Sony Xperia Z3 Dual - User Reviews

  • Hey.. would you pls share the Android 8 ROM that fitted Z3 dual ?

  • sony xperia z3 dual or huawei p8 lite 2017?

  • Found a neat Android 8.0 ROM which has an awesome kernel built in. Pulling a week out of this smartphone, more than some "bricks" I had back in 2000's. I'm proud of you Sony, this one really holds up the trials of time.

  • Quite successful smarthone with a few drawbacks. The first is a fairly quiet sound, the second is the charging connector under the cap, which you like to break. It has pretty good camera with a good macro mode. The battery works well even after a few years.

  • Z3 is really good, but have one main shortage, low sound !

  • I bought more than 20 mobiles since 1997 , but the best mobile I owned is z3 dual , very useful , camera , google and internet , whatsapp, battery , I have 2 other mobiles , but my friend mobile is z3 dual , I may buy new sony mo ile but I will keep z3 dual always with me , the bezt in radio tuner very sensitive , I advise all people to buy sony products

  • Yes you can update it to nougut. Mine just got updated last month

  • z3 dual is amazing mobile , 21 mp camera , video 4 k the best video camera in the world , i,m using z3 dual since 3 years , i charge battery one time daily , i,m using 64 gb memory , i have onether mobile , and tablet , i advise all people to buy sony mobiles , my friends using c3 for 2 years it,s working very good , thank you sony fo hi quality product , i also using car radio cd player,dvd player all sony ,

  • Good phone, only overheating that is dissapointing

  • Z3 dual is dual sim supported.

  • This phone is an embarrasment to the Xperia family, experically the Z2. Over heats, lags, from day one i was never able to play any games on it or run any heavy applications. The most consuming game i was able to play on this phone (within the first week) was Soduko. Horrible battery life. Please do not buy this phone thinking that it would be good simply because you were happy with your Z2. It is an extremely weak machine in comparison with the Z2.

  • My sony Expedia z3 + duos back glass broken.system feel blocked.not fell down.is it by battery heat?how can I open

  • excellent battery life!

  • But I don't have any issues Both sims working but you can use one data connection one sim at 9ne time Either sim 1 or 2 slot You can change manually

  • Great phone. I have one and it is working well by 2 years (I had a IP68 problem in first month, but the manufacturer replaced the phone in one week). My only remark is, it warm a lot on intense use (in hard games, 4k or in burst photo capture), the inconvenience (not a problem) is ti sometimes shut down the apk who is overclocking and warming the processor. Probably it happens due to the low refrigeration by using glass body - it's beautiful, but not functional. I do recommend Sony Xperia phone family. Premium finished, good hardware, good after market (warranty really works).

  • Hi, All you have written are lies, it all depends on how you handle your phone. I have being using this phone for over ten months now and no issues.

  • Worst phone I have had. I bought it in end of 2015. Dual SIMs never really worked well. Only one SIM would work with 4G technology, using the software data switch (you can only tap from internet data from one SIM card at a time). Had to change slots manually so as to use data from the other SIM card. The on and off button stopped working for the third time. Had it fixed the past two times, but won't do it now. The lid for the charge has been changed twice already. My current problem is with the touchscreen. Increased sensitivity out of nowhere. Had to use some apps to readjust it, but not enough to go back to its past sensitivity. I was a fan of the Z1. Worked like a charm. The Z3, however, is a nightmare. It is not reliable at all. Don't buy it. Waste of money.

  • The rear camera suddenly became blurry while the front was very clear

  • Mee too.. Im still waiting for the update to Marshmallow

  • Mee too.. Im still waiting for the update to Marshmallow

  • Mee too.. Im still waiting for the update to Marshmallow

  • My z3 dual stuck since yestarday,anyone know how to solve it please?

  • I've had a D6633 dual model for 2 years now. Good performance overall. However, the battery had to be replaced in 4-5 months as it just didn't hold charge. Luckily it was under warranty. The micro USB port cover perished after a year but was replaced with a genuine part purchased online for a reasonable price. The camera is not as sharp as on the Samsung phones, too disappointing... Otherwise, the phone looks cool and is super fast too. The dual SIM option can come in handy too and I have had no problem with the external memory card, just make sure you buy a genuine memory card from a respected vendor.

  • It will be updated system to nougat???

  • I want to update marshmallow for my z3 dual, how can I do it plz tel mw

  • If it cracks then pray that it didn't interfere with the motherboard, you will never repair it money wasted fell once and never fixed afterwards.

  • Z3 single sim or dual sim?

  • Yes.

  • Actually this is a great smartphone... But I'm still running on lollipop... Is there a marshmallow update for this?

  • Yes, you can!

  • hey guys..xperia z3 dual is water prof..?

  • yes its possible.

  • Is it true, now that 2G is switched off in Australia, the Sim slot 2 is now useless and doesn't work? Is there a way around this?

  • Hey guys how i can put sim card in sony z3

  • I wanna buy z3 dual does we can place dual sim + external memory at a time plz tell me user's

  • I have z3 dual...when i use the magnetic charger base it appears on the screen "charging rapidly"...what does it mean??? Can u help me

  • Best Phone Of 2014 :D

  • Yes similar experience with my sony z3 dual touch screen has become camplaint so don't go to sony mobiles buy samsung or Apple

  • Dears, My advice to you all, forget zperia Z3 Dual I had bad experiance with the mobile and Sony Company, they had damaged by mobile.... Forget it> Go to any other mobile but not Sony.

  • might be an issue with the touch digitizer

  • Through my observation, the single SIM Xperia Z3 has more positive feedback coming from the users, but the DUAL SIM Xperia Z3 has only a few. Why is that? I'm just curious to know. :)

  • I've Sony Z3, and now i want to switch over G5. My priority is battery timing, so which fone is better? Can anyone suggest?

  • How can i fix my z3 . ? I cant pull down my tool bar but if i rotate it its working

  • how to change custom font on it

  • I flashed a d6633 firmware from Hongkong. Its working fine. Should try it to have android 6 on it

  • Same with me... No update still 5.0 It's sad 😔

  • i buy this phone 1 year ago and its useless i use mobile for only watching videos and its all ways get heat and all ways stock .

  • I had bought the phone from a year ago now suddenly wi fi not working after consulting the maintenance center they told it need a new motherboard plus congratulations your warranty have ended and you have to pay for equal the price of a new z3, and by contacting Xperia care Center in Egypt they telling me that they can do nothing for me have a nice day!!!! my opinion worst phone ever seen and really Xperia don't care

  • Where did you get the d6633 firmware please?

  • I bought this phone a month ago it works pretty well but it usually heats up , and I tried it once under the water and there was very small drops of water behind the camera lens , nothing more happened but I never trust that it is water proof !

  • I finally got the 6.0.1 running on my D6683 through xperia flash tool. downloaded the z3 D6633 firmware and flashed mine and boom!! that is it..... network works fine except that i can only use one sim for LTE bands and the other for gsm but both sim cards works great. use this link: developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool­/

  • I just bought this phone with model number D6683 and I still have't got an update yet. Still stuck with version 5.0.2, and xperia companion on PC keeps telling me I have the latest version when I search for update. Can anyone help me to update it to version 6.0 ? or do i have to root the phone and install custom room? I will appreciate your help.

  • I think the phone is okay, I have been using mine since 2014, same year it was released. got a broken screen once through some accident , fixed and working perfectly well. Both software and hardware.

  • I have one and not yet received any update....

  • It is a very bad mobile I 've ever bought Screen is very week and broken 2 times within 6 month Battery is out of service after 6 month and increase in its size

  • dont do it. sony's quality is terrible. my z3 dual has never passed the water resistance tests, have it "repaired" twice. the battery has came loose, it shakes about in the phone. and the top part of the screen, the status bar region, has became unresponsive to touch recently. so think twice before you by a sony phone!

  • I suggest Z3 if u can afford it. Z2A has few accesories: bumper , case, tempered glass are hard to find. i would choose Z3. i Have a Z2 and Z3Compact. Z-series are good, Z2A is something strange.

  • hai guys, i have a plan to buy sony smartphone plz give me a idia. which model is good? 1. sony c5 ultra 2.sony xa ultra 3. sony z3, plz give me opinion.

  • Hey Guys from Hong Kong, any news about MM update for DD6683? You should know first, right? Regards

  • I just phone 6688 I ask him through the flash tool but have the model 6633 can say that now I have a phone 6633 are almost identical, the only problem is that it is not working now LTE. solve this problem, I have not found ...

  • Sorry, i have updated D6633 rather not D6683. I used Xperia companion

  • can I put d6633 motherboard into d6683 it died from water but Im not sure is it gonna fit ?

  • speakers working fine once dried :D

  • Blame the your region/the region where you bought it... Or just flash it with marshmallow firmware from other regions.

  • Why my sony z3 dual d6683 dont have marshmallow update? Or is there any update in my sony or this lolipop is my last version? Pls answer.. Im tired waiting for that update.

  • cheers but I know that both slots support LTE - have seen it in operation.

  • Well, if you have the dual-SIM version, the smartphone has 2 SIM slots, one supports LTE, and the other doesn't. Try to switch the slot you are using.

