The recent release of the iPhone 6 in India may have pulled in a bunch of customers, but at the same time, its high pricing has left a large number of prospective buyers disgruntled - with many not willing to shell out half-a-lakh on it, while others seem to be not so pleased with what it offers at such a high price.
Taking on the largest-ever iPhone, we have a feature-rich yet competitively priced smartphone from the Sony stable that not only offers a rich experience, but also challenges the iPhone 6. The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact comes with a sturdy form factor, impressive battery life, waterproof features, and advanced camera capabilities - enough to make it an iPhone 6 killer.
No matter how good a phone looks if it's not comfortable in your hand, it's a wrong investment. Keeping this in mind, Sony has designed its Xperia Z3 Compact with a slim and light design. The rounded frame makes it a one-handed phone, while the tempered glass panels on both sides not only give it a premium finish but also protect it from accidental bumps and drops.
Adding to its durability is the waterproof and dust-resistant features. The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact has an impressive IP65/68 rating, which means you can take your Xperia Z3 Compact with you wherever you go - whether you are answering a call in the rain or taking pictures in the pool. The iPhone 6, on the other hand, lacks waterproof capabilities and comes in a frame vulnerable to drops and bumps.
Camera on a phone is one of the key features in determining its success. Taking mobile photography to an all new level, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact comes with a Handycam recording technology, and lets you shot in stunning 4K resolution. The 20.7 megapixel with 1/2.3-inch ExmorRS for mobile sensor produces sharp and vivid pictures. The Xperia Z3 Compact is the first phone to come with the highest ISO rating (ISO 12800), taking the low-light photography to a new level.
But what enhances your camera experience is the social camera apps. Understanding the users' needs, Sony has integrated a plethora of such apps in the camera.
Battery on the Xperia Z3 Compact makes it stand apart. Packed with a 2600mAh battery, the monster inside the phone makes the phone last for up to two days. So, you can use the phone throughout the day without worrying about having enough battery for your way back to home - and then go right on using it the next day too. But sometimes, you find yourself running seriously low on battery when you are far away from your charger. In such cases, Sony's Ultra Stamina Mode limits your phone to core functions - like calls and SMS - so you can get every bit of charge from your battery. So,it has ways to help extend your battery life. A fully charged iPhone 6, for a power user, does not lasts for more than 30 hours - nowhere close to the Xperia Z3, in terms of juice the phone gets on a single charge.
What matters the most on a smartphone is how the things appear and look on it. The Sony Xperia Z3 has the brightest display you have ever seen on a Sony smartphone. Viewing on its 4.6-inch HD display is sharp even in bright sunlight. The use of IPS technology adds to the display, thereby offering excellent viewing angles. The Xperia Z3's display shows super sharp images and accurate colours, no matter which angle you're looking at your phone from.
What complements the Xperia Z3's elegant design is the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor beating under its hood. The phone offers a lag-free experience, ensuring multitasking and faster speed.
Sony has also announced the Android 5.0 Lollipop (Google's latest mobile operating system) update for the Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone. The company will start the upgrade process at the beginning of 2015. The Xperia Z3 Compact will be the first of the few Sony smartphones to get the Android Lollipop upgrade.
Sony has engineered a revolution in gaming technology with the addition of PS4 Remote Play on the Xperia Z3 series. users can now use the Xperia Z3 Compact as a remote screen to connect to and control your games on PS4.
Having pitted the Sony Xperia Z3 against the latest Apple iPhone, the former appears to be a clear winner on many fronts. Sony's new compact smartphone not only has advanced capabilities and power-packed performance, but also features a refined design - all this at a highly competitive price.
