Great design, Phenomenal performance, Good camera, Great battery life
Reflective display, Duplication of software, Massive size
The Xperia Z2 does the Sony name proud. It's a great smartphone that does many things really well and hardly does anything poorly. It has a great design, which while large definitely exudes class. Its display is a massive improvement from previous Sony sm...

Premium design, Gorgeous screen that's perfect for movies
Premium price, Big, uncompromising build gets awkward, Bits of bloatware, Only 16GB of storage built in
