Sony Xperia XZ2 H8296 6GB 64GB
The Sony Xperia XZ2 (H8296) is the just-released phone from Sony, and its big on display, performance and photographic quality.
A Big, Bold Display
The display on the Sony Xperia XZ2 is clear and easy to read, with a 5.7-inch IPS LCD touch display and top-notch screen resolution: 1080 x 2160p with 424ppi pixel density.
A Top Performer
The Sony Xperia XZ2 promises powerful multimedia, gaming and graphics performance, certainly the equal of many of the top smartphones on the market. This is made possible by a winning combination of Sony Triluminos and X-Reality Engine tech, and built-in Adreno 630 GPU and Qualcomm Snapdragon 845.
Feature Packed Cameras
Like any premium model, the X72 has a lot to live up to in the camera department and it doesn't disappoint with a powerful blend of quality cameras front and rear. The rear Motion Eye camera is a stunner, boasting a 19 MP sensor with predictive phase detection and Electronic Image Stabilization, particularly good for recording high-quality 4K video.
Sensational S-Force Sound
The Sony Xperia XZ2 doesn't just look good - it sounds good too! In this day and age when we're creating mini-movies on our smartphones, we need great audio to partner with the footage we shoot. The S-Force Front Surround stereo speakers on the Sony Xperia XZ2 deliver exceptional audio, certainly some of the best you'll hear in any smartphone.
Quick Charge Battery
The 3,180 mAh battery is big enough to provide ongoing use and can be quickly topped up with Quick Charge 3.0.

Sony Xperia XZ2 review
There’s no doubt that the Sony Xperia XZ2 is easily Sony’s best phone to date. But as is so often the case with Sony’s handsets, its shortcomings are only emphasised by its competition’s ability to do that little bit better. While the Xperia XZ2 gets a thumbs-up for its improved design, powerful performance and great battery life, its camera performance puts its emphasis in the wrong place for me. I’m all for the 4K HDR innovation, but nailing the core stuff is arguably more important, and its photos still need work. Its screen struggles to match up to the likes of the Galaxy S9 too, and while it’s plenty bright enough and handles colour well, we’d like a little more sharpness and detail when viewing video. Despite that, it’s fair to say that for the first time in a little while, Sony has put itself in the running for a spot in your pocket, by offering a powerful, good-looking phone with plenty of promise. It might not be king of the kennel right now, but this Android underdog could finally be starting to biting back.- Much-improved design
- 4K HDR video
- Powerful performance
- Camera still not as good as the competition
- No headphone jack

Sony Xperia XZ2
The Xperia XZ2 is a key release for Sony that aspires to revitalise the company's smartphone image. In many ways, the Xperia XZ2 is a welcome change in the sea of monotony that Sony's smartphone division has released over the past few years.- Pretty design
- Solid performance
- Powerful speakers
- Camera not as good as rivals
- Lots of duplicate apps
Sony Xperia XZ2 review: the sleeper hit of 2018?
So the Sony Xperia XZ2 is here, fully unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2018 , and after spending a good portion of the time since testing the phone, it is evident that it is a competitive match for 2018's other Android flagships.- 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
The Xperia XZ2 has a number of desirable characteristics, but it's far from perfect. All that glass looks and feels beautiful, even if the fingerprint reader placement is a little off. The main camera takes pictures rich in detail and color.
The Sony Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact were launched at Mobile World Congress 2018 earlier this year. With an all-new design and top-end features, Sony's new flagship devices mark a stark departure aesthetically and ergonomically from its trademark blocky "OmniBalance" form-factor.
Sony Xperia XZ2 review: Better than the Galaxy S9?
Sony isn't afraid to push boundaries when it comes to its smartphones. IP-rated waterproofing, 4K displays, 960fps video capture and gigabit download speeds are just a few of the many innovations that Sony can claim to have introduced to the market – and there's another on the way.- Excellent new design
- Superb performance
- Long-lasting battery life
- Framerate issues with 4K HDR recording
Sony Xperia XZ2 review
The Sony Xperia XZ2 is the Japanese firm's most recent flagship handset, but it refuses to follow in the footsteps of many of this year's top-tier smartphones.- Full day of life from a single charge
- Great sound quality
- Feature-packed camera
- Design not as desirable as rivals
- Dynamic Vibration a gimmick
- 'Only' full HD display
HDR movies and TV shows The Sony Xperia XZ2 has one of the largest screens around. It measures 5.7" and has Full HD+ resolution. The display is of the new longer (18:9) types, which gives extra rows of pixels, so that you do less scrolling (2160 x 1080 pixels).
