 Hey, this is Jake with The Verge and this is the Xperia Z3V. This is a new variant of the Xperia Z3 that's been designed for Verizon. There are some small design changes. Most notably you'll see the sides are no longer all metal. It's sort of a soft touch plastic with instead a metal band along each side. It's still a really nice design though. It feels really nice. Same 5.2 inch display. The battery is very slightly larger in this model at 3200 milliamp hours. It's still supposed to last over a day which is one of the defining features of the Z3. The really big change for the Verizon model is that it now supports Qi wireless charging which will make it really easy to charge this thing. Otherwise this is basically the Z3 that you already know and that includes the fact that it's waterproof and that it can stream PS4 games as long as you're in your home. Separately Sony is selling a mount that allows you to attach this phone to a PS4 controller. There's no technology in it. It's literally just a suction cup that you stick it onto. Sony doesn't have anything to say about the Z3 Compact coming to Verizon but for now the Z3 V is going to be available on October 23rd for $199.99 on a two year contract. It will be available in black and white.
