Sony Xperia XZ3 — Sony’s First OLED Flagship That Changed Everything

The Sony Xperia XZ3 is one of the most memorable smartphones Sony has ever produced, announced at IFA 2018 in August and released in October of the same year. It made history as Sony’s first smartphone to feature a curved OLED display, marking a major turning point in Sony’s mobile design philosophy.

The centerpiece of the Xperia XZ3 is its stunning Bravia OLED screen technology — a first for Sony mobile — paired with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. The 6.0-inch display delivers a sharp 1440 x 2880 pixel resolution at 537 ppi, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass for added durability.

On the camera side, the Xperia XZ3 sports a single 19-megapixel Motion Eye rear camera with PDAF, laser autofocus, 960fps slow-motion recording, and 4K HDR video capability, alongside a 13-megapixel front camera with a wide f/1.9 aperture for bright, detailed selfies.

A standout software feature is Side Sense — a clever gesture system that lets you tap or swipe the curved edges of the display to activate shortcuts and controls, making one-handed use far more comfortable.

The phone runs on Android 9.0 Pie out of the box, with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage expandable via microSD up to 512GB. It also supports dual SIM, NFC, USB OTG, and 4G LTE connectivity. A 3300mAh battery keeps the phone running throughout the day, backed by Qnovo adaptive charging technology to extend long-term battery health.

Originally launched at $899, the Sony Xperia XZ3 remains a collector’s favorite for Sony enthusiasts who appreciate premium build quality, stunning audio, and a truly unique smartphone experience.
