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

The smartphone has all-but killed off compact cameras and camcorders out of existence in the past few years. But, far from resting on their laurels, smartphone cameras are getting better and better and better.

Sony Xperia XZ2 review
It's no secret that Sony is undergoing some substantial changes, with more likely still ahead on the company roadmap. While we can't exactly say for sure how the recently-announced, upcoming CEO change will trickle down to other management positions, as well as products and design directions in...
Like many other people, we have complained over the past few years about Sony's stale smartphone designs. We were concerned that the company just wasn't being smart about what consumers wanted.
