The Sony Xperia Z2 has a glorious screen
Tonnes of power
A great camera and a beautiful design. It's waterproof too

Great build quality
Excellent battery life capable of achieving at least a day of life and well into a second day
Superb camera
With great low-light support and 4K UHD video capture
Fun creative camera effects which go beyond what most smartphone manu
The editors didn't like
Chunky design
Fiddly UI in places
Button placement can be pretty frustrating
Size and shape makes the phone hard to hold
Glass back is a worry
”Superior Auto” camera mode is far from it
It often thinks of surfaces as slip ‘n slides
Can be unwieldy
Glass front and rear durable but remains questionable
Overheating concerns while recording video
Bundled Sony apps overlap with one another to the point of redundancy
Big in size
It's expensive
Its regular autofocus adjustments during shooting can spoil videos
And the camera resolution is throttled when using the full automatic mode
The rectangular size can still be a little awkward to hold
Especially for smaller hands
Camera's manual mode needs some actual manual control

Overall, the thing that left the biggest impression on us was the display. The colours look rich and vibrant and complement the otherwise solid build of the handset. It's still on the large side, however, and with devices like the LG G2 offering the same...

camera still needs work, earpiece muffled and not very loud
The Xperia Z2 is an incremental upgrade from the Z1. With it, Sony delivers their best smartphone to date and fixes most of the Z1's issues. Not all of them, but nearly. And that proves that they listen and work on delivering us, the buyers, better and be...

Abstract: Measuring just 8.2mm thick, Sony mobile fans will be pleased to hear that the Xperia Z2 has a slightly slimmer design but a bigger 5.2in LED display compared to its predecessor, the 5in Xperia Z1 ....
Here's a conundrum: is it acceptable to release a new top-end phone just months after the last flagship if the new version is markedly better? That's what Sony has done: just five months have passed since it launched the Xperia Z1, and yet here we are at ...
The Z2 is a clear improvement over the last model - the screen is visibly better, the processor is faster and the software feels like a clear improvement over the previous version. There's no denying that this is a great phone.Where the Z2 stumbles is in...
Abstract: Sony 's Xperia Z1 came very close to being up there with the very best of smartphones in 2013, but was let down by a select few features that stopped it being truly great. Now we have the Xperia Z2 and with it, Sony appears to have addressed every major p...
Slim, waterproof chassis, Fantastic screen, Great battery life
Large bezel, Lots of bloatware
The Z2 tablet is a marked improvement over the original, it's powerful, light and inexplicably thin. Where it falters is in the design, not in terms of how it looks but more in how functional it is.The Z2 tablet might just be too wide for some - the bezel...
