Sony z3 compact black. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact review of the smartphone with video and technical characteristics of the phone. Smartphones have one or more front cameras of varying designs - a pop-up camera, a rotating camera, a screen or a door in the display, a front camera

Today's people fall into two categories: one is to break orders great screens, other, memorable commandments of Steve Jobs about the ideal diagonal of a smartphone are important in compact models, pressing phones. At the IFA 2014 exhibition, Sony satisfied everyone's needs. The Japanese showed not only the new flagship Z3, but also a new version of the Z3 Compact, which differs from its “big brother” in size (and in some other ways). Just as you could look at the first one on our website, then we are aware of the others at the same time. Sit tighter!

Video review Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

To get started, take a look at the main features between the Z3 and Z3 Compact. It's not so rich anymore. It’s clear that our today’s hero has shrunk a little from the dimensions (64.9 x 127 x 8.6 mm versus 72 x 146 x 7.3 mm) and vase (129 grams versus 152 grams). Z3 Compact is just a little bit too much, but it’s logical. The battery in the Z3 is installed at 3100 mA per year, and in the Z3 Compact - 2600 mA per year. The first version has 3 GB of RAM, the other is 1 GB less - 2 GB. The smaller diagonal of the Z3 Compact (4.6 inches versus 5.2 inches) has decreased and increased: from Full HD to full HD. That's all. Otherwise, the devices are identical, so you can’t help but be quiet.

External look

Although the Sony Xperia Z3 is similar to the company's previous models, it will be difficult to confuse the device with the solutions of other companies. Ale is better. The design solutions of the Japanese are especially suitable for the remaining few rocks. For example, our version of the smartphone has very thin frames (the top and bottom are also small), so the 4.6-inch screen had to be placed in a body that is much smaller in size than competitors with a similar display diagonal.

Above the screen there is a place for the Sony logo, two sensors (brightness and proximity), the front camera and the speaker. Moreover, the remaining one is his twin brother, who was already hanging out under the display. You yourself understand that stereo sound in any device is always acceptable. Before we speak, about sound. It’s already clear and clean, but at maximum strength (especially good in games), the smartphone starts to feel like it’s in your hands.

Exactly in the center of the right side, the engineers placed the life control key, which is built in the best traditions of Sony - round and silver. On the black color version (also red, light green and white) it looks even more impressive. Below you can find a gauge for adjusting the thickness. It has two features: it is small (on my Lumia 1520 the lock button is the same size) and it is located close to the well-known key of life, so the first few days of the onslaught will not be lost. Ale then calls. The two-position camera button is also the same.

Zliv everything is hidden behind plugs. Only a double connector for connecting to the docking station at the same place. Under the top flap you can see a microUSB connector and a slot for memory cards, and under the bottom flap you can see a tray for SIM cards in Nano format. I’ll be honest, it’s not always easy to open the cap right away to charge your smartphone or transfer any data to your computer. However, there is no risk of security (beyond the IP 65/68 standard). But HTC, as we all know, does not care that the obligatory parameter is disabled. , which is not afraid of water (IPX7), good for that butt.

On the bottom edge of the microphone you can find another place for attaching the strap, and on the top there is an audio output and another microphone. The back panel, like the front panel, is covered with protected glass. There you can find the Sony logo, written “Xperia”, the “N” icon, which indicates the expansion of the NFC chip and, obviously, the main camera and the main camera. The Japanese are already using their camera, they unobtrusively placed the “20.7 MP” icon on them.

Considering the appearance, the fluidity of the folding and the materials of the body of the device can be safely given a solid five. There is nothing to creak or play. One moment – ​​finger tapping. The stench is clearly visible. If you want to solve this problem in just a few seconds, the original server solves it. The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact feels wonderful in your hands. It’s true, I know that after my 6-inch Lumia 1520 the sound was important.

Display

The diagonal of the display and its separate size were immediately obvious to you – 4.6 inches and 1280 x 720 pixels. There was nothing wrong with Sensu in Full HD, and the company did it right, without chasing dry numbers. HD is entirely sufficient for such sizes, so as not to waste too many pixels on the screen - 319 PPI. The control in the mittens is transferred, and at the same time it is increased to 10 torcans.

Looking at the corners, the maximum and minimum brightness, reading the fonts is all excellent. The only thing you can understand is that a small screen (it’s also unfortunate that a 4.6-inch smartphone looks gigantic) means a small keyboard. When typing text, you often press the wrong key. I would have thought that the buttons were on the right, but after an hour of testing I couldn’t get the hang of it.

Camera

The main camera was 20.7 MP, and the front camera was 2.2 MP. In plan software security it’s not good to finish everything (although, as we remember, this was not the case again, the company only made a lasting living out of its remaining devices). There are a lot of modes here. It’s funny only when the maximum brightness (20 MP) can only be selected in manual mode, And in others, 8 MP is used. If we would like to marvel at the truth in the world, for the majority of the poor this will be entirely sufficient. You can also shoot video in 4K and broadcast live on YouTube. Bloggers, rejoice! Yulia shared a report about the capabilities of the camera with her friend.

Ale, as it seems, it’s better to marvel once than to read it at least once (well, I guess so). I would like to give you some notes:

I was completely satisfied with the number of photographs I took. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is the type where 20-megapixel (or even 8-megapixel) brightness is not comparable. It often happens that there are a lot of megapixels, and the photos come out in such a way that you can’t raise your hand on Instagram with one prepayment. But for our guy, everything is wrong. Garn chamber. I’ll tell you that it’s really good.

Characteristics and PZ

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is a true flagship! Here you have a Snapdragon 801 (4 cores Krait 400, 2.5 GHz), 2 GB of RAM (we already mentioned that the Z3 has 3 GB of RAM installed), and an Adreno 330 graphics processor. With games and more The smartphone copes with powerful tasks efficiently. The whole thing is completely appreciated, and even “got in” in tandem with the not-so-high separate cost. Asphalt 8 launches with maximum graphics, and Dead Trigger 2, regardless of the average parameters, does not bother in dynamic scenes (where everything is shaking, and zombies are running at you). In various tests, the smartphone showed itself the same short side: 45 thousand in AnTuTu, 20 thousand in Quadrant and 19 thousand in 3DMark. During the entire hour of testing, I installed without noticing any shortcomings in case of an emergency burnt-out desktop (I want here, sooner, on the right in the correct optimization of the proprietary shell). As an operating system, Android (oh, what a nerd!) version 4.4.4 is discussed here.

As for the memory, there are 16 GB. MicroSD cards up to 128 GB are also supported. And the axis of autonomy has flared up around Rozmov. The Sony smartphone is clearly one of the best performers. On the right is that the manufacturer managed to install a battery with a capacity of 2600 mA year into such a compact case. For example, the battery is also installed in, but there is already Full screen HD. If we talk about the “life” of the Xperia Z3 Compact, then repeat or last two days of use. This is the case in the primary mode, vikoristannya ( social measures, mail, bits of YouTube, calls, reader). If you get all the juice out of your phone (play games, watch movies, etc.), then drain the charge for 10 years. The presets also have a STAMINA mode, which will make the Z3 Compact immortal. For example, with 32 wattage the program takes 7 years autonomous robot, and when energy saving is activated, this indicator increases to such a dreary indicator - 1 additional 16 years!

all technical characteristics look at the axle like this:

  • Dimensions: 64.9 x 127 x 8.6 mm.
  • Vaga: 129 grams.
  • Operating system: Android 4.4.4.
  • Processor: multi-core Snapdragon 801 with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz.
  • Adreno 330 graphics.
  • Display: IPS, 4.6 inches, 1280 x 720 pixels.
  • Memory: 16 GB + microSD slot.
  • RAM: 2 GB.
  • Camera: main – 20.7 MP, front – 2.2 MP.
  • Battery: 2600 mA year.

