3 Days With the Sony Xperia XZ3 | Love & Hate

The Sony Xperia XZ3 is a flagship phone to rival Samsung's Galaxy S9, the OnePlus 6 and Huawei's P20 Pro - boasting a gorgeous 6-inch OLED screen, super-smart camera tech and premium specs. Here's my early review of the Xperia XZ3 after just 72 hours of 'daily driver' use, ahead of my in-depth coverage over on Recombu.

Check out my comparisons with the Sony Xperia XZ3 and its biggest rivals here on Tech Spurt and my full unboxing and tour on Recombu, for a closer look at this gorgeous Bordeaux Red model.

The XZ3 is definitely Sony's most attractive smartphone to date, while that QHD+ display is simply stunning. However, the camera hardware has been lifted wholesale from the Xperia XZ2, while Sony hasn't any killer new features beyond that new screen. What do you think, is this another essential handset from the Japanese giant? Let us know in the comments below!
