Sony Xperia Z2, did the best of Sony just got better?

Recently a lot of new flagships were launched and one of them was the Sony Xperia Z2, Sony's latest flagship released to combat with the HTC m8 , Samsung galaxy s5 and many more which are not launched yet! In a lot of ways, the new xperia z2 outruns the old xperia z1 but there are also some aspects where xperia z2 disappoints and we are going to look into whether Sony's latest flagship is worth it or not!
We are just going to look some pros and few cons to find out this and whether you should upgrade from xperia z1 to xperia z2 or not!

     


THE XPERIA Z2 HAS A BETTER DISPLAY!

The Xperia Z2 has taken its display up a notch over the Xperia Z1. Not only is it 0.2-inches bigger at 5.2-inches compared to the 5-inch screen on the Xperia Z1, but Sony has also introduced Live Colour LED to the Trimluminos and X-Reality tech of the Xperia Z1.

While the resolution stays the same at 1920 x 1080 pixels, the Live Colour LED technology is said to widen the colour gamut, allowing you to boost colours without oversaturation.

Side by side, the Xperia Z2 clearly shows an improved display with punchier colours and better viewing angles over the Xperia Z1.
The Xperia Z2 has a pixel density of 423ppi compared to the Xperia Z1's 440ppi, meaning a slightly sharper image on the Xperia Z1 due to its smaller display.

So basically it can be said that the display of xperia z2 is not that great compared to the last year's flagship!


SAME OLD DESIGN!

Sony almost never experiments with the design of their phones whether it is low end or high end, the design of sony phones are always the same and xperia z2 is no exception!

Sony hasn't altered the Xperia Z2's design too much from the Xperia Z1, although it is slimmer in terms of width, as well as lighter than its predecessor. You will get a slight increase in height with the Xperia Z2 due to the larger display, but it's fractional.

Both devices come with the same solid aluminium frame, neat chamfered edges and tempered glass front and rear panel. Additionally, both devices come in the black, white and purple options.

 THE XPERIA Z2 SOUNDS BETTER! (A LOT BETTER)

The speaker of the latest flagship has been moved from the end of the phone and around to the front, introducing S Force Surround Sound. This should make for a better experience when watching movies or playing games through the speakers.

The Sony Xperia Z2 also incorporates digital noise cancellation. This works through the bundled headphones in the box. They have mics on them to detect ambient noise, which is passed to the handset to produce anti-noise to cancel it out. The Xperia Z2 should be a popular phone for commuters, as you'll be able to better cut out the outside world.

The sound of the latest flagship has been improved a lot when you put them side by side, it is not great as HTC boomsound but it is better especially while using the headphones!


BETTER CAMERA!

The camera on the xperia z2 is not changed with its comes to the sensor, it brings the same 20.7-megapixel Exmor R for Mobile sensor that the Xperia Z1 proudly launched with in September, but there are a few enhancements with the new flagship!
        

The camera on the xperia z2 adds 4K video recording, adds video effects like AR and Vine, as well as SteadyShot image stabilisation.

In addition, the Xperia Z2 brings 120fps slow motion as well as a new background defocus mode for stills so it's fair to say the Xperia Z2 certainly takes the camera capabilities up a notch over the Xperia Z1.

XPERIA Z2 IS FASTER!

As you would expect with an upgraded handset, the Xperia Z2 brings with it a faster processor compared to the Xperia Z1.

The Xperia Z2 features the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor under the hood with 2.3GHz quad-core Krait CPUs, compared to the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor in the Xperia Z1.

There is also an increase in RAM with the Xperia Z2, offering 3GB compared to the 2GB found in the Xperia Z1. Both models have 16GB of internal storage with microSD support for further storage expansion up to 64GB.

This doesn't really create that difference but is still a big and significant upgrade,and makes the xperia z2 much more faster!

BATTERY LIFE GETS SIGNIFICANT UPGRADE!

There has also been an improvement in battery with the Xperia Z2 over the Xperia Z1. The Xperia Z2 has a 3200mAh battery while the Xperia Z1 comes with a 3000mAh battery that promised up to 14 hours talk time and 880 hours standby time so you should get a bit more juice out of the new model. 

Battery life is always a must when it comes to flagships and xperia z2 doesn't disappoints too!

TO SUM UP...

To sum up, the new xperia z2 is faster, smarter, and much better than the previous flagship, the xperia z1 but what we were looking for was something that would make this phone stand apart from the crowd and that is missing from this flagship! If you are using the last year's flagship, then there's no need to upgrade, but if you are using the xperia z, then you should!
