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
Overall for me personally it was a closely fought battle between the four phones. The LG and the Sony came out on top in design and software and only really lost out to the OnePlus One and the Oppo Find 7a when it came to cost. In the battle for specs the...
Great design with a good build quality, Fantastically vibrant display, Powerful camera, Good battery life, Water and dust proof
Too large for some, Annoying flaps on sides,Fingerprints show up on darker models
After all of that, what do we really think of the Sony Xperia Z2? It's a solid upgrade on an already great handset. Making it thinner, lighter and with an even bigger and better display than before, making for an even better experience. It's one of the...

The Sony Xperia terminal Z2 is hard to crack that still remains ahead on points like camera photos with advanced systems like the G lens or the BIONZ processor, but especially with the RS Exmor sensor and the option to record in 4K. The Xiaomi Mi 4 also h...
The Z2 measures 8.2mm thick and weighs 163g, which puts it in the same weight class as the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One M8 – its Android rivals. However, with all of its 5.2-inch display, the Z2 is a sizeable hand-held device – but what makes it pock...
iPhone 5s has better storage options, more stylish, iOS better than Android, lighter and thinner
The Xperia Z2 offers expandable storage and a marginally better camera. It is water- and dustproof, offers stereo speakers and has an NFC chip. Moreover later versions of Android are not to be feared. We can't say that you should abandon iPhone and go for...
Abstract: If you're thinking of buying a Full HD Android smartphone, you've probably come across the Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 and the Sony Xperia Z2. These three devices are their respective manufacturer's current flagships (although rumours of new prime versions with...

Abstract: From the depths of your bathtub to immersion in a sudden downpour and swimming with dolphins – your phone can be subjected to liquid on countless occasions and that's before that inebriated moment where your phone ends up in a pint of beer. Whether it's a...
Powerful processor and GPU, Excellent camera with lots of tools, 4K video recording
Not much of a step up from the Z1 in terms of specs, Design similar to its predecessor, At 5.2 inches, it may be too big for fans of compacts
Although not quite the step up from the Z1 that we were expecting, the Z2 is still an immaculate high-end smartphone. Like its predecessor, it may hold more appeal for Sony fans, but its impressive camera, processor and GPU should help sway the sceptics...
Whilst video quality on all three is satisfactory for a smartphone, the lack of optical image stabilisation is telling. With a handset with OIS onboard, the shake would be noticeably less and the overall video would be smoother. Nonetheless out of these t...