  • I went into the camera app, then clicked on the settings wheel (bottom left), click more and then scroll down - there is an option for 'Data storage' - default was 'Internal storage' and I changed it to 'SD card' BW

  • Hi I have the D6633 and have just updated to MM 6.0.1. Only just got the phone - so not much experience with it (moved from iPhone) - but noticed that I haven't seen LTE come up on my data sim where I used to get 4G on my iPhone - I'm only getting H+ - which isn't quite LTE. Anyone else have this issue and a solution to it? I have it set for 'LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM' so should be getting LTE where it's available. cheers

  • I have had the model D6633 for almost a year now, Normal phone, nothing great about it. except maybe for the basically unneeded software. Updates are not very helpful. The camera is not as great as 20 m.pxl sounds. However I have two questions, 1- There was a setting for answering incoming calls without having to touch or drag any Icons. Just hold the phone to the ear. This feature has disappeared after the last update. Where in the world did go? and why? 2- Why there is no feature to allow taken photos, videos, and any other downloadable material directly to the External SD? This feature will save internal storage space, plus user time. The Android Version. 6.0.1 Security patch May 1, 2016 Base Band Version 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00112-61 Kernel Version 3.4.0-perf-gc14c2d5

  • The flash reflecting back on the camera can be caused by the phone case. It happens when the hole/cutout for the camera is too deep - it creates a "tunnel", which the flash reflects against.

  • I wish i could read more this website review about waterproof before i get it into water or even bought it from 4 months now i am really sorry to be sony customer

  • totally agree with u, I've bought this phone from 4 months, today only i decide to get it with me in water just like u now it's closed i wish to get back in time just to repair this mistake and i mean by time 4 months ago :(

  • I was a sony customer, I won't be in the future because of my experience with this phone. While a solid handset (underrated in my opinion) with great battery, SD expansion, solid camera, premium finish, etc sony have lost me as a customer. - Took my phone into the swimming pool on holiday in August, just like in the ads they used to promote the phone. the screen went blank. Common issue (which you realize only after you google 'Z3 water problem'). Phone works, screen doesn't. - So couldn't use it for the rest of the two week holiday, but that is life. Had bought it in May so still in warranty. - Sent it off to Sony once back (third week of August). Sony got it on the 23rd. Checked beforehand, they said just 5 days. - They sit on it for five days. Say they are working out the problem. Decide it is broken because of a small chip on the screen, nothing to do with the water. Ask me to pay 100 pounds to repair it. I pay as I need a phone back ASAP as now back at work. - Sony goes quiet. Stays quiet. Speak to customer service. We are 'processing'. Now the 25th of August. Still no phone. Raised the issue with a Customer service rep. No apology for keeping my phone for a month. Didn't recognize any issue with waterproofing. Said 'don't believe everything you read on the internet'. - Bang. No longer a sony customer. Its why I'll now buy an iphone. They are less solid hardware, simplistic software, but at least Apple remember to not slap you in the face when they have screwed up. - Recommend others with issues to join the movement to sue sony for misleading advertising. Register your compliant with the Advertising Standards Authority.

  • I am a huge fan of Sony! But f*** Sony!!! The z3 is the last Sony smarthpone i will ever buy. Every update bugs and bugs and bugs...next update no fix... I kinda had enough

  • i have bought the device in june 2015. after nearly 15-20 days of purchase i started facing problems. i have the following problems with the device : 1. the screen suddenly went static and within a day the display was completely gone. the phone was in working condition. i gave it for repair , after which the screen fitted is not the original one , it is without a sony logo. i was charged for the replacement, even though the phone is in warranty and their was no physical damage to screen. 2. after screen replacement, the phone earpiece and speaker sound horrible. 3. i am not able to connect to net using 3g or 4g connection. 4. the camera does not work well. within a minute of shooting videos , it shuts down automatically, giving a message that the device is hot. 5. whenever i try to dial the ussd codes to check the phone balance, make some request to service provide, it does not work on this phone. i have tried using the sim card on other phones and it works well there. 6. if i choose the lte mode in this phone, i get a weak signal. while for the same sim card the signals are ok on other phones, like on moto g.

  • To me upgrading my Xperia Z3 Dual to 5.1.1 has been a nightmare! USSD code messages not running anymore. Consequently; No top-ups, No balance checks, No nothing!

  • Same problem.... ussd code not working....

  • not working ussd code sony z3 dual sim mobile

  • I just suggest you u don't update ur device 5.1.1. In 5.1.1 have more bugs. 1. Battery run out very quickly. 2. Mejor problem USSD not working. 3. More heating. 4. When u recording video using front camera more more heating. And now I decided I never buy Sony Xperia device. Sony developer more unresponsive. So if u facing a problem.. But Sony developer don't fix it immediately.

  • What about second camera ??

  • Got my z3 dual 6683 more than a month now and its amazing. Battery life is very good. However im sad because sony did not release fw 5.1.1 for this particular model. Anyway USSD seems working fine on 5.0.2

  • I got the Z3 dual 2 days ago, its battery life is fine. mobile data is good but it gets hot when playing clash of clans but this isnt a major problem just put a cover and u dont feel it hot. whats your name in clash of clans and in what clan are you?

  • the best dual sim phone i have ever used..........more than 8 months now still working like a rockstar !!!!!!!!!

  • lol. I think u search in google(Sony Z3 Dual Ussd code not running 5.1.1), then u understand. its not only my problems. You r lucky user. And u show more comments below. I like Sony Xperia z3 style, looking, amazing camera etc. But no body like heating probelm. Ussd is the most important part. I can't see my account balance. U feel it. What's kind of fucking problem. @Shaid

  • well nothing more pity than an ignorant but a sarcastic ignorant!! if you are having issues with your device along with some others it doesn't mean that you are the majority, there are millions of happy users out there, so keep whining if you like, but don't take it for granted that all users are having the same miserable experience that you are having with your device So the way I see it... you live miserably @ your whining world Mr. RiAz477 and may god help Sony to put up with such ignorance

  • Are you sure Mr Shadi Alasaad? Your USSD code running properly. You see your Account balance. When changing Your Sony Xperia Z3 Dual show remaing minutes? Are u sure ur device very Cool after playing games(Clash of clan). Are u sure using mobile data(without WiFi) your device cool? Are you sure you device cool after simply(excess 4k) using camera. Hmm every android device hot after playing games, many time browsing Internet. It's OK. But Sony hot uncomfortable. Just need 2 minutes. This time I can't receive any call. It's not only me. Many many Sony Xperia user. Many people avoid Sony Xperia. Only cause it's heating problem. Sony developer great job. I think you are a great lucky person in the world.@Shadi

  • Well, you have to check it manually if you want, to do that conduct the following, go to : Settings > about phone > Software update or you can just connect it to a PC with a PC companion installed and it shall automatically indicate if the update is ready for you, if not, you may have to wait a little longer as the update takes a while to reach all users, I have received mine OTA a few days ago, and it is going smooth so far without any bugs or issues, and it made the UI faster and more responsive than ever in addition to the change log details, Thank you Sony.

  • Sony did a good job with this update, it effected the UI interaction respectively in addition to the updates of the change log provided for this update (loving the home screen rotation and the drop down lists for Wifi and Bluetooth...) updated my Z3 dual OTA three days ago and no bugs so far.

  • If it has tendency to heat up fast due to its metallic body, what can u expect the hot phone touching the ear if u receive a call meanwhile or using skype etc. please there will be a way to keep it cool.

  • My device is getting hot while browsing or using whatsapp for 15 minutes contentiously or camera is on for few minutes. please advise what to do in order the device keeps the temperature normal. Android version 5.1.1

  • Can't downgrade ur device. If u downgrade ur device at 1st root ur device. But root is not batter for device. Many person facing problem USSD not running. But Sony developer no response to fix this problem. Really very sad for us. I can't see my account balance. Now think the problem. But Sony developer think it's nothing. I contact online customer care. Told me network operators problem. It's very funny for us. Lol lol.I said many people suffer this problem. Then he said it's network problem.I 5 time repair my z3 dual device.but same probem. Unresponsivale company. I send screen record in Sony Facebook page. But no reply me. Worst phone.!!!!!!

  • i have installed lolipop ! its fast and toch sensitivity has imrpoved !batry usage is the same as kitkat, you have to reset to factory defaults to get the best performance. the only problem i found was the answering mashine !when someone leave a message on sim2 , in the call log the message save as sim1 ! i think sony should work on call program generally !

  • I like this mobile phone

  • Thanks for your revert Divakar. Will give you a call some time. I am currently using Note 4 duos which is a decent phone, but too big to handle. I am facing certain issues in it, therefore thought to review Z3 duos. Ebay says that certain apps with run in chinese language as the phone is imported from china. Any idea on this, are you aware of these apps and any problem in the same...? 2nd - Note 4 have a 3000 mah battery but a poor problem of battery drain after it reaches 40% battery life. What is your openion on Z3 battery life? 3rd - most of the people below are complaining about connectivity issue, so is it such an acute problem in the phone? Request your reverts. Thanks.

  • Hi Sandy, Yes, You may order through EBay.com however I got from Hong Kong through my friend. If you talk about performance then iit's very good, sound is great compare to any other phone in the market. I prefer listen music with Headphones only. Picture quality is good but not as good as I had experienced in Z1. WiFi and Internet signal are weak due to stamina mmood. My number is 9871200781

  • plz tell.. is this support 3G on both sim cards???

  • Hi Divakar, I am also looking to purchase this phone from ebay, did you purchased it from ebay only. Just also wanted to understand your overall experiance of the phone. Pls revert. Also, if you are confortable, pls give me your mobile number.

  • Hi, I am in India and Using Xperia Z3 Dual and got lollipop update on 13th April however as per my opinion Kitkat was better than Lollipop. Battery drain fast and phone charged late as per comparison to Kitkat.Icon got little bit bigger not llooking good. Sense me slide show is missing. Not in the favour of lollipop

  • i got lollipop on my z3 dual it is amazing thanks sony

  • Just updated my z3 dual to lollipop. Looking good So far

  • Update is 5.0 Look, very risky, as nexus 6 had nxt 5.1.0 with ina week. Full of bugs. Its a face lift than no major improved spexs. I think wait fr 5.5.5 which wud be perfect. If Sony is closing, why its is released phones, maybe n pipeline. Otherwise no long term safety. Why not buy HTC, Samsung, Lumia or LG. At least backup or local store support carried onn.

