Water resistance is handy, but it means you have to remove and reseal a flap every time you charge the Xperia Z2. This gets annoying, and may result in the seal failing further down the line – it’s only a little bit of rubber, after all. Launched as Sony’s new flagship handset in April 2014, the Sony Xperia Z2 comes just six months after its predecessor, the Xperia Z1, which itself arrived just a few months after its little brother the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. Sony looks set to keep up with this insanely short turnaround time, bringing us its current flagship phone, the Xperia Z3, just a further six months on from the Z2. Confused? So are we.

The Sony Xperia Z2 tablet is equipped with the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. This advanced Quad-core processor is 75% faster than the S4 Pro and gives you maximum power and speed with outstanding battery time – run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with little loading time and stream videos without a break. The asynchronous processor makes sure that each core is powered independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don’t. The Sony Xperia Z2 tablet can be used as a universal remote to control your devices all over the house. It will enable you to power on the TV, change the songs coming from your Bluetooth speaker, and even share content to other devices.

The Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet has an impressive IP55/IP58 ratingand its display has a scratch resistant surface made of tempered glass. This means that the slim Sony tablet is water and dust proof as well as scratch resistant. Having decent stereo separation is great for playing games and watching movies, but the Xperia Z2 doesn’t have quite as beefy-sounding output as the HTC One M8. The Sony phone probably has significantly smaller speaker enclosures, if you’re looking for a reason why beyond using different drivers. Another neat feature you may not initially notice is the set of stereo-front speakers. They output from tiny little near-invisible grilles on the very top and bottom of the Xperia Z2, the top one sharing its home with the multi-colour notification LED. As with the phone design, speaker performance sits somewhere between the HTC One M8 and Galaxy S5.

Given this short refresh cycle it’s unsurprising that the Xperia Z2 is only a little different from its predecessor.

Resolving problems with the hardware

If the logo does not appear, it is a hardware problem. You need to take your phone to a service centre. The effects of a handset with a pretty severe design become all the more obvious as a phone gets bigger. The iPhone 5S has a pretty angular little body, but it is such an easy-to-handle phone that it is a non-issue. Here we’d be tempted to buy a silicone case just to give the phone a friendlier feel. Signal strength and data speeds are excellent on both 4g and WiFi infact the 4g signal strength is always 1 to 2 bars better than my S6 smartphone both devices using the same Giffgaff sim provider.
