At a press conference held at the ongoing IFA electronics trade show in Berlin, Sony reported a pack of new items over different classifications. One of them was its new Xperia XZ3smartphone, which succeeds the Xperia XZ2 that Launched last year. The organization hasn't reported any detail in it's price yet, but says it's latest flagship smartphone  will be accessible towards the finish of September in selected areas. We figured out how to catch a few hands-on time with the Sony Xperia XZ3 and this is what we think.

Display and Design

The new front design of this smartphone just grabbed our eyes to it firstly. The screen's sides are prominently round in shape, influencing this telephone to feel a considerable measure like the Google Pixel 2 XL (Review) and even the Samsung Galaxy S9+ (Review). Sony has likewise jettisoned its long-standing adoration for IPS panel in favor of an energetic and vibrant OLED panel. The 6-inch screen has a 18:9 aspect ratio and QHD+ resolution with HDR. We found the hues and splendor levels to be very great, in spite of the fact that we couldn't test this telephone outside under daylight.

Mass Deduction

Something else that instantly struck us was the decrease in mass. At 193g, the Xperia XZ3 felt very light contrasted with Sony's ongoing contributions. This phone weighs not as much as the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Premium, and is additionally a considerable measure slimmer at 9.9mm. The glass back makes it very slippery however, and fingerprints were an immense issue. 

Primary Specifications

The primary specifications of the phone are like those of Sony's past flagship. It's fueled by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 mobile platform and has 4GB of RAM and in addition 64GB of inner storage, which can be expanded. It's IP65/68 ensured for residue and water opposition, and features a similar 19-megapixel Motion Eye rear camera that can shoot slow motion video at up to 960fps at 1080p. This worked truly well when we attempted it, yet justifiably, you require abundant light to maintain a strategic distance from a strobing impact in recordings. 

Android Version

The Xperia XZ3 will be shipped with Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box, which makes it one of the first gadgets reported to do as such.

Side Sense

 The new Xperia UI skin is very moderate and we're acquainted with another feature called Side Sense. The upper parts of the sides of the XZ3 have touch sensors, and you can double tap either side of the phone to uncover a little pop-up menu for applications. Sony says that this feature will utilize AI to take in your utilization designs and recommend distinctive applications relying upon your area. You can add applications to this physically as well. It takes some becoming used to, as your finger needs to hit only the correct spot, or it won't work. You can modify the sensitivity of touch recognition if required

Smart Launch

Smart Launch is another intriguing feature. It consequently launches the camera application when the phone identifies that you have lifted it up and are holding it horizontally. This should be kept enable inside the camera application, yet from that point onward, simply lift the phone up as though you will outline a photograph, and the camera application starts up in a matter of seconds.

Camera

We attempted the 19-megapixel camera out, and found that focusing was very fast. There wasn't excessively screen slack either. Be that as it may, the pictures we shot with Sony's demo units didn't appear to be extremely great on screen. In all actuality, the lighting at the scene wasn't extraordinary, yet it wasn't dull either, and after zooming in to the pictures a bit, we saw a watercolor-like effect on a few textures. It's conceivable this could enhance once the Xperia XZ3 really delivers with its last programming. 

The Sony Xperia XZ3 appears as though a gentle invigorate of the Xperia XZ2 in terms of specifications. While we surely value its new outline and OLED display, we can't resist the urge to feel that Sony is a bit past the point where it is possible to the gathering. The Xperia XZ2 presently retails at a ridiculously surprising expense in India, which influences us to think about how Sony will value this new model when it is propelled here. The organization truly needs to begin evaluating its flagship phones more sensibly, or soon Sony endures a comparable destiny as HTC in India.
