Sony Xperia Z3+ - User Reviews

  • My xperia Z3 plus model is E6553.I want to know whether it supports VoLTE or not?

  • Oh NO Hell NO, Snapdragon 810 is a defective chipset, it was defective from the design not from clockspeed, 4K is useless only going for some minutes and then turning off REMEMBER: Sony Inside Thermal Sensor is very sensitive, will shutdown the camera when phone temperature only going warmer (i even dont have this problem on Apple Samsung LG phone), yes this shutdown method is still having on X Performance Snap 820 because Sony really take care for longspan battery so Sony phone will go into cooling down quickly than Samsung Apple or LG

  • No point of adding 1080 filming because it lasts only 2 minutes. Camera shuts down because of overheating. Ridiculous

  • battery draining to fast.....

  • All of sony's xperia are hot as a pan and battery only half a day.

  • My z3+ is hot as a pan when I am charging it!

  • I recently bought this z3+ and i did like 7 times of system upgrade. However, everytime it's finished installing. It prompts me again that there is a new version to be updated. Am I the only only experiencing this. It says a new upgrade is to android 7.1!

  • I recently bought this z3+ and i did like 7 times of system upgrade. However, everytime it's finished installing. It prompts me again that there is a new version to be updated. Am I the only only experiencing this. It says a new upgrade is to android 7.1!

  • been using this phone for 3 years and still going strong. the camera is still fantastic comparing to all these new phones with double or triple cameras. Yes, there is an overheating issue sometimes when it's over worked but I usually just run it with water to cool it off. I love this phone and it's simply the best I've ever owned.

  • It is not worth it. By now this model is pretty old (no current updates past year, hardware is a bit low by new flagship standarts). Combined with remaining heat ssues I strongly NOT recommend this device. I think were is more same price devices that would be better option.

  • i was intended to buy today. is it sure it is not working good?

  • Worst phone ever, i will recommend never to buy any sony smartphones, they are shit, i have purchased this phone in july 2016, worst phone ever, i cant take photos i xant record anything, whithin in minutes it will shut camera to cool down, 15 minutes of YouTube it will shut down due to over heat and battery really sucks, front camera, just suckes, even 0.2 mp camera in Old nokia N 72 was good comparatively,each and everything just waste i have wasted my hard earned money in this garbage, really really disappointed with sony, worst phone ever produced on the face of earth, sony should repay me my amount, worst worst worst phone ever

  • Hello every one I am using this mobile since 3years. Performance wise its Awesome Ofcourse I do accept about the over heating I found the sloution for it also Simply just uninstall the unwanted applications especially Facebook & Facebook Messenger, Yes these will kill the RAM speed and make the mobile to get overheated and automatically the apps wont get open Camera wise its the best in class, Music also good overall I am happy with the performance I brought this mobile from USA and I am using it in India from past 3 years

  • I think snap 800 series under 835 have problem about overheating because on system have something part can make overheating. This problem do in mi5 series that has procie snap 821..

  • may be " no android 7.1 for india "

  • Heating problem. When using camera. Then i rest it and this happened it says protected and just blinking all the way. Help please 2weeks can not use my sony xperiaz3+

  • I am experiencing the same problem

  • Anyone in india get 7.1 nougat? I'm not received yet.

  • Any one else having problem with swipe to unlock??? It takes 3 to 4 tries to bring up the pattern or unlock the phone????

  • I have the same question. Everybody's talking about overheating problem on most of sony z series. I need suggestion which has the least overheating issue, z2, z3, z3+?

  • : Yeah Kevin I did play around with the Z3+. Still think the Z3 is the better phone that's why I bought it. Everything about it is great except the side mount charging and the flap, but it's easy to work around !!!

  • I bought my xperia z3+ bearly one and half years ago, Dec 2016 and the experience was good initially apart from the overheating problem. After an year it started hanging while doing simple tasks such as browsing till it stopped. It just couldn't start till I gave up.

  • In the Beginning I could record HD quality videos but after one year it stopped recording videos for longer time than few minutes to say 1 or 2. It started giving heat problem It is so sad

  • Did you even drive the Xperia Z4 / Z3 +? , it is better than the Z3, because it has android 7.1, better processor and it no longer heats up, 32 gb internal memory, it does not have a water resistance cap, it is thinner, it is infinitely better, you are not right

  • the last update is android 7.1, use xperia companion on pc to verify your latest version

  • The Sony Xperia Z3+ with the Snapdragon 810 overheats. The Sony Xperia Z3 with the Snapdragon 801 doesn't. And Ubaid there's no Xperia Z4 only C4 and M4 and E4. The Sony Xperia Z3 is still an awesome cell phone !!!

  • Go for Z3 plus or Z4, i am using it currently and faced no heat-up issues, its my daily runner and i use it for all types of stuff. My brother had z3 it was good for normal use, no major heat-up issue as told on the internet. But i suggest you to go for Z4 as it has better front camera and its result is awesome.

  • Same here bro. Have been expecting the update for a very long time and used to be a Sony fan. But since the time Sony joined the rat race and started forgoing useful features in every new release, I have given up on expectations. Now finally decided to move on and going to buy the true flagship LG G7+, as it doesn't compromise on features.

  • please guys, sony xperia z3+ and sony z3 which one has less overheating problem

  • I have a sony Xperia Z3, my phone seems to have a mouth piece problem, when i speak people cant hear me, could there be a problem with the phone setting.

  • Well, Qualcomm screwed up there last time...

  • I'm from india and xperia z3 plus user for more than 2 years and i have a query that why xperia z3 plus indian specific model E6553 doesn't get any of software update since march 2017 which is stuck to build version 32.3.A.2.33? Last Update was android 7.1.1 nougat released on September '17 for global model build version 32.4.A.1.54 which fix most of the bugs and issues as i had read on articles. Sony neither relaesed any info about the final version of same model than why such delay for software update?? Xperia z3 plus is now a budget premium smartphone and its even used today by significant number of indian user. I'm a huge fan of sony smartphones and more than 1 year of wait and patience for update would become a negative impression for such a loyal company. Kindly give me a word or release the most waiting z3 plus series update considering other users too.

  • worst flagship processor snapdragon 810 useless 2.0 GHz Cortex-A57 and Overheating lagging on games

  • It still have update security patch this Year ??

  • Hi I have this phone once I connect it to car player with aux its turn off and can't turn it on again what should I do?is me say ur main board burned probably.any one can help? Its just 3 month I buy it

  • Here, all u have to do is to just type your IMEI that is found in Settings>About phone, that will help u check whether your smartphone is up-to-date. If it still apeears that way, then probably because your carrier didn't roll out the update yet OR your region still has yet to receive it

  • What is the link of the website?

  • Z3 or Z3+ ? Which better? For gaming and camera..

  • Can you replace the Li-Ion 2930 mAh battery battery with a better battery like the Non-removable Li-Ion 3100 mAh battery used in Xperia Z3 ?

  • Wow, that's weird. I think u have clicked the wrong link. There is one website which u can type in your IMEI, that is the one that can check your current smartphone software update status

  • i have a problem where my android version are different with my android build number. Means that, my android version are 6.0.1, but when i checked online, it said that my phone have the latest android version which is android 7 like that. Can anyone help me how to solve it?

  • Yep, u are correct, most of the fault goes to Qualcomm's SNAPDRAGON 810, but Sony is also at fault, but way lesser, because themselves weren't expecting the SNAPDRAGON 810 to heat up that badly, hence if u have both the XPERIA Z3+ and the XPERIA Z5, u will notice better temperatures on the XPERIA Z5, I noticed it when both are running ANDROID 7.1.1

  • It's that not really matter about Overheating issues. Since I using the phones come cool down faster after play games and get overheating. Be wise to use.

  • Owned this phone after my Xperia Z3 replacement, made a huge mistake, far one of the worst phone i ever owned in my ownership! The phone its ok, but the Snapdragon 810 is to blame,and Sony themselfs never adressed the thermal managment into SD810, thus overheating like crazy, even when recording at 1080p it couldnt get passed at 1 min mark, not to mention other things such as gaming and watching youtube, would always prompt an overheating message, something you can remedy with Stamina Mode, but definitely not worth the hassle. If you are on a budget, i recomend to stay away from the Z3+ or any SD810 device, got for an 820 or even 821 like the 3T or XZ, since they are more thermal efficient and better thermal management Android 7.1.1 only made the phone worst, couldn´t stay with it more than a month, changed to a Xperia X, and now rocking a XZ ready to a XZ1 or XZ Premium soon.

  • No. Don't. This phone's battery drains in just 3 hours. Please don't buy this iron box. Buy a phone

  • I have to say avoid this phone they never fixed the overheating issue with the snapdragon processor. The phone works fine for 5-10 mins on android 7.0.1 but it slows down and gets laggy when it gets too "hot". Plus the camera doesnt work if it is overheating which caused for me to loose some good photo oportunities.

  • phone is great, hi resolution music player, good camera, good speed, no hang or freezing issue, good call clarity, good network reception,only problem is that, when we use phone camera for 1 minute more or less, it automatically shut off the camera or video recorder with an overheating message.

  • I am using one and it's an excellent phone. Fast and battery holds out well. Only issue I have is sometimes it tends to heat a bit but not that bad till u can't hold the phone. Other than that I like the design, the built which is sturdy and the size which is neither too big nor too small. Overall good phone and reliable. No lag and call quality is great.

  • Anyone still using Z3+? I am planning to buy this one since I saw it for sale like $120. I just don't want any regret after buying it.

  • pls guide me:how can i make a password for my hot spot in z3+

  • Touch screen is giving problem No new system update for oreo received :(

  • z3 is the best

  • This z3+ or samsung s6? Pls advise. thanks

  • Didn't u receive the update? I received ANDROID 7.1.1 last year through the software update and it is the most recent update for my XPERIA Z3+

  • how to update 7.1 mines is running in 7.0.i cannot get any offical update

  • how to u update 7.1

  • The problem applies to u only. My XPERIA Z3+ is still performing fine, much better than how it performs when out of the box thanks to ANDROID 7.1.1, a huge reduction in overheating issues. Besides, do u have the right to stop people from buying this smartphone? This is a person's own perspective, some like it some may not like it. Do u want a person to say "Dude, stop using this smartphone, sell it" and what happens if that was your favorite smartphone? Never thought of that eh? How immature

  • This is terrible phone with overheating issure as such life time photo shooting opotunities dismisser .... All of you have this phone should get money back....

  • Z3 or z3+ regarding battery timing n overall review which one to go for plz let me know thx

  • This or smsung s6 which better

  • They never fixed the overheating bug am using this phone and its super anyoing. If you want to take video or take photos long time it will shutdown the camera app. There is android 7.0 but it still did not help at all...

  • Split screen introduced in ANDROID NOUGAT basically means the ability to use 2 apps at the same time instead of one, half of the screen will be using one of your apps, another half will be using another app, that's why it is called split screen, this is logical sense. Sorry if I am kind of offensive but seriously, it is common sense when u look at the words, u really need to gain some knowledge in tech

  • z3 better than z3+ for performance because z3+ problem overheating snapdragon 810

  • Is it still worthwhile to buy?

  • It's a great phone but the CPU is really bad, with temperature problems close applications camera included.

  • You are welcome

  • What I want to do for fix my device

  • what u mean?

  • I have sony z3+.it camera will must better...but my device camera is not focus and can't capture video then stacked my device... I'm in so sad about that. Please help me..

  • I have sony z3+.it camera will must better...but my device camera is not focus and can't capture video then stacked my device... I'm in so sad about that. Please help me..

  • Thanks and appreciate much

  • I'm sorry for not answering your question cuz there is no notification on gsmArena... But i think your questions will be answered by other people... And it's already answered... it means you can "show" 2 apps in a same time just like in windows by hold it in windows task (after click button at right home button) or just hold button at rigjt home button... I'm sorry for once again and my terrible english...

  • Thank you

  • Split screen means multi window you can use 2 apps at same time By holding recent apps button it splits the screen into two windows

  • Thanks so much for your feedback but may i ask what you mean by split screen on nougat for z3 plus please? Thanks again

  • Thank you so much but could i ask why?

  • Could anybody tell me about how z3+ temperature in nougat? Is it still hot like in lollipop?

  • If you want a performance and don't-like-clap-charging person, go for z3 plus... But if you want a little bit battery life [3100 vs 2930 on z3+] and lower android verson [nougat with split screen on z3+ compare with marshmallow on z3] than go for z3... I would suggest you with z3+ for slimmer and no-clap charging... And z3+ have 5mp on selfie compare with 2,3mp on z3....

  • Definitely z3

  • which is better z3 or z3 plus as dont know whcih to buy honest opinion please

  • Use Xperia companion and repair

  • all depend how u use? a;; batteries drain if u heavy user will drain fast but mine is no problem and can last me one day. i average to heavy use

  • how about the battery, mine quit drain very fast..

  • Malaysian here. Mine updated to Nougat early 2017 (was it January?) just like the rest of the world. Something is wrong with your phone.

  • very good phone

  • One reason why is because Malaysia is slow with software updates, one of the slowest. Even though it shows that ANDROID 7.1.1 is released, it will take some time to roll out to your smartphone. I live in Singapore but I bought a XPERIA Z3+ Dual SIM a few years back from Amazon and it is still working now which already got ANDROID 7.1.1 a few months ago

  • not sure about malaysia but i in singapore got update already some time ago

  • Mr.Noob Can somebody help me !! My android is still on 5.0.2(lollipop).. i have wait over 1 year ++ for software update..and lately i have read SONY had release software update on my country which is malaysia.. my question is why my z3+(E6553) still cant update??..i never receive any msg from SONY.. i also have check it via Xperia Companion software and its still said "My device is up to date"..this is really make me frustrating..hope somebody answer me :( ..

