The editors didn't like
In contrast
It's basically all software. Again. The skin Sony puts on just doesn't work very well. It slows things down
It makes things look worse
And it's less intuitive to use than stock Android. In fact
If this thing was a Nexus device and ran stoc
A bit bulky
Slightly oversaturated screen
Average speakers
Low benchmarks
Same design format for about 2 years
Same UI for 2 years
Could be brighter
Big headphones coming out of the ears
A bit of overheating
Lots of bloatware
It's expensive
Its regular autofocus adjustments during shooting can spoil videos
And the camera resolution is throttled when using the full automatic mode
Some minor bugs
No option for 32GB
20.7 MP photo option only available in Manual Mode
Weak speakers
Still doesn't work in the rain
That SIM card flap
Blocky design and large size make it a tad unwieldy to hold
A few software features look obnoxious No exciting
Killer feature
The display is dim
The earphone is not a noise-cancelling model
Camera module placement is not ideal
Sometimes it is blocked by your fingers
Poor signal reception for both cellular and Wi-fi connections
Now
I can partly understand why the Sony Xperi
Software inconsistent
Somewhat bloaty
Endurance doesn't quite live up to battery capacity
Middling voice
Speaker quality
Occasional white balance inaccuracies indoors. Outdoors
A slight blue tint is noticeable in certain images
Slight color shading noticeable with tungsten lighting
Noticeable fringing
Ringing and maze artifacts
Camera software could still use some tweaking. A few design and software annoyances. Highend competitors offer similarly wellrounded packages.
All in all small changes compared to the predecessor

Abstract: Sony's latest flagship Xperia Z2 has a lot in common with the outgoing Z1 - in fact, it's also hard to distinguish between them even when kept side-by-side. Instead, most of the improvements to the new phone are hidden away - it is ever so slightly larger...
Great design, Phenomenal performance, Good camera, Great battery life
Reflective display, Duplication of software, Massive size
The Xperia Z2 does the Sony name proud. It's a great smartphone that does many things really well and hardly does anything poorly. It has a great design, which while large definitely exudes class. Its display is a massive improvement from previous Sony sm...

Me with my Sony Xperia Z2I've been to the Sony stores to play with the newer Z3, and in my initial hands-on impression, this Sony Xperia Z2 I've been using is still holding up very well. Very well indeed. It is by no means yesterday's news!What I LikeAwes...
Really good camera even without an OIS, Dedicated camera button, Stereo front speakers, Great battery life, Really good keyboard
Back panel shows scratches after only a week of use. My advice is to get a set of screen protectors that covers both sides, The power button is unnecessarily hard, Phone has had a few hangups (but it's nothing compared to S5). Hope the software updates wi

Premium design, Gorgeous screen that's perfect for movies
Premium price, Big, uncompromising build gets awkward, Bits of bloatware, Only 16GB of storage built in
Of the 2014 flagships we've seen so far, the Xperia Z2 is the connoisseur's choice. This is a true converged gadget that's capable of taking truly brilliant photos and playing videos at cinephile quality, but one where practicality has taken a backseat.So...
