Description

With the Sony Xperia XZ2, the brand enters a new chapter in design. The company's latest flagship adopts a glass-and-metal construction with curved back and rounded edges, complemented by an 18:9 LCD display. At the front we find 20% louder stereo speakers, and at the back is a (functioning) fingerprint reader. The XZ2 also stands out with its 19MP Moiton Eye camera capable of shooting 960 fps and, for the first time on a smartphone, 4K HDR video. To top it all off, the latest Snapdragon 845 powers the phone.

This device is also known as Sony H8216, Sony H8276, Sony H8266

The best Sony phone, period.
Phone owned for less than a month

Just got my deep green Xperia XZ2 wednesday, and i can say that this is the best Sony phone ever built.
Everything in this device work as it should, no hiccups, no delays, no lag!
Simply flows fast and stable.

The display is AMAZING! And i'm saying this coming from a S9+!
Camera is really nice when you learn how to use it. (manual mode for experienced users)
Video recording is a pleasure! The 4K HDR is fantastic!
Didn't tried much of slow motion, but it's cool btw... (i think it's just a gimmick)

Sound-wise, even without 3.5mm jack, it have a nice SQ through headphones (i use HTC U11 adapter and recommend it)
The music player still the best out there, hands down.
The speakers are nice and loud, the vibration thing remembers me of Motorola Rokr! It's another cool gimmick!