In the pouch

The position of the phone completely explains its name. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is not a mini version of the Xperia Z3 with simpler characteristics, but simply a compact version. Before us is a real flagship in a small building. There are already few controversial moments. You can only pay attention to the keys on the right side (already close to them) and the prices. If a sum of 490 dollars sounds even more pleasant, then 13 thousand hryvnias or 32 thousand rubles is somehow rich (although the company itself can hardly help buyers here). Otherwise, the smartphone suited me better: a clear camera, Garniy screen, beautiful external appearance, tight “filling” and long time ago living on one charge. How many of you still hear about the flagship device? small screen The Xperia Z3 Compact may not be the only pleasant option.

Detailed testing of the new mini-version of the flagship from the line Sony smartphones Mobile

New line mobile devices Sony Xperia Z3 was presented at the very beginning of autumn at the hour of the world exhibition IFA 2014. In addition, it includes three main top-end devices: the flagship Sony Xperia Z3, its compact version Xperia Z3 Compact, as well as a new eight-inch tablet I'll call it Sony Z3 Tablet. Well, before the flagship device of the new line, the flagship Z3, we have already published a review of it. Now it’s time to look at all the details of this miniature version, which was presented simultaneously with the flagship at the time of the exhibition in Berlin.

The connection with this varto immediately means two points. First of all, the “miniature” Z3 Compact can only be called due to its linear and positional status, established by the creators for this model to upgrade it to a flagship one. The device has dropped the prefix “Compact” from its name, but this does not at all mean that the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone is small. Despite the size and flatter screen (4.6″), it’s a very large smartphone, although you can’t get it up to the “shovel phones”.

Other great moment It seems that the Japanese, having again updated the entire main line of Xperia Z mobile devices, have given all devices that have reached the updated series, serial number 3. Thus, a miniature version Xperia Compact“jumped” one digit in its index, so as not to be differentiated from its line-mates, and there will no longer be a model called Xperia Z2 Compact.

Contents of delivery

The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone has a simple package that has become classic for other products of the Sony mobile line: a flat and square box made of thin varnished cardboard with a cardboard tray and three different sizes of middle, separated by thin partitions.

The contents of the smartphone are quite modest: the box can be found even more compact charger and a free Micro-USB cable, nothing more. Sony has decided not to invest any more headphones in a set of its flagship products, they will be reeking heavily at an exorbitant price, like an additional accessory.

External appearance and handiness of the vikoristan

On the administration page flagship Xperia Z3, changing which in relation to the front may be of a purely cosmetic nature, there is a difference between compact modifications. The new Xperia Z3 Compact has changed not only the hardware platform, but also the most important element - the display, which has a larger diagonal size. With this size, the device was no longer unchanged, but the frames around the screen became narrower, which allowed the same dimensions for the body to accommodate a larger screen behind the flat screen, everything is logical.

What's the fuss? from the outside looking in device, and then change the notes. As for the flagship, everything has over-cut flat surfaces bіchnі edges, since they have now become rounded and receptive to the dock, but have lost these very metals, then the Xperia Z3 Compact has had to change the material of the side frame. Now this one is made not of metal, but of polycarbonate, and it has become such a breakthrough that it has radically changed the status of the device.

Yakshto front Xperia smartphone The Z1 Compact looked and felt like a serious, expensive product, like a miniature version of the flagship, with the same materials, with the same important metal frame, which gave the device brutality, then insightful plastic, let alone The perfect perimeter body of the new Xperia Z3 Compact , such a serious look is simply impossible to give. However, it will simplify and make the device cheaper in appearance, transferring it to the category of youth solutions. Insanely, the variety and vision of plasticity can entirely be captured by the younger generation, but for status, serious speech, such changes in the lips. As a result, if you put the Z1 Compact and Z3 Compact together, they will look like two products of a completely different level, especially the diversity of colors of the rest, which appears, includes greens and carrot-orange broth anti.

However, there is a positive aspect: the pieces of the side frame are now made of polycarbonate material, so that they play the role of such shock absorbers, which, in theory, help the smartphone “survive” after a fall. soti.

The thick plastic frame on the tablet is hard and a little short, so the smartphone can rest securely in your hand, which you can’t pick up. Vzagali, dimensions and communion new Sony The Xperia Z3 Compact is such that the smartphone can be comfortably held in your hand and carried in a container of any size. With the majority of current mobile devices, smartphones can effectively complement compact, but not the latest, solutions on the mobile market.

In contrast to the standard case, the smartphone, like before, is an unassembled candy bar that consists of two glass plates and a wide frame that runs along the entire perimeter. The inconsistency of the case also affects the method of installing cards: the SIM card and memory card are inserted into the main slots; to remove them, you don’t need any clips; it is enough to open the covers to cover the card slots.

The covers on the side frame are made of the same transparent polycarbonate and are provided with rubberized gaskets, since the smartphone, like its predecessors, is provided with maximum protection against water and saw ingress according to the IP 65/68 standard. There are two cracks here, they cover the slots for memory cards and SIM cards, as well as the Micro-USB connector. Before the speech, the changes were made here: now top-end Sony mobile devices are using Nano-SIM cards, obviously with an eye to a painless and possible transition for some business owners Apple iPhone. You decide to go to the call center again and exchange your SIM card for a new one.

There’s one more thing to add, which may please fans of mobile devices of the Japanese brand. Now back surface, like the front one, is made not from plastic, but from steel. Offense skla not toil factory dry spittle The characteristics are similar to those known from Corning Gorilla Glass.

The sound plan also underwent changes. Now there are two horns for sound output from the smartphone, from the bottom of the screen, the role of the horns is played by two symmetrical slits, which appear directly at the edge. A completely logical solution is to increase the dynamics of the “convicts” to the level of corruption, and there are now two speakers themselves.

Another change: previously, the light of the alert indicator would break through the top part of the speaker, and now there is a traditionally rounded round edge. There is an item in the setup menu where you can turn on part of the indicator function, depriving it of notification about the charging status.

There are no hardware buttons at the bottom of the screen, but there are virtual buttons on the screen.

Z functional elements on the back side you can see the end of the chamber and the back of the bed. The beds here are made up of one section and a few minutes away from the chamber. You can use it as a physician, for whom an appropriate program is installed on your smartphone.

There were no regular changes to the mechanical hardware components. The live and block button is located on the right side, as is traditional for remaining smartphones Sony has the appearance of a metal round, the prote in the third series models is somewhat different in appearance. From this you can see the double-header for adjusting the thickness. All the keys are great, they are easy to get wet, they have an impressive springy action, there are no complaints about this plan.

At the bottom of the right side you can see a hardware key for using the camera, behind which the smartphone can be used to take it under water, although the screen at this time becomes insensitive to the point of clicks. The ability to take water underwater is a trademark feature of Sony mobile devices that is constantly featured in advertising and on posters.

Don’t forget a special connector with a hidden pair of contacts to insert your smartphone into the docking station. The socket is universal: most current Sony devices, including tablets, can be installed in the same docking station, which can be purchased separately.

The audio jack for headphones (3.5 mm) is located here, and is not covered with hard plugs. Tim is no less guilty of thefts due to water getting into the middle of the hull. At the bottom end you can add a microphone opening - a universal Micro-USB connector that supports connection external devices in OTG mode, place it under the cover on the left side. To fully charge, you will have to open the cover right away - or quickly use the docking station, which will soak in water.

And at the bottom end there is another opening - the traditional fastening for the strap, which is found in all Sony smartphones, and even Skoda, which other manufacturers do not need this brown element.

