Can anyone live at least one day without a mobile phone? Of course not! Currently, young people do not even admit this opportunity. From year to year, the devices are constantly improved. Manufacturers equip them with innovative technologies. Now the mobile phone is a mini computer. With it, you can go online, being in any place, dial documents and more. The graphics and the sound of modern devices at a high level, so it is often possible to see people playing games or listening to music.

Two years ago there was a telephone Sony Xperia. Z3 Compact. It is a reduced version of the Xperia Z3 model. The device is calculated on people who, for various reasons, do not want to acquire a "shovel". Such a nickname got smartphones with large sizes. It is surprising that this category of buyers due to dimensions sacrificed with software equipment and technical characteristics, as it was necessary to buy the simplest models. Consumer demand for them, though it is small, but still there. For this reason, some manufacturers have released phones compact sizes. Did not exception trademark Sony.

Xperia Z3 Compact (Features, Reviews and Description will be presented in the article) - a full-fledged smartphone. Hardware platform I. software Completely comply with modern requirements. At least, so approves the manufacturer. And is it really, let's understand.

Equipment

Sony B. lately Refused bright packaging materials. I did not exception and model Xperia Z3 Compact. The box is very simple, from nonlackated cardboard, without any excesses. On it, the buyer will see the image of the phone, the name of the model, a brief description. Inside it is divided into three compartments. Partitions between them are quite thin. In them, the manufacturer put the charger, the device itself, simple headphones and a USB cable. If the D5803 index is worth on the packaging box, then the headset is not provided. It must be acquired additionally. Calm the buyer can only be the fact that the price of headphones is quite acceptable. Required to any instrument attached documentation:

The operation manual contains the specifications of the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact phone and other useful information.
The warranty card is filled with the seller on the day of purchase.
List of service centers.

Equipment, immediately say, is quite modest. However, it is fully justified by the cost, which starts from the mark of 20,000 rubles. Phones intended for sale in Ukraine are not equipped with a headset.

Appearance

The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact phone has a large screen that is unconditional advantage. It was able to increase it by reducing the frame. Now it is very narrow (3 mm), almost imperceptible. Manufacturers preferred to abandon clear direct forms with rude corners. Now the side faces received a rounded form, but the rectangle is still visible. The arc bending is small, but it is precisely this softens the familiar traditional design. Two speakers. They are located symmetrically (at the top and bottom). Holes have the same shape. Under the top speaker there is a company name. Also in this part on the right side there is a camera. Standard location No control buttons, they are on the screen. You can see them, just unlocking the phone. The lateral frame is made of polycarbonate. Due to the change of material (the metal was previously used), it was possible to give the original originality by transparency. Such a designer solution has significantly increased the status perception of the model and translated it into the category of youth equipment.

Side faces to the touch are somewhat rough. This makes it possible to exclude slip, so the phone can be confidently kept and simultaneously controlled by one hand. The manufacturer claims that polycarbonate material has excellent depreciation properties that act serious protection in the fall of the smartphone from the height.

The type of design of this model is a monoblock. The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact case (the characteristic of the phone is in the article) consists of two plates and frames. Connectors for memory cards and SIM are located on the sides. Slots are closed with special lids. In order to get cards, you just need to open them. Next to these slots there is a connector for a USB cable. The rear panel is made of glass. It has only an outbreak and camera lens. Currently, you can purchase a device in four color solutions: black, white, green, red-orange.

The on and blocking button is located on the side face, on the right side. It is round shape, chrome surface. Next to it is the "swing" volume. In the lower part of the side face the hardware key of the chamber. Shot can be carried out even under water. The manufacturer also equipped the device with a special jack for the docking station. At the bottom there is a microphone and a hole for a lace. Headphones are connected on top, standard connector - 3.5 mm.

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact: Specifications

Before describing the main components of the smartphone in detail, it is necessary to dwell on the specifications. Let's consider that the manufacturer offers in this model:

Screen

Will buyers surprise a display that is equipped with a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone? Screen characteristics are quite acceptable, although according to modern standards, the indicators do not differ high levels. In the manual you can read the following information provided by the manufacturer:

Screen type - Triluminos.
Resolution - 1280 × 720.
Matrix - IPS, sensory.
Diagonal - 4.6 ".
Pixel density - 319 ppi.

