The 20.7MP sensor might be the same, but it seems they have changed the (G) lens in front of it.
As a result - the softness at the corners is significantly reduced.

The manual mode photos on GSM Arena look dreadful

Superior Auto looks pretty OK. Manual OK. HDR is awful.
Sony can never get the HDR correct (plus it shouldn't be hidden in the menu).
Do you think the Android L update will improve it?

But then, so does everything else made by Sony.
You sound like a broken record.

That broken record is playing a good tune

and then gsmarena took out the antutu score from their review.
looks like some folks don't really want to see a sony device winning over a samsung. maybe gsmarena is still redoing the test to achieve a lower score and post it with the claim that there was something wrong in the initial test.
or is something wrong with my browser? i can't see the antutu score there anymore.
i don't really understand gsmarena's bias against sony these days. when describing the camera performance of the likes of LG, they can use the words "excellent" and "one of the best" and other superb adjectives. with the z3, they settle to simply describing certain points of the camera's performance and say "OK" for the conclusion. if you compare the z3 and lg shots, it's difficult to understand how the z3 can't deserve the "excellent" description.
@McKinley, please ignore that negative entity.
it thrives on attention. when it was ignored a few posts back, he just left.

Doesn't matter how high the brightness is, contrast ratio is what matters overall. Sure it would be more legible in bright sunlight, but it does lose overall quality. The contrast ratio is lower than Z1 Compact and significantly lower than Z1.
Things are turning out to be the same all over again
sony says that they have this new tech that automatically adjusts contrast under bright light to make the display more legible. we really need to have that tested.

Hahaha ... I've just realized that Antutu benchmark results has been missing from their review.
Maybe they will also replace the Z3C photo samples with the worst photos that they can produce. So that people like you, can't complain about their biased reviews.
I also wonder why some people really like talk s**t about Sony phones. But at the same time they don't do the same thing to other phones.
For example, I have never seen bonovox bashing the S5 because the crappy low light performance or because the video looks like an earthquake when you're moving around.

I dissagree!
Z1C have overblown contrast which result in lost details from midtones to shadows which is not good.
Z3C have superior display than Z1c by a mile and it`s contrast ratio is in the very good range don`t be mistaken by the numbers alone. Having more vivid colors, greater viewing angles and sunlight visibility, higher luminance not to mention unparaleled power comsumption is noting but awesome.
I don`t think this is bad contrast at all.
I didn`t think I would be tempted to switch from Z1C because I don`t like missing metal frame on Z3C but with those specs, battery life and the price which is 150GBP less than Galaxy Alpha and maybe 300 less than iPhone 6... here we go Z3C - you are mine!

There's probably something wrong with the Antutu benchmark, as Z1 Compact users also report about 43-44K scores.
