Can I use all the roms and stash for z3 on the z3+?
Can I install xposed framework on z3 plus with Lollipop?
No for the first question as the chipset is different.
Yes for second question.
It's a great phone, the speakers and battery life are among the best, just don't get the T-Mobile USA version, get the international version as it has better build quality consistency.
I would strongly recommend the original Z3 over the Z3+
Snapdragon 810 is a battery hog. The 801 is far more power efficient and in almost all real-world situations runs faster than the 810 because it is much harder to driver it into thermal throttling.

I think so too. My Xperia Z2 got broken. I decided to go for original Z3. I even wanted another Z2. But definitely not a Z3+
I will avoid S810.

hi,
I own an Xperia TX and was thinking of upgrading to the latest Xperia phone but I still haven't made up my mind.
For me the TX is a good phone but slow. Flicking through apps is not as quick as I would like and I was wondering is the Z3 much quicker ? The screen I have is 720p and is good enough for me but I do like 1080p on my laptop. Lastly the thing that gets me is the battery on the TX, I use the phone a lot for video and browsing and I barely scrap though a day, minding my use is a chore. Would the upgrade be much of a boost ?

Quad Code 2.5GHz
+ 3GB RAM on Snapdragon 801
means
Faster Browsing
Smoother Gaming
and improvement in all aspects
+ High density FHD Display
+ Stereo Speakers & NC
and ...
all these means do it upgrade to Z3 :good:
Went from Z2 to Z3. Upgrade is not phenomenal, but in my opinion, worth it.
Yeah the Z2 is only out 6 months. My Xperia TX is kinda slow... was the Z2 ever slow when you had lots of apps running and jumping from one to the next ?
My Xperia TX is :
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8260A - Dual core, 1500 MHz, Krait
1024 MB RAM
720 x 1280 pixels - 319 ppi

Go for the upgrade. there's more than enough of new things in the Z3 compared to the TX. You'll love the phone.
The biggest thing for general snappiness is RAM. The difference between 1Gb and 2Gb is night and day
2Gb to 3Gb is not gonna be quite so dramatic so (from a memory perspective) I wouldn't think Z2 to Z3 would feel all that different but since the TX is only 1Gb, you'll definitely notice the difference if you upgrade.

Sounds like a computer. I do like my TX, it does everything I want it to do but I could never pick the phone up and do exactly what I wanted to do in my head - I would have to wait till it unclogs itself from whatever is in memory.
Do you think 3GB is enough ? I use a lot of YouTube, Twitter, Chrome, email app, and its never done with updates.
Hell yeah, 3Gb is a ****load of ram for a phone. My PC is only running 4Gb and it's not even very old.
My Nexus 5 is 2Gb and I never see any lag or hesitation at all. It's blazing. It is running vanilla android but even if the Xperia overlay is a memory hog (which there is no evidence to suggest it is) 3Gb will be plenty.
I just checked out my phone company and they are already offering the Xperia Z3 Compact for €459.99. The only thing is that they don't do colours and its black only. I was looking for white, damn.
I own a IPOD Touch 32GB and I take it out with me when I'm cycling. The only thing is that it is not waterproof and its never done switching itself on and off again(kinda broke?). I wonder if you could bring the Xperia Z3 Compact out on a cycle. I have an arm band for running with the Ipod Touch, not sure if I could bring Z3c out running either ? If so I could dump my IPod Touch and instead just buy a bit SDCard.
With the Z4 close at hand.
I've been put off a bit from the Z series by Sony's 6 month replacement schedule and how long they support their devices.

however u can find some devices that die at release but OEMs have to support their device at least for 18months
and it s true for Flagships like Z, Z1, Z2, Z3 & so on...
:good:
Wait for the Z4 or new HTC M9. The CPU generation is completely different vs Z1/Z2/Z3 which have a similar CPU. Also with the Z4 it is said Sony will switch to 1 year release cycles so the Z4 should get much better support.