  • screen wont crack f u keep it properly alot of comments here are sometimes due to handlers fault

  • when the screen cracked, touch screen still working right?

  • still around 300 euro

  • Z3 Plus Price right now?

  • Yes

  • Thanks for the reply bro....can u tell us the changes u have noticed after the update.? About heating issue and other performance.

  • Why is it always heating up or indicating that the camera, needed to cool down after using it less than three (3) minutes?

  • Can u tell us the changes u noticed after the update..both possitive and negative points.

  • I recieved 7.1.1. in july. I live in Norway.

  • Anyone Received 7.1.1 Update for Xperia Z3+?? Build number is 32.4.A.0.160 the update is announced in last week of June 2017. Still not received OTA Update in India. If anyone received already, Please share your opinion here about heating issue & performance.

  • after update to latest nougat 32.4.A.1.54 via OTA, the phone is behaving abnormal, when standby the battery is drain alot, not much but worst than nougat build 32.4.A.0.160 , try factory reset but the same issue still persist,, trying back to old marshmallow 32.2.A.0.305 instead to nougat again, and wow, unbelievable! everyting is OK,.. smooth, overheating no.. just a warm when gaming, browsing, and the battery standby is superb! camera is ok ok. am stick with that,..

  • Guyzzz please help me,, at first i used to see hide apps menu somewhere, now i can't find it.plzz tell me step by step where can i find it

  • Really?? Is it solving of this bloody heating and battery drain off problem??

  • unlucky man

  • yellow spot on screen , increasing day by day

  • Latest 7.1.1 update with September 2017 security patch fixed battery issues and heating. I can get 3hrs SoT with 45% of juice left to spare (which is 15% more than in the previous update). Standby time has been improved as well.

  • Sony released new update for Z5 family but not received previous update yet. Very very disappointed by sony

  • Same Question here, but nougat seems to be promising,.

  • Which the best rom for z3+?? Android 5,6 or 7?

  • i have used sony xperia z3+ 2015 to 2017 it is very good smartphone even it have snapdragon 810 but it is first device with record h2.65(HEVC) 4k video at 30 pfs. and apple used in i phone 7.

  • I have bought xperia Z3+ it really s**ks battery heating very high, i gave my mobile for service later heating problem still remains the same but water proof not working after that. moreover can't take photos continuously. They are saying due to octa core processor mobile will heat they are saying, seriously i feel very bad. Spent 53000 for this mobile and now am feeling why i bought.

  • Mine was ok. After I changed the better Telco, my Sony Z4 performed better. No more heating issues.

  • After changed my telco to DiGi, my Sony Z4 device is cooler than before.

  • True..

  • Sony simply follows a criteria - "Will provide 1-2 update for one year,after that RIP your phone from Sony" That's why we are still struggling for 7.1, until heating issue never solved, camera doesn't remains on for more than 1 min bs, 4g not compatible (only for name because phone will hang and battery drain like hell)

  • Android 8.0 oreo is released though Sony Indian z3+ didn't get 7.1.1..irritating..

  • Yes

  • maybe, but the main reason is SD810 architecture is flaw from beginning, over heat happen to LG, Htc and many more, even SD820 not so cold, SD835 is cool but speed not bring much diffferent from SD820. hopefuly NEC or other Japanese chip makers start make mobile chip, mediatek can't provide to hi end, exynos just has quick charge 2 for 3years in the row (already cause note7 blow twice). too bad texas instrument out of business

  • Did the updates are released in India of 7.1.1 android

  • It's been two months and still not received

  • No not yet.. Its really frustrating 😤

  • Disappointing that Sony is not including the Z3+ in the list of models for Android Oreo update. The processor is better than other models receiving the update.

  • Maybe the carrier there didn't allow the update? I am not sure, since I got mine already a few months ago

  • Update 7.1 available in india? Please tell me anyone

  • Update available in india? Please tell me anyone... Help

  • Why indian model z3 plus didn't received 7.1 nougat..??

  • Software updates should help these problems

  • People say there was someone who had a chance to look inside the Z3plus and he found out that the smarphone was embedded onto plastic base. THe metal frame was just glued on the plastic around the edges and this explains why this phone gets hot very fast. There is simply no ways to carry the heat out, plastic doesn't allow it. They say this feature leaves no chance to improve it via software. I remember that marshmallow update had improved the heating problem somehow. It didn't disappear, but stop to be a main problem. So, as a Z3+ owner, I am still hoping new update will make a difference.

  • My Xperia z3 plus is heat in just 15 to 20 sec..battery drain in just hour when fully charged and touch not working properly...not yet received 7.1 update

  • The reason why is because they first used SNAPDRAGON 810 on this smartphone, and most smartphone manufacturers didn't know that the chipset was notorious for overheating at that time, so they forgot to put in more copper pipes.

  • I got my z3+ three days before, everything fine except the heating problem, it gets heated just in 5 minutes use, its too much when comparing with other phones

  • thanks u so much bro

  • I guess u are the one who needs the news, since u ask. Only XPERIA XZs and XPERIA XZ PREMIUM have 960fps Slow-Mo. Older Sony smartphones uses Timeshift Video to do 120fps Slow-Mo. If u don't have the app, go download Timeshift Video, it does 120fps, only for the Sony high-end flagships

  • Hello Why the slow motion option is not available to the z3+ model ? as it has the powerfull camera of 21 mp. Anyone know the news about the slo-mo ?

  • Actually my priv performs well compare to z3+ i dont know but my battery on my priv is very and i dont have heat issue like i have in my z3+ before, gets warn but thats normal, i sleep with 69% battery i wake up with 68% till now... im not making a joke or what so ever but i know some other people have so many issue with the priv... i should mention also the 3 apps which i think contribute of battery stamina i have now... i have installed greenify, hibernation manager and pixel filter...

  • SNAPDRAGON 808 is a bad performer, pulls down the battery life. Even though XPERIA Z3+ have a SNAPDRAGON 810 which is notorious of overheating, there is lesser overheating problems in ANDROID 7.0 and above, and it is much more smoother than previous versions

  • i already given up my z3+ plus now im using blackberry priv, but ive seen on my friend they got the update for 7.1

  • Correct

  • and mostly because of SD810

  • The reason why XPERIA Z3+ is heating up so fast is because the copper pipes inside for cooling the smartphone is not as good as XPERIA Z5's one

  • Sony is keep up with the updates on this phone thou i admit sometimes this phone is heating up like hell, but i can tell still its a good phone and has really good camera just don't use 4k a lot but i doubt most are using it all the time... the copper color stands in the crowd and black is so elegant to look at... but always keep in mind this phone also is slippery and attracts finger like there is no tomorrow....

  • Why my xperia z3+ increase the heat temperature faster arter updating the 7.1.1?? Help anyone??

  • Oh its camera softness. Its normal to see those kind of things

  • Please share your opinion about camera quality of this phone...!!!! My experience using this phone to take the picture there is blury on the edge of the picture, is that normal..????

  • any idea when it will be available??

  • 7.1 is not available in India.

  • Did anyone install the latest build to android 7.1 in INDIA on the single sim variant. I havent recieved the updated yet

  • Jio 4g voice app only doesn't support volts

  • Does Z3+ Supports jio either by volte r by jio 4g voice app???

  • I bet the battery doesn´t charge as fast the game drains the battery. There should be some kind of setting that if phone is on AC power then it uses AC and when on battery power then it uses battery and if battery is at 100% the charging will discontinue until charger is removed. Sadly the option is not available for every phone or tablet or laptop, whatever...

  • Emm no tho. Currently not only for this phone but even for XPERIA XZ ANDROID 7.1.1 update that time I waited till June then I finally got the update. It is based on the region. U are counted lucky man. I lived in Singapore and sometimes updates took longer than u expected. India got the software updates earlier than here

  • I know bro, I am just so obsessed with this phone that i cant wait to update it to latest. It used to be the same day for all countries but it is this time they have delayed for india.

  • U gotta wait dude. It takes time.

  • Sad part, i couldnt find update available in india. Tried both mobile and xperia companion . Nothing showed up. Disappointed

  • How the battery now

  • Does it support otg after android 7

  • Updated to nougat 7.1.1. The heat is not very bad now, clock speed back to 2 ghz, thanks for the update

  • the heat problem has nothing to do with the software. its the snapdragon 810 that causes the heat problem

  • Thx!!! Is it fixing the camera overheating issue that came back with 7.0 ?

  • Still heat problem

  • The new update nougat 7.1.1 is rolling out

  • xperia z3+ sry

  • Bruh u gotta change your habit like seriously. XPERIA Z5 is using a SNAPDRAGON 810 which heats up very fast. While u charge and play games the heat is going to bring down the battery even why charging. This is common sense. And please stop your bad habit because it is going to damage your charging port for your XPERIA Z5. Then I guess it will be "faulty" for u

  • best phone but it is not that much best in 2017. one thing i hate that is heating problem if we shooting video continuously 5-6 minutes camera will close automatically

  • Good smartphone.

  • It is because when you play games the starts to heat up and when it charges it heats up, and so to keep the heat down the amount of charge going to phone is reduced and and the phone uses more charge than its getting that's why the charge percentage goes down

  • I can't connect to mobile data anyone could help me. What should I do?

  • This is something that happens with every z3+. Developers should work on managing the cpu cores. since, it used to work better in android 6

  • all phone is like tat

  • Is anoyne have isuse with charginig?When i play any game and charge my phone at same time battery percentage goes down,an when im not play games it charge normaly.Can somone tell me what problem is,and mobile is new i buy him i week ago brend new.

  • Z3+ speakers sound more muffled than Z3, though. But Android 7.0 update helps to improve the speakers and all the above u asked about improvements is a yes there is improvements but multitasking there is almost no improvement

  • How about some answers to my other questions...?

  • Yes absolutely. Since it can be updated to Android 7.0

  • ive still have this phone and still using it, heat is still there after the N update makes it better sound quality from speaker became good, i still love this phone and it get used to its occasional heat from the back, and still its camera holds up...design and build quality is good i have the black one but i see copper one looks good...price also drops down...

  • Can we expect a Nougat 7.1.1 update for the Z3+? Is it true the speakers on the Z3+ sounded more muffled than the Z3? Has there been any more updates to improve camera speed & quality, better battery life, general speed & performance + improved multitasking?

  • Erm I think u should say Qualcomm should improve because the chip Snapdragon 810 is known for overheating and the overheating makes the phone throttle making the battery drain more. Plus every phone when updated to Android 7.0 will have more battery drain than last time in Android 6.0.1. Bruh

  • After updating to Nougat,phone is being overheating,battery doesn't last long as it was before updating...don't know what i should do now.what the f**k is doing Sony day by day while other brands are doing well. Sony should improve...

  • Am also facing the same pblm on my Z3+ after Nougat update.. But no solution found yet.. Its really frustrating :(

  • Take it to Sony service center near by n they will do it for you n they will charge a 150 rs charge on doing that. N you need to back up your data before doing it..

  • You wait for some more days n you will come to know everything

  • a lot of problems after updating my z3+ to nougat version, mainly related to a touchscreen responsiveness sony has not an answer ready yet it's a really mess what they do with the upgrading i definitely prefer the previous version if they can not give us a real solution

  • And what about processor? Before update it was 4x1.96 and 4x1.56. After update its 4x1.56 and 4x1.56. I cant understand this. Maybe processor is underclocked? You can check it on Cpu-z. Please tell me. Thank you.

  • Thank you for your reply. Yes i meant celsius. Sometimes is 45 C when im on fb,mess and insta and when i play asphalt extreme its 52 C. I have Z3+ dual sim. Maybe my phone is bad? I even did a factory reset after update.

  • You mean 42 on Celsius scale right? Mine about 37 to 39 when I use social media, but the big difference after N update is for gaming playing N.O.V.A & Gta SA never being so smooth

  • How much is temp on your phone? After N update temp on mine is 42-43 when im just on fb,insta and google. Is that normal?

  • I'm sorry misstypingg I mean Sony z3+ e6553

  • I've updated my Sony z3+ d6533 to Android nougat, it works like a charm now, no overheat issue, no more lag. I love this device even more

  • What do you exactly mean by weak?

  • When you say "strongest" one what do you exactly mean by that? And this phone will probably get stuck to Nougat 7.0 with no chance of even getting 7.1.1.

  • The z3+ is the strongest one both s7 and z5 are weak and you will suffer if you get a z5 hit and put it into water -_-

  • Hey android 7 upgrade a crap? My Z3+ goes to silent mode(approximately after 1.5 days after a restart) automatically even in safe mode after the update. I went to a service center, replaced some parts and done a software repair. But all in vain. Now they gave me insane offer of degrading to android 6!!!!!!!! But I rejected the offer because as long as the problems are not official how it could be accepted?? I stand firmly on a replacement first. But I do not think SONY will accept it. Anyone have any clue or any other solutions as I am fed up with the situation and after this problem for past 2 months with my phone in service center. The whole servicing is taking lot of time and its disgusting. I have mailed called and all other things I could do. No solution yet. Waiting for the further reply of service center on 13/05/2017

  • Sony says it's not possible to downgrade. UI hasn't crashed yet on my device, but poor touch functionality on this version (7.0). I'm 100% my phone has no hardware issue.

  • soo is the overheat issue fixed? and how is the battery life with normal usage?(browsing fb, messenger, spotify) I'm planning to buy this phone and I'm confuse rn, this phone has lot of a mixed reviews. Some people say the overheat is fixed after the update but others didn't think so. can someone confirm this?

  • I have same problem and also many times system ui crash.. And some time I need to restart my phone. Also battery draining.

