design
As expected and as we had seen many leaks before it was presented, The Sony Xperia Z2 continues the same design that we see from the Sony Xperia Z, so sober and minimalist lines. While it’s true that the margins saw a little more use, it’s also true that not as much as was rumored. Add that to the 0.2-inch increase in screen size and we’re faced with a device that longer but not wider or thicker.
We must highlight the good work that has been done in relation to the weight of the terminal, since the weight of the Sony Xperia Z1 has been reduced by 12 grams, which we hardly notice but which is more interesting despite its larger size. And how could it be otherwise your body at all allows him to regain the ability to resist for the liquid element and the dust.
Screen
with 5.2 inches, the diagonal suffers a slight enlargement, although attempts have also been made to increase its quality. Again with a IPS Triluminos and X RealityNow attached to this combination the Live Color LED technology which is intended to offer a much more successful color palette.
to Viewpoints have been editedaspect of the most criticized in the smart phone from Sony and is now significantly expanded compared to the Sony Xperia Z1.
camera
In both we find the famous Sony Exmor R sensor, 20.7 megapixelsSo we get a afín quality to the previous model, although we will get a notable one changes in the programa attached to the camera, at the level of the powerful hardware.
Since then we’ve noticed other differences when used as a vídeo camera The Sony Xperia Z2 finally adds 4K recording which was eventually left out on the Sony Xperia Z1, as was capturing slow motion at 120fps. An image stabilizer is also integrated solid shot and aplicaciones like AR effects.
hardware
Regarding the components used for the hardware internal, The Sony Xperia Z2 emplees the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, a small evolution. At first glance, there are no major changes from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 found in the Sony Xperia Z1, as the improvements are simply focused on frequencies, most notably boosting the speed of the GPU significantly from 450,MHz to 578MHz.
programa
Of course, the new model is expected to launch with the latest updated version of the system, Android 4.4.2 KitKat, although not fully confirmed yet. Therefore, simply because it is the latest from Sony, if it is already happening, this device would be ahead of the terminal. As mentioned, it’s had a positive facelift when it comes to the camera.
The Sony Xperia Z1 running Android 4.3 Jelly BeanKnowing Sony and still waiting for the update, its owners will see how little their terminal will be outdated in favor of this and other new models, so that system updates will be more and more distant until they no longer come.
Conclusions
How perro we check The Sony Xperia Z2 is a pure evolutionmaybe even less important than what we saw when the Sony Xperia Z1 came out to replace the original model, the Sony Xperia Z. The changes are mostly noticed when using the phone as a multimedia device, and that is The main improvements focus on the screen, which increases both in size and quality, and in the sound.Of course we have to forget about the camera section and it seems that the company is working well on it now programa Get a lot more out of yourself hardware.
For the rest, we will not see large jumps in performance due to the new chipsets So Qualcomm doesn’t do it for the previous generation either Only the most demanding users could see a real improvement. It also estimates a 200miliamperio-hora increase in battery capacity, so any increase is welcome.
In short, we are facing one móvil the personal I don’t think it’s worth it for users who already own the Sony Xperia Z1although it may be of interest to those still using previous generation devices.
And for you, dear reader, Think it’s advanced enough to top Sony’s offering?
