The editors didn't like
Still bezel-heavy
Fingerprint scanner placement terrible
Camera not working yet
Camera not as good as rivals
Lots of duplicate apps
The Xperia XZ2 has a dated look
Despite Sony's redesign. Software features
Such as 3D face scanning
Aren't very useful. The placement of the fingerprint sensor makes it too easy to press the camera lens instead
Camera app a bit muddled
Battery life isn't the best
No 3.5mm jack
Camera still not as good as the competition
No headphone jack
Design not as desirable as rivals
Dynamic Vibration a gimmick
'Only' full HD display
Bezels are pronounced
3D Creator tool is janky
Fingerprint magnet
Apps sometimes force close
Camera app can be slow
Buggy
Features don't stand out
Design is flawed
Design is much bulkier and heavier than previous versions
Pricey
Rating
The fingerprint sesnor is too far down the back of the smartphone your finger naturally rests across the camera lens
Making it smudgy
The screen suffers from glare in bright light and both the screen and the back of the handset attract fingerprint marks
Great design refresh, Excellent display, Plenty of power, MicroSD card slot, Some good video capture options (4K HDR)
Camera app a bit muddled, Battery life isn't the best, No 3.5mm jack

Still bezel-heavy, Fingerprint scanner placement terrible, Camera not working yet
The Sony Xperia XZ2 has many elements we've wanted to see for years: a bold new design, powerful innards and innovation inside. However, it's still got a bezel-heavy front, despite packing the new 18:9 screen, and some of the design choices are a touch qu...

Nobody is going to mistake either of these phones for a groundbreaking experimental design: even after a revamp the XZ2 still feels dated, while Apple has stuck with virtually the same design since 2014. (If you want a modern-looking iPhone, go for the iP...

Sony has impressed us before with their smartphones, but after losing its way a little with the demise of the Z Series, the XZ2 looks like a step in the right direction for those who put sound and vision first in a smartphone.The HDR functionality is cert...
We waited so long for Sony to bring a new design and although the firm has switched to an 18:9 screen, we're miffed by the chunky and heavy design that has a fingerprint scanner and power button in awkward places. And dropped the headphone jack!The core s...

Bold, refreshing new design, Powerful hardware spec, 4K, HDR video capture, Good battery life, 1080p super slow-mo footage
Bezels are pronounced, 3D Creator tool is janky, Fingerprint magnet
We're not sure whether the Xperia XZ2 is going to be underrated this year, or a run-away sleeper hit for Sony. The phone seemingly delivers on every hardware front and even comes packing some world-first exclusive features to help separate it from the cro...
