If you attach the Z3+ to a PC, you are immediately asked if you want to install Sony’s PC Companion, so you do not have to download it from the website of the manufacturer first. The Micro-USB 2.0 port can be used for data transfers with a PC as well as charging. The connectivity of the Sony Xperia Z3+ does not really leave anything to be desired. However, this piece of plastic does not leave a very sturdy impression. The slot cover is firmly integrated and covers one slot that can accommodate the microSD card as well as the Nano-SIM. The situation is much better at the back of the device. Even light pressure on the screen immediately results in ripples on the screen. Although it cannot really be twisted, these noises sound rather alarming. Twisting attempts seem to be distressing to the device since you can clearly hear creaking. It is nice that the product labels are located on a sheet of paper in the card slot and were not printed onto the chassis. This should not happen on a premium device. However, the gaps are not always very even and the glass does not sit flush with the frame everywhere. Despite its size, the smartphone fits well in the hand. The design of the chassis is actually convenient and quite appealing with the materials hardened mineral glass as well as aluminum. It is currently the only high-end smartphone with these features. The Xperia Z3+ is still protected against dust and humidity (IP68). The USB port is now open and does not have to be protected by a cover anymore.
It will also be annoying for users of the predecessors, since once again, a charging station cannot be used by the successor.
This is unfortunate since the small charging station was actually pretty handy. You will immediately notice the missing docking port. Our review unit is 7.2 millimeters (~0.28 in) high and therefore just 0.1 millimeter slimmer than the Z3. We measured this and noticed that it is actually thicker. The manufacturer also claims that it is slimmer at just 6.9 millimeters (~0.27 in). The Sony Xperia Z3+ is slightly smaller than its predecessor from all sides.
