[REVIEWS]

  1. REVIEW-SUMMARY - Review @ AndroidCentral
    1. ] by Alex Dobie - modest improvements, still one of the best
  2. REVIEW-SUMMARY -  Review @ Engadget
    1. ] 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.  It's strong in every major department, from the display through to the camera, battery life and waterproof build.  In return, however, you'll need to offer up some muscle-power of your own, because this handset is a whopper.
  3. REVIEW-SUMMARY -  Review @ cnet.com
    1. ] 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.   It's expensive, its regular autofocus adjustments during shooting can spoil videos, and the camera resolution is throttled when using the full automatic mode.
