Sony Xperia Z3v Smartphone For Verizon Wireless Review

To get a feel for how graphics performance on the Xperia Z3v compares to other devices, we used GFXBench, which has been one of our standard graphics performance benchmarks for a while. In order to ensure Vsynch and resolution isn’t a limiting factor, we will compare offscreen test results. We also used Futuremark's 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited benchmark.

As we’ve seen with previous benchmark tests thus far, the Xperia Z3v isn’t a chart-topper. In the T Rex Offscreen test, the Xperia Z3v earns a score that puts it in the lower half of the chart. In the Fill Offscreen test, the Xperia Z3v is in the middle of the pack.

Using the Unlimited version of 3DMark Ice Storm, the Xperia Z3v earned eighth place in the Graphics test and tenth place in both the Ice Storm and Physics tests. The phone earned its best score in the GT1 component of the test coming in fifth place.
