Sony Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact hands-on review

26 February 2018
Unlike many of its big-brand competitors, Sony didn't shy away from major announcements at MWC 2018. In fact, it took the wrappers of a shiny new pair of flagships, that boldly marry new design concepts with incremental hardware updates.

                    Maybe Because them companies only care to impress you with big maH numbers, but without any optimisations, and fast charging, but without battery protection control, and wireless charging, but without overheat control
                    ...so your would buy their product, being easily impressed with marketing words
                    ... and then upgrade it in one year time with their new model, cause your battery turned crap due to uncontrolled fastcharge, and overheating while on wireless charge?

                    Has that stuff never occured to you?

                          Qnovo battery charging technology is very useful for prolonging the battery lifespan, if you have time reply to me please take some time to read these:

                            Anonymous, 08 Mar 20185 so that you consume more battery, besides having one more... moreRemove the 3.5mm jack is due to futurism and for more freedom when watching movie/Youtube in landscape mode. If you plug the wired headphone on your phone when watching movie/Youtube in landscape mode the wired must be annoying on your left hand, if it is wireless it must be more convenient to handle. Another scenario, let's say you watching a movie by place your phone on a table with the wired headphone must be annoying and worry to pull the phone drop down, but when it is the wireless headphone your get freedom and carefree. Another scenario, when listening music wireless headphone provide a fully immerse into the music no need bothering the headphone wire. It is great for immersing entertainment!

                            However, there are some step back if you only have wired headphone if you always listening music while charging the phone for the same time if you always use the 3.5mm for selfie if you always use the 3.5mm for connecting to other non-wireless devices. But Sony has included the 3.5mm adapter in the box. Anyway, Sony says high-quality audio is also provided using its expertise with the truly authentic sound of Hi-Resolution Audio together with DSEE HX technology for upscaling. Quality is guaranteed when connecting to wireless speakers or headphones thanks to the enhanced Bluetooth technology LDAC which offers near High-Resolution Audio. There is also an adapter in the box which will allow users to connect their standard wired headphones to the XZ2 and this is also fully compatible with High-Resolution Audio. And Sony is even launching a dongle which can charge the device and connect wired cans at the same time.

                              qnovo: useless. if qnovo is really useful, why big brands like apple, samsung, huawei, etc ignore it?

                                    I really want the XZ2 Compact cause it's almost perfect for me. Headphone Jack, OIS, a 3,000 mAH battery, wireless charging and 6 GB RAM with 128/256 GB ROM are the only things lacking out of this. But this one, still is as good as I want it to be.
