Sony Xperia Z2 Review [Goods and Bads, Antutu Benchmark Score, Photo Samples]

Im using the device since Tuesday and here are my findings about the device.
Lets start with the Goodies,
Once you hold the phone you know you have got a piece of unique quality phone. It is designed really nice. If I would trust myself I would never use a case for this device.
Battery life is amazing. Nobody can complain about the battery life of this phone unless they have a faulty battery. First day charged it for 4 hours and lasted me 1 day 16 hours. I totally drained my battery and fully charged it and lasted me 1 day 17 hours. (5 hours of screen time on both charges). I would give 10/10 on battery life thats for sure.
Camera is awesome. There are no words to describe to camera quality. I was really worried about the camera quality after seeing some silly pictures taken with the device. So many options to choose on camera. You definitely don't need a third party camera app for this phone.
Recorded some videos at 1080p quality. I can only say "wow". I was mirroring it on my 3D HDTV, everything is so clear. When you upload it to Youtube you dont get as good as quality you have in your phone. Do not judge the video quality of the camera at youtube or any other video uploading websites. They always trim your video and reduce the quality of the videos.

Screen, it is really nice and clear. I was also worried about the screen as someone said screen is really dim. That guy must be blind. On highest brightness you cannot even look at the screen cos its shining on your eyes . When it is sunny outside if the screen brightness is not at full you can hardly see the screen but if it is full its fine for me at least.
Sound quality is pretty good on both ways either on speakers or headphones. It can actually be too loud if you are watching good quality movie or listening good quality songs.

And the baddies.
Notification sound and vibration are so low. You can hardly hear your notifications. I have changed my whatsapp notification vibrate to long one still sometimes cant feel it. Hope they will fix it with an update.
Double touch to wake feature is not responsive. I was like tapping 10 times to wake the phone up where I supposed to tap twice. I just dont use it any more. Also I believe it drains the battery.
4K Video recording is out of sync. I believe that cos the screen has to be 4K to get the sync at the right time. It is quite pointless to record videos at 4K unless you have 4K TV.
Fingerprints on back glass I mean it gets dirty so easily I even tried that by washing my hands and after playing a wee while it leaves the fingerprints on the glass is annoying me. I have got a case that problem is sorted but still something could be done for it.
Charging battery is seems so slow to me, takes over 4 hours to fully charge. Not too sure if I have got a faulty charger or everyone is the time as me but it should be quicker in my opinion.
There is no restart button on power menu all the other phones have it. I have no idea why they never put restart button on the power menu.
So far I can say those things about the phone but I will update it when I find out new stuff.

Have you yet encountered the overheating issue on your Z2, also how is call quality on your device?

When I recorded 4K video it was getting warm I did record quite small length of video though 38 seconds.
I think everybody has got that issue it warms up or overheat while recording 4K videos.
I did record 6 mins of 1080p video it was totally fine.
Call quality is really good even with headphones.

Yeah I forgot to add the battery life at goodies.
Battery life is amazing 1 day 17 hours it lasted me on second charge. On first charge was almost the same.

Judging from your response on the charging time, I believe the charger provided by Sony has a low current. Since Z2 has quick charge 2.0, get a stronger charging adapter to get a faster charging time.

The charger came with my device is this one as @Jackos said 1.5

I have yet to receive my Z2 so I am not entirely sure as to where you can get the charger unfortunately.
I believe quick charge 2.0 mean it supports up to more than (>) 4Amp current compare to the ones provided by sony which is 1.5A. This explains how Oppo Find 7 charge its latest flagship with 70% in just 30 minutes since it is provided with 4.5A charger.
.. I could be wrong though.

I've used double tap to wake a lot, it has never failed once so far. Maybe you accidentally putt glove mode on?
My battery lasted over 22 hours, with 38% left (5 hours 33 mins screen time). Battery charged from 38% to 90% in about an hour, used Sony charger (microsd).
I agree about the ring tone and notification volumes being too soft.

I have checked the glove mode which is off.
I have turned my double touch to wake function on again so far so good.
Can you tell me what model is your battery charger? is it same as mine? (you can see it above) My battery was charged 54 percent in one and half hour and my phone was off.

My charger looks smaller then yours, I couldn't take a clear picture of it ATM.
Charger EP880 1269-4154.1
TYPE AC-0401-AU
INPUT: 100-240V~ 300mA 50-60Hz
OUTPUT: 5.0 VDC=== 1500mA
PSM08AU-050S
S/N xxxxxxxxx
Made in China by Phihong
This difference seems to be the input, mine is 300mA while your's is 250mA and made in different places.

