I was thinking at that time: Oh, it turns out that only when there is a connection can it be called a complete story.
Ever since XperiaZ, which was hailed as "the essence of HuiSony" at the beginning of 20 13, I have always liked Z series because of its double-sided glass panel, clock power key, three-proof characteristics, simple and simple shape design and other elements. At first, I thought that the black mirror could best reflect an unspeakable mysterious beauty, so Z and Z 1 both chose the black version. However, since the small and colorful Z 1 Compact went on the market, my desire for color broke out, as if the long-suppressed beast had been released. The new colors introduced by each generation are my only choice. Modern yellow Z 1 Compact, amber gold Z3, coral green Z3 Compact, each color is fashionable and beautiful, with high recognition.
In April this year, Sony released its new flagship Z4 in Japan. In June, it was renamed as Z3+. For the mainland market, it added dual-4G dual-card dual standby function for mobile/Unicom, and launched four color versions: Dai Lie Black, Champagne Gold, Jiao Yue Bai and Jianhu Green.
I was a little confused when I first saw the name of the color "Jianhu Green", because from the pictures on the Internet, it seems to be bluer. Until you got the real machine, you still thought it was a controversial color. Because of the different light and angle, it can give you different visual feelings. "Looking across the ridge, the heights are different" is the most appropriate description, so is shine on you "green" or "clear" from blue?
This is really a difficult question to answer.
But "Jianhu Green" is an unprecedented color in Z series, and there is no doubt about choosing it. First of all, the new color scheme can give me different sensory stimulation. This fresh blue is full of ink, and there is a feeling of summer in it. Secondly, only the new color can let others know that I have changed the new style! Please forgive my vanity and superficiality.
Xperia Z3+ inherits Sony's Omni Balance design since Xperia Z, and each generation is optimized and adjusted on the basis of the previous generation, in pursuit of more extreme perfection. Although this inheritance has caused many people aesthetic fatigue, it gradually lacks attention. However, as a user who insists on using a series of products, watching the continuous development of technology and the gradual improvement of products, he accidentally put his feelings into it, just like watching his children grow up little by little. Perhaps my metaphor will be a little melodramatic, but if you really loved a brand and left your own chasing footsteps in the hurried years, I believe you can understand this unspeakable state of mind, slightly excited, mixed with subtle emotions and mixed with years.
Well, who says it can only be called a complete story if there is a connection?
Let's take a look at what changes and improvements Z3+ has compared with Z3:
Classic design elements such as double-sided tempered glass, rounded metal frame, clock power key and lanyard hole are not reduced, while the fuselage is further slimmed, with a thickness of 6.9mm and a weight of only 144g, which adds a lot to the grip and one-handed operation. Most importantly, with such a slim body, the camera can still be completely flat. Think about those mobile phones that blindly pursue ultra-thin but make the camera bulging, which not only makes me admire Sony's design skills.
In addition, the Z3+ cancels the magnetic charging interface previously set on the left side of the fuselage, and the 3.5mm headphone jack above the fuselage and the USB interface below are exposed, but IP65/IP68 is still waterproof and dustproof. Here, let me pay attention to Sony again! You should know that many Xperia users have a casual or casual hobby of dazzling water!
It is precisely because of this design that the fuselage is more concise. Only the left side has a long waterproof cover with a Micro SD card slot supporting maximum 128G and an integrated card holder supporting dual Nano SIM cards. Compared with the metal card slots used in most mobile phones, this thin plastic card holder looks a bit crude and takes a lot of effort to take out, but it may be a concession to ensure three defenses and control the body volume. In addition, I'm a little surprised that hot plug of SIM card is not supported. Every time the card slot is pulled out, the phone has to be restarted to recognize the operator signal.
From top to bottom, on the right are the power button, the volume button and the two-level camera button. The position and force feedback of the three buttons are moderate, and the camera button is also helpful for snapshot. According to my test, press the camera button with the screen open, and you can start the camera to take pictures after about 1 second.
Above the fuselage is a symmetrical 3.5mm earphone hole and noise reduction Mic, and below is a Micro-USB interface and a sling hole. Compared with Z3, the surface treatment process of Z3+ metal frame has also changed. Metal texture is stronger, and it will be slightly champagne-colored at some angles. Matte texture, more practical when holding. The rubber color of the four corners has also become slightly transparent, just like four unpolished pearls.
When you draw your finger from the glass to the metal edge, you can obviously feel that the metal frame is slightly higher than the double-sided glass. This design can reduce the wear of glass when it is placed on a flat surface and the impact force when it falls. But when operating with one hand, you can obviously feel a little hand resting in the palm of your hand.
Except for the white version with a white panel, the other three color versions are all equipped with a black panel. The front and rear symmetrical dual speakers adopt a design similar to Xperia Z2 hidden in the frame, which makes it more difficult to find the existence of speakers on the black panel. In addition, the front camera, Led lights and Logo are also located above the screen of the panel. I have to talk about the screen Z3+ here. The resolution of 5.2 inches 1080p ensures sufficient fineness, and the brightness is increased to 700nit, thus greatly improving the color gamut. In addition, thanks to the X-reality image processing engine, clear, natural, vivid and bright compliments can be given without hesitation.
