Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium hands-on review

21 July 2018
Premium Sony Xperias is where a lot of firsts happen - first 4K display on a smartphone with the Z5 Premium, first HDR display on a smartphone with the XZ Premium alongside 960fps super slow-mo video recording, and now, on the Xperia XZ2 Premium - a dual camera for the first time on a Sony smartphone (a bit late to that party, eh?).

                              Is absurd. Seriously now. It needs 32 seconds like everything else. How else could you light paint?

The main problem is the low light photos can only use the 10MP for best results, but it is too small for 2018 for that price, it should have bigger pixels size to retain more image details for better zoom in resolution. P20Pro lowlight have some watercolor effects due to over processing for the noise reduction, so it doesn't a perfect phone don't overrated it. When coming into lowlight video recording it is also a mess, so it is actually not that good.

We should put ou... moreIf Sony do have tricky marketing like all the competitors did, then Huawei would become the next to close, but Sony never do this. Keep blind and brain wash people, I won't take your words seriously. Sony mobile is innovative and moving forward, even the Motions-eye sensor is also the first in use for Xperia with Predictive Captures... many features and world first camera set up for Xperia. You keep saying they are dying but they hard working and innovative to bring new things, unlike the competitors always trolling this dying that dying.
