The Sony Xperia Z2 has a glorious screen
Tonnes of power

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

Plenty of power, solid battery life, premium build and looks, good camera performance, waterproofing
Size, colour saturation excess, uncomfortable to hold, Sony bloat software, vibration alert is over the top
The Sony Xperia Z2 has the same design downfall that the Z1 did: this is a big device and it's less comfortable to hold than its rivals. That's something we feel detracts from the day-to-day experience because a smaller body design could have housed...

Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body. ...
Accurate display, Camera features and image quality, More than enough power
User interface has issues, Design hasn't changed much, Too much space above and below display
The Z2 is a fantastic smartphone, with a premium look and feel, great screen and a camera that is above and beyond a lot of the competition.Where things get difficult is if we start asking ourselves if it's the smartphone you should buy. As part of the 'B...

Solid build quality, lovely screen, very powerful processor, waterproof and dust resistant, terrific camera
Blocky styling won't be for everyone, eats up during heavy use
The price is high, but the build quality is excellent and there are an awful lot of features packed into the Xperia Z2. Its camera is one of the very best and its performance easily matches, if not exceeds its high-end rivals. It's very ...