The color scheme of the hulls of the new mini-flagship has seen significant changes. The smartphone is presented not only in the traditional black and white, but also in the completely unsatisfactory bright orange-green and carrot-orange colors, which at the same time with transparent plastic are clearly designed to win the interest of a young audience.

Screen

The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone has an IPS touch matrix. The dimensions of the folded screen are 57×101 mm, the diagonal is 4.6 inches, the split size is 1280×720 pixels. The pixel density here is set to 319 ppi, which in today’s world is not so rich. The robbers themselves are called Danish type Triluminos display. Naturally, this is the company’s software technology for enhancing X-Reality images for mobile devices.

The screens are covered with a dry glass without a factory dry coating - Sony decided to get rid of it. The thickness of the frames from the edge of the screen to the edge of the body should be approximately 3 mm - narrower frames.

The brightness of the display can be adjusted manually, or it can be adjusted automatically. Multi-touch technology allows you to process up to 10 one-hour dots. The display is supported by sterilization with mittens, as well as with wet fingers. When you bring your smartphone close to your ear, the screen is blocked using a proximity sensor.

A detailed examination of the prevailing trends of the regions is provided by the editor of the sections “Monitory” and “Projectors and TB” Oleksiy Kudryavtsev. Let's bring this expert thought about the screen of the monitored image.

The front surface of the screen has the appearance of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to smudges. Judging by the display of anti-violence targets, the screen is no thicker than the screen of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, let’s take a photograph in which the white surface is displayed on the darkened screens of both devices (Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, as it is not important to note, on the right, then they can be separated by size):

It’s a shame that the screens are dark, but the Sony screen is still dark (its photo brightness is comparable to 119 versus 122 for the Nexus 7). Triple of damaged objects Sony screens The Xperia Z3 Compact is even weaker, which means that there is no glass gap between the outer glass (there is a dot sensor) and the surface of the matrix (an OGS - One Glass Solution type screen). For the use of a smaller number of cordons (type of crack-surface) with a high degree of fracture coefficients, such screens look better in case of strong external exposure, but their repair in case of a cracked external surface can be avoided This is more expensive, since you have to replace the whole screen. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (fat-resistant) coating (even more effective, similar to the Nexus 7), so fingerprints come off much easier, and appear with less fluidity, lower Kuzvichaynogo warehouse.

With manual bathing, the maximum value was close to 530 cd/m2, and the minimum was 3.5 cd/m2. The maximum values ​​are high, and, due to the good anti-glare power, the images on the screen will be clearly visible in bright daylight. In the dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. Pratsyuє automatic regulation brightness according to the brightness sensor (located at the top left panel on the front panel). In automatic mode, when changing the external brightness settings, the brightness of the screen moves up and down. The operation of this function depends on the brightness control position. If it is at maximum, then with the new dark function the auto-brightness changes the brightness to 100 cd/m² (more than that), in a light-lit office (approximately 400 lux) it is set to 200 k d/m² (normal), even brighter (indicates the brightness of the posture on a clear day, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more) moves up to 450 cd/m² (enough). If the brightness level is at half the scale (it is even more non-linear - after 50% the brightness sharply decreases with higher values), then the screen brightness for the three minds set above is: 50, 25 and 450 cd/m² (standard values). The brightness control is set to a minimum – 4.5, 40, 450 cd/m². As a result, the auto brightness adjustment function works absolutely adequately. Regardless of the brightness, there is no significant modulation of the backlight, and there is no mesh screen.

On which screen is the matrix displayed? IPS type. Microphotographs demonstrate a typical IPS subpixel structure:

To clarify, you can familiarize yourself with the gallery of microphotographs of screens that are available from mobile equipment.

The screen can be viewed well without inverting the colors and without a significant change in colors, so it’s great to look at it from a perpendicular angle to the screen. For the sake of balance, we show photographs on which the screens of the Nexus 7 and Sony Xperia Z3 Compact display new images, with the brightness of the screens initially set to approximately 200 cd/m² (white field on the entire screen), and the color balance on the camera Primus switches to 6500 Perpendicular to the screen area in the white field:

The uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field is significant. 1st test picture:

The colors on the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact screen are oversaturated, the flesh tones are severely damaged in the red area, and the color balance is skewed beyond the standard. Now it is approximately 45 degrees below the surface and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens, but on the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact the contrast has changed most importantly due to the strong highlighting of blacks. I white field:

The brightness under both screens has noticeably changed (at least 4 times, based on the difference in the window), and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact has a smaller drop in brightness (brightness for photos 232 vs. 2 14 for Nexus 7). With this, the tone of the color changed slightly. The black field, when drawn diagonally, lights up strongly and takes on a purple or dark-violet tint. The photographs below do not demonstrate the brightness of the white plots perpendicular to the plane of the screens, however!:

And under another cut:

When viewed perpendicularly, the uniformity of the black field is average, since along the edge there are plots with a small amount of increased brightness:

The contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is high – close to 900:1. The hour of play during the black-white-black transition is 32 ms (18 ms on + 14 ms on). The transition between gray tones 25% and 75% (for numerical color values) and back takes 46 ms. Based on 32 points at equal intervals for numerical values, the shade of the gray gamma curve did not show a collapse in either the light or the shadows, and the indicator of the approximated static function of 2.48 was higher than the standard value 2.2, at which the gamma curve is real strongly weakened by the stagnant position:

The smartphone has a dynamic (and does not turn off!) adjustment of the brightness of the backlight depending on the nature of the image that is displayed. The general trend is that in dark images the brightness decreases, but the algorithm is complex, and the result is that the brightness periodically jumps, and the change in brightness in dark images reduces the difference in gradation For the minds of the outer world. Then the cost of this function is zero, no harm. As a result, a number of tests - increasing contrast and highlighting, equalizing black and black highlights - were carried out while displaying special patterns with an invariably average brightness, rather than monochromatic fields on the entire screen. Obviously, the amount of brightness in the shade (gamma curve) was removed, which does not reflect the gamma curves of a static image, since the fading was carried out with the sequential display of shades of gray on the entire screen.

The color palette is noticeably wider than sRGB:

Marvel at the spectrum:

The stench is no longer typical. As they write on the Sony website, in which screen there are vicorized LEDs with a blue vibrating and green and red phosphor (refer to the blue vibrating and yellow phosphors), and in the current special light filters of the matrix and allows you to capture a wide color range. Unfortunately, as a result, the color of images - babies, photographs and films - oriented towards the sRGB space (and most of them are important) can become unnaturally crowded. It is especially noticeable on visible shades, for example, on shades of skin. The result is shown in the photograph.

The balance of shades on the gray scale is not ideal, since the color temperature of the material is beyond the standard 6500 K. However, the difference in the spectrum of an absolutely black body (ΔE) is less than 10, which is considered a pleasant indicator for a living device. In this case, the variation in color temperature and E is small, which has a positive effect on the visual impact of color balance. (The darker areas of the gray scale may not be correct, since the balance of colors there is not of great importance, and the loss of fade of color characteristics at low brightness is great.)

This smartphone has the ability to create a color balance by adjusting the intensities of the three main colors.