  • I love playing game and i am using internet i need good picture quality , so this phone is perfect for me?

  • I think the lollipop update on my z3 dual is very disappointing,

  • Update is 5.0 Look, very risky, as nexus 6 had nxt 5.1.0 with ina week. Full of bugs. Its a face lift than no major improved spexs. I think wait fr 5.5.5 which wud be perfect.

  • it is coming next week.

  • No possible for android v5?

  • any hope for lollipop on z3 dual????

  • Good device except wifi poor reception

  • I have to agree with you after test it against iPhone5 for Wifi and Hspa+ connection. Absolutely poor ! Only 70%max speed of iPhone5

  • Set these parameters for audio freaks: Clear Audio+ : unchecked Dynamic Normalizer : unchecked Headphones : STH-30 HI-RES Audio via USB : unchecked Tick Sound Effect menu, Surround Sound off S Force Front Surround off Tick Equalizer, Set to custom all levels +10 except for middle freq +6 (different headphones might different levels on this setting) CLEARBASS set to +6 till +10 Set it to +10 might reduce all the mids down. So proper setting and adjustment needed ;) Enjoy the best clearer sound ever, without DAC .. Just pure phone and headset...

  • I'm just curious whether anyone has raised an issue that it seems like the ONLY 2 true dual sim "4G" smartphones that will work "anywhere" in the world is the Sony Z3 Dual and the Huawei Mate 7 Dual. For some reason, none of the companies are adding AT&T and T-Mobile's band 4 1700 frequency which is critical to really getting 4G access in the U.S. I'm curious if this is being done on purpose or why is it so difficult to add one additional band? Z3 Dual is the BEST dual SIM out there, and Sony should be marketing this fact. I have yet to find any real flaws with this phone.

  • the other guy turn to be a lady not a guy!!

  • Restart the phone, it works for my z3 dual anyway. mine does the same thing sometimes, but I can solve it by restarting the phone.

  • The other guy will get "busy"

  • pleease proper english ! so we can understand you!!!!

  • If I get a call from first sim card and and if someone calls me on 2nd sim card so what would the other guy will get the answer for the second sim?

  • Very coooool handset!!!

  • Z3 support 4g on both sims

  • U should set manual setting ( settings depend on kind of sim)

  • It's all good I'm using one for calls and one for internet and it's very very very cool . Just bey it

  • Icant download videos why

  • lollipop for sony experia z3 dual lollipop for sony experia z3 d6633 Note: The availability of software updates depends on your country and/or operator.

  • I bought a Sony Xperia Z3 dual. How do I connec to the internet without WIFI? Checkig "Allow Mobile data traffic via network" is not working.

  • it comes with neat headphones, and the sound is fantastic ! buy it you won't regret it. trust me the picture is way better than i phone 6. compare the two together and check the resoulotion , z3 is more than 1000 pixel while iphone 6 is in hundreds pixels.

  • Somewhere....

  • Z3 dual should get lollipop I read it somewhere

  • why z3 daul has no lollipop upgrade ???

  • Wtf? Really?

  • your source plz

  • Sony announced that never release lollipop on z3 dual sim.

  • very good sound quality...

  • I am also waiting for lollipop update but i think no one knows actual release date in Asian Countries... Waiting eagerly...

  • I am in Dubai.. the one i got was in-ear headphones. the sound is very very good. i listen to pop, rock, jazz and wester nclassical music..u won't be disappointed

  • Hi, When can get lollipop update sony Xperia Z3 dual sim in Asian countries. Regards,

  • Hi, When can get lollipop update sony Xperia Z3 dual sim in Asian countries. Regards,

  • Can anyone tell about it's sound quality, i am hardcore loud and crisp sound listener and the reason i chosen SONY. also wanted to know what does SONY provide in the box (especially headfones) the one i saw on net was not in-d-ear. Please suggest as i would be buying this phone in a day or two.

  • are u sure kannan

  • does z3 support 3g on both the sim card slots or not. please advise

  • Dear all i bought z3 but i found something plz help me if it normal or not? In top internal speaker it may be left because something under the cover metalic but on left... When u make call i listen like air beside the voice anyone have same things?

  • When both simcards are online you can receive multiple calls when you're calling. Network depening: you can receive 2 calls on sim1 and 2 calls on sim2.

  • I do not know. I did not use this phone.

  • Hii, I am going to buy Z3 dual n afraid of missing calls on 2nd sim, can you tell me what happens wen sim 1 call is on and someone calls you on sim 2. Does it show busy or engaged or i will get some ringtone or beep sound like i m getting it on my HTC Desire 700.

  • You're right bro.

  • Sony R&D depart is nuts, making every model with a potent deficiency, low batt back up, outdated Soc, internal 16 gb,market price is obnoxious. In Z4 tablet they have realised ad lets see n June.

  • stop trolling mr "paid by samsung to troll".you are a lousy liar.do google-sony.sony has categorically said-we are nt selling...we focus on profitability and long life of products.....z3 series has done incredibly well.."

  • Sony always has poor wifi speed and mobile data,against iphones.complete smartphone with many features that iPhone doesn't have.i think sony doesn't have good hardware for wifi and mobile data.thats sony's bigest problem.

  • seems you blamed the wrong brand huh, from what i can see is galaxy S6 is still on its "fashion" like an oval toy with metal scraps binding Zzzz

  • yes!!!

  • Amazing phone. Actually the only downside is the stupid androis 4.4 with limited sd card usage, and the 16gb internal memory. In the future I will not be getting anything with less than 32gb internal, plus sd card slot of course.

  • vp of sony comfirmed that z4 is coming before September for sure.and sales of z3 has been great.Z4 IS CINFURMED TO B RELEASED. STOP LYING AND STOP TROLLING.

  • VP of Sony today categorically confirmed NNOo Z4 expected nor comming maybe last qtr.Lick it or gulp it with outdated cpu gpu on record. Lastly move away from Sony as it is trying 😣 to sell its entire business.

  • Hi; I want really to buy this phone, but I 'm so worry from the support specially after Sony latest news. do you think it still worth buying? Also one concern how is the glass is it really anti scratch?

  • The Z4 isnt out yet and you know that Samsung is known for ''old design'' the S6 proves that.

  • The era of Xperia phones is ending. No one is prefering sony phones. Everyone got LG or Samsung or Motorola phones. Xperia phones looks old design compared to LG G3 or Samsung S6.

  • Maybe there's something wrong with your ears sukar. Go get some ear buds and clean it 😊

  • I do believe that there's no solution for this issue. I tried calling support services several times but they are giving me useless solutions I don't know if this issue related to hardware or software. If its for software that's ok may be they would recover this issue in the next updates but unfortunately if it's in hardware this makes you think to change the device and I hope this would not be.

  • Please Which is better in loudness z2 or z3

  • can update xperia z3 dual to Android OS, v5.0.1 (Lollipop)?

  • yes it will i sent an E-mail for sony and they told me that the new android software will come to all Z family :]

  • Where's the gsmarena full review for this phone

  • Iam using this phone since 2 months, i never encounter any problem with this phone. This is simply superb and awesome mobile from Sony. Thanks to Sony bring such type of all rounder mobile. iam eagerly expecting update of Lollipop 5.01.

  • can update xperia z3 dual to Android OS, v5.0.1 (Lollipop)

  • Yes it is, it fell in a swimming pool with 1.5 meters of depth for more than 5 minutes and it is still working flawlessly

  • I agree with you, i left the iphone to Z3. (iphone 3, 3G, 4, 4S, 5, 5S user)

  • This is the best fone i ever used, in my personal openion its the best dual sim fone. battery back up is also best compare to all other smartphones. bt sony failed to advertise the features to common people. i ddnt understand y people are always saying over price of sony, even if they gives better features than most of the fones. "limitations are always limitations", dnt think limitations gives the best features, dnt go for apple, explore what sony offers you... its from my personal use only, there may be variations for other's uses. but i suggest the z3 as the best fone i ever used.

  • Sony is best for me. Although it's not boomsound clarity of music is good news if u don't notice play music in noisy areas still u can hear yours even without headphones. I have had htc m7 n iphone 5s. But I can a new say that sony xperia series is a logical phone. SONY IS LOGIC.👍👍👍

  • 100% agree with you. i used samsung, then switched to Xperia but HTC experince is always best. its value fir money. sony is just using their Name, fame of cam n playstation etc. to sell this expensive and midle level phone oi.e dperia z3. even Android of expeia doesnt look hood.

  • Is this phone really water resistant? ??

  • Does z3 and z3dual have differences?

  • Except for some minor over heating issues I've noticed lately on my phone, I completely agree!

  • sony z 3 is the most best phone in the world. but sony company don't know how to popular it, They are lazy.

  • Which is better in loudness z2 or z3

  • Which is better in loudness z2 or z3

  • When compared with Network 4G, 3G.2G...etc. with dual sim. This is the only phone which comes in the list another one is Huawei Ascend. Is there no other dual sim phone which supports all network and good battery. whether z3 has dual sim + SD slot also.

  • Camera in low ligh is poor but in day light is excellent. Here Xperia beats Htc. Camera starting time is poor and loud speaker sound is also poor but battery is Excellent. Here Xperia beats Htc

  • camera in day light is excellent but in low light is very bad.Here htc beats xperia.Camera starting time is very poor . Sound of loud speaker is very low ,here again htc beats xperia.

  • I am looking fr a dual sim, Z3 seems good option, as far as it goes. my question is this - i have one sim for uk and one for europe, can i have one for calls and normal phone/data and one set to roaming for int calls etc, plus wifi active on both, regardless of whether ist live or simulateous? eg if i use whatsapp on both will i get message notifications for both numbers on wifi if home or data if out and about? thank you inadvance for answers!

