Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact
The Z1 Compact example showed the demand for powerful smartphones with a small screen size, so the compact version of the Xperia Z3 will be released simultaneously with the “big brother”. Both devices received a new level of protection against water and dust in accordance with the IP68 standard, an optimized energy saving system that provides up to two days of battery life, DSEE HX technology to improve the quality of audio content playback and, for the first time in the world, the integrated Remote Play service for PlayStation 4.
The external differences are in rounded aluminum frames and reduced to 7.3 mm thick case on the Xperia Z3, while the Z3 Compact has these frames plastic and translucent, but the back panel, unlike the previous model, is now also made of tempered glass. As for colors, in addition to the usual black and white, Z3 will be released in copper and silver-green versions, and Z3 Compact will also be orange and mint-green.

A distinctive feature of the Xperia E3 is the Shake to Start technology, which allows you to start any application just by shaking the phone.

SmartWatch 3 and SmartBand Talk
Two new devices will appear in the SmartWear wearable electronics lineup. The new version of "smart" watches from Sony is now running the operating system Android Wear, not so long ago presented by Google. The watch has a built-in microphone, gyroscope, accelerometer, compass and GPS module, as well as protected from water and dust in accordance with the standard IP68. The updated 1.6-inch display has a resolution of 320x320 pixels, and 4 GB of internal memory allows you to use the watch autonomously, for example - in the morning run. The Lifelog app will track your moves even if you leave your smartphone at home. You can display any data on the clock screen, whether it is a weather forecast, the latest news or messages from friends, and you do not need to enter any data manually - Android Wear perfectly understands voice commands.
The SmartBand lifelog bracelet also did not stay aside from the updates - it received a curved e-ink display, a built-in accelerometer and altimeter, a microphone and a speaker. The display can be used to quickly access Lifelog statistics or display a clock on it. The microphone allows you to use voice commands to control your smartphone, and the sensors provide the most accurate collection of data on physical activity, distance traveled and altitude reached (if you are, for example, keen on mountaineering). Among other things, SmartBand now has a higher class of protection - IP68, which is very important for lovers of an active lifestyle.
Very impressive announcements, is not it? And if updates of the flagship smartphones, as it usually happens in the fall, are mostly cosmetic, the appearance of the compact tablet and the Android Wear watch I, personally, are very pleased, and the improved SmartBand takes into account all the wishes that have arisen during the existence of the first model .