What we tried to earn, the result is tributes, signatures Cor. on the graphs more. As a result, we changed ΔE a little and set the white point to 6500 K (and also greatly changed the brightness):

However, this correction did not change the oversaturation of colors. If you still can’t brighten up the image on the screen of your smartphone, you can turn on the firmware mode X-Reality for mobile. The hover result is below:

The saturation and contour sharpness of the program moves forward, and there are fewer noticeable gradations of shades in the area of ​​intense colors. Well, the picture became so bright. This is the “borderline brightness” mode, in which the color contrast moves even more:

І alternately (if you have scripts enabled) all three modes on a gradient:

Included:

Let's bring the pouches. The range of brightness control on this screen is wide, and everything is in order with anti-glare, which allows you to comfortably use your smartphone both on a sunny day on the street and in the dark. It is possible to select a mode with automatic brightness adjustments, which works absolutely adequately. The advantages also include the effective oleophobic coating, the absence of a barrier and a non-woven space around the screen. To a limited extent, there is a strong highlighting of the black color with a sophisticated view from perpendicular to the surface of the screen and an aggressive dynamic adjustment of brightness. With the transferred colors, not everything is in order, because the colors are oversaturated (skin shades especially suffer) and the color temperature is high. The presence of consistent adjustments allows you to adjust the balance almost to the ideal, but for the sake of a change in brightness. Due to the importance of the characteristics of this class of devices (and most importantly, the importance of information among a wide range of modern minds), the screen brightness can be set to high.

As much as I was pleased with the improvement in the sound of the flagship Sony Xperia Z3, the sound of the compact version, with two stereo speakers, was incredibly lost. Low frequencies, although the speakers sound somewhat muffled, do not match the purity of the sound, nor the depth, and at the maximum level of volume they wheeze. In the case of a louder speaker, the dynamics of the speaker, intonation and timbre become less noticeable, and they also sound muffled.

Internal lining and sound lining have become unchanged. To play music tracks in the device, use your branded Walkman player. The standard audio player is rich in customized and additional sound enhancement programs, such as an equalizer with a lot of settings (you can set your own), Clear Phase, xLoud technologies and virtual sound volume. Most settings are available when the complex ClearAudio+ function is disabled, otherwise all settings are purchased by the machine. This means that in the new “compact”, as well as in the new flagship, Sony’s proprietary digital noise reduction technology is implemented. Retailers say that using a special headset MDR-NC31EM the level of external noise can be reduced by 98%.

FM radio as standard equipment of the smartphone. Traditionally, it works like an antenna with connected headphones and does not have the ability to record programs. There was no voice recorder included in the standard configuration of the smartphone, as, before speech, and mainly Xperia versions Z3.

Camera

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is equipped with these two modules digital cameras with separate 20.7 and 2.2 megapixels, which were equipped with the front flagships and which are now installed in the Xperia Z3. The hardware base here is the same, adding only software effects. The main 20.7-megapixel camera is equipped with a G Lens series lens with a 27 mm focal length and F2.0 aperture. The camera has a 1/2.3-inch Exmor RS for mobile sensor and a Bionz for mobile processor.

As a standard, the cameras of all Sony devices operate in the so-called super auto mode (iauto) with wide-screen displays, or you can switch the camera to manual adjustment mode. It is noticeable that when the hardware button on the device is pressed, the camera is quickly closed, and then activated in the automatic capture mode, which is then activated before the shutdown mode. manual adjustment. If you launch the camera add-on from the desktop or from the program menu, then everything goes as before, and the camera does not need to be adjusted in advance, so it starts in manual mode, as it was previously set. Please note that there is a big difference between automatic and manual modes, since the maximum separation can only be set in manual control mode. When taken in the automatic mode, which is set to settings, the photos come out with a size of 3840 × 2160 (8 MP), and in manual mode, the maximum possible size is 20.7 MP (5248 × 3936).

The camera can record video in separate 1080p and UHD (4K) formats, but it is also possible to record in any mode - 1080p at 60 frames per second. The butt of such a video is pointed lower.

  • Video No. 1 (85 MB, 1920×1080, 60 fps)

The uniform sharpness across the entire field of the frame is good, with just a little bit falling off at the edges.

A few sparse leaves appear in the distance.

Near the leaf, the camera works well; it is possible to identify areas of unevenness.

Good job with shadows and noises in them.

In all practical applications, sharpness is good.

Poor dynamic range - the camera produces shadows.

On darts you can experience light sharpening.

The text is good, but the sharpness drops a little to the bottom of the frame.

Sleeping practically won’t improve the situation.

The camera can't cope with macro photography without a sleeping bag.

And after all, I slept a little, and it helps with macrobiosis.

Lighting ≈3200 lux. The camera copes well.

Lighting ≈1400 lux. The situation is not changing.

Lighting ≈130 lux. Noises, as before, do not catch your eye.

Lighting ≈130 lux, sleeping. Sleeping hardly helps.

The compact model was able to rehabilitate its older brother with a camera. The Z3 Compact's camera isn't perfect. More precisely, it is not yet ideal. It’s clear that she’s been well-trained. In some places you can see some unpleasant moments that are clearly visible in the Z3, but the camera is already ready for use.

However, it’s not surprising that the Z3 Compact module is installed as a sub-mounted version of the Z3. In this case, the Z1 Compact and Z2 modules are already guessing. This kind of poaching can be made according to the size of the photo. On the other hand, it is not turned off that all other flagships have the same modules, so the size of the total 20 MP image does not vary. And in the Superior Auto mode, only the Z3 was visible in the photo size, it can be assumed that all the flagships, starting with the Z1 Compact, run on the same programs with small changes, and the Z3 is especially to blame for them To tease (and leave this program for the rest of the world) they didn't bother). However, all these assumptions are often confirmed by the schedule.

The camera itself copes really well, which is completely appreciated. This curve for graphics resolution is perhaps ideal. And if you want to create a little more than 0.1 lines per pixel from the leader, the depth is perhaps a constant, so we can talk about good work in different minds. Paul’s photographs do not confirm this, although I would like to be aware of their appearance, but so far. As you might have already guessed, the moonlight of Z3 is present here, but the expressions are much weaker. You may notice ice sharpening, where small areas of unsharpness appear, and over sheets in the distance the program does not run very smoothly. Then there is almost daily noticeable noise, and no matter how many significant problems the camera behind the great arch does not cause. So, as before, it is a good choice for capturing different subjects.

Telephone and communication

The smartphone operates as standard on current 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks, as well as support for fourth-generation networks (LTE), which are deployed in Russia. In practice, with a SIM card from the domestic operator MTS, the smartphone effectively recognizes and operates with 4G networks. The capabilities of the smartphone are great, in line with the top-end: support for the 5 GHz Wi-Fi range, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Display, as standard, you can set up a drone-free access point via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth channels. The mode for connecting external devices (USB Host, USB OTG) is supported, so you can connect flash drives and bears with keyboards to the Micro-USB port. The navigation module works both with GPS and with the advanced Glonass system.

The testing did not prevent any minor re-engagement/disruption within an hour, as well as a malfunction or a frozen system. Whenever you bring your smartphone close to your ear, the screen is blocked by a proximity sensor. The LED indicator at the top of the front panel serves to notify you about the charging status and inputs.

There is no visible top row with numbers on the standard keyboard - you need to change the layout immediately. The layout itself and the arrangement of the keys are standard: to change the main layout, you just need to press the button with the corresponding icon. The phone program supports Smart Dial, so that when you dial a phone number, it automatically searches for the first characters in your contacts. You can easily move the keyboard closer to one side so that you can easily reach it with the fingers of one hand. Of course, we are also looking forward to the possibility of seamlessly inserting a finger from letter to letter - Swype.

OS and software

As an operating system, the latest version of the Google Android 4.4.4 KitKat software platform is used, on top of which is a traditional proprietary graphical interface. The internal lining of the shell, all menus, customization items and contextual submenus that can be merged - everything has been lost. However, the call of the obolonka recognized significant extinctions. Previously, elements of the Sony graphical interface were marked differently. Now, of course, all the elements on the screen, and most importantly the add-on icons themselves, began to look much larger and clearer. The fonts have become larger, and such rapt transformations have become even worse for the smartphone. And the mensh are rushing at the vichi, but at the singer’s senses, the coronary is additionally examined. For example, the menu has added a function to restart the device, even though many Sony smartphones lacked such functionality.

