Reception[edit]
Critical reception[edit]
The Xperia Z3 generally received positive reviews, with critics praising its durability, battery life and improved display. Although many critics argued that the Z3 is just a minor upgrade from the Z2 with not much differences.[18] Pocket Lint criticised the device for the tall design and "occasional software excess" but praised its battery life.[19] The Verge praised the design of the device for being attractive yet rugged, built out of better materials than the Galaxy S5, and also waterproof.[20] The Guardian called the device the best smartphone Sony has ever made, with an improvement in feel and design over its predecessor. However, it criticised the Z3 for lack of wireless charging for something waterproof with "fiddly doors" covering the charging port is disappointing, but it has a magnetic charging port for an accessory dock.[21]