  • Just upgraded to 7, it's terrible. I need to swip 10 times to have unlocked keyboard , and other bugs. How can I downgrade?

  • How can I downgrade Android version 7. to 6 or 5

  • sony has heating issues.. but samsung has hanging issue..

  • Snapdragon 810 and 808 had really bad heats problems.. Not only Z3+, LG G4, Nexus 5x, Nexus 6p also having bootloop issue due to inefficient heat control thus melt in the motherboard and can cause hard brick or even dead.

  • Between the glass of the Xperia Z3+ and Galaxy S7 comparing with the frosted glass for the Z5 which phone would you guys say is the weakest when it comes to being easily breaking after a drop test?

  • Good news! Some improvements on 7.0 over 6? (Battery, heating, camera)

  • Got the Nougat 7.0, here in ROMANIA (32.3.A.2.33)

  • Heats ALOT! Such games as Pokemon GO is barely playable -fFirst minutes OK, after then you can cook an eggs on this phone and game gets laggy as hell throws errors etc. Very, very bad heat management - actually all xperia z series I have owned heats up quite quickly when approach multitasking or demanding applications. Shame on Sony. I think to switch to Samsung. I newer liked Samsung's buit in interface, but they made phones that are fast and heats alot less than Sony's.

  • Heating problem. This phone has a heating issue behind on upper side. It gets hot too quickly, within mins. Shame on SONY Mobile Brand.

  • Can i play heavy games at list 4 games in this phone ??? ( please give me replay)...

  • Got the Nougat 7.0, here in Serbia

  • Power+ volume to start recovery mode

  • Front cam is faster now. If you use 20mp you can change ISO up to 3200. On android 6, I could turn on HDR on 20mp, but not on Nougat. But you can use HDR on 15.5mp.

  • It is write.. Inner memory of z3+ is faster than one inside z5

  • Go for z5 for sure. It has dual-copper-pipe to cooling down the unefficient-SD810 so it will produce less-heat (technically), finger print, and latest rear-camera (between both of them)

  • Im Still Waiting for nougat here in UAE..... :(

  • Thanx Bro but where can i get it

  • 2000 for original and duplicate 500 back door panel for z3 plus

  • Guyz plzz tell me can we change copper colour to black colour z3+?? And how much does in cost plzzz tell me

  • Guyz please tell me does activating DEVELOPER OPTIONS STopS getting new updates?

  • same here in indonesia.. i haven't got the update too for my xperia..but some website says that it was released.. :(

  • With a limited budget I'm trying to choose between the newer Z5 and the older Z3+. I also read and research about the differing issues of the two. But I saw one video on Youtube that supposedly shows the Z3+ having a faster read/write speeds than the Z5. Is this true? I'm worried that if i get the Z5 it will be a tad slower than the Z3+.

  • My z3+ camera is not working in the Macro mode. Autofocus problem. I just heated the back cover for removing the Back cover & there is some glue stick pasted near the camera, but i cleaned all area from camera. . It may causes the problem for the same ? Please confirm me urgently. we required my superb camera quality back. Please suggest.

  • Still not getting nougat update in Lithuania. Is it released in baltics? When should I expect to get it?

  • When does the update Come to Indonesia?

  • Help me please. I m installed new update 7.0 on my z3plus .than I realize mobile network is not working. Than I switched off My device and its died .

  • If any guitarist here..then plz record your guitar playing video..and let me know how is the audio quality..it's very important

  • I also Received mail about it

  • New update build 32.3.A.2.33, comes with March 2017 security patch. I just installed it recently.

  • OK. But being aware the Z5 is newer how about which one is quicker in GPS lock, read/write storage, Cat-6 LTE speeds, warmer-looking photos, faster camera app loading, louder speakers and apps not having to reload?

  • Could anyone tell me how is gaming in z3 plus ? Is it still getting hot easier ?

  • Go for z5. It share same procie with z3+ but with dual copper pipe to cooling down that unefficient SD810, so technically it will reduce some heat. And z5 win the "best camera smartphone" from DXOMARK (of course at that time) *CMIIW

  • Where did you buy it ? In the online store or offline store ? If you bought it in the online store, can you provide me the link or the online store's name ? Thanx

  • I am looking to replace my old Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo with an Xperia phone. With a limited budget my choices are Z3+ & the Z5 (due to both being waterproof): In their current Android Nougat 7.0 update which would you guys recommend right now in terms of battery life (& standby), camera speed/performance/quality (more warmer photos, low noise in zoom & better low-light), memory management (apps not having to reload) , heating issues and speakers quality? Appreciate all comments.

  • Download (kingo root android apk)

  • I got the second hand one, the no+ edition still 100% fine! For IDR2.600.000!

  • Why Sony? Expensive? No, I thought I have to submit this. 1. Sony's Xperia means experiencing what is the real meaning of smartphone (exception with the Moto Z Play and Z). 2. Playstastion's performance + Sony's TV Resolution + Sony's Camera MP's=Xperia with high endurance rating. Hope this is helpful!

  • Howz the camera quality in noughat?please comment...n if there is any bugs write about it.Thank You.

  • The update is wonderful , it heats less and the SOT has gone upto 5 hours and the split screen is amazing .

  • how to root xperia z3 plus

  • Feeling :) after updating to nougat

  • I want to buy this so how is this for heavy games?

  • Nougat update is very good. I flashed it trough flashtool. + better GUI +better speakers quality (more bassy) -i dont know

  • still good

  • How is the new noughat update??Please comment those who have already updated.

  • please tell me the firmwire have less heat compared to nougat. now my phone touch 65c

  • If you don't know about flashing or you are worried if you fail just take it to sony's service center. It's safety way and not bricking your smartphone (cuz it's sony flagship btw and it cost to much in that time)

  • Can anyone tell me. How the phone is in nougat version ? Is it still getting hot easily (even if you use messaging or taking photo only), lagging on gaming and not powerfull speaker ? Please. It cost less then $190 in indonesia, so i think i'll pick it up.

  • Refer this link

  • I had this phone for couple of months. The design is nice, screen is nice..Pictures not that good as described The main problem is touchscreen. It is so sensitive, once it fall down it cracks and u have to replace again the whole screen which is pricey, my screen broke 2x and it never broke on other phones i have . I got it on ebay, so i don't know if i got the fake one..

  • after updating to Nougat, perform a factory data reset. worked for me. don't forget to take a back-up of your phone before doing the reset.

  • I want to buy this phone please tell me how is this and camera quality and also for gaming

  • hi, does the adaptive brightness issue get resolved in the nougat update??? i need to upgrade . some please say me does the earphone master volume is same or reduced and the adaptive brightness issue is resolved in the nougat update....

  • I have upgraded to Android 7.0 officially from Sony.

  • After nougat update iam not able to take screen shot. Can't apply correctly most of the Xperia theme downloaded from play store. Notification light not blinking while msg receive

  • After the update the heating decreased significantly my screen on time increased from three to five hours Now with split screen nd small apps i can open nd njoy three apps at same time only we sony users can use three apps on the same screen i think double tap for previous app is superb after the update pls restart the mobile two or three times

  • Androd 7.0 is full with bugs for Xperia x3 plus...it lagged,sound problem,notification sound problem,keyboard problem..n even not smoother too...android 6.0.1 was mch bttr...I dnt what the hell Sony developpers doing there...its the worse software experience ever had..really too mch back dated Sony..I think I should switch to another company now...Sony is nt up to customers.. Sony sucks

  • Please please please Don't update android 7 nougat It's really a shitttttt The heating power is increased that I can't hold my phone in my palm while mobile data is on. And the battery last little bit longer but takes too much time to recharge. F**k.....

  • If i was to record a video it would be at 1080p @ 30fps anyway and this would be "rare" in the sense i'll probably be doing it on a holiday that is roughly twice a year; taking a video might only be 10 minutes max. When taking photos again it might not be 10-20 shots at a time or non-stop. The most would be 10 photos set to Auto and maybe down a notch on the megapixels coz i like mine 16:9 ratio. The longest I might be using the phone would be 15-20 minutes in the shower whilst Youtube is running or 45-60 minutes of non-stop listening to MP3 music (and not even streaming). So, on those scenarios would you think the phone can take it? Has the Marshmallow significantly or incrementaly improved the throttling and overheating?

  • I received android 7 in my Sony z3+. But there is no Volte :-(

  • Yes I received it yesterday I live in Mumbai India n I downloaded the update yesterday. N the interface is so relaxed n cool on the nougat update... It looks more business class than the other ones like the more on a casual style... this update as of now overheating is present but not so much as it was on lollipop. Hope this update brings more happiness to all z3 plus users. All the best.

  • I took 3-5 shots in one go, so far no problems. I use auto mode with adjusted white balance and no flash, so far no problems. It overheats after 10 shots I believe but I hardly use it more than 5 shots at one go. I don't even have problems with panorama or 360°. I've used long exposure on Camera FV-5 with no problems. I do not know how many is your "mostly use". I took videos but mostly less than 5 minutes clips which I will cut or edit using video apps. I'm not a vlogger so I don't record hours of videos. I'd bring a camera for travelling because I prefer to save my Z3+ for communication and I may need to use optical zoom. I'll use my phone as camera if it's raining or for selfie to inform my family about my whereabouts. The camera button on Xperias are also useful for underwater photography. I'd use waterproof case to protect my phone and data. Ever since marshmallow, the issue of camera shutting down due to overheating have reduced. I placed my phone at the AC vents so my phone has never overheated when using GPS. It's easier to look at, too.

  • If i mostly use the phone taking photos will it overheat? If i take a few minutes of 1080p video (at 30fps) will it overheat? And does the Nougat update actually help manage/control the overheating?

  • No idea. My Z3+ came with MDR-NC31E and the noise cancelling works. I don't know the difference between the one I have and the one you asked about. Both are noise cancelling earphones though.

  • How many poles does Sony Xperia Z3+ have? Because I'd Like to buy "Digital Noise Cancelling Headset MDR-NC31EM" and this headset won't work if the device does not have a 5-pole audio connector.

  • After using Z3+, I think other android phones are slow in comparison.

  • 1. Audiophiles had stopped looking at Sony after Z3. I listen to talks and interviews, Sony is the best for me, the rest sounds hissing for me. I need clear vocal, not ssssss sound. 2. I hardly take videos but yes, thanks to Snapdragon 810, it overheats quite fast. 3. You can adjust the white balance. I adjusted mine to look warmer and lesser blue. 4. I don't own a Z3 but yes, battery drains quite fast. My phone is always plugged on to USB in the office since I listen to radio with speaker on. I dunno what the reviews said but I'm happy with my phone. It's a productivity tool for me and I don't play games.

  • Guyz Pleease Suggest me a cheap and Best VR which is Perfect for our Xperia z4 those who knows.. Please it Helps Many Others..

  • Waiting for VOLTE with nougat update

  • I can't help but be weary of issues that I have mentioned previously i.e. the various reviews and videos all have unanimously said that 1. Speakers sounding tinny & more muffled than the Z3, 2. Overheating when taking 4K videos or non-stop intense gaming, 3. screen looking much warmer than the Z3, 4. Battery life seem poorer than the Z3 (as it has less mAh). Apart from the screen being warmer most of these issues concerns me. Can someone at least agree with the reviews? Or are they all false?

  • yeah,, i already done

  • Did anyone receive updated nougat?

  • Superb Camera ,Superb Performance, Few concern No voice LTE, Plus touch is easy breakable if its falls few times.

  • I own both Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3+ (Z3+ is aka Z4). Both very good phones, grossly under-rated compared with Apple iPhone 7+ and Samsung Galaxy 7+ costing around three times more than Z3+ that in many aspects is of higher specification, e.g. camera, battery, ISP, etc. The Z3+ is a significant improvement on Z3, a simple comparison indicates over 50% increase in data speed processing, e.g. downloading. 32GB internal storage of Z3+ is more than adequate. (16GB of Z3 was borderline), dual SIM of Z3+ is handy for overseas travel because cheaper to buy overseas SIM than to incur $5/day roaming charges. Stereo speakers are superb (remember, the mobile phone is not a Hi-Fi audio system). Overheats only during high data processing, but such tasks happen rarely and is not a problem. 64-bit, 8-core Qualcom Snapdragon 810 chipset is fabulous. You can compare specs of smartphones on GSM Arena, also prices of replacement digitiser LCD screens. I love the Xperia Z3+ costing $360, as I do my slightly older Z3 that I keep as a spare. Hope this helps you.

  • Z3+ better for sure, both overheat when playing high graphics games or recording video with a high resolution or frame rate, but at least, z3+ has much powerful processor, so the overheat is common for it.

  • Anybody update 7.0 update for z3+?

  • I had bad experiences with Android phones in the past 18 months as mine got water damaged hence I'm looking for something that can withstand more than a drop in the sink/bath or light rain Like the Xperias. But I want to know any significant upgrades of the Z3+ to the normal Z3? Is it true that the Z3+ performance is slower, heats up slightly and has a muffled speakers than the Z3? True? Comments please.

  • sony center

  • It certainly is! It does however have somewhat of a fragile display so be careful and use a glass screen protecter :)

  • Anybody Can Explain How Is The Performance Of This Phone After Noghout Update?

  • Software repair solve problem

  • Same problem.

  • same problem with my Z3+

  • Maybe it is, maybe it isn't but what's happening in my Xperia Z3+ dual after the Nougat update right now is that its Antutu score just raised slightly from 73k to 76k since the last Marshmallow security update. Also when you open the cpu information through Antutu (screenshot provided below), you can see that despite the last 4 cores (the Cortex A57 cores) are listed as "sleep", the individual cpu load percentage is still displaying as if the cores were working as usual. In short, I don't think the update has fully disabled those A57 cores.