New Sony mobile devices have tight integration with the Sony PlayStation 4 game console. While this is already the case, smartphones of the new Xperia Z3 line or the Xperia Z3 Tablet can play the role of a “portable screen”, that’s all what appears begins to appear on the mobile screen. annex. This is handy if, for example, you need to turn off the TV if one of the family members wants to watch some program. For such a Sony device, there will be a special mount that will allow you to connect a smartphone or tablet to the joystick of a game console. This mode is called PS4 Remote Play.

Productivity

The hardware platform of the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact will be based on a single-chip system (SoC) Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 with Krait 400 cores, like the flagship Xperia Z3 (the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact was based on Qualcomm Snap). Here, the maximum frequency of the processor cores is 2.5 GHz, which is why the current version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974AC) is being tested.

Graphics processing here is handled by the same Adreno 330 video processor. About 11 out of 16 GB are available for the storage needs of the device. The smartphone's RAM capacity is 2 GB, and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact unsurprisingly ranks as the company's flagship, which has as many as three gigabytes of RAM. MicroSD memory cards for this model are supported with a capacity of up to 128 GB, and you can also connect external flash drives, keyboards and bears to the Micro-USB port using a special adapter in OTG mode.

To eliminate statements about the productivity of the smartphone platform, we will conduct a standard set of tests.

All the results that we collected when testing the smartphone using the latest versions of popular benchmarks were compiled into a table for ease of reference. The table contains a number of other devices from different segments, also tested on similar versions of benchmarks (be careful not to make a preliminary assessment of the dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of one level it is not possible to reveal the results from different versions of benchmarks, so “behind the scenes” they will be deprived of a lot of current and current models - through those that at one time were “slowly recoded” on the latest versions of test programs.

Testing in MobileXPRT, as well as in other versions of AnTuTu and GeekBench 3:

In the AnTuTu test, the smartphone shows even high numbers, but now a new, fifth version of the popular benchmark is being tested, and all previous models were tested in the fourth version. The resulting figures have increased greatly, so it is not easy to directly compare such results. (We indicate in the tables which versions of the benchmark were tested on each model, until there are enough models tested in the fifth version of the test again.) By any chance, all top smartphones that are based on Snapdragon 8 01 - tse Mobile devices are as efficient and productive as possible today, and the same forces are still needed to complete any tasks.

When tested in 3DMark for the most productive smartphones, it is now possible to run the program in Unlimited mode, while the rendering speed is fixed at 720p and VSync is enabled (through which the speed can go up to 60 fps ).

Results of testing the graphics subsystem in the Epic Citadel gaming test, as well as Basemark X and Bonsai Benchmark:

Browser cross-platform tests:

Since there are no benchmarks for assessing the speed of the javascript engine, you should always pay attention to the fact that the results in them are completely dependent on the browser in which they are launched, so that the comparison can be correct only on the same OS and browsers. feasibility is not tested when tested first For Android users, we must always use Google Chrome.

Created video

To test the “university” of the created video (including support for different codecs, containers and special capabilities, such as subtitles), we have selected the widest possible formats, which will form the bulk of the content that is included in i. Please note that for mobile devices it is important to support hardware decoding of video clips on the same chip, since it is often impossible to obtain current options for devices without processor cores. It’s also not possible to decode everything from a mobile device, since the leadership in flexibility lies with the PC, and no one is going to disgrace it.

According to the test results, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone was not equipped with the necessary decoders necessary for the effective creation of the largest number of files. For their successful development, you will need to seek the help of a third-party programmer - for example, MX Player. True, you will soon have to change the settings by switching from hardware decoding to the program or a new mode called Hardware+(Not all smartphones are supported), only sound will appear. All results are summarized in a table.

Format Container, video, sound MX Video Player Standard video player
DVDRip AVI, XviD 720×400 2200 Kbit/s, MP3+AC3 pretends to be normal pretends to be normal
Web-DL SD AVI, XviD 720×400 1400 Kbit/s, MP3+AC3 pretends to be normal pretends to be normal
Web-DL HD MKV, H.264 1280×720 3000 Kbps, AC3 Hardware+
BDRip 720p MKV, H.264 1280×720 4000 Kbps, AC3 appears normally with the decoder Hardware+ The video appears normally, there is no sound
BDRip 1080p MKV, H.264 1920×1080 8000 Kbps, AC3 appears normally with the decoder Hardware+ The video appears normally, there is no sound

¹ the sound of MX Video Player was only released after switching to the decoding program or to a new mode Hardware+; The standard player does not have such adjustments

The MHL interface has been additionally tested. For this test we vikorized the monitor ViewSonic VX2363Smhl, which supports direct MHL connection (for version 2.0) using an additional passive adapter cable from Micro-USB to HDMI. In this case, the MHL version was produced in a separate frame of 1920 by 1080 pixels at a frequency of 60 frames/s. Regardless of the actual orientation of the smartphone, the image displayed on the screen of the smartphone and monitor will only work in landscape orientation with the connector on the smartphone facing down.

In this case, the images on the monitor are exactly included in the interim areas of the image (don’t forget to set the settings Image size by 100%) and one by one repeats the images on the smartphone screen with the interpolation option from 1280 by 720 to 1920 by 1080 pixels.

When MHL is connected, the list of options appears with an access icon to set up MHL and an icon for launching several selected programs:

Traditionally, with Sony MHL connections, the smartphone can act as a remote control for the TV, since the other one supports this function.

Sound via MHL is output (in case the sounds are clear through the headphones connected to the monitor, while there is no sound on the monitor itself) and there is good clarity. In this case, sounds are not output through the smartphone’s speaker, and the volume cannot be adjusted using the buttons on the smartphone’s body, but rather becomes muted. In our version, the smartphone is connected to the MHL adapter, so you can judge from the charge indicator that it is charging.

Next to the next set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle, we will move one section behind the scenes (section “Method for testing devices created and displaying a video signal. Version 1 (for mobile devices)”), we have verified how the video is displayed on the screen of the smartphone itself. Taking pictures of the screen with a 1 second window helped to determine the nature of the display of frames of video files with different parameters: the separation was varied 1280 by 720 (720p), 1920 by 1080 (1080p) and 3840 by 216 0 (4K) pixels 4, 0 2 and 60 fps . In our tests, we used the MX Player video player in the “Hardware” mode. The results of this (block under the name “Smartphone Screen”) and the current test are summarized in a table:

neither 720/50p good neither 720/30p good neither 720/25p good neither 720/24p good neither

Note: In both cases Evennessі Crossroads green ratings are given, which means that, most of all, when watching films, artifacts appear due to uneven writing and skipping frames, or they will not be visible at all, or their volume and visibility Let’s take a look at the comfort. The red icons indicate possible problems associated with the created files.

Based on the criterion for displaying frames, the availability of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, and several frames (or groups of frames) can be displayed at more or less equal intervals and without overflowing frames. The brightness range is the same as the standard range 16-235, in the shadows of all the darkest shades do not fade away from the brightness of the black color, but in the light colors everything appears and gradations of shades. When you create video files from a separate 720p (1280 by 720 pixels) video file, the images in the video file are displayed exactly between the screens in the output separate video.

With a monitor connected via MHL, an exact copy of the smartphone screen is displayed on the monitor during the hour the video is created, and then again it works in the same separate Full HD format for 1080p files.

The range of brightness that is displayed on the monitor is higher than the standard range of 16-235, in the shadows again, a couple of darker shades do not differ in brightness from the black color In this case, all gradations of shades are displayed. The results of the monitor display tests are shown in the table next to the “MHL (monitor display)” block. The vibrancy is good.

