Sony has decided the Xperia Z4 is just for Japan but we do get the Xperia Z3+ which is basically identical. Here's our Sony Xperia Z3+ hands-on review.
Instead of getting the Xperia Z4, Sony has announced the Xperia Z3+ for the UK as a 'premium version' of the existing flagship Xperia Z3 smartphone. Here's our Sony Xperia Z3+ review. Also see Best smartphones 2015 and Best Android phones 2015.
Before we launch into the review, we want to explain the situation with the Xperia Z4. This has been announced in Japan for a little while and the Z3+ is the same device but for the rest of world. The two are essentially identical but the model in Japan has DTV (Digital TV) and FeliCa (contactless RFID smart card system).
Differences aside, we are getting the Xperia Z3+ here which is a 'premium addition' and 'evolution to the Xperia Z3 family'. Let's take a look.

As the name suggests, the Z3+ isn't a completely new phone but a tweaked version of the existing flagship (despite being called the Xperia Z4 in Japan). It doesn't mean that it's a larger phablet-sized version which + is often used for in the smartphone world.
Overall, the phone looks and feels just like the existing Xperia Z3 – and that's not a bad thing with the design and build of the Z3 very nice although the square shape isn't for everyone. There are a few small changes worthy of note, though.
First of all, the device is both thinner and lighter. It’s now 6.9mm and 144g down from 7.3mm and 152g making it the thinnest flagship Z series phone (the Z Ultra is thinner). This is good but we could barely notice the difference with the two side-by-side.