  • Has anyone tested it on Three network(UK) as a second GSM calls and texts? I know that Three does not operate on 2G so would it be possible to use for example- EE sim as data LTE/3G card and Three as a calls only on a second slot? thanks.

  • Hi I'm using it Its SIM Performance is very well but only one thing is bothering me Thatis when one of them is in calling mode, the other doesn't work and wate untill call finished; this is bad because if you are using internet in one SIM and want call by other or it rings, using Internet temporarily will cut off

  • I have couple of questions. 1)Does it weakens the signal strength of the SIM since its dual standby? 2) hows the battery life if u were to use ie SIM1 for phone calls and SIM2 for Internet?

  • Question: Since its a dual standby, does it weakens a signal strength of the two SIM cards?? I have never used dual SIM phones so i would like to know.

  • Well it's not Dual Active. It's a dual standby. But dont worry about missing calls. If David is still trying to call u on SIM 2 while it's in use he will still get a ring tone except that it is a call being forwarded to SIM 1 on ur device. Hope that helps. Cheers! Oh btw...since u've already waited this long why not wait for the Xperia z4 dual that'll release sometime in the next quarter.

  • After trying a silicone case that I'd have to keep removing everytime i docked the phone for charging, I switched to a bumper case that's readily available on some of those online shopping sites. i've never had to remove it since as it perfectly fits into the magnetic charging dock. It was so expensive either. But be careful to use a non-slippery/non-glossy skin on the back since it's made of glass to protect it from accidental falls

  • i have been using this phone for 2 weeks now, the only problem with it is once you switch it to LTE signal drops on the SIM card your enable LTE on to minimal or it keep disconnecting, i don't know if its just my phone or all have the same problem.

  • sd card has its own slot or not is it dual sim

  • SD card has own slot.

  • Does the micro SD card has its own slot or it uses Sim2 slot? Pls reply.

  • Hi Everyone, Could someone please tell me if this phone is really DUAL ACTIVE phone? which means if you are talking to someone on SIM1 and if someone called DAVID is calling you on SIM2 you should receive the call on SIM2 and DAVID should hear the ringing tone NOT THE WAITING TONE. Could somebody please confirm the above scenario? I will buy this phone if thats working..thankyou.

  • I've only had the phone for two days, but I have to admit after buying and using several different dual SIM phones on the market, I find this one to be the best! I could be wrong, but from my research except the Huawei Mate 7, this is the only dual SIM phone that will work on 4G LTE most ANYWHERE. All of the other dual SIM phones I've looked at in Asia are missing AT&T's B4 1700 or missing certain frequencies in Asia. Other dual band phones from Samsung, Motorola, LG, Lenovo, Huawei are built missing a specific 3G or 4G band here or there for specific markets. Like I said, I'm happy to stand corrected from the forum. With respect to this phone specifically, the quality is solid, pictures have been clear, batter life great, speed is fast. It's a bit slippery, and I have yet to find a good slim silicon/rubber case for it. You can't use a standard Z3 cover because you will have a problem taking off the cover for the USB charging port. If anyone knows a website that I can find a slim cover or the 6633 dual version, I would appreciate it. If I find other problems with it, I'll report back, but so far I'm quite satisfied!

  • super phone by sony with dust proof and water resistant ....

  • 4G LTE on sim1/sim2 but not both at the same time. U have to choose.

  • hey guys .........i want to buy this mobile but thing is that as per sony commitment all z series will get lollipop 5.0 so z3 dual is also include in z series so it should come with 5.0 L and any one can tell me exact price for z3 dual coz as per price group of gsmarena their is available at ujst 35000 so any one can tell me whats a price for this ?

  • hi all, both sims in z3 dual work with 3g.lte can be used only in sim1.

  • It's not lollipop update. It's a Walkman and NFC firmware update

  • awsum phon

  • Hi,xperia z3 getting lollipop but xperia z3 dual not getting if u read in gsmaena z3 spec it's says on there but didn't say z3 dual and z4 coming in may or June.

  • Yes. I got mine. Sim 1 for calling and texting. Sim 2 Internet. Vice versa. :) I just don't know why I can't have Lte using sun simcard.

  • Where can get it? I want it

  • Lollipop for Z3 Dual D6633: support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz3dual/so­ftware/

  • I am using Xperia Z3 dual from last 10 days. .it is an excellent smartphone till now into the market,,,, I loved it from every side..? Yeah sometimes into low light few pictures are not taken perfectly and sometimes greatly.... Hope after next software update the cameras slidely problem at low night will be fine. But for me from every side it is the best sexiest smartphone right now... Love you Z3

  • is it true that sony is selling the mobile division ???

  • Hi Guys, Dose anyone know Xperia Z3 Dual also going to get the Lollipop 5.0 or not coz i didn't saw Z3 Dual into the expected list of phones who going to get the Lollipop 5.0, Please Help let this know.

  • I think that galaxy note 4 is better than this phone

  • No idea if this is true. If it is then we're very close to getting the update.

  • Yea.. can't tell the difference though Walkman was notified to be updated too. :\ anyways.. Lollypop will take another month I believe..

  • i bought this phone before 1 week ago,its realy cool----- battery : 3g / wifi internet full-time - 1.5 days (actual) memory : 128 gb use easy to xplore notification : good 3g : good wifi : little week music : very good camera : everage over-all very good ( due to battery backup ) babu dhaka bangladesh [email protected]

  • Nah....dont bother. I just did ! :( ...it's just an NFC firmware update. And I was thinking it was android 5.0. Sony is always late with it's updates...

  • Doing it now.. lets see..

  • You think it is better than the K920 ? I know that the Xperia has more flexibility wrt LTE in the long term but the K920 works well with 3g+ and really how many people are experiencing true LTE on a regular basis.

  • I have been using this phone since November last year, honestly it's a nice 📱 compared to Samsung Galaxy s5 I previously owned. Battery life is fantastic at least immunotherapy using power bank

  • Has anyone downloaded the new system/android update?

  • Yes, i think that is true. Also u should probably wait for the Z4 that will be announced soon sometime within the next quarter. Hopefully Sony will provide better device/memory card storage options.

  • I'm sorry brother,I have just found that from sonycare website that both sims can handle LTE or 3G,you just have to make it from settings menu.There is no specific sim for LTE or 3G.I'm sorry if I was wrong :-)

  • i'm contemplating of buying this phone, but i came across with one review that you cannot transfer installed apps to memory card, is it true?

  • Really? Most likely isolated to your experience, among the top 10 user ratings, all Z3 variant as of writing are included, not to mention, 6 of Xperia phones are included. Anyway, different people, different opinion. But so far, at least for me, Z3 Dual is the best Dual-SIM to date.

  • Its available here at Singapore, you may go to Burlington Square at Sim Lim and look for @Adix82.

  • Disappointed for this model not available in Singapore and Malaysia

  • best phone at the moment ! now also rooted without unlocking bootloader ! YEAH ! great !

  • Olephobic screen, new terminology, no gorilla glass nor amoled, chip 8005 is obsolete. Only Sony name sells. That's why you survived, now closing down, hot news. Maybe a Chinese company may take over. Most pathetic is its after sales, either non existing or changing from Sony TV showrooms. Resale is terrible in customer demand, no shopkeeper willing to risk investment. See your X4 probably the same ditto copy of all previous faces.

  • Hi Sharaf...I've used the HTC M7 for about a year. I was totally floored by its Great looks.. but the problem is...zoom sound and performance dont matter when the phone is off due to quick battery drain does it ???? Then what's the point of having some good tech and specs if u cant use the phone for a bare minimum of 5 hours screen-on time? You want to admire it's build quality all day long with Battery life that was horrible?! HTC sense didnt make any sense to me at all :D and if ur thinking the phone didnt hang or had performance issues then ur wrong !! Despite all that I still think HTC is a good brand and hopefully the M9 will be an outstanding phone but ur argument that HTC M9 will "beat them all" is a little far-fetched, dont u think? Wait till the phone is released and then compare it with not the Z3, but the soon to be released Xperia Z4 and if its better then I'll accept ur point !!! Another thing is that if u dont like the Z3 just get rid of it and buy something else. Why compare it to the Z2? Did u own a Z2 before this? For first time Z3 users like me it's still a new and novel phone. Existing Z2 users have the choice of wanting to upgrade or not. So buddy...stop hating and trolling on Sony because it didnt work for u. There are a hundred happy Z3 users out there who would happily recommend the phone to others!

  • Why are people not just contented of using phones...Why blame the factory? Frankly speaking YOU are still IGNORANT about using your phone. Read the specs carefully before operating..The problem with you is you don't research before buying.. I know you have much money but YOU are wasting it. I'm sorry but this is the truth.

  • iam using this mobile since 15 days. It is awesome and a great mobile from Sony. its display,Processor and software is great. Thanks to sony.

  • Do the Sony Xperia Z3 Dual has the option of Fast battery charging: 60% in 30 min (Quick Charge 2.0) ? Same like Sony z3 & z3 compact

  • You have your experience and i have mine as well.. i owned the Z3 and am agree with you it has a better camera for sure but when talking about performance although htc us 2.3 not 2.5, I'm sorry man htc is the best in the market. htc sense is just invention and sony far away from it, regarding the music the boom sound is just enough.. Htc is not only a smartphone but also a performance monster in ur hands and waiting for the M9 to beat them all...

  • Hi, I have HTC M8 it�s perfect and much better from other mobile in the same generation except the battery, therefore my advise to wait M9 which expected specifications will be much better and specially the battery which will be as per Experts reports not less 3200 mAh.

