Japanese smartphone maker Sony has launched its latest flagship in the country today. The Sony Xperia Z3+ sits at the top end of Sony's portfolio and will take on devices like the Samsung Galaxy S6, HTC One M9+ and others. In case you're wondering, this is the same phone that is called the Xperia Z4 in Japan.