To improve the image, a special X-REALITY technology is used. The familiar film that protects the screen in this model is not. The manufacturer decided to use the glass. Brightness settings are adjustable in two ways: automatically and manually. Multitouch is designed for 10 simultaneous touches. You can work with the display as wet hands and gloves. On the front surface there is a proximity sensor. If you close it while talking on the phone, it automatically blocks the screen.

The colors are sufficient. The display can reproduce up to 16 million shades. The viewing angles are good. With an inclination of the device 45 ° decreases contrast. Changes occur due to the black sections of the black.

Sound

What kind of sound is expected from the Sony D5803 Xperia Z3 Compact model (Black)? The characteristics of the speakers are not distinguished by high indicators. Unfortunately, there is no expressiveness. The sound is deaf, noises are observed. When you turn on the maximum volume, wheezing appear. Given that the speakers in this model are two, buyers hoped for the best result.

The owners will not be happy and during the conversation. The voice of the interlocutor, though they recognize, but there are no clarity. However, the timbre and intonation are well recognized.

To play music files on Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (Phone characteristic is presented above), the Walkman player is used. He is equipped standard settings And, according to Audiophiles, has nothing remarkable. The only thing that deserves attention is the surround sound and innovative XLOUD and Clear Phase technologies. To improve the characteristics, you can use the Clearaudio + option. Connoisseurs of musical tracks The manufacturer recommends using the MDR-NC31EM headset, ensuring a decrease in noise by 98%.

Camera

This model is equipped with two cameras. This is no longer surprising. All modern smartphones are equipped in a similar way. The difference is only permission. Do you like the connoisseurs of photography Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (D5803)? The characteristics of the main chamber are impressive - 20.7 MP. It is equipped with a lens G Lens, autofocus with a distance of 27 mm. If you need to configure, you can change manually by choosing the best result. It is worth noting that in the automatic mode, the pictures are obtained in size 3840 × 2160 PIX, which corresponds to a resolution of 8 megapixel. In the settings, you can choose the highest indicator that will allow you to take photos of 5248 × 3936.

Owners, tested the main chamber, came to the following conclusions. Snapshots are enough good quality. At close range, the sharpness is reduced only in the corners, and it is insignificant. In photographs, the shadows are transmitted well, there are practically no noise. The main advantage of this model is the ability to take pictures under water.

On the front chamber (2.2 Mp) there is no sense for a long time. Her permission suggests that selfie lovers will not be able to get high-quality pictures.

Video shooting

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (Camera feature above) opens up great ability to remove videos. For example, you can write down the same scene at different viewing angles or use background sound (rain noise, bird singing, etc.). Video resolution: 4K (UHD) and 1080 p. There is a high speed framework. Also, if desired, you can use deceleration effects.

A wide range of video recording functions fell by many owners. The greatest number of positive feedback received the shooting mode with a speed of 60 k / s (resolution - 1080 p).

Software

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact phone features directly depend on the power of the processor and the operating system. They affect the speed of the apparatus. This model is equipped with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with KRAIT 400 kernel type. Frequency - 2.5 GHz. As for the platform, the phone works on the updated version. Google Android 4.4.4. The corporate interface is its own development of Sony. Icons and settings are large and clear. It is surprising that only the reboot option appeared in this model. Previously, it was necessary to simply turn off the phone and re-enable. New devices were able to integrate with gaming prefixAnd not only the smartphone, but also the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact tablet can appear as a screen. The characteristics of these devices are compatible with the Sony PlayStation model 4. Mobile devices are capable of displaying everything that happens on the TV screen. The manufacturer provided as an additional accessory a special stand-fastener. With its help, the phone or tablet joins the joystick.

Battery

In modern smartphones enough an important parameter is the duration of autonomous work. It is responsible for it, of course, the battery. But not everything depends on its container. Also quite important are the parameters such as screen resolution, the level of brightness, etc. How did the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (Black) telephone showed?

