Will the Sony Xperia XZ3 support all apps in 2026?

Most apps (Facebook, Instagram, banking apps) will still work well with Android 10, but some of the latest games may require a newer operating system.

How does the screen quality compare to today's phones?

The XZ3's QHD+ OLED display is still top-notch, offering deep blacks and vibrant colors that compete even with today's mid-range phones.

Does the phone have a headphone jack?

No, the Xperia XZ3 lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack. You'll need to use a USB-C adapter or Bluetooth headphones.

Does the battery last a full day?

With today's intensive usage, the 3300 mAh battery may require an additional charge during the day, especially if the screen brightness is at maximum.

Is this phone waterproof?

Yes, the device has an IP65/IP68 rating, meaning it's resistant to splashes and short submersion in water, but on a used device, the seals may no longer function 100%.

Does the camera still take good pictures?

In good lighting, the 19MP Motion Eye camera takes very detailed photos. However, it lacks modern additional lenses like ultra-wide or optical zoom.
