Tonnes of power

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

If you're a current Xperia Z1 owner, best not. Not unless the placement of the USB stopper was REALLY annoying you, as that's the only clear physical upgrade on offer here.For everyone else, though, it's one to consider. Remove all of Sony's desperate cro...
Ultra durable; Great battery life; Good camera; Subtle Android optimisations
Big size isn't for everyone; Not enough to differentiate it from the sixmonth old Z1; Fiddly slots
Able to withstand the elements, the Xperia Z2 is unmatched in terms of durability for a high-end smartphone. Battery life is great and Android optimisations are not overdone....