But you do hear about heating issues concerning the Snapdragon 810, which seems to the be the hardware of choice for a number of forthcoming devices.
They are making "officially" changes for Samsung, after they threatened to switch to the new 64bit Exynos for the entire production run of the S6. Also it's not known how bad it is (heat increase), it could be minor increase from the 805, as Sony, HTC, LG are not complaining and LG and HTC both stated its not an issue.

That's just a hoax by Samsung. Shame on them. LG has confirmed that Snap810 doesn't have any heating issues. Samsung came up with that so they can use exynos on the upcoming S6. Truly shame on them
Well it's partly true, though Samsung obviously blew it out of proportion. What LG said was they worked "around" it (heat issue) meaning it was not bad, probably a minor increase from previous generation.
Currently using a Galaxy S4 and want to change with a nice phone (duh). There is one question I'm asking - is it a good idea to get a phone with Snapdragon 801/805 instead of 810? If so, which would you recommend - Xperia Z3 or Moto X 2014? I'm worried that if I get them, in a year or two, some apps will only support 64 bit chips.

It's going to be a long time before anything but perhaps the most intense games require 64 bit over 32 bit.
Of those 2, the Xperia Z3 is definitely the better phone than the Moto X. The Moto X has its qualities, but the Z3 has the dual speakers, waterpfoofness, expandable storage, and like twice the battery life.

Do you think I should go and get the Z3 or wait for the Z4 (which we barely have news on)?

Personally I would go ahead with the Z3. Sony's Xperia Z line is rather iterative; the changes between successive models are pretty gradual. It is thought that the only major upgrade will be to the GPU from Adreno 330 to 430, according to leaked benchmarks. It is doubted that there will be any bump in screen technology, size or resolution.
Ultimately, your call.
I have HTC One M7 now planning to change and get other brand phone my previous all phone are Htc any body suggest what can i get or better 4 me.

Now looking at the X, I'm actually tempted to go and buy the N6, both the N6 and Z3 have got similar pricing where I live, but it'll be another week or two for me to decide on which phone to get.
Anyway, thanks for your guys' opinions.
I have a few questions as i am considering getting it:
!) Does this phone now come with the revised Snapdragon 810
2) How is the performance and heat after the adroid 5.1.1 update?
3) How much faster is it compared to the Z3 Compact?
4) I can get both this and the Z3 Compact for the same price (£26 a month), which one should i go for and which would be better for the next 2 years
Thanks

1 i think it doesnt use the revised revision
2. Performance is a little lower but less heat
3.much faster even with throttling
4. Lg gflex 2 of course!!
Does anyone knows which revision of a S810 processor using Xperia Z5/C/P ?
I think I read somewhere that it was V2.1 but don't hold me to it lol
MSM8994, not sure that helps
So, Qualcomm answered to me by Twitter yesterday about CPU verison, our correspondence is in attachment.
So now we can be 100% sure that Z5 series using 2.1 version.
It's just software which makes the s810 v2.1 ...hardware is the same like when it came out...it's just that the software/drivers of s810 are updated so it I'd now called v2.1

I'm pretty sure it uses software / firmware update 2.1 (theoretically, any / all S810 processors could be updated to this version to reduce heat damage (assuming they haven't already burnt themselves up) if the hardware manufactures (of the devices in which they are used) roll out updates to their devices with an included 2.1 update for the chip. Really, there's no reason not to (other than laziness or extreme cheapness) I assume you ask because you are concerned about the overheating issue plaguing the s810. The real solution to which is a better heatsink (thankfully employed in the xperia z5 and xperia z5 premium) unfortunately, the z5 compact is a bit too small for the larger heatsink used in the two larger devices and so still heats up more than the z5 / z5 premium, but still not badly enough to affect overall performance (still I'm getting the standard size to avoid heat issues, even though I would prefer a more pocketable / thumb-able device).
V2.1 is what's in the Flex 2, M9, Z3+ and every other SD810 retail release phones!

Also placement matters and Sony said they got the placement wrong I the z3+ and the camera module used since the z2 ran at high temp too so that did not help