Battery Characteristics:

Type - lithium-ion.
Volume - 2600 mAh.
Charging time - 3 h.
Standby mode - about 900 hours.
Play music through the headset - 110 hours.
When talking - 14 hours

During testing the apparatus, the following results were obtained. It should be borne in mind that Wi-Fi was turned on on the phone.

Low brightness reading mode - 22 hours.
View video B. high format - 10 h.
3D-game option - 5 h.

So, these results indicate quite worthy characteristics. Not every smartphone has such indicators. How was the manufacturer able to achieve them? For autonomous operation, the screen is the main advantage. It is not very large and is not equipped with FullHD-resolution. It is thanks to him the indicators of the duration of work without recharging such high.

Communication

This model supports network formats: 2G, 3G, 4G. You can use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to receive and transmit data. With the on the Internet, the owners did not notice that no curls of the system, or braking the operation of the device. Data transfer can be performed at speeds up to 150 MB / s. As for the signal mobile operator, then the owners have no comments, the phone catches the network perfectly.

Conclusion

Describing model Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (Full-time characteristic is now known to you), you can highlight a large list of advantages. Owners confirm them in 100% of cases.

Of course, it did not cost without comments. Some owners are unhappy with the screen. Agree and have them, since there are some flaws. The replacement of the side of the side faces is also difficult to call the advantage, since the phone has lost the status of expensive equipment. Now it is more positioned as teenage. By the way, no vain producer added green and orange options. They are great fit young energetic people. And buyers with conservative glances can stop their choice on classic design - white and black.

For those who do not want to take a big phone with a large diagonal. At the same time, it does not completely copy the housing of the older version, instead of a metal framework, less "serious" is used here, but more youth and stylish polymer. Sony did not go along the path of most companies that equip mini flagships with processors from the average price range, in this case the Z3 Compact has the same set of functions and the same excess-productive processor, as well as on the Sony Xperia Z3 senior. This will allow you to use the smartphone as a game platform. You do not need to be afraid that the more compact, the phone is more convenient for hand it will be a pale copy of the "older brother".

As it should be the smartphones of this line, the Xperia Z3 Compact is protected from water according to IP 68 standards and in our tests weathered to test with river water and sandy sludge. The battery life of the model turned out to be at the height, especially in the audio player mode: the smartphone lasted about four and a half days to full discharge. If earlier displays smartphones XPERIA Z could be supplied in low brightness, now this defects are fixed - brightness enough for any situations. The smartphone camera is impressive with the number of megapixels - 20.7, makes clear pictures and easily replace you with "soap" in the journey.

It is difficult to name any serious shortcomings: the same design is the case for an amateur, except that you have to tinker with plugs, insert a SIM card in it is not so simple; Yes, and the smartphone can slip out of the hands or roll with an uneven surface; A non-removable battery can also be considered a disadvantage. In our opinion, it was possible to increase the resolution of the display, then the density of pixels per inch caught up, and even overtake, senior version of the flagships. In general, Z3 Compact turned out to be the best in many parameters among the smartphones that we were tested. He is definitely a decent alternative to all smartphones up to 5 inches, including the iPhone 6 and a novelty from Samsung - Galaxy Alpha.

Dimensions and weight - 5.0

Sony accelerates and, apparently, decided to update the smartphone line every six months, therefore, probably "missed" the mini version of Xperia Z2. The last time the "younger" version went out only to Sony Xperia Z1, and it was just 9 months to the release of the Xperia Z3 Compact. What changes occurred in Xperia Z? Compared to Xperia Z1 Compact, the diagonal of Z3 has increased from 4.3 inches to 4.6. In this case, the length and width of the smartphone is the same - 127 × 65 mm, and the thickness has become less than 8.7 mm against 9.5 mm. Smartphone Sony Xperia Z3 Compact dropped several grams of weight (128 g against 137 g). The increase in the diagonal occurred mainly due to the framework from above and below, but the phone still visually seems high and "elongated". In general, these are good indicators. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone lies well in one hand, though it is not so convenient to control one hand.

