The Xperia Z3+ will compete with LG G4, Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9+. LG G4 is currently available for Rs. 45,500; Samsung Galaxy S6 at Rs. 39,000 and HTC One M9+ for Rs. 50,000. Assuming that Xperia Z3+ will be available at Rs. 50,000 as the price announced today is its MRP, still it is far more expensive than LG G4 and Galaxy S6. The Xperia Z3+ is powerful and good-looking premium device and in our opinion it should have been in the range of Rs. 40,000 to have greater impact in the Indian market, which is very price-conscious.