I would just like to add I have the same issue with the tap to wake functionality. Its intermittent at best.
I have noticed it happens when the phone has been idle for some time. It will take around 4 taps to wake the screen. Once you do it once, it will pretty much do it perfect every time repeatedly. That's as far as my trouble shooting has established so far.
It is definitely an issue though and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
Where did you get your Z2 from? Wasn't O2 by any chance?

I just woke up about 1 1/2 hours ago and the phone double tap on first try for me, have all the power saving options turned on. I am not saying it's not an issue, it's just not an issue for me because it has worked for me 100% of the times I've tried it. Not sure if I'm just lucky or if I'm some kind of double tap master.

Apologies, I wasn't implying everyone has the issue but it's definitely an issue for a large amount of people. There is a thread about it on the Sony forums. Nothing acknowledged as of yet though.

All good, no need to apologies.
Could be due to touch screen responsiveness on some screens.

its fine after the initial attempt from a long idle period though. Who's using the official flip case? I am. I'm wondering if the felt against the surface could be causing some kind of weird problem. Clutching at straws but trying to find some common/uncommon ground.

A possible improvement for the overheating camera issue

It may help improve the situation, I noticed marked improvement in the length of videos that I can record if I enabled Extended Usage as folllows:
Power Management -> Stamina Mode -> [Check] Extended Usage

Mention how long you can record without this setting and with it.
Also mention ambient temperature when you do the recording in both cases.

Ambient temp: 29 C
BEFORE
Recording Video : less than 20 seconds...
AFTER
Over 2 minutes so far, no shutdowns yet...
Massive improvement...
I actually was recording my baby doing tricks, but initially was not able to do so... cause by the time I click on the red button to record, it already has over heated....

Presumably you are talking about 4k.
20 seconds at 29 degrees is rather short, i managed 2:30 in a non air conditioned shop before it put up that message, there was no active wifi or cell connection when doing this test as there was no sim card in it.
will try your setting later and report back how much difference it makes. Some body else also mentioned that this setting worked as well.

I think the camera overheating issue is not really related to the camera sensor, but to the processor overheating.
I am stating this based my experience with video recording using DSLRs,

Yes it is very short. I was so annoyed that I flashed another firmware only to find out that it had the same problems. I was not even taking 4k videos! Basically when you factory reset the phone, whatever settings that is there was the one I used.
However, last week, when I got my phone I could remember taking videos that were relatively long (3 minutes or so)... Oh well now I have setup the phone again... I am now on that .438 singtel firmwware.

It's very hard to do any sort of proper testing and come to any conclusions.
I can usually take loads of photos and (1080p video) in close succession, but just last week, when it was quite sunny - I managed just a few before the error and being told the camera would close to cool down. Started the camera again, it shut down almost immediately. And after that, I got an error that stopped the camera loading at all.
Now that's not normal. It really wasn't THAT hot either, but the CPU was running at 60 degrees! Goodness knows why, but ultimately I was unable to take photos until I'd turned the phone off completely to let it cool (I was out, so didn't have any cold water to dip it in).
After leaving it a while, it was okay for as long as I needed to take some more pictures.
It's ****** annoying as we're about to have one of the hottest weeks of the year so far in the UK, and here it's quite humid and sticky. Thus, I fully expect that I'm going to have loads of problems. And Sony will give us the software fix they've now acknowledged is coming just in time for winter.

I agree it's funding annoying

OnePlus 2 fast charging..?

Hello everyone,
I just want to know is there any setting/boeffla kernel setting for fast changing.
Tell me if you are getting fast charging by any means.
Thanks.

Hi,
As far as, I know there isn't any kind of external factor or kernel setting for fast charging.
& for us, just put our phone on flight mode & close all background app.

3-4 hours? You either have a problem with your charger or battery or maybe your phone consumes battery very fast.. Mine usually charges full within 90 mins or so (without force closing apps or using airplane mode or anything extra)

your opinion on zenfone 3 ze520kl camera heat and flickering issue

hello friends and seniors this is about my recently bought zenfone 3 ze520kl . its very much appreciated camera ,whenever i use it more than 30 seconds i experience abnormal heat at back side of phone ..Also in indoor light conditions i experience black horizontal transparent lines moving from left to right .i used it on both marshmallow and nogut but problem still persists.please confirm whether it is normal or manufacturing defect also if you have any setting or solution please provide.
thanks.

Change banding settings in camera app to 50 or 60 Hz.

Solved flickering issue at some extent at 50 hz but heating effect same.

It's entirely normal for a phone to get warm to the touch during use, especially when using the camera. This happens with most phones, and is not indicative of a fault.

I think you shouldn't worry about that heat because i have an ze520kl and after 1-2 minutes use camera i feel a little heat around finger print sensor too.
It's feel a lot better than sony z3. I have used this phone for 4 months and take lots of pictures, still alive

Cpu z reports temp from 37 to 44 after 3 mins video confirm its normal..