The front and back of the Xperia Z3 Compact is covered with glass, it makes it easier to collect prints, but they are easily written. We also note that the older version of Xperia Z uses metal side frames, in the given case, a translucent polymer is used instead of the "noble" material.

Among the minuses, we note that due to the glass coating, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone easily "moves" from inclined surfaces. In addition, glass, though protected, can be covered with cracks at a random fall on the asphalt. If the asphalt smartphone is to be afraid, then with water should not be any problems, as it is protected from water and dust according to the highest standards - IP 68. By the way, the same Samsung Galaxy S5 mini is protected in less demanding standard - IP 67. Of course, It is unlikely that someone will seriously swim with phones under water, rather, it is just protection against random drops into the water or spilled on the body of the fluid device. True, it is worth noting that in the name of protection against water, it is necessary to open-close the protective plugs to use the connectors. We also seemed inconvenient location of the volume key - in the middle of the housing and it is necessary to reach it.

The model looks stylish, the quality of the assembly is good. We note that the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact easily passed our tests to moisture resistance, even after swimming in the river and testing of the fountain, the housing almost does not crunch at a pressure.

You can buy Sony Xperia Z3 Compact immediately in four colors: white, black, green and orange.

Screen - 4.5.

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Display Diagonal - 4.6 inches. With HD-resolution (1280 × 720 pixels) it turns out a good density of pixels (319 per inch) and sharp image. The type of matrix - IPS, and even recently, Sony used TN matrices for this series of smartphones. If the previous Xperia Z2 could be supplied for a dull display, then there are no problems with brightness in the present - up to 491 kD / m2, this is a high indicator. As you know, Sony uses the X-REALITY image improvement technology, which should increase the clarity and brightness of the image. However, our tests have shown that the limit brightness mode did not greatly increase the maximum brightness of the image - only up to 497 kD / m2. Yes, and in the mode of increasing image definition, we failed to see any serious changes. The viewing angles are good, the display does not "blind", images and texts remain readable. There is a brightness auto-tuning function, but it works not as quickly as I would like. Like most premium devices, Sony Xperia Z3 Compact supports work in gloves. The display glass is resistant to the appearance of scratches, dirty from the touch of fingers, but the traces are easily erased.

Cameras - 4.1.

In the telephone Sony Xperia Z3 Compact installed 20.7 MP camera. LED flash, autofocus, face recognition, image stabilization, HDR mode, Panorama and big choice Settings and modes for a pleasant pastime. Maximum resolution Photo - 5248 × 3936 pixels if you yourself configure all the parameters. True, it's easier and "not worse" to shoot in "Super AutoFee", in which good 8 megapixel photos are made, the quality of which decreases only under conditions of poor lighting. In addition to the main chamber, there is also a front-line 2.2 megapixel with the possibility of shooting a full full HD video at a speed of 30 k / s.

As for video shooting, the main smartphone camera can shoot 4K video - 3840 × 2160 pixels with a frequency of 30 k / s. Want slow motion and more frames per second? Please - shoot Full HD video at 60 k / s and HD video at 120 k / s. By the way, Apple iPhone. 6 is able to do the same, plus 240 k / s with HD-resolution. In addition there is a large number of Effects, defocusing background, multicamera with shooting scene at different angles, the ability to add virtual scenes in video and much more.

Photo from Sony Xperia Z3 Compact - 4.1

Working with text - 5.0

Standard keyboard in Sony Xperia Z3 is convenient because it has a text entry function using strokes (SWYPE), wide opportunities By setting up the dictionaries, you can also add the markup of additional characters to the same settings. Switch between languages \u200b\u200bis easy - there is separate key. In addition, there is a keyboard mode for one hand: you can move it to the right or left, as you will be more convenient. The Sony Xperia Z3 keypad can be called comfortable, but in horizontal mode it takes almost all the screen space.

Internet - 3.0

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Browser Situation: Preset Google Chrome, with support for synchronizing tabs with a desktop version. Multiple page scaling and a separate read mode are not supported. You can only manually set the text font size for one-time scaling and after that, double by clicking on the page, adjust all the text under the selected size.