The standard version is that MHL connections can be used for gaming, watching movies, viewing web pages and other types of activities that benefit from a larger screen size.

Continuous reading with the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) at a minimum comfortable level of brightness (brightness was set to 100 cd/m²) it took 22 years until the battery was fully discharged, and with continuous viewing Video from YouTube at high viscosity (HQ) And let’s be honest, the device was washed for 10 years through a home Wi-Fi network. In 3D gaming mode, the smartphone lasted for about 5 years. The smartphone charges quickly, the hour of recharging does not exceed 3 years.

Pouch

Sony Mobile has released a lot of criticism for the overall characteristics of a compact smartphone. Uninterrupted viscosity, body materials, high productivity and maximum autonomy, comfortable dimensions and compact ergonomics are the strengths of the new product, which it has adopted from its front Sklo, for example). However, the camera and screen brightness may be subject to criticism, as they compare them with the products of other market leaders, but in general they do not correspond to the high level of the smartphone. We were greatly impressed by the rapt transition in the metal frame, as a visual basis, which gives the smartphone the status of an expensive speech, to the clear, cheerful plastic plastic, or perhaps, in a fit of richness, because the ergonomics did not suffer. The announcement of the device, which the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact will be officially presented in our stores, was announced literally for days: the smartphone on the Russian market is sold at a price of 24 thousand rubles. The start of sales was scheduled for the 19th of April, so at the time of publication this article was not subject to any discord. At the same time, the flagship Xperia Z3 showed up in stores, the recommended price was 30 thousand rubles. Please note that the flagship will have a variant with two SIM cards at a price of 31 thousand rubles, and the Z3 Compact will not support two SIM cards.

Nevidomy

Pros

A lot of necessary and no longer functions, the functionality is already pushed through, an easy intuitive menu, the device is 5+, it’s not like it’s folded and, as was explained, there is a constant presence of dealer support

Minuses

Behind the work of servicemen, not only these workshops repaired equipment - parts of the furnace through the factory gate or when they added it under the guise of a new repair equipment, like the great "grids"

Vrazhennya

"Compact Z-3" - a new "droplet" - added 01.12.14, and already on 01.18.15 the screen became sticky from here and dark appeared all over the screen on the side, the sensor did not work properly, and after that, like a phone apparently, having tormented the fact that maybe two people are still alive in their lives (making videos, seeing sounds, taking photographs, turning on the alarm clock, at which point the screen became “wilted” and due to problems with the sensor it was impossible to vibrate) and it was recharged/re-engaged The touch screen is requested, even if it is dark and has a screen that comes from one corner of the body. And all this is due to the fact that we purchased the new device from “Zvyazkovoy”. Naturally, for the guarantee of used buildings at the Sony dealership center in Moscow, we rely on those that Sony owns, the support of the “finisher”, etc., such as brightness control, etc., and in the results after 30 days of trying there, instead of repairs, the original was removed, not from the manufacturer, but from a third-party company, in which “a type of independent examination was carried out” (for such a “mastodon” as “Sony” appears in Russia There is no its expert installation): it is under repair, it is damaged due to water ingress in the middle, there is a lot of dirt and poor use, although it was pasted over when purchased at the Svyaznoy office with spittle on both sides for 2 plus rubles, What is the guarantee of okrema from the device from "Zvyazny" and was constantly in the cold, they did not throw the device in the water and did not walk with it (winter, operation is difficult, girl) - it was sent to an independent mine with a great reputation, it will be opened by us yy. verdict: at the dealership center there is no trace of water in the middle of the device, a factory defect. The result is a repair costing 14.5 thousand rubles. and loss of waterproofing function as a negative “bonus”, because Changed touch screen at the collection. Yak was explained in the Maystern-Bagato at a throat of such a genus, often the vipades of sales from the FIRMOVIKH Merevichi centers (M-Video, Zv'yazkovy, єvrmerezha) of repairing Aparativ PID with a vision of the new Abo Aparativ, yak at the nachu vipad. After finding out from two people I know, who bought the same equipment, there were similar problems, although there were no such problems with the Z-1, they took it under water to the sea - and everything is ok and not just for me. Since then, this long-suffering “Z-3 compact” has been working hard and not glitching. Verdict - dealer service, regardless of the high price of the gadget, is simply everyday, the manufacturer does not bear any responsibility for its commitment to the buyer. If you want to look after your meats, the device has a soft surface, is inserted, and has a lot of functions. “Ogrizki” are so vikoristic that the 4th, or 5th, several times, having dropped just a few panels, the bottles were broken, dropped in the bathtub, after drying, it was resurrected, once, pouring hot water over the 4th, and then approximately After two years, the home button became glitchy - I had to fix it for 1.5 rubles.

What about the korisny vodguk?

Salmin Ivan

Pros

The vigor of the collection.

Shvidkist.

Possibility of increased memory.

Sloping on both sides.

Waterproof.

Minuses

The most obvious problem is with the short-range discharge.

Vrazhennya

After Lumia 925, the feedback is often positive. I will no longer turn back to the wretched WP policeman, having gone through 2 rocks with him. Ale and Sony gave me a surprise with a minus sign.

After a month, the phone will begin to discharge quickly (about 7 years) in all modes, in active, in “sleeping” mode and stay warm. In search of the cause of this accident, we searched all over the Internet, trying to find out everything we could, leaving our phone number several times. before factory settings, flashing several times via cable, through the Sony utility. I brought it to the service station, removing the working device after 2 steps. When asked: “What did you spend?” - having withdrawn the answer: “We asked again.” I rejoiced at the fact that they didn’t sort it out, but only a little bit of insight from the story, because. Having flashed the yoga myself 2 times.

It doesn’t matter, now the phone is trimming the charge by about 2 dB in medium use mode (running for 3 hours a day, a little on the Internet) and loses about 20-30%. Satisfied like an elephant. So, having already bought a dry slope on the front and back, I still love the tactile feel of the slope and a couple of wires for magnetic charging, so as not to bother with plugs.

What about the korisny vodguk?

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, which replaces the compact version of the Z1 (and at the same time the Z2), actually does not have innovative characteristics, but does not perform as quickly as it does, but rather brilliantly. You can also save the charge, capture clearer video and make it compact for your diagonal.

Packaging, complete set

The device is supplied in a white matte box. There is a lot of stuff there: a charger, a customer service book, a USB cable and a warranty card.

Design

The smartphone continues the design solutions of the Z-series. Once upon a time, rye (more like coral) and green (similar to mint) were added to the black and white casings.

The body of the phone is straight, the sides are slightly rounded for ease of handling. The entire front panel is covered with a rusty Dragon Trail rock. Above the screen there are large sensors and a light-emitting diode (indicated not by the speakers, but by the attached “light bulb”), in the middle is one of the stereo speakers, and on the right hand is the front camera lens. There is another stereo speaker under the screen.

On the side of the right hand there is a round aluminum life key, below it (right in the middle) there is a tension adjustment, and below there is a camera.

At the top there is a micro-USB socket and under a thick flap there is a slot for a micro SD memory card, the lower one is a slot for a docking station, and even lower is a nano-SIM slot with its own flap. The card can be inserted and folded by simply touching the “bed” with a nail.

At the top end there is a socket for headphones, at the bottom there is a microphone and a hole for a lanyard.

The back panel is also covered with Dragon trail chips. At the top is the head camera lens (aligned with the body), there is a short description of the LED light, at the bottom is the NFC icon, below it is the Sony logo, and even lower is XPERIA. There is no access to the battery.

