Sony Xperia XZ2 review

14 March 2018
You don't really have to look any further than the new Xperia XZ2 and its little Compact sibling for proof that Sony is evolving even if slowly. The 2018 flagship is different in a number of ways, some of which more controversial than others.

The old model was much more beautiful, what a let down, Sony

    pisces aphrodite, 07 Apr 2018it's ugly man. many sony fans also have similar opinions. ... moreEven I don't like the design that much, but I don't find it ugly enough to be a deal breaker.

      Anonymous, 06 Apr 2018Nope. xz2's design is htc's invention. the upcoming sony's... moreYou mean HTC's glass back design, which was an invention of Sony?
      And notch will be copied by Sony, in a way that it will look not ugly and is actually useful as compared to your shtty phone lol.

        Anonymous, 10 Apr 2018Sony is about performance and ergonomics for the end user..... moreYup yup totally agree, to many run way model expectations versus performance, reliability and quality which is SONY. Hehehe

          Ugliest back of a phone imo. Also, the screen not being AMOLED really turned me off. Cool features otherwise.

                  xz2's design is htc's invention. the upcoming sony's flagship will probably use notch too.
                  hahahaa

I don't use many accounts giving repeated negative comments on the thread to brain wash people.

                        Definitely a mix of their previous designs...
                        But monolith omnibalance design is better IMO.

                          Anonymous, 28 Mar 2018nothing evolutionary about the design, the Xperia SP from 2... moreYeeeaaahhh... you probably should say that to the people who says it's a HTC copy.(keeping in mind sony was still the first to use a shiny glossy back). You see how you came here hoping to rip on the design but met a turn of event?

                          ps. I usually don't reply "anonymous"es though

Then the Z5, they repeat the same strategy... They trolling every Sony threads. I am sure the next generation smartphone from Sony, they will do the same job.

                                Having compared the low light chart from this to the S9, you can clearly see that the Sony actually has a better low light camera than the Samsung.

                                And isn't that a turn up for the books?

                                  Looks like soap bars to me. Previous designs were much better than this. And for someone who use his phone on the desk a lot, it's definitely not for me.
