I bought my xperia z2 in a Japanese recycle store. It always starts perfectly, with no probs at all in diagnostics. Perfect. But after
different times of use,
1) always loses stability (everything jumps/flickers) and
2) screen touch response lost, in some parts of the screen.
Do you know, please, is there a Sony Refurb dept. To contact?
I cant find anything.
Such a, BEAUTIFUL machine.
When it works. its a dream

Thx for this comprihensiv review.. I myself Got this a couple a days ago, and for my needs its basically overkill, since already got a 7inch 3g HD tablet and a 4 inch mobile (Lumia520), and a stationary computer (Mac pro)at home..
But the Z2 was offered to a great Price on Black Friday in a big national Danish Electronic-chain (Elgiganten) and useally the prizes in Denmark are some of the highest in the World, because of enormous taxes/moms..
at Sony Denmark official dealer (Sony.dk)the SPG512 E2/B atm cost 750$ (4500DKK)
http://www.sony.dk/buy/sgp511-sgp512-sgp521
The price on the Z2 tablet 32gb ver. went for a few hours Down to 330$. and when you have in mind, that there also rules a cashback in Sony Denmark/Scandinavia on there xperia Z2 serie, where you would get 400DKK (67$) cashback when you delivered purchase-proof..
So at 263$ for the 32gb Wifi version..its one hell of a tablet, and with the comming Android 5 Lollipop update and PS4 remote play in mind, its definately looks like it has some future packed in it..
Im pretty familiar with the alternatives, like Galaxy tab pro, Ipad air.. but i gotta give it up for Z2 that solid felling of high-end-product just stands out, with the amazing 6.4mm for a +10inch tablet.. and the huge bezels with only 426g makes it a joy to use and Work with, and hold with one hand..
The new IP58 rating/certified, looks promissing, but I will wait to check that feature out and put full confident into these completely under-Water tasks..
all in all, it looks like one hell of tablet for relative Little Money, and partically the front where you can't sense the screen, before it turns on, - goes in harmony with the the hole edgy design..
Best looking Fellow on the android-tablet-scene in my view, - and the 3GB Ram, comes to good use with the evolving & not least powerdraining Android-materiel.
..
I notice in the review about the front only containing white LED statuslight..(carryes other colors like red & green)
(artikelpast s2:Above the display are the 2.2MP front-facing camera, an ambient light sensor and a status LED. It's in the right corner of the tablet and is so tiny we almost missed it at first. It's just a white LED)
+ it seems it can handle up to 128gb sd cards and not only 64..
also worth to take into consideration that Sony had promise, there Z2 tablet-owners with features like PS4 remote play (pretty big thing) and uncompressed audio support, and Android 5 lollipop update + some other features..(cudos to Sony, that sounds promissing)
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/feature-packed-update-lets-you-stream-ps4-games-to-your-xperia-z2-1271780
Like stated i love, the huge bezels and the thin and extreme lightweight, wich makes it a joy to hold, and also very fund of the screen, that i find very relaxing on the eyes, and not least the sideview are impressiv without any glance/glare.
// antutu 5.3 clocks in at 41.792 on 4.4.2..havent checked it yet on 4.4.4..
all in all a very impressiv tablet, and i feel I made a bargain bying this 10.1 tablet, just need to suit it up with a magnetic dock... ..

Just a few thoughts on ignorant people out there. The Japanese purposely use bezels in the side for purposes of holding it. The Japanese purposely place the speakers right below so that when you will hold it right, it will have the direct reflecting effect like that of the famous Bose 901. And when you understand technology like the way the Japanese do, you will find their sony phone and tablet, it's all what you wish for practical everyday mobile use. Elsewise, you should be contented with oblivion, antiquity, and apple.

Disillusioning consequence for the screen, particularly seeing as Sony continued endlessly about it! I don't perceive how an organization that makes a portion of the best Tvs can't culminate a brilliant mobile phone screen see here http://goo.gl/xWxbIR

darkraver, 05 Apr 2014oh you BEZEL complainers...you have become such annoying hi... moreOr -you know- use software like apple does to recognize when the device is being held and not used. Bezels are so ugly and stupid, sharp and lg has proved how much more usable the devices are without bezels. HTC and Sony lololove bezels though, half their devices are a f***ing bezel, people seem to love this.

Boris, 07 Apr 2014For an ARM tablet, this is quite decent. Kudos for Sony to ... moreSony already made one, the VAIO TAP 11 is exactly what you are looking for, it even has a digitizer and a pen. Super slim, with keyboard cover, amazing device, i tested it already and would probably buy one if my laptop wasnt in good shape. Not cheap but worth it. The alternative is Vaio Duo 13, a hybrid tablet with pen input, big battery that will last all day but heavier. I would stay away from Vaio Duo 11 though, its an older model that had some weak points.

For an ARM tablet, this is quite decent. Kudos for Sony to produce such premium-looking tablet. Compared to other ARM tablet like iPad, RT, or Samsung one, I like Sony Z tablets better.
However I'm moving on to x86 tablet, so I prefer a full Win8.1 tablet with digitizer input. It's more productive.
I wish Sony makes an x86 Xperia Z tablet with Win8.1 OS, it will be perfect.

Good job SONY!
Building on the Tablet Z legacy surely we will see Sony being one of the top tablet manufacturers now.

No apps? Who ... moreWould be too hard to choose between to useless tablets, WinRT or Android. For my personal use i would only consider a Win 8.1 tablet, like Vaio Tap 11 or the hybrid Vaio Duo 13. But RT, its so bad it isnt even funny.
Actually i find iPads to be useless also, just much better than Android and RT.
