Sony Xperia Z3 Performance Review-This Sony Xperia Z3 Small sports a MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 chipset with a quad-core 2. 5GHz Krait four hundred CPU and Adreno 330 design. Apart from your 2GB of RAM (down from 3GB), it's the very same configuration you'll find around the Sony Xperia Z3, and so we're expecting flagship-grade performance. The latest Operating system 4. 4. 4 KitKat build also needs to provide optimizations to the web browser.

To start with, we'll be tests the CPU in addition to overall benchmarks. Geekbench 3 exams the processor in many different usage scenarios, and even though Z3 Compact isn't going to top the maps, it ranks alongside the existing top flagships. Basemark OS 3 also tracks processor performance and even provides individual results for single-core in addition to multi-core processing. Basemark 2's entire score also variables in graphics performance, which is the reason it's higher.

Moving forward to to graphics performance, again we find the 720p display will the Z3 Compact a reasonable share of likes. The great onscreen numbers shown in the Adreno 330 GPU are brought because of earth in your offscreen tests, where the 1080p resolution evens out with the flagship competition. Basemark Times also runs with its native 720p resolution, which is the reason we see such high numbers

Finally, we come for you to JavaScript and HTML 5 performance where we've Mozilla's Kraken 1. 1 in addition to Rightware's BrowserMark 3. 1. JavaScript performance seems is available in at around center of the pack, though the HTML5-intensive Browsermark test was where the Z3 Compact truly shined.

The Z3 Compact's flagship pedigree really stands out in these performance benchmarks. Not only is the Z3 Compact capable of run with your big boys in every aspect, what's much more notable is just how much better it is actually than other compact flagships. The likes from the HTC One little 2, Samsung Universe S5 mini, in addition to LG G2 little are clearly a step behind your Xperia Z3 Small, and should be looked at as being inside a separate category.