Communication - 5.0

The company, as usual, supplied the phone Sony Xperia Z3 Compact almost everyone possible interfaces. The device is available: two-way Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi modemia mode and high-speed 802.11ac support support, Bluetooth 4.0 with low energy consumption and A2DP support, A-GPS support with GLONASS support and chip NFC.. Also there is support for Russian frequencies LTE. Smartphone Sony Xperia Z3 Compact now works with Nano-SIM cards and micro-SD cards up to 128 GB. It is also equipped with a Micro-USB 2.0 port. uSB support OTG and MHL, which means you can transfer high-definition video through it and connect different peripherals to the phone. In a word, only an infrared port is missing for a complete set.

Multimedia - 4.6.

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact audio player supports many formats and loses MP3, FLAC, WAV files and a number of less popular formats. A little sorry, but complete to xperia z2 served good headphones with noise cancellation technology, in this case there are no. Built-in video player supports most popular video formats. The video player also supports subtitles.

Battery - 4.0.

In the model installed non-removable lithium-polymer battery With a capacity of 2600 mAh (recall, there were 2300 mAh in Xperia Z1 Compact). In our two standard tests, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone has demonstrated excellent autonomous performance. The device lost HD video at the maximum brightness of 8.5 hours. In the listening mode of music with the screen turned off, the device was discharged in 110 hours (more than 4.5 days), we already seemed to us that he would never never discharge. Almost in our tests only PHILIPS W6610 was held - as many as 134 hours.

Productivity - 4.0

Many will please that the manufacturer did not save on the compact version of the flagship and did not install in it, as it usually happens, some medium processor. The consumer does not have to choose between Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact, both between devices with different performance, the choice will be only in the diagonal of the display. So, in Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, as in Sony Xperia Z3, the Qualcomm MSM8974AC SNAPDRAGON 801 platform with a quad-core processor with a frequency of 2.5 GHz, graphic subsystem Adreno 330 and 2 GB of RAM (senior model with 3 GB in this regard Taki a little stronger). For normal operation in everyday use, in our opinion, there would be enough two nuclei in the processor with 1 GB of RAM. It is worth noting that Sony Xperia Z3 Compact does not have any serious performance problems: the smartphone works quickly, does not slow down and allows you to play demanding games. But, of course, if you compare the speed of work, including desktops, with the speed of iPhone 6, then the Z3 Compact will yield to the apple telephone.

The device is perfect for any games and applications. According to the results of our synthetic tests, the smartphone occupies one of the leading positions. For example, in Benchmark Antutu, the smartphone received 44834 points, and in 3D Mark Ice Storm Unlimited - 20421 score, incredibly a huge result. The chipset used in Sony Xperia Z3 is one of the most productive on the market.

Memory - 4.0.

The total amount of integrated memory in Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is limited to 16 GB, the user is about 11.5 GB. There is a micro-SD memory card slot, supported up to 128 GB cards. By the way, the "hot replacement" of the memory card is possible, you will only have to open the waterproof plugs each time, turn off or restart the phone.

Features

The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone is certified by IP68, which means that it is protected from water and dust. You can drop it into the water, and if all of its plugs are securely covered, then there will be nothing phone from it. We tested protection from the water on the river and even buried it in River Il - everything works. In addition, we note the glass case, advanced smartphone interfaces and 20 mp chamber.

Smartphone works under android system 4.4.4 With Sony's branded shell: All standard applications have been recycled and have an original appearance. In the dialer there are Russian letters, music player I know how to seek the covers of albums, there are support for third-party topics. From the preset applications, you can mark Lifelog to record the events of your life, radio (need a headset), office package OfficeSuite with the ability to view documents, Smart Connect to connect devices, file manager, Antivirus Pro and for some reason, on our sample was pre-installed the game Predators. For game lovers on Play Station there is an application for running games for Play Station on the screen of the smartphone, it will start working from November 2014. There is a simple application "sketch" in which you can indulge with photos of friends, for example, to draw your mustache, hats or noses.

