After having left nothing to the imagination with all those leaks, Sony has decided to finally unveil the Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact in an official manner. These handsets will be arriving in Europe first, and their pricing in the said region has already started appearing less than a day after their launch.
The Sony Xperia Z3 flagship will go on sale in the UK at £549, whereas its value in other nations from the continent will hover between €649 to €699, according to GSM Arena. The Z3 Compact on the other hand will be seen going for £429 in the UK. In other nations, the small device will be available at varying costs between €379 and €499.
The fresh Xperia Z3 from Sony isn’t much of an upgrade over its predecessor. It packs the same 5.2-inch 1080p full HD display and waterproofing abilities, while despite also running on the same processor, the clock speed is a bit higher on the Z3, at 2.5GHz.
