The Sony Xperia Z2 has a glorious screen
Tonnes of power
A great camera and a beautiful design. It's waterproof too
So it won't conk out when you drop it in the bath
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
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...

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...
Great overall flagship spec, Nice and quick through all elements of the UI, being waterproof and dustproof gives the Z2 an indestructible feel, Screen drastically improved over previous models, Micro SD slot is always welcome on a 16GB device, Battery lif
The flaps never stop being annoying especially when charging the Z2, Overall size of the device is large compared to competition, The Xperia Launcher and bundled apps are a little bit confusing at first, No Qi Wireless charging is a pain
Overall I really liked the Sony Xperia Z2, having been disappointed with previous models I was really pleasantly surprised with the Z2...
Compared to the original Z Tablet the Z2 is thinner, lighter and more powerful but the price has stayed the same. I'm not sure you can ask for more. A larger battery wouldn't have gone amiss but would likely as not have had an impact on the size so I can...

Abstract: One of the more interesting devices to come out of Mobile World Congress this year, the Xperia Z2 was delayed a couple of times and launched after its chief rivals, the HTC One M8 and Samsung Galaxy S5 . However, whilst both HTC and Samsung have performed...
Very fast and powerful, Gorgeous display, Premium design, Waterproof and dustproof, MicroSD support, Feature packed camera, Front-facing stereo speakers, Battery life
Fingerprint and dust magnet, Big bezels above and below screen, Not especially comfortable to hold, 4K recording heats up, Flaps on ports
Committing to a six monthly update cycle means that Sony is improving faster than the rest of the field, and it needed to do that to catch up with the pack. The Xperia Z2 can go head-to-head with any smartphone on the market. This is a beautiful and po...
