Sony Xperia Z2: 4K vid, great audio, waterproof ... Oh, and you can make a phone call

spudmasterflex

Mine arrived on Tuesday morning to replace my htc one which I loved dearly but the upgrade to the m8 was too small in terms of features so I chose the z2

So far this is the best phone I have owned,battery life is staggering I managed two days on a full charge using sat nav, three exchange accounts active and that first day fiddling you do when all new phones arrive.

Camera is way better than I had expected even in low light.

Memory slot is a godsend coming from the htc with 32Gb to this with 16GB internal.

It's fast very fast in general use.

The biggest bonus seems to be the signal reception, on my other previous phones, iPhones,htc one my reception was poor to non existent at home and I had to be in the right spot to make and receive calls, not so with this it's like having a external antenna.

Maybe the metal back on the htc doesn't help or the fact that the iPhones use the metal band around the side, for any of you in poor signal areas I recommend the phone purely on this.

Down vote time

I still don't get why people buy iPhones,the world of android has so many awesome options like miracast, throw to screen, customisation and roms, I would never go back to an iPhone after having used android for a year.

Why

If that's the case htc why did you put the same crappy sensor in to the one m8 as the old m7, that was the deal breaker in upgrading for from my old htc one.

Instead I've gone for the Xperia z2, such a shame.

Ancient telly, check. Sonos sound system, check. OMG WOAH

spudmasterflex

You obviously haven't heard a decent set of speakers connected to a sonos connect amp, or connect standard.

Granted the play five is nothing special but is great for being semi portable, garden etc during BBQ.

I have a connect amp in my dining room with a pair of monitor audio bx2 connected.

In the lounge I have the connect standard, wired up to a two channel quad amp and monitor audio gold speakers, when played back using the controller with the new flac steaming service it sounds better than any of my previous setups.

Confused

What's going on with that graphic.

It shows what looks like an iPhone 3GS, with iPhone 5s home button running iOS 7. And totally unrelated to android which the article is about?

Wow I wish my machine had 4mb of ram rather that 4GB (should also have been 4MB not mb)

EU move to standardise phone chargers is bad news for Apple

spudmasterflex

Re: Sorry to sound like a Yank

"You have the EU to thanks for the fact that most modern phones are chargeable via the same micro-USB cable, with Apple being the only one that isn't."

So in one sentence you are saying that most phones can charge by micro USB, most indicates not all, correct?

And the end of the sentence you put apple being the only one, so which is mr contradictory ?

The O2 4G Lottery: Are YOU in one of the three LUCKY cities?

Stop

Wrong

Currently O2 uses 2.1ghz for 3G with some cells using 900mhz but very few.

Signal propagation on 4g at 800mhz will be far better at building penetration and far far less absorption by rain and atmospheric changes.
