<ol>
<li>] by Sharif Sakr - This is a safe purchase, the best Sony phone that has ever been, and definitely among the top three Android phones currently on the market.&nbsp; It's strong in every major department, from the display through to the camera, battery life and waterproof build.&nbsp; In return, however, you'll need to offer up some muscle-power of your own, because this handset is a whopper.</li>

<ol>
<li>] by Jessical Dolcourt - The Sony Xperia Z2 has a glorious screen, tonnes of power, a great camera and a beautiful design. It's waterproof too, so it won't conk out when you drop it in the bath. &nbsp; It's expensive, its regular autofocus adjustments during shooting can spoil videos, and the camera resolution is throttled when using the full automatic mode.</li>
