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: The Sony Xperia XZ2 is a good phone overshadowed by better ones

The Sony Xperia XZ2 is a solid phone, but we prefer the Huawei P20 Pro or the Samsung Galaxy S9. Like the XZ before it, the Xperia XZ2 will have a tough time competing with the excellent Huawei P20 Pro ($471 at Amazon) and Samsung Galaxy S9 ($500 at Walmart) phones. Then there's the even higher-end XZ2 Premium, which threatens to overshadow the XZ2 for buyers leaning toward high-end specs. However, as of yet the Premium doesn't have a confirmed release date.
Pros:
  • The Sony Xperia XZ2's curved design makes it comfortable to hold, and its powerful speakers and cool vibration feature make games and videos feel larger than life
  • Being able to shoot 960fps slow motion in full HD is useful in the right moments
  • The fingerprint reader works in the US.
Cons:
  • 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.

A few months ago, we reviewed the Sony Xperia XZ1 a few weeks before its successor was due to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. While the XZ1 was released on the shores of South Africa quite late into the game, it was, in fact, a 2017 release, thus making the Sony Xperia XZ2 the...

Sony Xperia XZ2 review: Different but not quite better

The Sony Xperia XZ2 is a good phone but, for the price and compared to the competition, it’s difficult to really call it good enough to make the case for choosing it over the other options. As we noted in our recent review of the Sony Xperia XA2, the arrival of the Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact see Sony Mobile switch up their approach to aesthetics in a pretty significant way. Gone are the days of the company’s blockish OmniBalance design logic.
Pros:
  • Great design and feel-factor
  • Dynamic vibration
Cons:
  • Lackluster camera
  • Software is still a weakness

The Sony Xperia XZ2 is the absolute best Sony phone I've had. It has great sound that sounds great when listening to music or watching YouTube clips. It has a really good camera with superslow motion feature that is preferred when you want to take dramatic clips on rain or fire.

Absolutely brilliant phone! Poor quality control from Sony/Amazon

Upgraded to this from a Z5 and though I was concerned about the curved back and extra thickness, once you have it in your hand it is much more comfortable to hold than the Z5. The performance is very fast and the camera is a great improvement over previous Xperias especially in low light conditions.
