IP (Ingress Protection) rating
IP65/IP68 – what does it mean? IP rating is a test certification to
measure a device’s resistance levels to both dust and water. The first
digit in the two-digit IP rating indicates the level of protection
against solid objects, including tiny dust particles. The second digit
indicates how resistant the device is to water.

Sony Xperia Z3 vs Sony Xperia Z2: What are the differences?
Not content with one flagship each year,
Sony has released two and at first glance its new one, the Sony Xperia
Z3, doesn’t look a whole lot different from its old one, the Xperia Z2.
But while the change is definitely
evolutionary rather than revolutionary it’s still significant. Read on
for a run-down off all the differences.
Design
The Sony Xperia Z2 has a slim 146.8 x
73.3 x 8.2mm build and weighs 163g. A glass back and metal frame give it
a premium look and it has flat edges and angular corners.
The Sony Xperia Z3 comes in at 146 x 72 x
7.3mm and 152g, so it’s even slimmer and lighter. Like the Xperia Z2 it
has a glass back and metal frame, but this time the edges are slightly
rounded, while the corners have a nylon covering to protect them from
scrapes and falls.
The Sony Xperia Z3 is also a little more water and dust resistant than
its predecessor, with an IP68 certification, while the Z2 is IP58
Certified, though unless you plan to go swimming with your phone it
won’t make much difference, as both handsets can survive getting
splashed or rained on.
Similar Screen
There’s not much change when it comes to
the screen. Both the Sony Xperia Z3 and the Xperia Z2 have a 5.2 inch
1080 x 1920 IPS LCD display with a pixel density of 424 pixels per inch.
However the Sony Xperia Z3 is a lot
brighter than the Z2, as it’s capable of reaching up to 600 nits of
brightness, while the Z2 can only reach around 460 nits. That difference
not only makes it easier to use in direct sunlight but also makes
images far more vibrant.
But overall the screen isn’t enormously better and the Xperia Z2 still has a very good display.
Power and Performance
With a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801
processor and 3GB of RAM the Sony Xperia Z3 is certainly powerful but
it’s only marginally more powerful than the Xperia Z2, which itself has a
2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor and 3GB of RAM. In practice
the difference is minor enough that you’re not likely to notice it and
both phones deliver almost impeccable performance.
Camera
On the face of it the two handset’s
cameras seem pretty similar, as they both have a 20.7 megapixel sensor, a
2.2 megapixel front-facing snapper and can shoot 2160p video at 30fps
or in 1080p at 60fps.
However the Sony Xperia Z3 uses a 25mm
wide-angle lens, so you can fit more in to your shots. It also has a
higher ISO sensitivity, as it can shoot in 1280, which should make a big
difference in poor lighting.
Plus it’s better able to counter camera
shake when shooting video than the Xperia Z2 and it includes a handful
of new shooting modes, such as ‘Face in’ which uses both cameras at once
so that you can capture both an event and your reaction to it.
So it’s not a huge improvement overall but the Z3 camera features lots of little improvements.
