Sony Xperia is the new flagship smartphone from the mobile giant Sony. More is less, is probably what Sony believe in.
Waterproof,dust proof and shatter proof display like all other phones in the Z segment.
Design
Sony Xperia Z2 has retained the two-tone design of its predecessor. The smartphone is graced with 5.2-inch full HD display and comes with a mere 8.2-mm thickness.On the brighter side, the edges of the Sony Xperia Z2 are more curved than its predecessor, which makes the phone better hen it comes to gripping.
The power, volume, and dedicated camera shutter buttons are placed on the right hand side of the phone, which is again dust resistant and waterproof to IP55 and IP58 standards just like the previous models in the segment.
Display
When it comes to display Sony Xperia Z2 scores a lot, especially when compared with its predecessor. The Sony Xperia Z2 comes with a 5.2 inch display, which is slightly larger than the 5-inch screen that graced the Xperia Z1, though the difference is not that noticeable unless you go on measuring the screen for real. Sony has also implemented the IPS LCD technology in the Xperia Z2, as a result of which the display quality has improved by many folds and it also offers great viewing angles compared to the older versions.
Another advantage of using the IPS technology is that the colors do not look over saturated as they do in AMOLED screens offered by some of Sony's rivals, which is another good reason to zero in.
Software
Sony Xperia Z2 runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) along with a touch of customization from Sony , the TimeScape UI, which is quite snappy and minimalistic.
Camera
This is where the real talking starts, it's equipped with a 20.7MP still camera on the rear, capable of shooting 4K videos. It uses a 1/2.3-type Exmor RS CMOS image sensor and G Lens, with Sony's BIONZ image processing engine working behind the scene.
Usage Review
The Sony Xperia Z2 packs Snapdragon 801 MSM8974-AB processor, clocked at 2.3GHz and is backed by ample 3GB of RAM. All this ensures that we have zero lag experience while multitasking and browsing the internet. Processing wise the phone needs less mention as the specs speak volumes.
This smartphone offers connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, USB, Bluetooth v4.0, NFC, and GLONASS, but does not offer LTE.
Sony Xperia Z2 comes with a sturdy 3,200mAh battery backup, which can easily last a day long for medium to heavy range users.
Sound

The Verdict
Xperia Z2 is loaded with quality features but what really makes it a superb phone is the video capturing quality and ofcourse the still ones. Processor is fast and snappy along with decent battery backup.