  • Hello. Is the overheating issue of Z3+ already resolve with Marshmallow and Nougat update? Or does it still overheat to the point of closing apps? Please reply. Thanks.

  • We may have to wait for another update. Since this update stops the high performance cores. So, the 4 cores remaining clock upto 1.5GHZ speed. Sony will soon release a firmware update hopefully

  • Nope. U can open small apps by clicking on recents. Top right corner will show up small apps buttom

  • May be we have to check with a compatible volte sim

  • I also update my Xperia z3 plus. 7.0 update is very good but when I play mp3 songs with music player I fill low volume sound.

  • What ever you all have to say sony mobiles are best ,build quality and everything, xperia z3+ gets hot due to its chip snapdragon 810 and its not sonys fault every phone which has 810 chip gets hot its not an issue, and dont worry it wont explode like Samsung, sony is best in quality but still some fools review them as bad

  • "but there is much cheaper and good phone out there" "i'll prefer apple instead of sony" You're making contradicting opinions out of yourself, well done...

  • I think you should change to other flagship like Huawei or Samsung. I also regret using Sony now

  • Yes indeed I'm also having this issue

  • Android Nougat certified for Xperia Z3 Plus series (32.3.A.0.372) Android 7.0 Nougat may shortly be released for the Xperia Z5/Z4 Tablet and Z3+ series, as Nougat firmware build 32.3.A.0.372 has just been certified by the PTCRB. Whilst the PTCRB, a cellular certification company, stopped publishing public links of new Xperia devices – links for the older devices still remain accessible. It shows that Sony will look to move the build number from 32.2.A.5.11 to version 32.3.A.0.372. Hopefully, this means the actual consumer release is, at most, a matter of weeks away. We’ll let you know once it starts rolling.

  • I m using this phone but when using then it is hot. I don't no this is problem or not..........

  • Really yaar Almost all phones having the updated Also Moto phones having the update messages Please confirm anybody when we receive the Nougat updates???

  • Please Anybody Tell Me Which One Better Z3+ Or Z3+ Dual Mainly In Battery Life

  • Xperia Z3+ for sure, both has thermal issues like many other smartphones, but at least Z3+ has much powerful cpu than Z3.

  • Which should I buy? Z3 or Z3+? I really want to buy this but I'm so worried about the overheating issue. Comments on the internet say this phone shuts down by using the camera for just 2 minutes. Is the overheating really that bad?

  • It's support fast charging with quick charger 2.0 You can test with other charger. With other charger plug in your z3 + and lock screen then only wake-up your device. You will see 'slow charging' write on screen.

  • Yes buddy. Even I found the same, It looks like the LCD backlight is what makes it look brighter at that corner. But it is hard to figure out with regular usage and I don't see it to be a problem.

  • When we got the nougat update... Anybody knows ??

  • Yes it usually heat like other phones, but i have more experience on other brands. They will start hang after few months but sony wont hangs like that. For me heating is not at all an issue....

  • Don't buy this phone!!!!!!!!!!!! Battery drains very fast, heats even faster. Fell down into shallow water and boooooooooooom, IT'S GONE. Thanks to Z3+ i will never try Sony AGAIN

  • Hello. Does this phone really get hot to the point of being unusable? I want to buy this phone. I will be using this phone mainly for internet and games. But I'm worried that I won't be able to enjoy it due to overheating issue. Please tell me if this has been fixed already. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Sure....its very fast....and ull love watching movies in this device

  • hello guys is z3+ worth for buying? is it fast? i play games very often and i watch films an can z3+ handle bheavy usage? and does it overheat? sorry for my english

  • Bro after that i noticed that top of the display is brigher for white color i.e below sony logo, please check that all the phone will do the same. For you reference keep your keyboard to classic light,and tilt your mob to landscape mode. The white areas of the display below the sony logo are brighter than the opposite side. Will all mobile will be like this? Or if only all z3plus mobile will be like this or more over only my mobile have some bugs like this? Please check and clarify my doubt bro

  • Yes it is true

  • I am also facing the same issue. My mobile will take very long time to get full.

  • is it really worth it( heat!!!)??? or should I go for C5 ULTRA?

  • is it true that after update to the latest the heating problem solved???

  • Can any one help me out my charger is not working and my phone is out of warranty, how can I Change it Is their any loophole so I can change my charger from service center...

  • This mobile is very fast, it quickly responds to whatever operation you perform on it. Same time it is a huge load on the processor. At the end it all depends on how fast you operate this mobile, if you do more multitasking on it at a higher speed obviously it heats up because there is no room for heat management as it is slim at 6.9mm and it is completed sealed due to waterproofing. No option for heat to escape. But if you do multitasking at a moderate speed without much switching between multiple apps. This mobile is your pick for sure.

  • Bro, it is not a bug at all. This is what should happen when you go into direct sunlight. Increase the contrast of your mobile display to higher value. This happens with any IPS display which is sunlight legible. If I am not wrong u didn't face any issue in direct sunlight. The problem is with Ambient light sensor, which measures the light intensity and accordingly adjusts the brightness. The only solution I would suggest is to buy a screen protector which covers the sensor part, that way less light goes and the problem is solved to some extent

  • after all the updates!!! is the heating issue solved or not??? really loke this phone but for the heating issue I'm having second thoughts...

  • Yes bro,it works well when i uncheck adaptive brightness. Is this a bug? Whether we get an update to fix it? I just flashed UK rom, it works fine here but if im in outdoor then due to sunlight this display becomes brighter but the color remains same. This is why we are experiencing paleness in color. I think in the next update, for adaptive brightness, while increasing the brightness level they have to increase the color simultaneously. So that this problem will get fixed. Is it possible for us to report this bug to xperia developers? Please guide me bro

  • That could be an issue due to Adaptive Brightness. Try unchecking Adaptive Brightness in display settings and use it. If you see the same issue, do let me know

  • No, mine charges from 10% to 85% in about 30 minutes.

  • Guys my xperia z3plus notification gray area often pales when my mob gets heat. Its my second xperia z3+. Because of this problem i exchanged with a new one. But again im facing the same paleness of gray color in notification area when mob heats. Do any one experiencing the same problem?? If so how to solve this problem?

  • yes

  • Can u plz elaborate

  • Ali, apps like clean master and task killer try to kill the background process. But in reality the background process is a service which on killing will automatically start on its own. In case of greenify, instead of killing the background process, it force stops the app which in turn stops the app from running and also turns off the background process associated with it. I tried all task killers and started using this app

  • Screen adaptive brightness is not working efficiently some time.

  • Hey there, what about an app called "task killer" it automatically kills background app "which are not belong to ignore least" on time, even if the screen is on, take a try, i have found it very useful.

  • Use GREENIFY App and add all the apps to hibernation which you don't use. This way the battery lasts more than a day and no heating issues at all. Make sure that u enable auto hibernation and enable Aggressive doze to get more juice out of your battery. Also, to unlock this app's full functionality root your device but it voids ur warranty.

  • I'm facing a problem after that latest update my online games are not connecting to the Internet like ring by Octro and 8 ball pool by Miniclip etc... Any solution... ?

  • Which one is better Z3+ or P9 lite

  • From the specification, it says that this phone has Quick charge 2.0. But when I plug in with my certified quick charge 2.0 charger, it doesn't seem to charge faster. Do anyone else experiencing this issue?

  • New update , Build number 33.2.A.5.11 fixes some heat issues. Now the phone is getting less hot from before after continous use and gameplay. Sony Rockz....

  • Anyone tell me, when will come amdroid 7 upgrade for this phone?

  • heating is not an issue even i am using it from 1.5 years with no problems, every octa core phone will heat up, not to worry it wont burst like samsung galaxy note 7

  • Which I recommend the z3 +, z3, or z3 compact ... since it is 2016 and they know all possible errors. My first choice was the lg g4 the best by far, but lei who have been dying since april 2016 so far that penalty, it was very good to be real.

  • Why Sony still hiding overheating problem with this phone? Stay away from this product. I've got z3+ since 1.5 year and made all updates, but result is the same. When asked Sony the answer is " oh, really? This is not possible. Wait new update. "

  • Record 4k with steady shot then see the difference

  • in the last week of December

  • Phone lags a lot while playing MCOC (marvels contest of champions). Also I am facing issue with screen. Screen does not respond well, for example you click on letter t on the keyboard but only to find x or z or p getting clicked instead. Sometimes response is too weird too handle. Have removed the screen guard, did factory reset, system repair through pc companion but no use. Suggestion please...

  • yes

  • After latest Mm update heating issue is solved. I recorded 25 minuts 4k video without any issue. It heats up but no any lag or restart.

  • I got LG G4 and after 4 days i got problem with screen flickering, i send back lg and got z3+ as replace (refused new lg i will never buy lg again) Z3+ is good phone, there is no lag even with 150 apps instaled, its very fast and responsive, excelent build quality and performance, No baclklight bleed like on new lg phones. There is no heating problem only in hard games or if u use to record 4k video, when u play game like Asphalt 8 etc phone get hot but not dimm display like lg g3 or performance problems... Camera is better on lg g4. There is one problem with device = bug after MM update, when phone ringing top speaker dont work and ring tone is low, in other situations like playing music and games both speakers working well and sound is good. That is not problem with my device only its common problem, also my wife has z3+ with same problem... I can say lg g4 is better phone because of 5.5 screen and a little better camera but lg have a problem with motherboard...

  • Z series are flagship range and you expect it to be at the price of a midrange/entry level? Please buy a China phone, you'll get what you need. Huawei P9 is not gonna be within your budget though. On overheating, I don't have that issue. No shutting down apps. All I did was update the software.

  • According to Some leaks in Xperia blog, it should be available by December of this month. But, you know Sony delays in releasing updates to its devices. So, expect it to be in 1st quarter of 2017

  • Use greenify and add apps to hibernation which you don't use. This way the battery lasts more than a day and no heating issues at all. Also, to unlock this apps full functionality root your device but it voids ur warranty. Also enable Aggressive doze to get more juice out of your battery.

  • very bad phone ever i used..too expansive.. when using camera phone become hot like burning stick..always restarting and hangs when using.i feel very bad

  • Anybody knows when Android 7 Will be released for this phone?

  • It's still heating so much

  • is this phone really worth it??? honest answer pls...

  • sony Z3+ is faster, lighter, more stylish than Z3 but the only think is Z3 is less overheat than Z3+ and more battery life.

  • the phone is fine now, I bought it September 2015, the only time it heats up is when you download 15 apps at once. Just buy it a case.

  • It heats up a bit, but nothing unusual, so it should be fixed.

  • is it true the heating issue of this notorious hot head z3+ is finnaly solved after the latest update??? pls someone reply with the answer really like this phone... and want to buy it next weekend...

  • then you got a fake sony

  • I have been with this phone for the last one year.Problem number one is over heating.Problem number two -online you tell us the internal storage is 16 GB.But after buying the phone only got 8 GB of internal storage.Three,the display is not high definition HD its LCD.

  • sony z3+ price in sony showroom?

  • I love this phone. However phone lags a lot while playing MCOC (marvels contest of champions). Also I am facing issue with touchscreen response (not sure if it is due to screen guard). Camera is good. Music is good.

  • Yes after android 6 update my phone never heat up while playing games for 2 or 3 hours.heating issue is solved

  • After Marshmallow update heating issue is solved. Very fluent. 25 minutes 4K recording tested.

  • Yes bro it is beast of gaming my phone is full with games

  • has sony z3+ support bengali language?

  • is it after 6.0 no heating issue?

  • Yes! Its a beast for gaming

  • is sony z3+ best for gaming?

  • No doubt Z3+

  • Which one would be better xperia Z3+ or Moto G4 plus

  • Don't know what to say, I rarely drop a phone, I have never (knock on wood) broken a screen. I do put the phone in my front pocket on occasion. Funny is aside from the button placement and processor the z3, z3+, z4 all share the same frame as the z5 is very close. Your story is not usual

  • I do not know what all the fuss is about, Iphone six bends and so do some samsungs ( if they dont explode into flames lol) my z3+ dual is working great, yes it gets really hot shooting 4k video and warm at other times but no warmer than my iphone 6 does. Marshmallow runs snappy and I have been able to manage the storage ok so far with pics on external sd and only apps that will not move to external on internal. If you dont use a case than its your fault it is scratched and broken, my phones are always in a case of some kind and I swear by tempered glass screen protecters, they are around 1 us dollar these days. After tweaking notifications, balancing screen color and such battery life is no worse than iphone. I bought 2 battery cases for the phone to recharge during busy days. This phone is a bargain at 299 usd unlocked new on amazon it will get the android N update too. I'm happy

  • All two times when screen cracked my phone were in protective case, and had glass screen protector. It won't help. Say it is bad protection from bad hands?

  • Really? Try to twist it. And i dropped it four times. First one- nothing. Second one- screen cracked. Replaced by autorised service. Third time- small piece of screen pooped out (glass i mean), but no damage. Fourth time- again screen crack, even worse than first time. I had Z1, my wife had Z1 compact. I dropped phone, my wife dropped phone, my child dropped phones multiple times. Nothing. I tought this one will be durable as old ones. Saw multiple reviews. Closed eyes for bad ones. But now i see that all about it durability was true.

  • If you don't use a back glass protector or something that covers back of the phone you won't encounter with any problem

  • Been using the phone for nearly a year now and haven't encountered any issue with the phone. Have dropped it countless times (mostly on concrete floors) and not a single scratch on the screen. No dents as well and I am using a cheap case I bought online.

  • I wanna buy this phone, i really like the design ang specs. I'm just bothered how worse is the overheating issue? And are there ways to solve the issue?