Price sony Xperia Z3 Compact for the spring of 2015 on average is 27590 rubles.

Apple iPhone 6 Display Resolution is slightly higher, respectively, the image too. Smartphone cameras, in our opinion, are quite comparable to each other in the quality of the pictures. The casing of the iPhone 6 metallic, more compact, and Sony Z3 Compact is made of glass, with polymer frames and protection against water and dust. In time autonomous work iPhone 6 is significantly inferior to the Sony smartphone, but the iPhone 6 boasts a high speed of work. With all other things, the amount of memory on Xperia Z3 Compact can be increased by means of a memory card, which is not from the iPhone, and the price of the "apple" smartphone is much higher.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha. - Almost the record holder on the compactness of the hull. He has a metal frame on the sides, but no water protection. Sony smartphone camera, in our opinion, better USB connector supports MHL and battery life noticeably more, there is support for memory cards, which Galaxy Alpha was deprived. In terms of performance, both devices are approximately the same, but in daily using samsung Galaxy Alpha is a little faster. Prices for smartphones Almost at the same level, Compact Z3 for autumn 2014 per thousand rubles cheaper. In our opinion, a choice for an amateur: smartphones have its own character, their strengths and weaknesses.

Samsung Galaxy S5 mini SM-G800H / DS is a competitor easier, but also mini flagship. It is noticeable for it below, it does not work with LTE and is not equipped with a NFC chip, but also protected from water and dust. Displays can be called similar, but S5 mini has a fingerprint scanner. Galaxy processor S5 mini is weaker, but in everyday use you are unlikely to notice the difference. The Xperia Z3 Compact battery turned out to be more lively. But the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini SM-G800H / DS is perfect for those who need support for two SIM cards, but not enough to have a budget phone.

Accelerometer (or G-SENSOR) - device position sensor in space. As the main function, the accelerometer is used to automatically change the image orientation on the display (vertical or horizontal). Also, G-Sensor is used as a pedometer, they can be controlled by various device functions by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope - Sensor measuring rotation angles with respect to the fixed coordinate system. Created to measure rotation angles in several planes at the same time. The gyroscope together with the accelerometer allows you to determine the position of the device in space with high accuracy. In devices using only accelerometers, measurement accuracy is lower, especially with rapid movement. Also, the possibilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor - Sensor, thanks to which the optimal brightness and contrast values \u200b\u200bare set for this light level. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Proximity sensor - Sensor that determines when the device is close to the face during a conversation, turns off the backlight and blocks the screen, preventing accidental pressing. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Geomagnetic sensor - Sensor to determine the side of the light into which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the magnetic poles of the Earth. Information obtained from the sensor is used in cartographic programs for locality orientation.
Atmospheric pressure sensor - Sensor for accurate measure atmospheric pressure. It is part of the GPS system, allows you to determine the height above sea level and speed up the location definition.
Touch ID - Identification sensor for fingerprint.

Satellite navigation:

GPS. (Global Positioning System - Global Positioning System) - satellite navigation system, ensuring measurement of distance, time, speed and determining the location of objects anywhere in the Earth. The system is developed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The main principle of using the system is to determine the location by measuring distances to the object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated by the time of delaying the signal propagation from sending it to the satellite before receiving an antenna GPS receiver.
GLONASS (Global navigation satellite system) - Soviet and Russian satellite navigation system, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The measurement principle is similar to the American GPS navigation system. GLONASS is designed for operational navigation and temporary support of users of ground, marine, air and space-based. The main difference from the GPS system is that GLONASS satellites in their orbital movement do not have resonance (synchronization) with the rotation of the Earth, which ensures greater stability.

Sony at a press conference in Berlin presented Sicvel mini flagship Xperia Z3 Compact. The smartphone is made in the best traditions of Sony - no cutting off the "iron" and the functionality, the same design as the older model.

The latter will help the gamers to turn the smartphone into the second display (you need to replace the PS Vita at all (using the Special Creed and the Dualshock 4 joystick you can play the console remotely).
