Forums - Gaming Discussion - I'm thinking about getting an Xperia Z3 for PS4 remote play

Anybody else? I have a cheap windows phone I'm unattached to and I've been wanting a new phone for a while. I was looking into the iPhone 6 but PS4 remote play is definitely a feature I would use a lot. I have a vita but the lack of l2 and r2 make some games unplayable/uncomfortable. Seeing the Xperia Z3 connected to a dualshock 4 looks amazing to me. I hope it'll have the same option the vita has to hook up directly to the PS4 and not just over local wifi, the direct connection is smooth and doesn't drop unless u move too far from the console. Plus the Xperia has a bunch of other cool features and is really a nice premium smartphone. Plus I want the 5.2" option, which is a tad larger than the vitas screen. Can't wait to see a release date from tmobile. Anybody else going to get one?

Shadow of Mordor via remoteplay, that'll be fun.

I got a G3 not too long ago so I'm not in the market, but the Z3 looks nice.



My 8th gen collection

The G3, Lumia 1520 (the 1520 V eventually too) are better premium phones, imo.

As far as I'm aware, though, the Z3 is not directly connected as it doesn't have the proper hardware for such a function, It will connect over shared wifi connections, so network only.



Im waiting to see if we get a Z3 Ultra. Im a phablet man and I love my Z Ultra, if I can get a 6+ inch screen on my remote play capable phone I will be so happy.



I got a Z3 Compact and it's a slick phone. Smooth, fast, with reasonable price and cool features. I reckon it applies for Z3 too.

it seems to be a good phone on its own so good choice i'll say

i've had a z1 compact for a few weeks now and its been really great so far



Why not the Z2, they are bascially identical phones in every freaking way besides the cpu clock speed.

It doesn't have the remote play feature though. The Z3 has new camera lens for better night shots, stronger front facing stereospeakers, and also the highest rating against water and dust.



I'm using the z3 now you won't be disappointed, I got home and threw it straight in my fishtank to test it out and got some very good fish selfies! You can pick the attachment up for £12.50 on amazon and also look to buy the magnetic dock!