  • Xperia Z3+ user here. No bend, never put inside back pocket. It's a 5.2" phone, I'm not crazy to do that. Dropped multiple times, still working fine. No scratches, thanks to screen protector and case. Battery is good although I changed it to my PC at the office as I normally turn on the radio and speaker. Camera is good, not oversaturated.

  • Yes it is 4g

  • dude i have dropped xperia z3+ multiple times screen has not cracked and also its slim but wont bend, i am using these mobile from past one year, so if you dont know anything about these mobile please don't review it as bad. built quality of sony mobiles are just awesome

  • BAD phone. Why? It is very fragile. Sony made it so thin, but with this "feature" comes big disappointment. It flexes even in simple harder protection case. Not to mention that thing, that you can not drop your phone even from half meter high. If your screen does not crack, you won a lottery. Oh, and to replace screen is really expensive. Not to mention really poor battery life, or overheating (still with 6.0.1 android) and with this issue coming performance problems.

  • I used this phone not even a single complain android 7.0 I got it I am a heavy user I play GTA San andress , Asphlat 8 many more all run smoothly just a little hot and non phone yet that not get hot while playing high en games . Superb speed its 4g jio sim worked guys buy this phone from good shop which don't give you faulty piece. My promise its superb mobile.

  • yes, it is...

  • Yes it is a 4G device. It has most of the high device features.

  • Sony xperia z3 plus......is it 4g? pls anybody comment fast i m going to buy it tomorrow ...

  • Guyz how about the front camera? Is it good enough for today's perspective? as its almost 1.5 years old phone

  • Are you audiophile? Seems like audiophiles prefer z3 than z3+. I like voice clarity so Sony is still my choice, as long as it has the clear audio + option. Z3+ and z5 both are having snapdragon 810 chipset so heat issue would be more or less the same. I'm no gamer so I can't comment on that. I'm happy with my z3+ dual version. XZ with no radio is a real turn off.

  • Ho thats fine... now my problem as been resolved... because of the new firmware update.. 32.2.A.0.305 1) No heating at all 2) PINK spot in the camera 3) Good Battery Power... Really Excellent Update from SONY....

  • Hi, sorry for the late reply. I'm not frequent here. Yes, Go Power Master is an android app, battery saver app. I've used it since Xperia Mini and still my favourite. I set it to disconnect wi-fi and mobile data when screen is off. Unfortunately, for marshmallow, the mobile data won't turn off unless you do it manually.

  • After last Update on 6.0.1 .305 version, the phone is more heated and the battery is quickly drained. Sorry for bad Englisch

  • Listen Guyz..I am giving u true opinion. I have bought it somedays ago after using xperia z for 2 years. I am a heavy user. 1.Its battery is good if u do normal task.If u play games or use wifi it will drain battery fast. For normal use it can go 1 day easily. 2. if u r not a camera specialist then its camera is good for u. 3. In terms of speed its a beast. 4. All sony phones have the screen cracking issue but if u use safely it will easily survive 2 years. Remember the word 'safely'.

  • A5 6 battery camera display price overheating far better than sony z3 plus I have z3 plus and my brother has Samsung Galaxy A5 6 Price Sony 24900 but Samsung 21900 You should buy Samsung Water and dust resistance than buy Sony otherwise Samsung Galaxy A5 6 is the best.

  • not really as z3+ is slimmer but have many function.

  • Sony Xperia Z3 Plus....

  • Wats that I rly dont knw... But dont go for that update I updated it but after that phones battery dies more faster than before

  • Great phone excellent performance faster then my s6 edge .you can install latest xperia home of xperia xz download latest home from (xda developer website)

  • Since sony announced that z2 is out from the android 7.0 list and looking between several sony flagships shall i upgrade to Z3 plus from Z2???!!

  • Fingerprint? Lol, you won't even use it. As for the old specs, to which ones you reffer, coz Z3+ has really great specs?? Much better than most of today's phones.

  • what is Go power master?? i am not using it should i use it is it any andriod application??

  • Thanks

  • Yeah ,It will

  • Hey, will the planned upgrade to V7.0 Nougat sort out the over heating issue? Coz i am on version 6.01 and the phone is heating more than a generator.

  • In November

  • What is maintenance update? please help

  • What is maintenance update? please help

  • I've had my Z3+ (running lollipop) for over a month now and I can say I'm impressed with it for the following reasons: 1. It's fast and easy to operate, yet to witness any slowdown when multitasking (I use a combination of FB, whatapp, news, email and gps etc. 2. the cameras are good providing you use the manual mode to get the most out of the camera (I took a lot of 20mp photos and 1080p videos when visiting London resulting in a warning which pops up regarding the temperature but yet to experience the app closing because of this). NOTE- I do not use 4k as I do not see the point as the screen is 1080p and i've not 4k monitor or tv. 3. sound quality is good for watching videos or playing music, talking and listening is good as well. 4. No annoying usb charging flap as on the previous z3 model. 5. The price, I bought this z3+ for £160 at cex with warranty from both cex and sony ( i checked on xperia care and the phone is less than 3 months old so I got a bargain! The not so good: 1. Battery life is ok, better than a friends samsung s6 as the z3+ screen is only 1080p, stamina mode is useful enabling me to get through a day without the need of a charge. be warned though - the battery will drain fast using wifi / sat nav gps / demanding games. 2. like any phone it constantly wants to update apps, soft and hardware which can be annoying if you do not amend this in the settings. if you do consider pre owned / 2nd hand then Check the phone thoroughly before buying as some pre owned phones i have checked had minor problems these are: 1. minor bending to the body of the phone - lay on flat surface and gently press the corners down and inspect at eye level. 2. sony warranty - this could give you an accurate date of the age of the device. 3. both front and rear camera - they may be pitting / marks that could get worse over time 4. the screen - test for response using the diagnostic tools and check for any colour bleeding and dead pixels. Hope this helps and remember a phone is a phone samsung, sony, apple whatever jus be happy with your choice and enjoy it!

  • Anyone know the updates of 7.0?

  • Please do the hard reset. You can reset from the phone or PC using the Sony Companion. By any chance, are you using Go Power Master? I had to hard reset 3x. Only after it stables I reinstalled other apps.

  • You're free to choose which one you prefer but please refrain from making people confused because of those false reviews you're just making.

  • don't give all false update i am using these mobile from past one year

  • Guys, don't go for z3plus, hanging n heating issue r there

  • If you are jio user then buy dual sim

  • Build 32.2.A.0.253 so far has improved battery life, improved thermal management (less heat during light to medium tasks such as HD youtube playback) and also patches the recent quadrooter threat. Overall a very nice improvement by Sony.

  • Which is the best for day today life.z3 or z3+

  • Does this phone support pen mode

  • new firmware update for xperia z3+ (32.2.A.0.305), mobile runs more smooth and battery life has increased

  • Z3+ is best coz its a flagship phone

  • Which is better between Sony z3+ and Samsung A5 2016. I want a durable phone.

  • Yes, it's normal.

  • how can i go back to 6.0 from 6.0.1??

  • so your point is that there is no problem at all in my device? is there everything all right bro?

  • You can try but personally Marshmallow feels better for me, just saying.

  • Should i go back to lolipop???

  • I don't use stamina mode, been getting the same time left as you did (around 28hrs from full charge) but consistently getting a full day usage with 5hrs SOT. You have to take into account that the Marshmallow stamina mode in Z3+ is different than the Lollipop version (or even the version found in the new Xperia XZ) as it is actually the traditional low battery mode that completely disables background data (with no exception) and also limits GPU rendering performance. So (currently) the real stamina mode from Lollipop is actually the Marshmallow's Doze feature that is active indefinitely. Other problem includes the recent update to google play services that might have cause wakelocks which can be seen in your battery usage whether it has been draining battery during standby.

  • Same problem here...should we go back to 6.0 or lolipop?? plz help

  • Facing same problem here

  • I brought this device 37 day ago when it was running marshmallow 6.0. After wifi connect it was updated 6.0.1. Main problem continuing from then which is the battery draining too damn faster. I couldn't even find out the reason behind. Check all the apps and disabled many were not being used. But no solution appears. I did master reset 3/4 times but still remain. When battery fully charged it shows estimated time 28 hours and if I turned on stamina mode it become 48-50 hours. Wtf is wrong with it. Have any solution how to get rid of from this problem?????????? Please help me.

  • Hello Friends... Do anybody facing the PINK spot issues in camera... If i want to take a white page photo in the middle of the pictures i am able to see PINK spot Have anybody Facing the same problem... How to resolve the issue

  • This is by far the most beautiful smartphone I've ever seen! Shiny omnibalance design that scream PREMIUM from every direction, waterproof, hidden stereo speaker, 6.9mm thickness, no protruding camera also comes with decent to good battery life in moderate usage. I'd get this one if it's not because of the fingerprint sensor absent and slightly outdated spec. I really hope Sony can build a new one with similar design but packed with better hardware and slightly smaller bezel. Even if the price is more than the current flagship, I'd still get it solely for its design....

  • Why this phone takes long time for charging anf drain battery very fast any solutio.

  • Z3 Plus copper

  • Which one is best Sony z3+ or Sony xa. Please tell me

  • Yes I just bought this phone despite all the overheating issues crap, and yes it is overheating when using android 5.0.1 and only when filming with your camera. It does not overheat while playing games or just browsing . However, after upgrading to android 6.0.1 it does not overheat anymore, they fixed that issue with upgrade, must have something to do with overclocked processors, they fixed that, and now i can fiolm 4k video for as long as i can, it wont turn off or overheat anymore. It will however be warm, but thats the thing when u have 8 processors inside :) enjoy

  • Does this phone still overheat? I am considering getting one but am afraid of the overheating issues

  • Yes.

  • ...and also a dedicated slot for micro sd even on the dual sim model.

  • Don't buy Sony phone not money worth phone many things u don't get it in Sony phone Samsung is the best brand

  • prefer Xperia Z3+. waterproof, better Chipset, camera sensor size..

  • Xperia Z3+

  • Xperia is better, waterproof, better camera, planned to upgrade to android 7

  • Which one will be better among Huawei P9 lite and Xperia Z3+? in my region both are at same price. please help me out of this dilemma.

  • the z3+ have dual sim?

  • Yes, both cameras are still pretty decent and I've been regularly getting 5hrs SOT (browsing, media social and lots of youtube streaming) with at least 12hrs of standby and still having 15% of charge left. I got a brand new one a month ago with even lower price in just about $290.

  • How and where to manually download any firmware of Z3+?.. For eg if I wanna go back to lollipop...

  • Is this phone still worthy for a user who need a good camera phone (both front & rear), moderate battery life (3.5-3 hours screen) ??? for price $330

  • Still there are problems with the camera. Replaced it in march 2016 and now in September i have to do it again. Going to hang on to my z3+ until Samsung S8 launches.

  • I'm buying this in 2016...does it still have overheating problems or did Sony fix this already?

  • after the new updates we can use 4k recording up to 20 min before the mobile heats up, and these is not sonys faults, its due to snapdragon 810

  • Did some test with data network on and set to edge and I also forgot to turn off the NFC which might factor in the end results: So yeah, this phone's not for a lengthy 4K recording. I only managed to get 2mins and 43secs on the first test using micro sd as storage and then tried again for the 2nd time after cooled down and already done with just 2mins and 40secs even after I switched to internal storage. However if you do recordings in 1080p or 720p, I can guarantee that this will never happen. Someone actually did like 30mins of 4K recording with this phone though I'm not sure how the exact test condition looked like.

  • 30 seconds 4k 50 seconds 1080p 😂😂😂

  • Battery life: The longest 4K recording you can do with the Z3+ with the latest software update is 30mins but only if you use internal memory as storage (using micro sd causes the devices to heat a lot faster). However I strongly not recommending 4K for daily recordings because you're gonna miss the awesome SteadyShot that is available when recording in 1080p.

  • Some of they telling that when shooting in 4K . Suddenly phone will heat & camera turn off... so my question is this. . How long we can take video in 4K (befor cam turn off by heat) ?

  • regarding the battery? which daily consumption and durability?

  • I am using these mobile from past one year with no issues, it's heating up, dont worry wont be into flames like samsung galaxy note 7. Xperia z3+ has octacore processor and due to snapdragon 810 its heating up

  • Very sorry to hear that although I have completely different experience in mine. Daily use is very smooth, gets around 5 hours of daily SOT (4 hrs with heavier use), it's still heats during heavy workload but the so called "overheating" issue starts to fade away with every day passed (not sure how but it isn't as hot as it used to during the first week of usage). XZ is undoubtedly the best you can get from Sony right now but currently you'll have to pay for the full launch price. A Z3+ dual only costs me $290 brand new last month and I wouldn't pass such bargain (and it's worth it), plus it will get Nougat anyway.

  • Just replaced your phone. I've used it for three months and throw it. This z3 plus sucks. I've compared this phone with z2,z3 and z5 and it's heating capability is tremendous and also batt drain so fast,Even i updated it to marshmallow still no avail. I think this phone now is phased out here in UAE.

  • Now it's not available here in middle east cuz it's not a good phone you think,too much heating issue and fast battery draining compare to z3 and z5.Go with the xperia ZX, that's a lot better.

  • Try limiting background data, that works most of the time at least when you're not on wifi.

  • z3+ heating problem, battery also draining

  • Hello. the heating problem maybe the device doesnt update to a new software. try to update ur phones. the draining battery maybe its a virus or malware. try antivirus software. maybe its solves the problems.

  • Fingerprint is available on the Z5, except for the US version.

  • You have to wait a little bit more, according to Sony, the upgrade to 7 is planned.

  • Hey guys! What about overheating?

  • Gaming performance on the Z3+ depends on the game itself. Mine can actually run Asphalt 8 on highest settings with occasional lag even after 20 mins.

