A quick reminder on the specifications, the Xperia Z3+ sports a 5.2-inch 1080p display (424 PPI pixel density and screen-to-phone ratio of 70.87%), Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 64-bit chipset, 3GB RAM, 20.7MP Exmor RS rear camera and 5.1MP Exmor R front-facing camera with 25mm wide-angle lens. The rear camera includes the same large 1/ 2.3-inch image sensor found in the Xperia Z3, including an ISO 12800 sensitivity and F 2.0 aperture.
The Xperia Z3+ has IP65/IP68 certification for dust and water resistance, but features a capless USB port which means worrying about your charging flap falling off becomes a thing of the past. Sony maintains that the Xperia Z3+ will have a two-day battery life as seen on the Xperia Z3, despite sporting a lower capacity battery (2930mAh vs 3100mAh).
The Xperia Z3+ has dimensions of 146.3 x 71.9 x 6.9mm and weighs 144 grams. The Xperia Z3+ will launch in four colours (Black, White, Copper and Aqua Green) when it is released globally in June 2015.
