About Sony Xperia XZ3
The Sony Xperia XZ3 feels compact yet substantial in the hand, measuring just 73 mm wide, 158 mm tall and a slim 6 mm thick while tipping the scales at 193 grams. Its single‑SIM tray keeps the profile clean, and the device’s rounded edges blend seamlessly into a polished frame that hints at Sony’s attention to detail. Dominating the front is a 5.98‑inch AM‑OLED panel that stretches from edge to edge, delivering a sharp 1440 × 2880 resolution. The technology behind the screen promises deep blacks, vivid colours and excellent contrast, making everything from photos to videos look striking without sacrificing readability in bright light.
Inside, the phone runs Google Android 9.0 Pie out of the box, providing a modern, fluid interface with the latest security and feature updates. Four gigabytes of RAM sit alongside the processor, aiming to keep multitasking smooth and app launches responsive. Powering the day is a 3330 mAh battery, a capacity chosen to balance the phone’s slender build with enough stamina for typical usage patterns. Together, these elements create a device that aims to offer a premium visual experience in a comfortably sized package, ready for everyday tasks and media consumption alike.
This variant is the Docomo SO‑01L model tailored for Japan’s TD‑LTE network, carrier‑specific firmware that distinguishes it from the unlocked or globally sold versions of the Xperia XZ3. Unlike the other Japanese variants—such as the 801SO and SOV39 models—this device is tied to NTT Docomo’s SO‑01L branding and network optimisation.
Compared with the dual‑SIM EMEA and APAC editions, as well as the 6 GB RAM APAC model, the SO‑01L offers a single‑SIM configuration and retains the standard 4 GB RAM found in the base model, but its primary distinction lies in its Japanese TD‑LTE carrier support and region‑specific software.
