Sony announced the release of its new flagship Xperia Z3 smartphone, mere months after releasing the Xperia Z2. The Z3 is an incremental change, with updates to the processor and camera, as well as rounded edges.

"At Sony Mobile, 'flagship' now means offering a choice to consumers of enjoying a large screen Xperia Z3 for immersive entertainment or a more compact, lighter Xperia Z3 Compact that doesn't ask you to compromise on features," Kunimasa Suzuki, the president and CEO of Sony Mobile Communications, said in a statement.
The Z3 keeps the features that made the Z2 popular, like the large 5.2-inch screen, 1080p display and 20.7 megapixel camera. Like many of the devices Sony is putting out on the market this year, the Z3 is also waterproof.

"Consumers demand and deserve greatness from their smartphone - in design, camera and battery life," Suzuki continued. "That's precisely what we aim to deliver with Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact, at the same time as delivering leading innovations such as unique Sony camera experiences and, for the first time, PS4 Remote Play in two beautifully designed, fully waterproof smartphones."
Sony is loading the phone with specs aimed at the Instagram set. One interesting feature is Face In, which captures a photo of your face with the front camera as your taking a photo with the rear one.