Thank u all...for your valuable suggestions..

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Honor Note 10 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

The battery is great after 2 days still 49% and Sreen on 5 hours 38 minutes

Update:
I think you can leave that after almost 3 days

It will work in Europe with Lte,only Lte Band 20 (800MHz) is not on Board.On that Regions use Hspa.In all cities Lte works without problems with Band 3 and 7.

i'm still not sure whether lack of band 20 is deal breaker for me. I live in a small city and B20 is very probably what's used here.
it's weird that the cheaper Max 3 has it and this beast doesn't
How are you satisfied in general? with camera and battery life? is the super night mode available on it? (the one that was advertised with p20 pro, if you know what i mean)

Hi,
Have the phone for some days now.
Love it and I think that everything about it is simply amazing... Except one thing : battery life.
The stand by drain is stellar. 100% after 6 hours. Can't be better. And that with Display always on turned on !!!
But as soon as display is active and some slightly more demanding apps are running, battery is melting like snowflakes in summer in Florida !
I'd say under these circumstances SoT will be about 9 or 10 hours... Which is what I'd expect from a 4k or 4k2 battery but not a 5000mAh...
It's not bad really, just a little disappointing ???
EDIT : I confirm that battery life is a real disappointment ! I think with medium use you can't get more than 7/8 hours SoT...
This is to be expected from a phone with 4k mAh battery but I hoped for at least 11 hours from a phone with 5k mAh battery
I guess this will not stay and will be replaced with something else probably a Xiaomi mi max 3 : less performance but people reporting up to 17 hours SoT !
And at least some development and living forum... This seems simply dead

I thought I am the only one with this issue...With auto brightness turned on, it's showing that the estimated battery life left is 2 days 20 hours left after a full charge...Also it's taking like 5+ hours to charge the battery to 100% using the stock charger & cable...I saw battery charging tests on YT & I saw people easily managing to fully charge it in about 1:50 hours so I don't know wth is happening in my handset...Mine is completely new, just a few days old...Can be a firmware issue too...I will wait for the next firmware update & see...

Hi,
Good luck...
As far as I am concerned, I have given up the Honor Note 10. Here are the reasons why :
- zero support from manufacturer... a firmware update every 3 months, but probably none anymore after the third or fourth update ;
- Honor's stupid policy about not allowing to unlock the phone ;
- the result : zero developer interest for this device ;
- dead XDA forum (last post except yours was like 52 hours ago) ;
- people in this channel only supporting EMUI and discouraging any attempt to install anything else on the device...
So I switched to the XCiaomi mi Max 3.
Of course, not the same powerhorse as it only has SD 636, but that is enough for my needs...
And easily unlocked ; Xiaomi releasing a new ROM (beta or stable) every week/month ; devs working to port LAOS to it ; nice people in the XDA forum...
So despite this all, if anyone is interested in buying a Honor Note 10 8/128, I'm selling it
Regards.

Make sure you do a factory reset & set the Pie from Scratch like a new phone...If you have installed it over Oreo without a factory reset, the performance may not be that smooth as some left-over files from Oreo may slow-down your system...Doing a factory reset will improve your battery run time...Mine did...
Before making factory reset, don't forget to do a full system backup using HiSuite...

I thought I am the only one with this issue...With auto brightness turned on, it's showing that the estimated battery life left is 2 days 20 hours left after a full charge...Also it's taking like 5+ hours to charge the battery to 100% using the stock charger & cable...I saw battery charging tests on YT & I saw people easily managing to fully charge it in about 1:50 hours so I don't know wth is happening in my handset...Mine is completely new, just a few days old...Can be a firmware issue too...I will wait for the next firmware update & see...

I bought the Huawei supercharge brick 5v4,5a/4,5v5a and i can get full charge in less than 2hours but the inbox charger is really slow since it's not supercharge but standard 18w quickcharge!

I got the Supercharger in the box when I imported it from China but because of some Firmware issues, I was not getting the Supercharging speed...At first I thought maybe the charger is bad or slow but then I checked it & it was indeed a Supercharger with 5A...Then I thought maybe my Type C cable is bad...I kept trying & trying but was not being able to get SuperCharging out of it...I was also about the buy a spare SuperCharger but the last official 165 Oreo FW solved my issue automatically...Now my stock charger also completes the charge within 2 hours...And shows SuperCharging always, when I plug my phone to the stock charger...
Using the Ampere app from Playstore, I checked the charging amp & it still varies between 2800-3300 Amp though...I may buy the Spare SuperCharger later just to check if I can get 4000-4500+ Amp charging speed which atleast I should be getting from a 5A charger but since the current charger is doing it's job under 2 hours, I am not much bothered about buying another charger...Maybe later...