The overall design of the back has not changed much. The logo of Sony, Xperia and NFC is still in the middle, and the camera and flash are in the upper left. The lens of the camera is directly protected by the back glass, which is not only flat but also smooth. At present, most mobile phones are equipped with double Led flashlights or even three-color temperature flashlights, and the single Led flashlight of Z3+ is thin for lighting at night or taking photos to fill the light.
In my memory, Sony has always been a very representative brand in terms of "sound quality". The overall analysis performance of Xperia Z3+ is good. In addition, with the addition of alcohol sound technology, EQ sound effect and automatic optimization, different users can adjust and set sound effects according to their own hobbies, which can basically meet the daily listening needs of most people. In addition, Z3+ has joined the LDAC Bluetooth high-resolution audio coding technology, which supports audio transmission up to 990kbps, which is definitely the gospel for wireless Bluetooth headset users. In terms of external sound, dual speakers make the sound more stereoscopic, but the overall volume is still small, the sound is not full enough, and there is some fatigue.
In taking pictures, the Z3+ uses the same 20.7 megapixel G lens as the Z3. I have always felt that the quality of Xperia cameras is very good, and the film is ok, especially in night imaging. With the addition of AR effect, fun shooting and audio photos, it has become the most popular brand in the default camera application of mobile phones. But the whole experience was really uncomfortable. The cumbersome interface and complicated settings make ordinary users feel at a loss for a while, thus leaving a bad impression.
XperiaZ3+ camera interface:
XperiaZ3+ example:
I believe everyone is familiar with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 10 processor. Thanks to it, Xperia Z3+ can feel obvious fever near the NFC logo on the back cover of the fuselage after continuing to use the camera for a period of time, especially after using "ar effect" 1-2 minutes, the system will prompt "The temperature of the equipment is too high, temporarily turn off the camera for cooling", and then forcibly turn off the camera. This performance makes the already unsatisfactory photo experience even worse. Fortunately, when only using special effects to take pictures and run large-scale game scenes, it is prone to high temperature, and the temperature of the fuselage is still within the acceptable range in daily use.
Finally, according to my personal experience, I summed up three "tips" on how to dissipate heat from Z3+: 1. Manual cooling with manual washing, waterproof function comes in handy at this time; 2. Put a winter theme on your mobile phone to make yourself feel cool; 3. Put down the phone, watch and think quietly! Of course, these so-called "small coup" are just for fun in my spare time, which has no substantive significance. What all users want most is, of course, that Qualcomm or Sony can introduce a scheme to control temperature and improve fever as soon as possible to alleviate and improve this series of problems.
The front camera pixel of Z3+ is increased to 5 million, 1/5 Exmor R photosensitive element, with a wide angle of 25mm. The addition of real-time beauty and eyeball polishing functions is bound to please many female users. The self-timer effect is obviously improved compared with that of the previous Z3, but the phenomenon of excessive tailing of imaging noise at night still exists.
AR effect selfie
In terms of system, Z3+ is equipped with Android version 5.0.2, and the screen lock interface, drop-down menu and setting menu all have the shadow of native Android5.0.2. The native system is smooth and concise, and with the hardware assistance of Snapdragon 8 10 eight nuclear processor and 3GB RAM, there is basically no jam in daily use.
Although it is very close to the native system, Sony has made many changes and optimizations. For example, the order of shortcuts in the drop-down menu supports customization; Common small functions such as calculator and timer are added in the multi-task interface; The addition of a simple screen; Support to change or download the installation system theme; Use gestures to intelligently control the call; Can broadcast the "screen recording" function of screen operation in real time, and so on. However, as a version of the Bank of China, its application store is simple, the user's avatar disappears frequently and inexplicably, and the calling place is missing, which shows that its localization function needs to be improved.
Simple home desktop
As for Sony's icon, some people think it is exquisite and concise, while others think it is rough and Fiona Fang is different. However, I personally feel that I should choose some fresh art or natural wallpaper, with the overall simple design style of the mobile phone and the cool and energetic green of Jianhu, with the simple, elegant and quiet Japanese style.
Ever since I used the XperiaZ series, battery life has always been an aspect that I feel at ease, and the performance of the Z3+ battery life is also what I expect. Compared with Z3' s 3 100mAh, the battery capacity of 2930 mAh is reduced, and there is no significant difference in actual use. Lightweight use can last for 2 days, and there is basically no problem in daily use for one day.
At this point, the basic description of the changes and personal use sharing of XperiaZ3+ has been completed. While inheriting the classics, Z3+ has the perfection of shine on you in software optimization and hardware upgrade. These changes are obvious and what users want to see. Although the Z3+ still has many shortcomings in details, I still appreciate Sony's pursuit of exquisiteness and perfection.
No matter what kind of creature, what kind of ecology, when you witness its growth, you will have an unspeakable joy, and you will always pay attention to its dynamics, its growth performance and its future.
In this process, some people choose to stay away, while others remain in it; Some people are extremely disappointed, others are ecstatic.
Whether staying away or staying, whether disappointed or happy, at least, we persisted. This is a memory and an innate emotional expression.
Give it to friends who have chased Xperia like me!