  • I don't know what are you talking about !! I'm using the z3 for 2 months now before I bought it I owned a G3 and m8 1- Camera Z3 vs M8 it is like comparing a pike to a motorcycle ,Z3 is superior in each and every way when it comes to taking photos and 4k videos and let me tell you something it can shot photos underwater ! 2- about the music ..you are saying it is not good ! Excuse me but Sony Z3 offers you million setting to enjoy your music . 3- please watch any durability test for the z3 and u will see how strong it is . 4- the battery is simply awesome ! 5- screen is not as good as the g3 but it is full of colors and the brightness in just remarkable . I can keep the list going on for days ,but after all it is personal ideas ,but I hate people come and say the phone is bad ,no Mr the phone is not bad at all ,you don't like the phone it is not problem not the phone's .

  • You are wrong buddy.. just have a try on the HTC M8 and you will know what i mean ;)

  • Hands down the best phone out there... The quality is just superb

  • Lagging sometimes, slow when u compare it with htc or iphone, very very sensitve and slippery, no development and close to Z2, htc 2.3 Ghz but more powerful and very strong comparing the Z3, does not deserve the paid money!! The sound not that good specially when u use the headphone,there is no demand in Sony on the market so I lost big amount of money when I sold it.. If you would like to go for android go for htc no any other brand and you will know the diff. My Question is if htc M8 is perfect in everything so what about the upcomming htc M9? I can say its gonna be 2015 smartphone because simply htc is a monster smartphone in ur hands buddy...

  • Hi Sharaf, "Sony Z3 is the worst device I have ever used among all devices I used." Why? What didn't work as expected? What's wrong with it? Thanks. Peter

  • I just bought this device 2 weeks ago and sold it yesterday and got HTC M8 and I can confirm that HTC is best smartphone I have ever used after trying Samsung and Sony and apple!! I will not buy any Sony device whatever the specifications is and will go always for HTC. Sony Z3 is the worst device I have ever used among all devices I used.

  • Is there any chance you will leave your phone 6-8hours to the sun.. to complete the charging...? Useless "feature".. for that 10% you might charge.. in an hour, better use ultra stamina.. period..

  • You can update all z models

  • I understand your point man but compare it with htc or apple and you will recognize the difference. Now i wanna sell it after 2 weeks and even cannot because there is no demand on Sony.. I regret buying this phone and will go for HTC products always as long i am using Android.

  • Bought mine about 2 weeks now and its wow. Love the screen display, interface and sleeky design.

  • this site shows the this phone not upgradeable....... Z3 singal sim is upgradeable .......... any one tell me what the next status of Z3 Dual upgradation???

  • I have it for a month now,love it!!:))

  • Mine keyboard is fast,you try to restart it?

  • It's Dual Stand by not Dual Active

  • This phone has one LTE (Sim 1) and one 2G (Sim 2)

  • Pelase, can anyone answer me if this phone has 3G and 4G in both SIMs? Or just one SIM will work with 4G/3G and other SIM only for voice (2G)? Thanks!

  • Still I didn't find the answer to this question.. It this phone a dual ACTIVE sim (which means If I am talking on sim 1, I still can receive calls on sim 2 without using call forwarding)? The official site says iit's dual Active, however some people say it is a dual stand by. Please can someone assure whether this phone is dual active - dual call?

  • Hi guys.. I just bought this device and everything is perfect but there is a small thing I noticed, When I write on the keyboard and switching to the numeric keyboard its slow and not that fast like the HTC and or the iPhone specially when you are converting again to the alphabetical keyboard again.. Anybody noticed that? If its common then I hope it will be resolved with the lollipop update.

  • I have the sony Z3 Dual Sim for about 2 months now and i am very happy with it, great Japanese quality and features. yet it would have been better if it had an infrared port to control TV and Air conditioner. And if Sony is willing to be Number 1 smartphone company in the world it shall consider adding a solar panel on the phone to charge the phone battery. It will be a unique phone in the market.

  • Sony Z3 Dual Sim comes with the MH750 sony Headphones. You can see its photos in google.com

  • Can someone please please tell me that which earphones come with this variant of z3 ? I've really been curious about it.

  • :-)

  • I expect Sony Xperia could include SMS Sync software for PC and Mobile. This greatly helped the performance of many people. I Hope ... I Hope ... I Hope (Like Sony CEDAR can send SMS from PC Sync). Its Great.

  • My upset about gsmarena that they remove the speed of gprs,edge,3g,4g

  • It has dual sim slots i.e, 2 sim slots. That makes it more featured. Rest is all the same.

  • i have this phone for 1 week now, from an online store, i have the black one, i dump my old iphone 5 for this xperia z3, very elegant looking phone, very slim and camera is great 20mp looks sharp and bright, the screen reso is so sharp also, it responds really fast, no lags, works great. the only thing i dont like in this phone is the front cam only 2.2mp, they should have made it atleast 5mp to make it decent, thats all, everything is great with this phone. i am an iphone user since the iphone 3G,then 4s, then 5, now that i have the xperia z3 and learned how great it is, i would never go back to an iphone again, so boring phone. i tried the iphone 6 from a friend browse it for 5min, i got bored, same old iphone stuff. xperia z3 is more worth the money!

  • It's dual.

  • What's the difference between this phone and the regular z3.

  • The Sony Xperia Z3 Dual and Xperia M2 dual signal is very weak compare with the Huawei Honor 3X G750. I have use this 3 model, Sony phone always no signal on my site here and Huawei Honor will not have this problem.

  • yes,can,just waiting from SONY Company

  • Make sure u enabled the right SIM from the dual SIM settings for Data. That should hopefully solve the problem. Cheers !!

  • Yes I read that statement too on the Sony website. However, it doesnt specifically mention the Xperia Z3 dual. But given that even the Z1 will get android 5.0 (lollipop), I see no reason why the Z3 wont receive the update too. Lets hope for the best !!

  • Make sure u assigned the right sim for Data. Go to Settings > Dual SIM settings > SIM card for data traffic and choose the SIM that ur Data plan is enabled on. Hope that solves ur problem. Cheers.

  • Can anyone help me how to make my mobile data working on my Z3 Dual? I enabled the mobile data but the signal like "E" "4G" is not showing and I cannot browse internet. My wifi connection is perfectly fine though. Can you please help me resolve the issue? thank you and much appreciated.

  • Just got it 3 days ago very satisfied with the performance especially the battery and speed, Sony "two thumbs up" your products never disappoint me. And oh our sony t.v still functioning well and its 20 yrs old, hope my z3 will last that long too ;)

  • yes, sony stated that they will update all z1 to z3 devices to lollipop within the next weeks/months.

  • Can someone enlighten me about the negative issue about the camera? Thanks in advance.

  • can this phone is updated to lolipop???

  • Awesome phone + battery life good build. camera is not really good (as always in SONY) missed IR sensor. Sometimes facing some network unstable issues, but overall I'm happy :)

  • everything but not android.

  • I've been using this phone for 3 weeks now. Great battery life, gets me through almost 2 days (on LTE service, wireless, WiFi hotspot on and off). Love the stereo speakers on it. Camera isn't so bad compare to the Z1, and is similar to Z2. Only problem; it slips off of everything, even on level surfaces if playing music (a cover would solve this issue). No lag whatsoever, works perfectly. Only thing I'm worried about is getting the Lollipop update, cause apparently it's not listed for the Z series Lollipop update, nor is it written in the specs "planned upgrade to v5.0 (Lollipop)" like the rest of the Z3 phones.

  • Will this phone get the 5.0 Lollipop update along with the other Z series phones or do I have to wait longer for it on this phone? It'd be a complete rip-off if I have to wait longer than I already am.

  • I wana sony xpriaz3 dual

  • Xperia Z3 is best! But if you're a wise man then grab the equivalent of two high-end smart fone intead of one phone and that's Z3-Dual,the battery is depend on your daily use,but base on my xperince i'm using my internet non-stop and can reach 12hrs. (highly recommended!!)

  • plz tell me hows is the battery timing and can upgrade the phone in lollipop version???? Z3 batter or Z3 dual????

  • Though camera appears impressive on specs, after watching sample photos from Z3 on internet it appears Sony still fails to perform good in auto mode, specially the green color. World is green but photos from Z3 are not green enough. They appear to be under saturated and washed out even in manual mode, failing much applauded Sony G lens on sony website and make it appear cheap.

  • Yes it does support call forwarding

  • I need to know that whether Z3 dual can be upgraded to Lolipop or not. Apparently it wont be... Just to confirm...?

  • Nice phone. Nice specs. Bad for a few things: 1. Can't change fonts, can't accept downloaded fonts. 2. The phone looks too ordinary for the value. 3. It would have been special if it was dual active, it isn't. 4. Despite the high mega pixel, the camera is not as good as a 13mega pixel of Huawei's latest dual phone. 5. Without a pouch, the back part scratches. This could have been more attractive. I could have opted for Note 4 dual for all the dynamics in it or the lHTC m8 dual. Most phone Makers will have to beat Samsung if Samsung slows down on too many varieties, especially the unnecessary ones.

  • i.e. call forwarding

  • Does it have whatsapp?

  • Why Sony doesn't have Infra Red phone?? I am really want it..

  • Use Nokia Lumia 1520 ,everything u get Inside it...

  • Which specific dual feature capabilities exactly are u referring to?

  • Is the dual feature capabilities is same as other models like T2 ultra or C2 Dual? (ignore other mobile features i.e. batarry or 4G etc, just focus in Dual feature )

  • G3 dual? Which phone is that? Are u talking about LG G3 dual? I didn't know such a phone existed. LG G3 is such a lovely device except for its battery. Hardly lasts a full day.

  • Thank you for that info.

  • which one is better g3 dual or z3 dual ???? help me to buy...

  • which one is better g3 dual or z3 dual ????? please help me to buy..

