720p HD display on Xperia Z3 Compact
are sharp and vivid even in bright sunlight.
Convenient connectivity and security
Switching
to Sony has never been easier. Just open up
the Xperia
Transfer Mobile app and a few simple actions
later, all of your existing music, photos, contacts and more from your old
Android, iOS or Windows smartphone will be ready and waiting for you on your
new Xperia.
With NFC compatibility it’s even easier to
connect devices and share with more than 160 Sony One-touch enabled products
– such as headphones, TVs and SmartWear including the new SmartBand Talk SWR30.
Bringing Your Own Device to work? It
couldn’t be easier. Work from anywhere with the advanced Xperia Email, Calendar
and Contacts apps, which can be synced using Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®
(EAS) and use your favourite business apps from the Android community. And for
those switching between work and play, Xperia
Z3 is also available in a Dual SIM variant
in select markets so you keep both accounts running in one sleek smartphone.
Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact will launch globally from
autumn
2014.