  • I played fifa 16 on this device. It's quite playable but after 5 min it starts to lag a little bit sometimes.

  • Day to day z3+ is better. For heavy gaming or 4k camming or anything that uses cpu continously z3+ heats and throttles. So probably for those sakes z3.

  • Hi, I'm interested in buying the Sony Xperia Z3+ but I'm having a hard time in searching where to buy. Is it available in Australia? Any tipe on where/how to buy it? Thank you!

  • I like it but doesn't have fingerprint sensor.

  • yes really... it was of 4.3% but now it is about 1.6% decreasing too much...

  • It has been a very reliable smartphone so far... Excellent camera in 8mp superior mode, low audio quality from loud speaker,processor warms up quite faster and cools down faster, perfect build you won't go wrong with it

  • Likes misleading people much?

  • how to my xperia z3+ Android 7.0

  • NO there is no Dual sim option

  • Yes it does (version E6533 or Z3+ dual), I'm currently using it.

  • Do z3+ has dual sim

  • z3 plus 4g set yes ya no

  • I think xperia z3+ is the betterone.so the thing is it's very powerfull mobile.

  • Which is the best z3 or z3+

  • I played asphalt 8 on highest graphic settings and it just runs smoothly even when the heat start building up (which means the throttling is often not noticeable on some games).

  • Hello dude, what about gaming performance? i am a heavy gamer and i know about overheating but i don't care if it doesn't affect performance, please reply, thanks.

  • Battery life: It actually turns out pretty good (if not amazing). Phone was unplugged from the charger at around midnight the night before. Almost a day after (at around 9.00 PM) with 15% battery left, I managed around 4 hrs SOT which includes 1 hr of youtube and 42 mins of gaming. This means that it's possible to reach out more than 5 hrs of avg. SOT if you tone down the usage a bit. My Z3+ is the dual sim variant with both slots used at the same time so I might have a slight standby time disadvantage when compared to the single sim version.

  • Is sony xperia Z3+ discontinued???

  • Best fr usage...battery is not much stable as stated.....but a best smartphone with fine camera and performance....single sim is also an noticable aspect...best fr profeesioned usage...

  • Buy z3+ without any doubt because this smartmobile is going to get the latest android vesion NOUGAT

  • Z3 Or Z3+ and Why? Is the difference in price for "Z3+" is worth buying it?!

  • Di Batam gan. Price difference can go up to 2 mil IDR when compared to official stores (it is brand new).

  • Its battery is pretty nice one. And it can last up to 6hrs with stamina. During this SOT I spent it on wifi plus mobile data watching video on Youtube and suffering social sites without heating issue. If you aren't a heavy user its battery would be superb. I really recommend this phone to you!!

  • You need a phone with really good battery life and the Z3+ is not the phone for you.... You'd be way better off getting a Huawei Mate 8 or a Samsung Galaxy A9.

  • 295 USD (3.9 mil IDR) was the lowest I could get last week and it's brand new :)

  • sony z3+ price

  • Don't ask any question... sony is superb.. I have this z3+.. its heating when recording 4k... its normal... It is a superb phone.... U will feel premium when u hold it in your hand.. its very cheaper now.. I definetely reccomend this phone to buy.. Nice camera, very good selfy, good bettery.. good design.. Over all best phone...and beautiful phone ever.. specially the cooper one.

  • I need a Sony Z3+ new mobile, where do I get this in Chennai?

  • Brother, can you please tell me that how much screen on time you get on this phone? And you said by the end of the day battery ends without stamina mode, so what's your use during day time which result in battery end by the night time? Also, if we use stamina mode, do you think it can go to another day? Please tell me your use with this phone.

  • Hello Guys. I need help before buying this phone. I'm owned Xperia Z2 for a year and I lost my phone couple of months ago. Xperia Z2 was the best phone I have ever had in my whole life. Both in terms of battery and performance Xperia Z2 was a powerhouse. Now, I'm deciding to buy another Xperia. There are no good reviews of battery about this phone (what I have read so far). I never use sim card in my xperia. I have separate phone for sim card. I want a phone in which I can watch video lectures for whole day in library without having to recharge the phone. My use is completely study-oriented. My major concern is battery life of this phone. Please help me convince to buy this phone guys.

  • I have sony bravia w602D tv & also Sony xperia Z3 plus mobile . I can not connect to tv & Mobile for using remote . can you help me . I'm trying to connect few day but not successful. pls help asap. Pls note , Sony Xperia Z3 plus OS version : 6.0.1, Video & TV side view version : 4.3.1

  • Ho ok thats cool may be there is a problem in my device itself i will make a software repair and factory reset...

  • Yep, its 32.2.A.0.253 out of the box.

  • Ho ok what is your firmware is it .253? If not then there is no prob in camera but who ever having this .253 firmware update are facing but not all a very few...

  • Nope. I already checked the current build number with the support site that my Z3+ has the latest update and it is 6.0.1 (also I have the dual sim version).

  • may be you will be getting the update in few days then there may be a change in camera outside the camera is awesome but when i focus on a white paper sheet then clearly i am able to see the pink spots

  • hello its me LOL 😙 i was updated my z3+ to lolipop 253.for me after updated my z3+ become superb! fyi..in 253 the had fix all the bug and stamina mode was back 😍 btw for those who comment and critics about the video 4k ..actually when im taking video use the 4k mode i agreed that my z3+ heating and the record time was 30minute and above.but its not OVERHEAT like what others said.just little heating.😅😅 for me its doesnt matter cause im not a fan of video 4k LOL.so im just use others mode on camera and video and they work perfectly .im in love with z3+ now. in addition,for those who love heavy games,this z3+ was awesome with heavy games.it is heating while playing a games?yeah but not overheat.for me all phone im use while im playing a games the phone will heat.so please stop comment and critics about the heating .LOL. for me if we care our phone kindly they will be kindly for you.hahahaha.so be gently and your z3+ will be awesome.trust me.all type or brands of smartphone having their problem.but fix your attitude first 😂 and who had problem with vibration for notification such as whatsapp,telegram or messaging on z3+ or z3 you must disable the stamina mode.if you enable stamina mode the vibrate for notification will not work. after you upgrade android ..reset factory and your phone will perfectly run.and the battery life for me its good and sound also awesomeeeeee so for me this phone was great compare with my past phone.see yaa and goodluck

  • Hi, glad to see you happy with your phone, could you please tell me about gaming performance, i am a heavy gamer, i know about overheating issue, but i don't care if it doesn't affect performance, thank you.

  • Did not update at all, got Marshmallow right out of the box. Not sure what's the problem but mine has a perfectly working camera.

  • Don't trust any opinions, this phone is awesome and i'm using this xperia z3+ for 5 months, superb battery life & camera, waiting for 7.0 update. Thank you SONY.....

  • Anybody facing the pink spot issue in camera i;e when ever i open camera i get pink spots which are very annoying... the latest firmware update is one of the worst update.... previously it was nice but after the latest update this mobile is becoming worst... If you are facing the same and got fixed please instruct me how do i clear the pink spots

  • Hi, is the z3+ the same as the z4 please

  • A software update won't fix it. It's the processor itself that's the issue.

  • Already bought, we'll see how I feel about that later on. It's quite a bargain, the price is just the same as my Xperia C4 when I bought it last year.

  • First chech on the box that what is the month and year of import.... If its June 2015 then u should worry but if its 2016 then ur handset is very fine...

  • If u r gonna play games on phone... Then plz tldont buy this phn at any cost... Termal throttling makes the cpu run only 4 cores just at 384hz Ur games gonna lag very bad at this clock speed... This phn is only good for those people who are non gamers and are not heavy task insentive users

  • Worrying too much or not about the heat should be the reasons whether getting this phone or go for something else. I enjoyed mobile gaming so much but since I don't care about a "bit" of a heat, I'll be getting it anyway (replacing my Xperia C4 dual that in my opinion heats worse than the Z3+ :)

  • Look at the mirror

  • finally sony xperia z3+ is going to get the latest andorid nougat hope it fixes the bugs and make this mobile awesome...

  • Come on Now do you even own thus Sony cell Beast? Nay

  • Is this phone support VoLTE??

  • Got the latest firmware update 32.2.A.0.253 in the morning updated successfully everything is fine but the 4k recording lasts for only 2mins but in previous firmware this was not the senario better to wait for next update hope it clears the heating issue....

  • In my opinion,this is a very versatile phone,I'ts really cheap right now too.It has a very Japanese minimalistic design to it,oleophobic coating,IP98 rating ,extremely bright and brilliant Triluminous display,6.0.1 Marshmallow with super fast updates before most phone manufacturers.One of the best cameras on any smartphone.Narrow for one handed use,it's themable,led indicator,fast processor,mine have never lagged.I have owned 4 of them because I think I want another phone but end up ALWAYS going back to Sony,I could've gotten a Z5 this time around but I like the thinness of the 3plus.

  • I suggest Xperia z3+ but if u are heavy gamer or user I don't suggest this phone because it has heating problem

  • Did you bought it from an official Sony store?.

  • Yeah I too got marshmallow out of the box when I bought it.. .

  • my sony z4 has this problem of self-activating data, what could be wrong i have tried turning off the data but,you watch it turning on automatically.please if you know how please [email protected]

  • I want to buy a new phone, but I'm confused. Which one is better..? Oneplus X Xiaomi MI5 Nexus 5X Xperia Z3+ Plz help me out...

  • I have bought it refurbished two days ago. I see it had marshmallow 6.0.1 out of the box. i hve done a hard reset at my phone and a complete repair. but after two days of a good use of this mobile, this smartphone shut down, and now i cant open it. what i have to do?

  • impossible ! I am Z3c user now. I have using 2 Samsung cell phone. I think that Samsung is better than Sony due to Sony's screen occurs fault easily

  • Which android version was running on your phone out of the box.

  • Bought this one on 20aug 2016. It came with marshmallow out of the box.it made me worried about refurbishment issue.Dose anyone else also received this phone with marshmallow out of the box. Kindly reply thank you.

  • Bought it on 20aug 2016.came with 6.0 out of the box which made me worried about refurbishment issue.Dose anyone else also received the phone with marshmallow out of the box. Kindly reply.

  • Best sony phone so far. Overheating issues were fixed after the marshmallow update. The only backdrop from being the perfect phone is the battery. I can barely last a day without using stamina... ;/ everything else is superb, the speed, the camera. I was never a fan of 4k because i like my videos to be 60 fps so i usually use 1080p. Water protections works great, the screen responsivenes is good even when its wet and the speaker, though not to loud, sound very good

  • Oneplus 2 or Z3+? Honest ans plz. And state the reason.

  • Besides known overheat Problems, I have the following (since Update to Android 6.0.1 ?): No USB data Connection, no "USB data / USB charging only ?" question. Charging via USB works. Hardware fail?

  • Need help..I updated the software to 6.0.1 Sony Z3+ dual but after a while the sim 2 automatically deactivated and its not available. Help restore the earlier version that supports dual sim.

  • Front - Dragontrail Glass made in Japan by Asahi Back - Corning Gorilla Glass 3

  • Don't Like sony z3+ > mobile over heat ( calling , games , charging , ...etc) > camera quality is good , but over heat > maximum 15 mints more video recording & photos camera is off , due to mobile heat. > headphone quality is good > my mobile buying 29.06.2016 , upgraded 6.0.1 , but not reduce mobile heat. > battery backup very good. > features is super > design is very good very very very worst mobile heat issue .

  • Need help..I updated the software to 6.0.1 Sony Z3+ dual but after a while the sim 2 automatically deactivated and its not available. Help restore the earlier version that supports dual sim.

  • probably, but expect it around after NY

  • With switched on or off?

  • Whos the best battery & performance? z3 or z3+ ?

  • Are we gonna get Android 7?

  • No need to downgrade man. Wait for next marshmallow update. It will come with many fixes.

  • What is the best firmware to have less heat and longer battery?

  • i think low volume because of Waterproof... (Speakers are fully covered to make them waterproof...)..

  • I get 5:30 to 6hr screen on time with medium usage.. if you play high end games continues 4:30hr to 5:30hr screen on time.. if you use less usage get 7hr Screen on time...

  • Download Sony Flash tool.. Download Z3+ Lollipop FTF Firmware, Flash through Flash tool... That's it.. Simple.

  • Mine Work Perfectly Quick Charge 2.0.. My phone charges 5% - 100% with in 1:45hr.. and there is no big problem in 720p video recording... only problem with 4K.... That's all.

  • Hi Guys, Can anyone help me out with this query? Regards

  • Dude don't worry about virus they are easier to delete on Android

  • i have read all sort of issues, i am using these mobile for almost one year now, it is running smooth with no heating issues and restarting problems, yes camera does heats up after 30 min of usage, every phone that is running on octa core processor does heat up, whether its sony or some other brand.

  • After z3 i think this is the best mobile so far from SONY but the only thing is the heating problem... The main cause for this heating is just the APPLICATION built for the CAMERA neither we can uninstall nor disable them as they run in the backdrop of the mobile it leads to HEATING Sony has to make an software update so that the CAMERA APPLICATIONS can be either uninstalled or disabled This mobile is a gift for me by my cousin from USA I am using this mobile from the month of MAY i faced a AUTORESTART problem for 3 times Is there any 3rd party application from andorid market which reduces the CPU temperature????? So What do you say Friends

  • this problem occur in every set of sony mobile, no matter which variant. no solution, they made it like this.

  • Even I have same issue... Ring volume is low wen I get an incoming call..its 82 days completed my phone being in service center but there's no solution from Sony..

