For Verizon Wireless customers who haven't seen a new Sony phone for the last few years, the Xperia Z3v will be a welcome addition to the carrier's lineup. For some users, the fact that the Xperia Z3v offers PS4 RemotePlay capabilities will be enough to seal the deal.

You know how you sometimes look back to the past and wish you could have done something in your life differently?
