If you thought the only way to listen to music in superior sound quality is through a High-Resolution Walkman®, headphones or speakers, think again—with just one click on your best smartphone and headphones combination, you can listen to your favourite music playlist in premium sound quality.
Of course, this isn't possible with just any smartphone—you need the Sony Xperia™ Z3.
The secret is Sony's DSEE HX (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) technology, which refines and restores heavily compressed MP3 and AAC files, upscaling your low-res songs to near high-resolution sound quality.
Besides the premium sound quality, here are a few more noteworthy features of this Sony smartphone:
Waterproof: With an IP65/68 rating, the Xperia™ Z3 can last for up to 30 minutes in fresh water, and you can dive as deep as 5 feet.
Takes stunning images: With Sony's Exmor RS® mobile sensor and the first ISO 12800 in a smartphone, this phone will take your photos to a whole new level.
Gaming: The only smartphone with PS4™ Remote Play.
Exceptional battery life: Estimated usage time of two days.
One-touch connectivity: Play music from the Xperia™ Z3 on any NFC-enabled speaker or headset, with one-touch connectivity.
