Sony Z2 full review

Sony Z2 full review
The first obvious change is probably the intuitive reflection of the parameters. Sony Xperia Z2 is equipped with a 5.2-inch 1080p display, which is a slight improvement over the previous Sony Xperia Z1. Although the screen size has been improved, the Sony Xperia Z2 is more compact in terms of body dimensions. The TD-LTE version of the Sony Xperia Z2 has a body dimension of 149×73.3×8.2 mm, which shows that this phone is only 5 mm longer than the Sony Xperia Z1. In other aspects, it is narrower and thinner than the Sony Xperia Z1, which also brings a more comfortable feel to users. In addition, the Sony Xperia Z2 is equipped with the Android 4.4 KitKat system, and the TD-LTE version of the mobile phone is equipped with a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AB processor. Although the camera is still a 20.7MP Sony G lens, this is a bit similar to the HTC One M8. The number of pixels of the main camera has not changed, but the change is reflected in the functional level. As a Japanese mobile phone, Sony's most popular point for female users is that it has both dustproof and waterproof functions while maintaining the design sense and overall fashion sense of the appearance. The same is true for Sony Xperia Z2, which continues the Omnibalance design style since Sony Xperia Z, with a straight body, front and back double-sided glass, and a button-like power button has become the symbol of Sony's series of products. As a Sony user, I personally always think that Sony is very good at hiding the speakers and microphones of its products. These fragmented and very necessary functions have never destroyed the overall design sense of Sony products. This time, Sony Xperia Z2 adopts a front dual speaker design to bring users a better audio-visual experience. The two speakers are very slender and close to the upper and lower ends of the front panel. If you don't look closely, it is easy to be overlooked. The front camera above the screen still maintains 2.2 million pixels. Although this number is not good enough compared with the selfie-oriented products on the market today, it is enough for daily selfies to share on social networks. The back of the Sony Xperia Z2 should be familiar to most users who know the Sony Xperia Z1. There is basically no change, even the G logo next to the camera is still the same. There is also a layer of glass here, continuing Sony's usual design language. We said earlier that Sony is very good at hiding the details of the corners, and the same is true for the card slot. The Sony Xperia Z2 still designs the card slot on the frame, but when we cover it with a rubber plug, we will find that it is difficult to see the trace of the card slot. In addition, the color of the body frame has also changed compared to the previous one. Whether the body is black, white or purple, the frame is silver, which is also a significant difference in color between this phone and the previous one. In terms of the grip, the Sony Xperia Z2 continues the rounded feeling of the Sony Xperia Z1, and is not as tough as the corners of the Sony Xperia Z, so it is still very comfortable. Although the appearance of the three mobile phones does not look much different, the difference is quite obvious when you hold them in your hands. In the past, the most common complaint of Sony users should be the mobile phone screen. Indeed, IPS screen is not a new thing nowadays. Even the thousand-yuan models of major domestic manufacturers can be equipped with IPS screen, but Sony has always been obsessed with TFT display screen. This is not to say that Sony does not attach importance to the display effect of the screen, otherwise Sony would not have been improving the user's visual experience through BRAVIA Engine or TRILUMINOS mobile display technology and X-Reality image processing engine in Sony Xperia Z1. But for users, these technical improvements cannot make up for the shortcomings of TFT display screen in terms of viewing angle, and Sony has finally started to try IPS screen in recent products. From Sony Xperia Z Ultra, Sony Xperia Z1 Colorful Edition, to the current Sony Xperia Z2, perhaps we can think that future Sony models, at least flagship models, can guarantee the use of IPS screen. So, for Sony's products, how much difference is there in the display effect between TFT screen and IPS screen? Theoretically, we should compare Sony Xperia Z1 and Sony Xperia Z2. After all, these two products use the same display technology, and the only difference is TFT and IPS. Unfortunately, we only have Sony Xperia Z at hand, so the comparison effect this time is not only the difference between TFT and IPS, but also the difference between BRAVIA Engine 2 and TRILUMINOS and X-Reality. G lens has become a major selling point after Sony Xperia Z1. The 20.7-megapixel G lens has given Sony more confidence in taking pictures. This time, Sony Xperia Z2 has not made any changes in the camera, but has made some changes in functions. Sony Xperia Z2 uses a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 801 processor. From the AnTuTu test results, this phone has outstanding performance, powerful graphics, and no difficulty in running large games. You can enjoy the ultimate multimedia experience with this phone, which is definitely an entertainment powerhouse for today's young users. Finally, let's take a look at the battery life performance of Sony Xperia Z2 during the evaluation process. When this phone came to me, it had about 89% battery. Judging from its battery trend chart, it should have been in the off-screen standby state after being used for a period of time. After it came to me, this product continued to be off-screen standby for about 20 hours. Since there was no SIM card inserted, the battery power dropped relatively slowly. When I turned on the screen to start the test, it still had 87% battery. Next, after the phone went through an hour of photo test (the screen was adjusted to the brightest) and 20 minutes of screen comparison (the screen was adjusted to the brightest), I adjusted the screen brightness to "adapt to lighting conditions" and started endless screenshots (the screen was almost always on), multimedia tests and performance running points. In order to avoid connecting the phone to the computer for charging, we also transferred files several times via Bluetooth. Finally, 30 hours after this phone came to me, under such a high intensity of use, the lighting dropped from 89% to 37%. In other words, if it is a normal intensity of use, then the Sony Xperia Z2 will have no problem with a full day of power. In standby mode or after turning on power saving mode, its battery life performance is also very impressive. The 3200mAh battery of Sony Xperia Z2 has satisfactory performance and can stand the test.