Display

The smartphone has a 4.6-inch IPS display with Triluminos Display technology and a separate 1280x720 pixels. Trokhi’s bachiti has a flagship not Full HD display, Ale Logika Sony Sony is able to - Men Rozdilna Building - more than the processor of the processor in the rehabilitz - Mensha stained -up Acumulator - Shrone, the main model of the Z3.

I’ll take a good look at the excellent transmission of colors – these are now essential characteristics of modern screens. How can it be brighter? It appears - it is possible! First of all, the phone has a Live Color LED for natural color reproduction (130% sRGB palette coverage). Otherwise, in the “Display” section there is an item “Image enhancement”, where there are two options: X-Reality for mobile, as stated in the description, increases the brightness and clarity of the image, and the edge mode does not need to be described. The picture on the display is effectively displayed, and in some cases it will be displayed in advance.

For the display, you can select the white balance, since other settings may not be adjusted.

The display is illuminated bright and clear. Minimal level can be found on everyday vikoristan.

Unfortunately, the “gloves” function is already important for Sony.

Interface

The device uses the traditional corporate interface and runs under the current version of Android 4.4.4.

Tabs for quick settings and notifications are labeled with labels rather than small icons. The main work table can be either basic or corporate, but ultimately it is a matrix of large tiles.

Productivity

A processor with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz and 2 GB of VP give the 2014 edition phone almost unlimited capabilities.

Currently, approximately 11 GB of memory are available. The phone does not have the option to select memory for storage, but there is also the ability to transfer data (only videos, music and photos) to an SD card by selecting the desired item from the “Memory” setup menu.

The intensity of music creation is high.

Camera

Golovna 20.7-MP Camera with autofocus that IMPULSNY SVITLODIOD SPALICH RESPLICH WITH THE MASICS for Being MELLESS, TO THE ISO TIMKU (sensitivity up to 12 800 lord ISO, Matrix Exmos RS 1/2.3).

The list of all available functions appears after pressing the icon under the capture keys. There are more than 10 installed versions, and you can download new ones. Most of them are known from the latest models:

Manual option (depending on the photo size to ISO sensitivity and white balance);

Super automatic mode (minimum settings, capture with 8 MP);

Rozfocusing;

Panorama (looks good in the three-handed hands of any kind of curvature);

Timeshift burst (selecting the shortest image from a series before and after pressing the shutter);

Artistic effect;

AR Effect (loan for the participation of painted objects and characters);

Timeshift video (capture with a high frame rate and increase);

Intensification of photographs to social media. measures and Evernote.

Among the new versions are Sound Photo (photos with sound), AR rozvagi (newly painted objects), multi-camera (capturing multiple devices from different points), with images (inserting images in pictures).

Photos and videos with effects are saved in a subfolder in the middle of the DCIM/Xperia folder: TIMESHIFT_VIDEO, AR_EFFECT, etc.

Video recording is carried out with a maximum resolution of 4K - 3840x2160 pixels, as indicated in this option. Before I start recording, the phone is honestly ahead of schedule, so it can freeze if it overheats. Khvilina takes about 400 MB of memory, so the standard 1080p is 120-130. The vibrancy of the videos allows them to be displayed on a large diagonal TV screen.

Droneless interfaces

The smartphone probably has all the modern interfaces.

Autonomous robot

In the active operation mode (continuous 3G synchronization, 1 year of Internet and igor, perfect balance, energy saving modes) the phone was discharged in 8 years 40 hours. This is lower than the average value of the market and approximately equal to the whole working day. If you use it less intensively, you can extend it to 2 days, and including the Internet for consumption - even 3-4 days.

The movie can be watched for approximately 9 years. Discharging the battery from 10% to 0 is achieved with the same speed and higher performance.

Everything depends on the vikoristan regime. To extend the hour of operation, a number of charge saving modes have been transferred.

STAMINA is a standard mode for Sony phones, here you can also select a program that is allowed to work in the wake-up mode, and turn on battery saving, as the phone is often abused like a dead man.

The most economical option is Ultra STAMINA (other Z-smartphones did not have this), it turns on all the others and takes about 15 seconds to activate. After which you will find yourself on a changed work table, and your adjustments will be curtailed. Bluetooth and basic functions will no longer be available.

Video review of the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone

The compact version of the flagship smartphone Sony Xperia Z3 is the most popular, but not the older brother, and should be considered as a purchase in the event that you do not need a device with a large display.

Design, construction

I took away my smartphone just before the spring trip to Munich, went with a friend to a classic road - marvel at the black tea, drink Christmas beer (just as Oktoberfest began), buy an iPhone 6, have a delicious meal at a cafe, market and crash home. Having taken the Z3 Compact with me, I was thinking of controlling the broadcast on YouTube, as a result, I had no energy in the evening, and the video was broken - but you have to know that the smartphone supports such an option, even if it does not accept it. And for the entire hour of driving, the Z3 Compact kept my friend calm, even though he was pleased, constantly asking him to marvel, to twirl it in his hands, to know what the functions and features are.




I wish I had an iPhone 6, they waited for a long time. What's next to a small Android smartphone? Well, as practice shows, the Z3 Compact really evokes positive emotions in people and not a lot of negative emotions. It's small and very thoughtful. Having first learned, everyone doesn’t want to give up on the fact that in this “compact” there is no metal frame, which is replaced by a polymer. After this month of victory, I can happily say that there is nothing terrible. It looks good, doesn’t wobble, you can lift the device from the table just with your fingertips (on the Z3 view), what else do you need?

And the device is even more photogenic, you can get a bunch of likes and take a photo of your skin. For example, this is a photograph for you.

As many as 161 likes! And the axis is a photograph, where the Sony Xperia Z3 is in full combat equipment, with a microphone, the headset is in place with a choking noise, all the accessories are supported, as the 3.5 mm penta-pin jack is used here. And the brightness of the sound is even better. And the speaker is louder, almost like the iPhone 5S.

Cream white, there are also options for black, mint and red colors. It seems to me that the Z3 Compact should be considered a difficult option, which is too tedious.

Even though the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is very emotional, it’s hard to put it on par with other Android smartphones. Samsung and LG don’t have such smartphones, but I don’t know what to call them. These are image devices, image in design, materials with any emotional charge - the buyer of the Z3 Compact receives a changed version of the flagship, and not just that. More speeches from the great writer V. The axis is very welcome. The device is suitable for girls, it fits well on small hands, and people are pleased with its functionality. Is it safe from water? So. Garna camera? So. What kind of accessories? So. How can you increase your memory? So. Stressed processor? So. All these words are for an advertising video, but many people choose their gadgets themselves.


I’ll guess that there’s already a report video, where I’ll add a lot of colors and finish the report about the smartphone.

Well, let's go back to the traditional look. I like how a smartphone looks when viewed from the front. They tried to make the frames, the ends are made of polymer, they are short, and the device lies better on the hand, which is easier to get out of the jelly. The well-developed buttons and, regardless of compactness, have removed the camera button. Like the flagship, it has rounded inserts at the ends. Neat plugs, 3.5 mm socket without locking, supports the work with all branded accessories for this purpose, theft device is IP68 standard.


Skoda, now that summer is over and all Z3s are going on sale in the spring, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact would look amazing here on the beach. I want winter holidays soon, and I want to fly to a warm land. So, don't forget about that little smartphone.

I’ll guess, nanoSIM is being used here, you will need to change your big SIM card - then it’s not important for iPhone 5S users to switch to Sony’s new small flagship.



With the drive of the reliability of glass panels in front and behind: the device once fell from a height on a fireplace in the kitchen, I don’t know any damage. On the white there are unmarked fingertips, rags, please pay attention to when purchasing.


If you are bothered by the plug on the end, use magnetic charging. It’s true, it’s going to happen that it’s too late. And one more complaint before assembly - everything is really great here, the panels and so on, just a few buttons to move. Particularly noteworthy is the volume button.

