Abstract: The Sony Xperia Z2 is Sony's current range-topper, at least until the Xperia Z3 hits the shops. It gets a 5.2-inch Full HD screen, bettering the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One (M8) when it comes to overall size, although it's also the bulkiest of the trio....
Abstract: The phone's sharp, angular edges aren't quite as pleasant to hold as other Sony phones such as the more rounded Xperia SP , but we were still able to use the Z2 comfortably in one hand without too much trouble. It's once you're holding the Z2 that the dif...

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...

The Sony Xperia terminal Z2 is hard to crack that still remains ahead on points like camera photos with advanced systems like the G lens or the BIONZ processor, but especially with the RS Exmor sensor and the option to record in 4K. The Xiaomi Mi 4 also h...
The Z2 measures 8.2mm thick and weighs 163g, which puts it in the same weight class as the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One M8 – its Android rivals. However, with all of its 5.2-inch display, the Z2 is a sizeable hand-held device – but what makes it pock...
