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

Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body. ...

Much improved, gorgeous screen, Beautiful water-resistant Sony design, Noise cancellation
Still doesn't work in the rain, That SIM card flap
Sony’s Xperia Z2 smartphone isn’t a massive leap over the Xperia Z1, unsurprising given the short length of time between them, but it does iron out the creases. The 5.2-inch screen is only a mite larger, but it’s also beautifully vibrant, while the extra camera feat...