Display

The diagonal of the IPS display is 4.6 inches, the separate dimensions are 1280 x 720 pixels, everything is very bright, as I look at it. It’s appropriate for me, since the fonts have been changed, to show respect to the brand name on the screen in the cleanup mode, it’s not bad. The same is true, the fonts are chosen well, and the axis of the icons looks too big. On the other hand, they are clearly visible on the small screen; when you immediately select the required program, you don’t have to look at the screen.





When setting up the display, you can turn on the “With mittens” mode, select white balance, and activate the function of activating the device under the pressure of the screen when the smartphone is turned on. Previously, this function was not available on large flagships. The smart backlight function is supported - the screen does not darken while the smartphone is in your hand. You can choose the brightness yourself, or trust the automation, I give preference to the first option.

This is not entirely related to the display, but I have not always adequately processed the proximity sensor, under the hour of washing with my cheek, opening the menu of quick parameters, pressing the light, etc. If you have the same problem, tell me in the comments.

Let me add one more point. Small screen - small keyboard. Writing great SMS here or long-standing messages on Facebook is a real pain, as soon as you turn your smartphone over and write with two fingers. But the keyboard itself is disgusting.

Contents of delivery

I want to say something about this - I still wouldn’t like Sony to save on things that are too much trouble, because there is no headset, stand or any other accessories. The “you can buy it at the same time” strategy is good, but Apple is trying to give you everything you need for a smartphone. And even at Sony they pleased us with great “extras”. I would like to believe that the Sony Xperia Z4 will return to normal and I would like a headset (preferably one with strangling noise) to be included.

Productivity

The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz, an Adreno 330 video adapter, 3 GB of RAM, a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact 2 GB of RAM, but there is more and is not required, the display diagonal is smaller. 16 GB of memory is installed, microSD can be used, cards with a capacity of up to 128 GB are supported. All devices work as smoothly as possible, and E3 works smoothly. Android 4.4.4 is installed, but it will be updated to the latest version. The branded trellises are being redesigned, the icons have been redesigned, the widget with the date has recognized the changes, the numbers of the date have become the same - or rather, the font has become the same, the dates have been lost without changes. We wonder how the PP will change at the time the devices enter the market.

Droneless interfaces are standard, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC. A five-pin connector is being introduced, like on the Z2, and new accessories are being added to the side of the gadget, including a microphone and a noise-canceling headset. Of course, there will be other voices – for example, headphones with support for Hi-Res sound. A magnetic stand on the end allows you to charge the Z3 without using a microUSB connector. If you don't like the plug, we recommend purchasing a docking station. Before speaking, all Z3s come with a headset, you will have to buy it separately.

In reviewing the Sony Xperia Z3, Eldar spoke about productivity, I recommend reading the article.

There’s a lot to be said about the peculiarities of the Sony interface; I recommend you read it before.

Among the installed programs is Deezer, a music service (its value is doubtful),

Even in the fall of this year, another useful function will appear for the entire Z3 family, called Remote Play. The firmware for PS4 is released, the Z3 Compact function is released, and what else is there? Here's the thing: you can connect your smartphone or tablet to Wi-Fi to the console and use the screen of the device to play with the DualShock 4 joystick. The display is no longer touch-sensitive, and images from the console are transferred there. To put it in perspective, the Z3 Compact is transformed into a miniature TV. There will be a special device for the joystick; you can put a smartphone or tablet there. For now, everything works best within the boundaries of a home Wi-Fi network, but there is an increase in possibilities – for example, in Berlin I could turn on my Z3 set-top box, launch BF4, place my smartphone near the joystick and calmly play for a year before going to bed. The only thing that comes with the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is the power supply you need to maintain the dimensions of the display.

So, Z2 will not have such functionality.

Camera

Camera 20 MP, front – 2 MP, has a number of new effects, for example, you can paint on the graphite crystal, the baby will become voluminous, the camera can be held under different covers and see what happened . The chain is even more intense and unpretentious. Є recording of the video that appears on the screen, which is suitable for the authors of viewing programs, games for Android, є online broadcasting on YouTube. For other effects, see the video on the top of the article for more details. The number of pictures, as it seems from the company, has not changed and has become worse - in my opinion, there are not enough features in the Z2. Looking at the Z3, Eldar spoke clearly about the camera and its effects, I recommend reading his article.


I respect that I can’t find the brightness and joy of playing with manual adjustments, the Z3 Compact has a lot to offer. An even bigger role is played by the near-capture button, you can quickly launch the camera and take the first frame. I work like a camera: press the button - focus, press it all the way - lock.

life

The smartphone has a battery with a capacity of 2600 mAg, up to two hours of operation without Stamina mode; for charging, you can use any microUSB cable. Here the axis of Yak Sustereznaya, Yakscho Vikoristovo, the Godino Z Android, then in the Stamina mode for the year old will not be naiyaki before, one comrade, the Moto 360 in Parі Zony Xperia Z3 Compact, just get to the year old - leave not an active smartphone, not getting excited. And Stamina varto sinks in, the fragments seriously pour into the hour of work. For example, with my quiet and victorious device, the device is calmly alive for a couple of days - whose sense of the smartphone is much better than flagships with great displays.


And, in addition to the simple Stamina mode, there is the UltraSTAMINA mode, which can only be used on the phone and notifications. If you quickly find yourself in a situation where you have lost 30% of the charge and you know that you won’t be able to charge your smartphone for a long time, feel free to grab UltraSTAMINA - wipe yourself until the evening (scrub for a long time). Return to screenshot: battery charge – 56%, operating hour – 10 days 16 years. It's nasty, isn't it? I especially often find myself in this situation when I have to carry external batteries.

Visnovki

The smartphone costs approximately 23,990 rubles, the price seems to be entirely adequate - behind the “cute” appearance there is a functional and powerful device that will serve you well. Even if there are many people who still vikorize the Sony Xperia Z, we have such a person in our editorial office - well, why not, since everything is in control? So the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact can become a faithful companion. Great design, good display and camera, water protection – it’s not just protection, you can literally use your smartphone at the same time. Skoda does not come with any accessories, but you can buy a noise-canceling headset or a stereo microphone if you want to capture good videos from concerts. It’s great to select fonts in the menu, the camera effects are effective, if you’re sitting in a group and have nothing else to do, turn on the AR Effect and enjoy. The speaker, as I have already said, is loud enough, but there are no complaints about it. Supported by LTE, with Beeline and Megafon everything worked perfectly.

The transmission of airwaves is at a good level, as compared to the Z2, but there is no effect when you hear the sound from the speaker with your ear - one of the remaining firmwares for the Z2 corrected this bug, the Z3 Compact is all the same. There are also no complaints about the volume of the Z3 Compact speaker.

No spittle. This is also a great plus.

In the midst of great smartphones with great screens, finding a neat little smartphone seems to be even more difficult. It’s sad that Sony is going through a lot of trouble, since the miniature version of the flagship is identical in characteristics and has its own tricks. What would I want from the Z4 Compact? It is possible to do without frames altogether, add a headset to the set, make frames from metal - even metal designers love it, whatever. More plugs are added to save water. Write in the comments what you are dying about when it comes to Sony’s small flagships.

If you think that it is miniature and functional based on Android, you will definitely be surprised by the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. There are a lot of advantages here, but there are some shortcomings, but the advantages are outweighed. In my opinion, this is one of the best smartphones of the year 2015, and can be easily purchased.

P.S. There is a lot of love for those who are willing to replace the first-generation Compact with the model in question. It seems to me that the work is not very good, the old one is still cool and, as it works and calms down, it means there is nothing to joke between good and good.