  • Mine is crap, is esthetically very nice and has some very good features that you CAN'T use because it overheats a lot. I can't shoot in 4k or even 720p because the camera turn itself off to cool down. Other than that, up in features says that supports "quick charge 2.0" but thats a lie, i bought a 2.0 charger and it doesn't work with my xperia z3 + Could be a perfect phone but the processor REALLY ruins it, to me is an 4/10

  • the loudspeaker volume for calls is very low but the ear piece is fine other phones have nice loud loudspeakers, but i dont know why they dont do that in sony i mean its a loudspeaker. its supposed to be loud. i had to buy a separate speaker just to talk on the phone

  • I guess all z3+ users facing the same pblm but not found any solution on that issue... Even Sony 🤐

  • I have problems when I get calls, sounds very slowly. Solutions anyone?

  • i have no this kind of problems..

  • Thankyou.... So it is not a big problem right

  • yes I to got auto restart problem two times because off 6.0.1 update before tat thr is no. restart prblm... bt nw we can 20min of 4k video recording

  • Is any one facing the auto restart my mobile sometimes gets automatically restarted that too when its gets over heated... is anybody facing the same issue

  • Who says no new technology.. It supports Wet Touch It Supports Quick Charge 2.0 It supports Capless USB ( Doesn't require usb flap no more) It have 5mp 25mm wide angle lens It's design changed little bit compared to Z3, Side corner changes It have very high senstive touch It supports LTE Cat 60 Upto 300Mbps It have 64bit octa core processor (It helps in future) and more!!!!! not enough ?..

  • You Rock Buddy... :-)

  • my z3+ has failed to type texts yet touch is ok, I can not type alphanumeric keys its now works only on numeric keys. just calling 0702022302

  • Yes z3+ display result very very bad. Photo see clear photos

  • Officially there is no new update for sony xperia z3+ as of now the latest is .224 only.... the update which you are getting is may be a fake update... just try the repair option from PC Campanion but make sure that the data which your mobile is holding has a backup...

  • Totally agreed. The firmware 253 is bad, my Z3+ now very easy get high temperature warning which forces camera close or not allow start camera While with 244 which was the best fw which handling temp control the best. I didn't have any high temp camera issue.

  • Hey folks personally I'm not a Sony Xperia owner this minute though I've had the Z1 previously for somebody that uses their phone numerous times a day for music, video recording general photography and browsing the net could someone please tell me what's the music qaulity like whilst listening through your headphones and lastly I do play games but only 2 of them pool and mob wars as Z3+ members would you recommend this phone to someone currently thinking on buying it lastly I'm fully aware androids are easily prone for malware/ virus attacks what's the phone defence protection like is it any good THANKS ALL THE SAME!

  • how can I get your accessories for Sony ex perior z3+ like screen touch,covers.....

  • No it doesn't heat up on daily usage like Internet, Facebook and instagram but it heats up a little bit on gaming but that not soo much as rumored..me too is z3+ user

  • im having problem with phone ringtone...its not louder...anyone help me ,to fix this issue ???

  • yes it will shutdown wen u use third party apps.

  • at that latest update...phone gets heat up while using Mobile data (3g)... 👎

  • Also than the Xperia x. This phone is the same than z5

  • i think it is a fake update y because there is no such latest update to this mobile as of now

  • I brought this phone from a local shop of lucknow city 2 days ago. I heard a lot about heating issue about this phone but took the risk to buy it. Now iam really very happy with z3+ heating is there but not much which is rumored by the people and reviews on the Web.this is the best phone you could get at 25k with great camera and great processor.my z3+ came pre installed with asphalt 8 which is known for its heavy graphics and it handled with ease and the heating was very moderate.User interface is very very smooth and Simple.coming to the looks we all know about Sony which is known for their looks.phone feels really premium and at 25k there is no competitor with this phone.. All of you who are willing can buy it I must say it will be really worth your money.. You all will enjoy it.

  • in my opinion lg g4 would be better option to buy

  • Thank You Friend...

  • Hi Friend without any doubt u just go for z3 not or z3+ ok....

  • Hello.. Which is better the Sony Xperia Z3plus or the LG G4 in terms of Camera, screen and performance? Ps. I'm gonna purchase one of these next week.

  • This will depend on your usage. If you have an active lifestyle, tempered glass would be a great choice, otherwise the phone's preinstalled screen protector will be just fine.

  • I had a Z2 before, the Clear Audio + does better and more loud sound thru earphone and speakers. However, I can't recognize any different on Z3+....

  • The newer 32.2.A.0.253 (still Android 6.0.1) is coming. I really wish it can show a message "Fast charger connected" while plug to a QC 2.0 charger !!! I have a Note 4 too. When it plug to QC 2.0 chargers (I have 3 brands in hand), "Fast charger connected" shows at the top left corner for 2 seconds. My Note 4 has this message while Android 5.0 and now 5.1. However, my Z3+ never has this message while it was running Android 5.1.1 and upgraded to 32.2.A.0.224 (6.0.1) !!

  • Please suggest me friends, i want to buy new phone, so please tell me which one is better, z3+ or z3 and also tell me that does z3+ still has heating issue after marshmallow update. Thanks in advance.

  • I want to buy new phone, so please help to choose which better between z3+ or z3. Is there any heating issue in Xperia z3+ after marshmallow update. Thanks in advance.

  • I'm wondering does the clearaudio+ effect games or it just effect video and music

  • maybe u should buy a case

  • Hi friends... I brought this mobile in the month of may after my first update to Marshmallow it became simply superb... and again to the recent update the mobile is now ULTIMATE... simply NO ISSUES regarding Heating also.. Camera is good Battery is Perfect... But friends Do this mobile need any Screen Protector Like Tempered Glass or Screen Guard Normal one... Is it Necessary to have Please Help me...

  • plz help me ? recently i updated my Z3+ to the latest update mm 6.0.1 but after that my home screen applications doesn't show the notifications at all ? y ?

  • 1.Is this phone camera quality good? 2.How is the battery life? Please tell me.

  • those people who are facing problem of screen going black when they call is bcz their ear proximity area is cover with protective cover. So remove the protective cover and then run diagnostic. this is how u will gonna run diagnostic. Settings : About phone : Diagnostic : Test : Ear Proximity If people wants to put protective cover on then plz when u apply protective cover cut the area which is covering ear proximity sensing area. U can see this area on the right side of "SONY" logo on xperia z3+. On the other side of "SONY" logo is front camera.

  • I brought z3plus in March of 2016,from April I found hanging problem daily.then I approach customer service, they told me that I have to upgrade android version to solve that problem, now my Sony is android version 6.0,even though I have that problem, any one tell me the permanent solution plz

  • Xperia z3+ for sure because my friend's iphone 6 isn't even that good..

  • Bought this a month ago. Yes, it gets hot when you turn on the camera.. yes there;s an update from sony but I heard mix rumours so I didn't install it. Best phone so far even with the heating issue.. good battery, responsive, crispy clear picture.. waterproof.. et.c........................

  • Why cant i see my call s whike calling. It goes blank and come up when calls is ended

  • Get Ur phns proximity sensor checked but first check it in ur phn itself Settings>Diagnostics>Ear Proximity

  • screen guard change

  • Asuming u an indian, price at which u get second hand iphone 6 will buy u the new z3+. Will recommend to go with iphone, z3+ is great too but it does has heating issue which has not been reaolved till latest update. If u are not heavy gamer and are ok with heat problem u can go with z3+.

  • My Z3 ➕ is 2 weeks older now and i must say that this is THE BEST PHONE i ever had. I'm in Pakistan where no support & service center and warranty for sony mobile products. I take risk and succeed. Built quality is awesome. Looks is so amazing. You feel something luxury when you hold the phone. No heat issue yet as my sons played it for hours. Camera is awesome. 3 GB Ram is gigantic. If i compare price with samsung i will get J5 or J7 in 27 & 30 k. While i bought it for 33. So just payong additional 3 thousand, feature are almost double and no match of beuty. So go for it. Don't afraid of heat issue.

  • can on and off the screen by power button while calling.

  • It may be due to the screen protector (if u use one) because it covers the sensor.. So screen turn off while calling.. It happened with my sis with z5

  • I purchased yesturday, battery life gud but overheating main reson

  • On 6.0.1 heating is solved...but how??? You must have brightness on 30-40% with adaptive brightness on, nfc,location.... turn off..and most important, when you want to record video use HD (1280*720) heating is minimal like other phones. For all other things definitely heating is solved becouse you must on task manager shutt off all backround apps allwasy when you want do something hard...facebook, surfing on 4G and others common thing.

  • Even m waiting for an honest answer

  • Lol when did you purchase this phone ? and how is the battery life?

  • I want to ask whether this phn heats up after marshmallow update? Plz tell me. I m looking to buy this phn..

  • not sure why folk are saying the marshmallow update to 6.0.1 solves the over heating issue lol play a grahics heavy game for ten minutes and see if its still solved am sick an tired of having to re stick my back panel down because the phone gets so hot that the adhesive starts to get warm and comes away, its an absolute joke for a phone of the calibre... also it seems that almost everything of any use to this phone software apps and more dont work even the apps that claim to work like root programmes ill not work it may be an update of the z3 but its very close in specs and software to the z5 so what the hell is the prob lol i bought this phone because it was a decent specified nice looking phone and ad a few mates with the z3 who loved the fact was plebty of apps and mods out for it but didnt like the silly issues it had, thus thought the z3+ would be the same... its not... sony really do take the pi** out of the customers keep changing the range but hardly making any changes thwy move the charge port shave a little off the thickness move the speakers a little and call it a new model, thwn 3 months later release another that is even less of an update to the last... and is if that wasnt enough they decide tat they no longer want to use the z series moniker and say now going to make x series phones but sell the z ones side by side with them for much more dosh... come on sony give over make a mobile flagship and make it a good one something that even the chinese manufacturers like huawei and zte would be extrem happy to have in their line up... then bloody well leave it alone till 12 months later... your just taking customers for a ride taking their money for no real reward in tech...

  • z3 is louder

  • Hey friends, I am big fan of sony. So now about my Xperia Z3+, I m fully satisfied. Just a heating issue while recording a 4k video. And afterall u can't get such camera quality, awesome DSEE-HX High-res audio, S-force surrounding sound with front facing speakers, long battery life, stunning body design on other device and rest of all is awesome. U can understand if u ever use a better Xperia device. U can't compare camera to any one,because Xperia is number one in dxomark.com rankings. Heating issue during gameplay is obvious. So I m proud to be a Xperia user. Xperia - experience the best of sony If u need world class audio and outstanding camera quality then u should go for Xperia Z3+ or any other Xperia over 25k.

  • Thanks a lot for replying, Arun.

  • And what about sound volume which better z3 or z3+

  • this processor normally heats because its a high performance processor so dont worry with heating while u play games .. if ur phone normally heats without any usage u may conceal sony service ..low ring volume is better after recent update ..its because of android 6 ..not with ur mobile hardware test ur speaker using service test so u may know ur hardwares are OK.. But in my point low ring volume due to android 6.0

  • yeah its normal..am using 3g,wats app, facebook continuously for me it comes a day .. seems to be decent and if u dont use internet continuously it may extend more than a day ..

  • i didnt faced any issues like that till now just last week i took 300 pictures and continuous video recording i made around more than 40 mins of usage phone got heated due to that heat twice camera app shutdowns .. its normal because of heating due to long usage ..but i didnt found camera app closes when mobile was nornal... i made more than 300 + photos and 20 mins of videos cuz of over heat camera app closes with notification.

  • Dear Aamar! Initially before updating to Version 6.0 the ring volume is normal in lollypop. But after 6.0 update it drastically went very low i tried with sony service they said speaker is fine the issue is with Android 6. Now after update of 6.0.1 there i found there is improvement in ring volume not much but when compared to 6.0 now its far better but cant get that lollypop level.

  • heating issue after update was reduced and ring volume also improved ..

  • Pls share your heating experience post update...

  • my suggestion is go for nexus 6p if you don't want your phone to lag. nexus phones doesn't lag because they run pure android but in all other phones they have their own user interface so that is why all the android phones doesn't look the same for example samsung has its touch wiz,xiaomi has miui,sony has xperia ui,htc has sense ui.... What is lagging? If the instructions btw processor and outputs i.e screen,sound.. doesn't match then you will see lagging.The mismatch occurs because the hardware and software are not optimized perfectly.In nexus,apple,nokia phones h/w nd s/w are perfectly optimized so there is no question of lagging.so the custom user interface over pure android causes phone to lag. also the custom ui occupies ram nearly 1gb.so u will have only 2gb if u buy xperia z3 nd m5.so google for it more and take decision wisely.(the motorola phones also have pure android). now coming to your question. go for z3 plus z3 plus have more specs than m5 and the main thing is that z3 plus have snapdragon where m5 has Mediatek. advantage of snapdragon is that it has its own gpu so the cpu and gpu optimized perfectly so there are less chances that you can observe lag. whereas mediatek doesnt have its own gpu so sony buys gpu from another company and cpu and gpu optimization becomes difficult.so u can observe some lag compared to snapdragon.

  • Finally, my region has the latest 32.2.A.0.224 (Android 6.0.1) yesterday via OTA. This firmware is the one takes the longest upgrade time which scare me during the installation with the droid on the screen. Everytime when there is a new firmware available, I will reboot my phone to minimize any unknown impact due to some apps/process running in background. This time, as usual, perform the upgrade (from 6.0.0) after rebooted. Reading the status bar of installation which from left to right normally. However, when the status bar full at right, the installation keep running and my Z3+ didn't restart. After 10 minutes remained no progress, I was wondering that something wrong and worried about crash. Another 5 minutes then my Z3+ rebooted. Thanks!! Then the upgrade proceeded optimization which very very slow. I can read only 76 apps to be optimized which finally took almost 30 minutes to be completed. Then my Z3+ had reboot prompt 2 more time. Its looks like Sony this time put a lot enhancements and fixes in the 6.0.1 upgrade although my Z3+ already running 6.0.0.

