Our quick take
Sony Xperia Z3+ - 3.5 / 5
Boiling blueprint
Baking battery
Sizzling screen
Scorching software
Cooking camera
To recap
From the lofty highs of the Z3, the Xperia Z3+ is, ironically, a big minus against Sony’s Z-series. It’s hotted things up in terms of design, but also all too literally: that Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor gets excessively hot, causing issues with battery life and making some features, such as the camera, approximately useless. Stick with the Z3 or wait for an end-of-2015 flagship.