  • Every phone has its negatives. There is no perfect phone. People either buy what they like, phones with the latest specs, or what they can afford or what suits them best. But whatever phone u buy can never be the best. The iphone 6 plus bends. some Samsung users complain about Touchwiz or the lack of premium build quality in their phones until the Note 4 and the Alpha came out and I personally think Samsung did a great job in making their phones look good this year. And yet there are some who will complain about battery life. Others are having an iOS v/s android war. The thing is...With every device u buy there's always a "give/take." U cant have it all. Unless someday, someone will build a phone the exact way u want it !! I have used the iphone and an HTC M7 before switching to the sony xperia z3. What I personally liked about the Sony Xperia z3 dual is that the battery life is outstanding on this phone. I can get by a day and a half easily before I run out of juice. I have had no problems with Android except for a persistent downloading document notification when i receive attachments in my e mail. That could be an software issue. So that leaves us with hardware. Yes the back of the phone is made of glass. And it's not Gorilla glass. But isn't glass supposed to break when dropped onto the floor? Plastic / Metal would have solved that. But hey atleast it's water resistant. I always use a case and screen protector on all my phones so that when i sell/exchange it for an upgrade, the phone is still in mint condition and there are no dents or cracks or scuffs. I realise that some people dont want to cover their phones up and want to flaunt it about. In that case u could go for some minimalistic protection like aluminium bumpers that will protect the aluminium frame around the Z3. And there's also the Nillkin tempered glass screen and back protectors that u can use on both sides of the phone for some extra protection. Surely there are ways to protect ur phone no matter what brand, from accidental drops and breakages.

  • I have been using it for over two months. No lag, jam or hang. Apps run smoothly. Battery performance superb ! LTE worked smoothly but drained battery faster than usual 3G/HSDPA. Camera / images quality above others. Top of the top. I doubt other brands can defeat the camera performance. Specially when u combine with QX30. Killer beast pocket camera. One thing that really really dissapointing alot is Sound ! when i plugged headset both Apple Iphone5 earpod or Sennheiser Headset i have, Z3Dual better and have quite deep bass compare to HTC model i have, but seriously Sony needs to improve on the high range frequency response. High frequency gone resulting in unclear voice / songs performance.

  • But good

  • i was looking forward to buy this device, but the glass cracking problem it's a deal breaker several users on android forums are reporting it also ...this is ridiculous for a phone on this price range. Shame on Sony , sadly there is no z2 dual :P

  • There is no such a perfect phone ...all of them if u read all the reviews in other sites u will find out what i mean...those reviewers have high rating on those phone with one gb of ram than those with 3 gb of ram...is this correct? there is also comparison of built in camera that the other is been focus poorly just to try to please who paid them to destroy the reputation of the other cp.... i have the latest 3 of the high end cp of the 3 most popular cp..and this Z3 top them all...

  • good phone...those people trying to comment with dual sim...can they talk simultaneously with 2 sims..haist..they make un necessary comments...some who make comments here is just been paid by others...just to destroy the sale of this phone...

  • We have bought 10 cellphons. After two weeks, 2 of them have broken back glass. Both of them broke because of the quick change of temperature. Hot phone connected with cold surface and vibrations = broken back glass. One cell my friend put on cold car leather seat. I have run from warm flat to bus (outside temperature about 0 C degree). 50 meters run. The part of the phone witch was outside my pocket had broke.

  • 1 month after buying it . it suddenly restart then stop working ... i thought it was a software problem but unfortunately it's a hardware problem :(

  • yes it is

  • Not so sure about that! I dont think there is a Z3 compact dual. u might want to check out the official sony website though....

  • Thanks. I thought so too cos i get alot of email attachments. Do you have any idea on how to stop it cos its really persistent and annoying. When i clear data amd cache its gone and when i connect to data its back on.I appreciate.

  • Is it possible to use SIM 1 for calling and SIM 2 for Internet at the same time or not.

  • Do they have this z3 dual sim 4G in compact version? Say, 4.3-4.5 inch screen? Please advise.....

  • NO we Have this Phone in Saudi Arabia

  • Its officially available on the sony mobile website of these countries: China, Colombia, Egypt, Hong Kong, Iran, Indonesia, Nigeria, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, UAE and most of the middle east.

  • Got my phone back,, they fixed the prob, thanks sony

  • Which country is this z3 dual sim available? Can't find it in sony.com us, uk, sg, ph.

  • Answers: 1. i think so. But u can call your network and ask them if charges apply for call forwarding. 2. Yes you still need to activate call forwarding to either sims even if they are from the same network carrier. This is because when u are on a call on sim 1, sim 2 goes into standby. if at that time someone calls u on sim 2 then unless call forwarding is activated u will not know who's been trying to reach u. 3. No i dont think there are any dual sim active phones from sony. But u can confirm that from their official website.

  • lol....good idea !

  • if call forwarding been used. and I got call on sim2, while call some trying to reach me on sim 1, it should give a ringtone and notify me about the caller. this is what has been committed by Sony. my questions: 1- if I hold the call and pickup the 2nd call. this will be chargeable? (network carrier charge for call forward) 2- if sim 1 & sim 2 is same network carrier, so still need call forwarding to recieve calls on sim2 while having call on Sim1? 3- Any model in Sony got Dual-Active-Active?

  • There should be a small reset button accessible with a safety pin... Try that

  • Yes nouna. The phone is dual sim standby. Which means that u must divert calls to each other using the "dual sim reachability" mode on the phone so that when one sim is in use in a call u can still receive calls on that same sim or the other sim at the same time. Also u can decide which sim to use while making outgoing calls. Hope this answers your questions. Cheers

  • Would you please tell me in details how the 2 sim cards work at the same time? Do I have to divert calls from one sim to another? Or i can receive calls on both sum cards without any divert? And when i make a call will i have the option to choose from which sim card or the phone will select randomly?please kindly reply cause this is so important for me to take the dicision of buying Z3 dual. Thanks in advance.

  • I get that same image of documents downloading in my notification bar. I believe that this mostly happens when you have either sent/received attachments on e mail. It usually cleared away when moving from network data to wi-fi at home/office. So my guess is that this could be due to slow download speeds over network data. And about call forwarding to either sims when one of them is unreachable....well i guess that is a feature of dual sim 'stand-by" phones. i think it helps to save battery life as opposed to having the other sim active at the same time u are on a call.

  • Please can anyone tell me how to remove a persistent, non conclusive image download on the notification bar of my z3 dual. Done the download manager force stop,clear data and cache. Would clear the download and resume after a few minutes. Becoming very sickening. Can't even find the initiaing download history or application responsible for the download.Thanks. Dual active also isn't working as stated, had to divert calls on both sim when unreachable to either. Other than these this phone is awesome with amazing battery life.

  • Nubia Z7 doesn't support that many LTE bands outside China and the software is so-so just like the network compatibility.

  • have z3 dual 16 days ago same problem with you. brought it to sony service center and hopefully i will get a new software coz the recent one crashes. try to send a message to sony . only today i learned that this problem can be fixed by our own computer at home. select support zone on pc companion click on start on next page software update n click start do not connect the phone instead choose option repair phone

  • uninstall all apps or restore the phone to factory settings, it happened to me and there was an app killing the battery

  • Check with ur network operator. Some networks operate at different bandwidths that are incompatible with the handset.

  • What you wrote is wrong please find below the correct answer : Handle calls on both SIM cards Dual SIM smartphones come with many advantages. They allow you to separate work and play � and handle your calls more cost-efficiently. With our new dual SIM feature you can talk on one SIM and still receive calls from the other, instead of going to voicemail. This gives you the option of putting the first call on hold while answering the one coming in. So you need never miss a call. You activate the dual SIM feature when you set up your phone. If you add your second SIM card later, you can always access the setup guide from the Settings menu.

  • This is unusual. I haven't encountered this problem. If your phone is still on warranty then better take it back to the seller

  • I'm using the Xperia z3 dual. My phone was at full charge when I took it off the charger at 5 am this morning. After 5 hours of screen-on time (it's 8.30 pm now) I still have 25% battery left. I think u will be pretty happy with the battery on this phone

  • Q. How this dual standby affects on battery life?

  • Yes, Sony recently announced that all Z series will get update Android L. You can find news over GSMarena.com itself

  • Guys is that Android 5 (lollipop) can be up gradable to Z3 dual

  • Hi, Anyone with same experience with me,, I got Xperia Z3 dual for a month and I dont know wat had happened in my Z3 dual, I cant turn it on and off by using the power button,, I can't even lock the screen by just simply pressing the power button, I can't also adjust the volume using volume racker and I cannot also take picture using the shutter button on the side. What should I do? Does my phone needs software repair or something else to be change.

  • Also go to Settings > calls > call forwarding and check if the call forwarding is enabled or disabled. If it is disabled then enable it and type the sim 1 number if sim 2 is unreachable or busy and vice versa. Try different combinations. If nothing works contact ur network operator. And they will help us activate call forwarding. Cheers

  • Go for ZTE Nubia Z7 series... Both slots are LTE capabale at a time and dual active with high specs...snapdragon 801 chipset

  • Guys it's very rare that we get calls on both numbers at the same time....it's better have 1 phone with 2 numbers than to carry 2 phones...thou u can active auto forward function....I guess dual standby gives better battery life then dual active

  • Watch "SONY XPERIA Z3 DUAL SIM UNBOXING" on YouTube SONY XPERIA Z3 DUAL SIM UNBOXING: Guys I am using htc m8 dual SIM....I know it's dual STAND buy and not dual active....I had Samsung note 3 dual SIM which was dual active but coz of Chinese restrictions I had to install new firmware to make Google store work....soo I sold it....coz no software update....I am very happy with htc m8 dual SIM....I used St dual for few days but it lagged like mad....I love htc

  • yes u are right! i hope more flagship phones in the future will come out with dual active phones for people like us who want to have two sims.