  • Z3 + almost Z5 but less camera experience and no finger print, Z3 + slimmer and beautiful design.

  • But Z3. It is cheaper now.

  • z3 or z3 plus is much better than M5

  • z5 dual

  • z3 plus.

  • Z3plus or z 5 dual which is better option as both has same spec, and z5 has minor improvements but price diff is huge

  • Go for z3+. I also had the same dilemma before I bought this. Z3+ is a flagship phone but m5 is not. Z3+ has overheating problems but after I updated to Android 6 overheating is no longer there. So I suggest u updated as soon as possible after u buy it. And one thing z3+ has higher processing capability than m5

  • Z3plus or z 5 dual which is better option as both has same spec, and z5 has minor improvements but price diff is huge

  • hey which 4n is better? Z3 plus or Nexus 5x??? Is the overheating & battery draining issue fix with 6.0 update?? :)

  • I'm not faced heat like in all reviews.. because my previous device is Xperia Z1, the heat is less than that device.. and i read somewhere while calling, or normal operation the device over heats, but that is not true... I'm not feel any kind of problem with these issue... & latest update 32.2. A.0.224, improved it's performance i got antutu benchmark 86323, older android marshmallow 6.0 only touch benchmark 83000. it's touch is awesome when our hand wet, even touch work if water drops in display. I'm not faced uncomfortable heat until now.. if u have budget to buy Z5 buy it, or by Z3+ .... I'm choosed Z3+ Single SIM (E6553) because of It supports Quick Charge 2.0 , Wet touch works smoothly, it have 5mp front cam, exposed usb port (major reason to buy Z3+), LTE Cat 6 , It has Dual WiFi antenna, etc etc... So I'm Enjoying my device..

  • The same problem I'm facing on 32.2.A.0.224. And the music and video volume is also very low dont know what to do... Please try to fix it as soon as possible..

  • which is better z3 or z3+ plz tell me?

  • Switch to manual mode in camera from superior auto and there you go, u will be able to see resolution option in settings

  • ofcrse i would like to get a flagship phone. and will be using mainly for internet browsing and social medias. now really confused by seeing the negative reviews about heating issue of this phone. whether i can proceed with xperia z3 plus or not.. if it is overheating above 55 c during normal ussage,then it will be defficult na?

  • Ofcourse every mobile has heating issue. This mobile(z3+) is not an exemption and m5 not either. It doesnt heatup much as rumoured and to overcome it, u may use a back cover but it doesnt allow heat to escape eventually decreasing battery life. Its worth using mobile as it is. And only part that heats up is near the camera where the processor is placed. Now its U to decide flagship or midranger???

  • which one is better, xperia m5 or z3 plus ------in terms of heating issues..... whether overheating will occur during the normal usage(other than gaming and video ) of the mobile or not? suggestions plzz

  • Hi! I am just asking if how can i turn back the original setting of my camera because when i reset my phone, my cam was 18mp or 20mp. I cant remember if what is the exact. After i reset my phone, it comes 8mp. I hope you help me. Thank you

  • How about the front camera is it good or bad for selfies

  • I have played "Asphalt 8: Airborne" around 30 minutes. That game is one of the most demanding android games. My battery was fully charged, and after playing battery was on 79%. Temperature was a little warm and I hadn't any problem. I have silicon cover/mask (This may increase heating)

  • okay I am from Lithuania with the help of Google Translator :) and I am writing as the game matters not overheat the phone a long time playing the game would like to know ?

  • Yes, heating problem is still here, but less after update on MM. I mean that is Processor Snapdragon 810 is main reason for heating. Two processors (One procesor 4-core on 2GHz and one procesor 4-Core on 1.5GHz) in one chip is much heat energy. But perfomance, camera and Full HD recording of this phone are very good. I bought Xperia Z3+ because has 64-bit procesor Sorry for my bad English. I learn

  • guys how about the front camera is it good for selfies??????????? please tell me

  • heating its nt the problem its normal,and waterproffing dosent have anything with heating,phones dosent have holes for cooling,the have heatsinks

  • heating of device its not issue,overheating its issue,i have z3,and its heat quit a lot,but that normal,phone are powerful devices,its normal if they heat up,its not only sony,every phone heat up

  • yes there is issue of heat problem but its a very good phone ... sony

  • That's all false statement, they are not able to get the stock, that's why they are telling that. Even I was said the same by a big retail chain store. But that's totally false. Go to some other store or buy online.

  • guyz sony stops its xperia mobile anybody knw tat...tdy near by retailers said there is no more sony phones is it real

  • Yes. I bought it a day ago. It's already upgraded to Marshmello. I still find the device heating issue.

  • i buy this phone just today.. and when i compair this device to z5 even in premium version its so much better in every thing.. i dont know why sony produce z5 in the first place... z3+ is so much lighter and even thiner than z3,z5,z5 pre.. with the exact proccesor and ram and internal memory.. just finger print.. make such a huge diffrence in price and every thing ? whoever i update my z3+ to marshmelo and i dont c anything about getting hot so much.. i hardly getting close to warm... and battry usage is so good either... the ugliest thing about sony's device is about its launcher.. and with some customize its getting so nice and user friendly...

  • Am about to buy z3+, as i heard about heating issue of this phone, am confused. Plz help

  • I buy sony Xperia Z3+ last month. Initially mobile gets too much hot near camera area.I was really worried that whyvi brought this mobile even i know about its heatimg issue. But after that i upgrade software to marshmallow. AND now i didnt face such heating issue..thats amazing...its got little bit heatup while playomg the games..but its ok..it happens in all smartphones....so just no need to take worry about heating issue in this phone...its great mobile i ever saw...i enjoying it so much...And i feel proud to use such amazing mobile. Thank you'

  • is the heating issue solved?Not all people as others say writes that after upgrading to marshalow also very hot during playing games and the like because Z3+ is waterproof and has a 810 processor snapdragoon nothing can be changed

  • I bought Xperia z3+ , its awesome

  • go forz3+.....how about the camera auto focus is its fast r realy slow to focus plz tel

  • I recently bought Sony Xperia Z3+ solely because Sony promoted it as their flagship offering. All things are fine, such as display, RAM, storage capacity, processor, speed, camera, battery life. But there is one big minus and it is a great put down - it is the extremely feeble speaker. And that speaker goes even more quieter while ringing an incoming call or an incoming message. Unless the phone is in your hand or right in front of you, you can't hear it ringing. Moreover, given all the features and all that, this phone is certainly not worth 25K that I spent on it.

  • Z3+

  • I am using this phone from over a month. It is really good in all areas. I have not observed heat problem unless I play heavy games for longer times. Only one problem I observed is with camera in indoor conditions. Even with good light the pictures are not that good. Outdoor pictures are really great.

  • I have this phone for around 1 month. I face no issues with this phone...updated on the first day itself... No heating problems absorbed...it gets warm though some times but by buying a cover would benefit you... I say it's a must go if you still want to buy the phone

  • Xiaomi mi5 or the z3+ which to buy ? is the heating issue solved how's the battery life

  • im goona to buy z3+ ..im fed up on seeing about the autofocus is fast r very slow whn compared to lg g4 nd s6 plz rpy guyz

  • do you keep it on?

  • upgrade to marshallow 6.0 other write that it did not help playing a very intense game continues to heat up the phone and really helps to update the phone by playing less warm ?

  • i am a new user of sony z3+ gives a much better feel. nice to use only pblm is overheating

  • been using the phone for a month now, pretty awesome. over-heating problems was encountered while using camera apps and so the app shuts down. BUG resolved after MM updates. no over-heating problem while using the camera apps or HIGH-END gaming other than the usual heating that's common for all flag-ship phones.

  • Hi guys can you tell me about camera quality both front & rear...?

  • Yes, it's company fitted

  • I've got new z3+ few days ago it's got screen protector on when got it is it always that way?

  • After MM update no heating issue, battery last for 2 days and no calling issue in my z3+... Very much satisfied with the quality. Default ringtone were low volume so downloaded a loud ringtone. Has better battery life than iPhone 6s.

  • Callling problem, overheating, battery draining fast. After MM

  • Hi avni , your screen goes blank due to either your proximity sensor has been not working properly. causes might be 1 . sensor have been dead . 2 Sensor rubber is not der. M sharing this information due to i m in mobile industry from so many years and have good knowledge about lot of problems . Thanx

  • No hands free set?

  • how the game after marshallow 6 upgrade still very hot ?

  • which is best model ..sony z3 or z3plus...?

  • Camera is fine but not as good as iPhone 6s

  • according to some previous comments ,heating issues camera has reduced, how about gaming ? is z3+ get hot ( above 45C maybe ) ? is that annoying ?

  • good achievements

  • I bought this phone and a spigel case, does the case increase the heat problem? Is the heat an issue after MM update? I saw some commentaries that some phones are coming with trouble? What kind of tests can I do to know that my phone isnt of them? Thank you so much!

  • Hi guys What you say about its camera quality

  • Ringtone volume is low in comparison to many other mobiles but not that low that you will miss some calls. I am not using inbuilt ringtones but rather downloaded a loud ringtone and using it. No issues so far. Battery life is good for me.

  • Hi guys, Last week I bought this mobile. After one week use its simply awesome and wow. Very nice look and slimy design. After Marshmallow update camera issue is solved in my mobile. Now am taking a lot of pictures and take videos continuously without any interrupt. Two drawbacks in this mobile. 1) Heating issue ( but nowadays all mobiles having the same issue, so that's not a big problem) 2) Battery performance is average. So new mobile seekers I suggest this one is better, ever better. I Love My Sony Xperia (Cheers)

  • Now heating problem is solved... What about the incoming call ringtone volume?.... My ringtone volume is very low after update... Notification alarm music all r k.... all other bugs are fixed...

  • Xperia Z3 plus at 23699 INR or Motorola nexus 6 at 20K PLEASE SUGGEST

  • Forall those who are considering buying it, after MM update heating issue is very much fixed, no issue in regular use. It heats like normal phone now which can be managed with back cover. No random boot or force close camera, happy with decision to buy for 23600 INR. Sold my oneplusntwo and bought this. Don't play games so can't comment about heating during playing game but for normal use this phone rocks.

  • no it doesnt heat so much so that its useless, i dont get annoyed atleast

  • I had updated my Xperia z3+ dual with 32.1.A.1.185 two days before only As per my usage in this hot summer where I live in AP which is having high temp above 45c also my phone is survived with out any heat and hanging issue and we'll improved antutu benchmark score 86626 This score gives a conclusion to all this heat issue was nearly fixed

  • I found such a comment ' please no buy... i am purchase a z3+ only 3 months before. its very over hit. after over hit camera is automatic close many time notification on screen for over hit. phone is upgrade with android 6.0 but isshu is not solve' is it true????

  • Can you guys tell me about the heating issue? Is it fix or not? How long can it play hard games?

  • I want to buy this phone but in a tension about heating issue, I use to do Facebooking lots of times.Does it heat a lot at the time of Internet surfing? Please Help

  • You should go for white one... i bought it a month ago and still very impressed with design and all other features

  • Which colour is better looking Black or white

  • Thank you , I am going to buy this!!

  • Macro shots are pretty good. Also since the phone has a dedicated shutter button for locking focus with half press, its a delight for any kind of photography.

  • People asking about heating problems, it's been answered before, the phone doesn't get heated up much after Marshmallow update. Captured Photo clarity is not up to the mark as that of LG G4 or Samsung S6 but quite good. The dedicated camera button is a joy to use for taking snaps. Video recording digital stabilization is very good. The screen is awesome. Battery backup is ok. Sony is about to re-introduce stamina mode in an update which is going to improve the battery. The phone looks really good but very slippery so I use a transparent case by Spigen which keeps the phone looking lovely and I dont feel the phone's heat, if any! To conclude, for 24k INR from amazon.in, it was a very sweet deal.

  • yes it heats a lot n camera gets shut down

  • Can u guys pls tell more about camera after marshmallow ?? Macro shots r my fav. Doest it take good close up shots??? I need to buy it pls suggest

  • Can u pls tell more about camera?? Macro shots r my fav. Doest it take good close up shots???

  • Ok Im bored to listen that this phone have the heating issue... let me tell you that it will never change... the engineers dont design a good heat sink, for it, thats why it be to hot, its a very good chipset but I recomend that if you get it buy a metal protector for the heat or just dont use it for gaming...

  • Sony Z3+ is waterproof

  • Heating issue is solved 80%... It takes more than 2 hrs to charge with quick charger.. Low ringtone volume while incoming call... while other sounds like notification alarm music are k.. So we need to wait for another update....

  • Heating issue is solved 80%... It takes more than 2 hrs to charge with quick charger.. Low ringtone volume while incoming call... while other sounds like notification alarm music are k.. So we need to wait for another update....

  • Yes, there is

  • Is there a slow motion feature?

  • Hi I am also facing the same issue after update the Volume is very low for Incoming calls but no the case for Messages.

  • For me it's a good phone. No redundant apps (ex. Two internet browser) - very japanese. Big internal memory (32G). I personally not fan of external memory so 32G is nice. The overheating issue is worst when I bought it, the phone was heating even I did a normal browse. But after the update, it's not that bad... It's no longer overheat for normal use. But when I play games, it can still overheat. But as I occasionally play games so no issue and even better, so it reminds me to stop playing :D. The 2 days battery life is only when Battery saver mode is activated otherwise, the battery life is last for one day like other normal phone. Some software (ie. Recorder) you need to download it although it is original sony apps, you need to download it from google apps. Hope it is helpfull.
