As for the battery power, it already comes at 3,100 mAh but further testing has proven that it can last up to 48 hours, far longer than any other smartphone. The Stamina Mode setting can extend that at much longer hours, while the Ultra Stamina Mode limits functions even more for longer use.
When it comes to the camera, the device boasts a 20.1 megapixel rear camera that comes with a 25 mm wide angle G-lens technology, a two stage shutter key and can even work in low light conditions. When it comes to the audio, music lovers might enjoy the front-facing speakers and the High Resolution Digital Sound Enhancement Engine that upgrades the phone's audio quality.
However, as with any piece of tech, the Xperia Z3 is not without its flaws. Some of the units are experiencing problems with the camera, touch screen and more. Android Authority has compiled a shortlist of a quick-fix for some of the easier and more common problems to help users along.
Some of the problems users are faced with are the unresponsive touch screen, a red or pink circle appearing on their photographs, lagging performance of the phone when it comes to games and videos, slow charging and quick battery drain or problems with WiFi connectivity.
Occasionally a factory reset is helpful to repair any bugs so users will need to back up important data. Sometimes it's a problem with the firmware or occasionally users simply need to update their phone's software, adjust the settings or even the standard quick fix of restarting one's phone to hopefully get the Xperia Z3 back on track.