  • I have been using htc desire 600 dual sim/dual active/dual call. I try to replace with larger display ,like 5.5inch display , almost non of those device have the specs.... for business ppl n tech ppl like me like to use this kind of device . there was time I try to get htc m8/E8 dual sim , but waste to buy it does not have dual function.

  • Had an htc one M7 single sim. Battery life was so bad. Couldn't last through the day. It also charged very slowly.

  • htc one dual sims are active

  • i dont know...most dual sim phones available these days are dual sim standby i guess...Do u know which phones available in the market are dual sim active / and dual call capable? Anyways dual standby or not...it's still a better option than to carry around 2 smart phones all the time...Atleast i can say that for myself...and since i have both sims from the same network, call forwarding is free. So no worries there either !

  • what a waste if this phone cant handle both calls (dual active n dual call) without using call forwarding , means spending money.

  • Hi can anyone tell me if they've had the z3 dual working in the UK on a EE SIM CARD. Can't get mine to recognize it at all keep getting error, unfortunately the com.android.phone has stopped? Many thanks in advance

  • I must confess, Sony Xperia Z3 dual is a great deal. I have no doubt. Thanks to Sony company.

  • I must confess, Sony Xperia Z3 dual is a great deal. I have no doubt. Thanks to Sony company.

  • Both SIM 1 and SIM 2 support 3G/4G but only one at a time. That means if u have data subscriptions on both sims (like I do) then u Must choose which one u want to use for mobile internet and then activate "mobile data traffic" on either sim 1 or sim 2 from the "mobile network settings" menu. The preferred network mode can then be selected as 3G or 4G (LTE) as u wish. The other sim which u are not using for data will automatically go into GSM mode. You cannot have LTE on both sims at the same time. You don't need to. If u are using sim 1 for mobile data traffic and it has reached the data limit for the month and u cannot use it anymore or if your network will charge u for excess data usage, then u can just easily switch to sim 2 for mobile data traffic and choose 3G or 4G for sim 2 from the settings menu. It's really that simple. Hope this answers ur question.

  • Also go to Settings > calls > call forwarding and check if the call forwarding is enabled or disabled. If it is disabled then enable it and type the sim 1 number if sim 2 is unreachable or busy and vice versa. Try different combinations. If nothing works contact ur network operator. And they will help us activate call forwarding. Cheers

  • Does both the SIM cards (SIM 1 & SIM 2) support 3G ? Most of the dual SIM phones support 3G or 4G in SIM 1 only.

  • Thanks for all. I am going to buy one

  • Hi this is sw. Try this. Go to settings > More > Mobile Networks > Network Mode and select LTE from the list for faster data if ur network supports LTE. Good luck

  • I have an lte simcard but its not worked on my sony z3 dual sim

  • Also go to Settings > calls > call forwarding and check if the call forwarding is enabled or disabled. If it is disabled then enable it and type the sim 1 number if sim 2 is unreachable or busy and vice versa. Try different combinations. If nothing works contact ur network operator. And they will help us activate call forwarding. Cheers

  • Hey Nomi I got this info for u from the Sony website. Hope it helps At any given time, you can select which SIM card to use for making a call or sending a text message (SMS). However, when one SIM card is engaged in a call, the other SIM card is temporarily disabled. This means, that, during a call, only the SIM card that you have selected to use (the active SIM card) is available for communications. It is not possible to handle two calls simultaneously on two different SIM cards. When you use one SIM card to handle calls, the other SIM card is disabled automatically. You can still receive calls to the disabled SIM card by using the Dual SIM reachability feature. If the Dual SIM reachability feature is activated and you use, for example, SIM 1 to handle an ongoing call, any calls to SIM 2 get forwarded to SIM 1. This means that you can put the ongoing call on hold and answer the call forwarded to SIM 1 from SIM 2 (which remains disabled). Note! Dual SIM reachability uses the Call forwarding feature. Check with your network operator to see if call forwarding is available in the networks that your SIM cards use. Call forwarding may not be available if you use SIM cards from two different countries/regions.

  • Which operator or network do u use?

  • i tried to active dual sim reachability but it says network error occurred

  • it is right,i want to buy this phone next week..

  • It's not dual sim, it is Dual LTE

  • Did u try activating dual sim Reachability setting? If u do that then calls to sim 2 are forwarded to sim 1 while u are using sim 1. It worked for me. Do try

  • look, xperia z3 compact dual sim, it was so perfect.. waterproof dual sim small phone is really rare..

  • i Got This fone today both sims are not active ,if you are calling on sim 1 sim 2 goes on answering machine.i spend 830 dollars its crap fone.if you will go on www.sonymobiles.com they wrote abt dual sim all bull crap dont buy this fone

  • It'll drop by the time the z4 is announced in march.

  • OMG finally a great flagship dual sim phone... i have been waiting for this, just needs a little price drop.

  • To: sony corp. Hope you read some of the comments on the page. Pls do reply or atleast consider some and apply it on your future development xperia phones are great but it needs a little push. Almost there... Good luck

  • I don't think it will make any difference. Go ahead and use the dual sim phone as a single sim

  • Sorry that last post was a reply to yaser

  • For this you have to activate "dual sim Reachability" mode in the dual sim settings. When you are taking to someone on sim 1 the other sim goes into standby. And if someone calls you on sim 2 at that time the call automatically is forwarded to sim 1 just like call waiting on a single sim phone. You will hear a tone and the name / number of the caller on sim 2 will be displayed on the screen. This way you won't miss any calls. So don't worry. Same thing happens if u are using sim 2 and somebody calls u on sim 1. I tried this out myself using two other phones to call my Xperia z 3 dual. Also I read somewhere that if both sims are from the same network then call forwarding is free and it is chargeable if the sims belong to two different networks. But I'm not sure about this.

  • Hi hear in my country there is no 1 sim xperia z3 its all dual is there ANY difference between their performance on using only 1 sim ? im afraid if the dual might not be as good as 1sim even if i use only one sim card

  • For this there is an option called Dual Sim Reachability in settings menu. You must activate this because this is a dual standby phone. So If you're talking to somebody on sim1 and somebody calls u on sim 2 then the call will be automatically forwarded to sim 1 (just like call waiting). And the same will happen if you are using sim 2 and somebody calls u on sim 1. So don't worry. You won't miss any calls. Hope this answers your question brother.

  • May somebody tell me how does the dual sim work? If I am on call using sim1 and somebody is calling sim2 what message or tone he will find?

  • It's my first full day with the Sony Xperia z3 dual and I'm really pleased with how it has performed so far. I took it off the charger when the battery was 100% and as I write this using the phone it has been about 13 hours 45 mins and 5 secs since the full charge and I still have 46% of power left. The phone is on stamina mode and I have used both WiFi and LTE for a combined 4 and a half hours of browsing and WhatsApp mostly. The best thing about stamina mode is that u can choose which apps u want running in the background that uses data (whether WiFi or 4G LTE). All in all a good phone. I'll write more as I discover more about this phone

  • Yup. It's a good phone. You won't be disappointed. Go for it

  • i want tobuy az dual it is agood phone?

  • Bought one today. Super excited. So far so good. Hope it stays that way.

  • Since I wrote the last experience and the problems I faced with this phone ,I figured out a lot about the problem ,and as many problems ,this problem was solved pretty simple. First I noticed that a popup came on screen that the media+++ coudnt close down,and I thought that was related to my problem of battery drain and getting hot. But the problem was solved much more easy. I had a few years ago also the same problem with a Samsung and last week I start to remember the problem about the micro sd card. What is happen if you buy a micro sd card is that you have to format it in the phone,and you will expect that the exfat formatting the phone will do is the best. Finally I found out that the exfat format was causing the problem with freezing the clock,and the media popup error. And I decided to reformat the sd card on my computer to fat32 and put all the data back on the sd card again. That was the solution for all the problems I found with this phone and it seems that the problem pops up with more phones if you are using a large micro sd of 64gb or in my situation 128gb micro sd,in combination with a lot of music and navigation maps. My card has been filled almost full with data,around 110gb. Now after the format to fat32,i don't face any problems anymore and the phone seems also much faster with searching my music database on the micro sd. For some reason exfat doesn't work very well for data junkies like me and formatting to fat32 solves all the problems as well. Another benefit of formatting fat32 is that also much older phones will recognize the total 128gb data of the micro sd,while exfat will give an error or just give some less data on older phones.

  • Missing qi/wireless charging

  • Got Z3Dual a month back. Good hardware,design,multimedia options,cam,OS is famous and boring Android.. switched from Sam. S4 so missing Video calling option light weight S Notes and Folders making Option ,directly at Library. Enjoying Cam,good hardware As design Xperia phones are bit slippery from hand.which cause mis handling. when I put phone over ear to listen a call, The charging n MicroSD slot cover cathes my hair. Later I came to know that Lumia come with wireless charger and a tracker. while I dont like concept of a woreless charging cover for Xperia Z3. with expensive wireless charger. Still All Android OS havent given option for Timed Profiles , like my best ever Nokia.

  • Which one of the three models of Z3 should I buy? Z3, Z3 Dual, or Z3 compact?

  • whrere is it available to purchase dual sim..in india its not available any chances i can get online

  • My first opinion about the z3 dual is that i found a mayor bug in it unfortunatly. I bought 2 phones,one black and one copper version of the 6633. What is happen is the folowwing. After a while, the phone become very hot and the battery drains quickly. That problem starts after a while after the initial setup and i was trying to track down the problem, so i did several hard resets with one phone to find out if probably tha sim card is influenced the problem as wel the micro sd. The first sign of the processor gets on top speed what is likely the main problem of the battery drain and the heating up problem is that the clocksettings jams. As soon i try to set the alarm on my phone, i found out that the clock page freeze and after a few seconds the message that i can wait or close the clock. As i already mentioned, at the first setup everything works perfect,but as soon you do a restart on your phone and opening the clock app you will find that the clock app will freeze and the whole problem can only be solved with a hard factory reset. I contacted already sony and i will see what they can do for me. First they suggest to do a full firmware update or so called a repair firmware update. I will do this coming weekend and i will report my experience what that firmware reset will do and what effect it will have. I wonder if other users have the same problem. I can tell you that i have it on both phones. One works with t-mobile netherlands and the other works on the vodafone netherlands network,so the simcard doesn't effect this behavior. Hopefully the firmware reset will solve the problem because without this problem this phone is the best i ever had..

