LG G3 vs Sony Xperia Z3 Camera Comparison: The Final Showdown

6 Comments

By Rich W Woods

Over the last week and a half, I have been spending a lot of time with the Sony Xperia Z3 and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. One thing that has blown me away with both of these phones is the amazing 20.7 MP camera. In fact, the Sony Xperia Z3 even outperformed the Nokia Lumia 1020 in low light comparisons.

The scope of this review will be to compare the camera of the Sony Xperia Z3 to the camera of the LG G3. While the camera on the Sony Xperia Z3 is fantastic, the 13 MP camera on the LG G3 is pretty amazing as well with the laser focusing. I’m pretty excited to look at these side by side.

The Sony Xperia Z3v is has come to Verizon this week and the Sony Xperia Z3 is coming to T-Mobile on October 29, so as always, we compare the camera to all of its competing cameras.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is the gold standard of smart phone cameras. It has a 41 MP Pureview camera with a Carl Zeiss lens, a real xenon flash, and support for taking RAW photos. While the Nokia Lumia 1020 was released almost a year and a half ago in July, 2013, it is one of few smart phones released that long ago that remain relevant.

Sony Xperia Z3 vs Sony Xperia Z3 Compact: Does Size Matter?

Yesterday, the Sony Xperia Z3v was made available on Verizon. On October 29, the Sony Xperia Z3 will be made available on T-Mobile. Somehow, in all that, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is lost. Although there is an unlocked version available from Sony’s web site, it won’t be available from any carriers and that’s the reason why Sony has never really taken off in the United States.

After spending the last week with both the Sony Xperia Z3 and Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, I have fell in love with both of these phones. They are both super fast, beautifully designed, and they take fantastic photos; however, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact lacks a couple of the specs of the Sony Xperia Z3.

Sony Xperia Z3 vs HTC One M8 Camera Comparison: Megapixels and Ultrapixels

Today, the Sony Xperia Z3v is being released for Verizon and on October 29, the Sony Xperia Z3 will be released for T-Mobile. Sony is widely renowned as one of the best handset manufacturers in the world. We don’t see a whole lot of them here in the United States because they rarely show up with any carriers. The Xperia Z and Z1 were available with T-Mobile and the Xperia Z2 tablet was available with Verizon, but that’s it. This time will be different.

It only makes sense to compare the Sony Xperia Z3 to competing handsets. So far, we’ve compared the Sony Xperia Z3 to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the OnePlus One, and we’ve compared the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact to the iPhone 6. The scope of this review will be to compare the Sony Xperia Z3 to the HTC One M8.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs Sony Xperia Z3 Camera Comparison: The Best of the Best

There are two brand new phones out there. Last Wednesday, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 came to AT&T. Later this week, the Sony Xperia Z3 will be coming to T-Mobile and the Sony Xperia Z3v will be coming to Verizon. While it is widely known that Samsung doesn’t make the best phones, but they do have fantastic cameras.

We can go a little into which phone is better overall. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has an AMOLED display, but it is incredibly bloated with 67 preinstalled apps and five pages of Settings. It’s just a mess coming right out of the box. The Xperia Z3 is the exact opposite. Sony’s flagship is simply a pleasure to use.

If you are a member of the OnePlus community, you know that it is one of the most frequently asked questions in the OnePlus forums. Which one is better? The Sony Xperia Z3 or the OnePlus One. As we do a lot of camera comparisons here, this is the most popularly demanded camera comparison to date, so here it is.

Both the OnePlus One and the Sony Xperia Z3 have amazing cameras. While the Sony Xperia Z3 is 20.7 MP, the OnePlus One is 13 MP and it supports RAW photos. On the other hand, the Sony Xperia Z3 has a physical camera button, one feature that I personally love on phones. The OnePlus One has a 5 MP front camera while the Sony Xperia Z3 has a 2.2 MP front camera. Clearly, both cameras are better in different ways.
