Ranking

Achieving a very high score in the DxOMark Mobile industry standard tests, the latest iteration of the Sony Xperia Z the Z3+ breaks the Samsung and Apple duopoly for Mobile image quality.

With an over DxOMobile score of 82 points, the Xperia Z3+ shows some slight improvement in image quality over its predecessors the Z3 and Z2, which both achieved the same score of 79 points. However, while the improvement isn’t huge exactly, it is good enough to place the flagship Z3+ in the Top 3 — in joint third place next to the latest iteration of Apple’s smartphone, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

Photo and Video Sub-scores

Looking at its strengths the Z3+ achieved a high score for exposure and contrast, but the results were also impressive for autofocus, texture (detail), noise, and flash, helping to achieve a well-balanced result overall.

Exposure definitely stands out as a strong point for the Xperia Z3+. In our tests, images are mostly well-exposed, but in high-contrast scenes, some clipped highlights and shadows are noticeable, along with the inevitable loss of details in those areas.

In extreme low-light levels (5 lux), exposure inaccuracies are noticeable.

However, while improving on the earlier Z3 model slightly, the Z3+ can’t quite match the iPhone 6 or Galaxy S6 Edge, which were the strongest performers measured in this category to date.

White balance is good in most situations, with vivid yet accurate colors outdoors, and a fairly typical slight yellow cast (although not unpleasant) under tungsten lighting. Some color shading is noticeable at times