  • Why is that even a Question here ,,, Sony Z3 or any of its siblings!!!

  • Which is better plz z3 dual sony or iphone 6??

  • Its around AED2799 as of today

  • Hi, I don't think it will be available in European markets..

  • dual stand-by

  • Sony lies... z3 dual is dual standby only and moreover it is not working correctly... if one call is active - in some cases - the call to second sim is not terminated and still trying to dial... z3 do not notify about this in any way -> so you miss second call totaly, you do not even know that someone tried to call you.

  • z3 dual is dual active or not?

  • where can I buy it? I need to buy it online because I live in Andorra (a little country between Spain and France) and I can´t find it in any shop here, in spain and in france. Thanks

  • Thanks alot...and 2 sims works together??

  • Sony Z3 is the best!! Trust me.. Im using Enjoying it!! Every inch of it...

  • Which is better plz z3 dual sony or lenovo vibe z2??

  • The only problem with this phone is that when u connect bluetooth to your car dvr to play audio/music files. The phone detects all bluetooth devises as headset and therefore plays at minimal volume.

  • To DD, you must consider also to learn that not only the Corning's Gorilla glass is in its level. Apple and sony uses dragon trail glass as there standard and dragon trail has also its unique characteristics as well if its not above or on par with the gorilla unit. Take your time to make research and rigorous readings.

  • Z4 perfect if: SIM: Dual SIM Memory - Internal: 32GB Infrared port: Yes Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 Please have Infrared port

  • waht is mean diff for dual standby and dual active ?

  • Even Z1 has it

  • not the 930 but the 1520 is the right choice versus the Z3

  • Support Direct video calling option?

  • Lumia 930

  • Gorilla glass for toughness, 5 MP front camera for selfies, & a True HD screen like the LG G3....would have made this phone unbeatable in the market today. Guys at Sony..work on it & you will have a winner I say!!

  • what is the price for that Phone in Dubai? if anybody know please tell me.. because tell now it was not published in Egypt thank u

  • I have been an ios user for 5years and i want to test use an android or windows phone. Should i get z3 or lumia 930

  • does this support dual 4g? as in 4g capable on both the sims at one time?

  • it has a radio

  • LTE dual SIM? You mean i can put 2 networks with LTE capabilities?

  • Amazing advice

  • Sony xperia z3 dual d6633 is superb. its amazing, compare to other phone, c'mon guys. Sony Corporation gives us the privilege to be updated by the latest innovations compare to other manufacturer. Every phone has its limits. Phones are just materials they are not immortals. So if your looking for One who don't break after fallen. in Heaven maybe there is. :)

  • I don't believe the Z3 has a FM radio

  • It seems dual active like samsung b7722i !

  • z3 dual is dual active or dual stand by?

  • Phone is goid well build. Back is of glass. Battery is good for a day with good usage.over allbphone is lively.

  • Correct They claim bullshit If ever ur screen cracked in any Xperia's waterproof series. Then u hav to pay 50% of itz current value, mention in box. They will take it as a discount billing case. So widout or after insurance u will be on great risk. At that time keep ready 50% of it in ur pocket. Their u wud miss gorilla glass.

  • thank you jifarias

  • planning to buy this phone. can anyone tell me that its pice will decrease or not? and also tell that is its back made up of metal or plastic or glass? also tell about its battery life . i am only going to buy this phone especially for gaming.

  • thank you very much.i hope buy it soon.

  • AMIR, both of the slots supprts LTE. During your initial settings, you are going to be ask to download settings on bot sim cards. Now during normal operation, you can immediately swap your traffic connections anytime. The only issue im having at this time is the camera heating build up in the camera area but it never lags or crashed. Battery can last more than a day even in heavy use still having 40% in the succeeding day. Stamina mode is excellent. Sound for me is excellent too...stereo separation is great mostly in watching movies. Screen is by far the best for me, very natural and good contrast excellent viewing angle very responsive to touch, camera is a bit less punchy in colour but details are very good too, night shots superb noiseless. Simply think its a digicam due to its surprisingly powerful tiny LED flash but very bright as zenon units. I hope this will help you of getting your choice. ...........

  • Hi can you please send a link and show us picture of your shattered device for the sake of those who are planning to buy and so, sony's attention for the fix of the succeeding product releases. If not, we will start to doubt that you are just only one of those paid bashers, coming in here in this forum just to bring bad information to our beloved product as xperia market is now unevitably gaining strong grounds. It would be our great pleasure if you do so....thank you

  • Hello: Both slots have LTE capabilities, but you can only have one working in LTE (4G) and the other in GSM (2G).

  • who knows z3 dual support lte on 2 slot?????? does anybody test this important ??? or only one slot support 3g and 4g and other slot support 2g only???!! thank you.

  • Why do they insist in use of nano-sim? (almost no difference to micro-sim, in space, but to user I think is not pratical).

  • Do not drop your phone to the floor.

  • Yes, I agree, Bought this phone and was dropped by mistake from a 72cm height, front screen shattered. Sony claims its a shatterproof glass. That is total nonsense. they need to revisit and sort this out. I feel cheated!!!!

  • Bought it on gitex today and i can't rid off my hands exploring the new set. Priced in dubai for 2999aed. Hope to hear from my fellow Z3 about their opinions.

  • I think you need to wait by december bro, We filipinos here in Dubai are already enjoying it today, hopefully the Z3 dual will also be available there in the Philippines real soon :)

  • Good day sir, it is already available here in dubai and the price is $821 :)

  • I'd like to buy xperia z3 dual

  • It is my fevaret Phone

  • At this day and age generally the dual sims are dual standby. Yes Dual SIM smartphones come with many advantages. They allow you to separate work and play � and handle your calls more cost-efficiently. With our new dual SIM feature you can talk on one SIM and still receive calls from the other, instead of going to voicemail. This gives you the option of putting the first call on hold while answering the one coming in. So you need never miss a call.

  • Does the dual sim cards work simultainusly ???

  • yes It has Two speakers on the the front

  • yes It has two speakers in the front

  • Probably a Brahmin

  • Is this fone has a dual speakers?!

  • You can always by at expansys.com

  • what would be the cast of this phone in India??

  • I hope that z3 dual sell in indonesia...

  • I hope you will sell the dual sim in Malaysia

  • Anybody here know the release dateof this phone and also what countries...

  • The deference between Z2 & Z3 not deserve to spend more money ... think again Sony

  • You may only know corning, but, FYI latest generations of xperia mobile comes with a dragontrail glass made by Asahi. Go to google and ask about it for you to know.

  • Very nice specs but display size 5.7 should have.

  • Z3 is a dual active sim phone. i saw the following feature that's displayed in their website " Dual SIM Where both worlds can always reach you Business or private call? Separate work and play with dual SIM cards. You can keep both SIM cards active at all times � meaning you can take calls on one SIM, and still receive calls and messages on the other."

  • Thanks brother, I was 80% sure of what you mentioned, But your words hits the truth. Thanks again

  • Can Z3 work on dual SIM having LTE capability for both networks?

  • = z2

  • Thats right, there is a special version of Z3 that has 32GB storage but its for a US carrier only and not for the rest of us. Sony has never said Z3 will come in a 32GB option and no papers has stated it will but still this site refuse to correct the wrong specs. The only Sony device introduced at IFA that has a 32GB option was the wifi only Z3 Tablet Compact. Also Z2 tablet wifi only was "presented" with a 32GB option but no one has ever seen one, even in markets where that tablet sold well Sony chose to not offer the 32GB one. Just consider it non-existing.

  • When will it be available in Malaysia

  • Uh, an Oversaturated display lover disgusting!

  • When will it be available in asia i.e. philippines

  • When will it be available in asian market i.e. philippines or

  • I'm depending on you GSMARENA to buy this mobile, because you mentioned that it comes with 32 GB ROM, While SONY whitepapers declares they have 16 GB models only ..

  • It's confusing... The Z3 LED flash from the pictures I've seen, appears to be a little bigger with some sort of magnifying glass or something... compared to Z3C. If Z3 has ISO 3200 and Z3C has 12800...which is best for low light pictures and videos ? If I buy Z3 Dual, can I have active in the same time... data + calls on sim 1 on an 3G network, and calls for sim 2 on 3G network ? I'll have to wait for GsmArena to do some camera/video/LED flash/testing/review for these 3 phones before I'll choose the winner.

  • Dual sim option for flagship model is good move...

  • a 50,000 phone with ips lcd display not even amoled or corning glass disgusting

  • If this is for real..any site where we can pre order?

  • Specs are wrong, there is no 32GB option and it supports far more LTE bands than listed here, total of 9 bands.

  • its dual sim also man .. pls confrm ur knowledge dude .. chak sony,s international site

  • This should have been 2GB RAM coz the more the GB the more the cost. HTC E8 was a boom in the Asia market and broke all records on sales as it was priced in under 35k but I doubt if Z3 would compete with E8

  • Finally!! been stuck with ,my Samsung c6712 since it was first released in hopes for a true all-rounder to emerge , this is it!!!!..I'm getting it.

  • Is it only in India , what about Nigerian market, which time will going to be launch

  • 50,000 something

  • no one is forcing you to buy it >.<

  • What would be the price in India? Any guess?
