We know what was stated in the news body, since Z3 was unveiled, and in the source it does not say remote play will come in 23 October as your title say. It clearly says the phone will be available at that date and the remote play will be unlocked in November.
I want an Android for my next phone, might get this :-)
That's very interesting. That could indicate that PS4 firmware 2.0 is coming before that date.
That is a good enough reason to get one of Sony's Experias to me. The best thing about it is that it is completely free to use the service (only paying the plus, but meh).
i got a Z2, what about me? ):
i mean their specs are nearly identical with the Z3 having 2.5k clock on Cpu and Z2 with 2.3k clock. otherwise exact same cpu, gpu, ram and memory. Z2 is a little thicker too (0.8mm thicker). Why not on the Z2 aswell?
Me too aswell as my work colleagues, iphones being replaced thanks to my convincing power and they all prefer android over ios plus its such a good, smart looking phone. Could an app be made available for our z2's please sony?
