February 2014 pleased fans of cell phones and communicators with new products from leading manufacturers around the world. The developers from the Japanese company Sony did not stand aside. As the main flagship of the line at the beginning of 2014, it was decided to show the Sony Xperia Z2 d6503. The Japanese did not hesitate for a long time about the characteristics of their new smartphone and tried to ensure that each of its elements was the best compared to its main competitors. Whether they succeeded or not, we will find out from a further review.
Main Specifications
Sony did not save on its new flagship smartphone Sony Xperia Z2 d6503. The characteristics of this model are amazing. Let's start with the processor. The quad-core Snapdragon 801 was chosen as it, the clock frequency of each core of which is 2.3 GHz. And these are very good characteristics of the processor in comparisoneven with the flagships of yesteryear. This communicator also has enough RAM - 3 GB. Both the processor and the RAM are enough to be able to play the most "heavy" games of our time without freezing. The internal memory of the Sony Xperia Z2 d6503 smartphone is 16 GB. If this volume is not enough, then you can always buy an additional microSD card to increase the total memory of your smartphone. Like many other flagships from competing companies, the smartphone from the Japanese manufacturer boasts the Android 4.4.2 operating system.
External characteristics and ergonomics Sony Xperia Z2 d6503
Review of this model shows that in terms of design and appearance, the new flagship from Sony does not have significant changes compared to the previous one - Z1. But this is only if you look at it, and not hold it in your hand. The fact is that the new smartphone differs from its fellow dimensions. If the Z1 has more impressive weight, then the Z2 tends to be longer and thinner. However, this circumstance did not prevent the newly-minted flagship from acquiring a capacious 3200 mAh battery, which is quite enough for a whole day of work. There are two color options for the Sony Xperia Z2 d6503: black and white. The smartphone has a screen diagonal of 5.2 inches. On the front there are light and proximity sensors, as well as the main company logo. All the main buttons are located on the right side of the smartphone, which makes it convenientuse it if you are right handed. Here are the volume control buttons, and the power button, as well as connectors for a microSD card. On the left side is a slot for a USB device, which helps with charging and connecting the smartphone to a personal computer. On the top there is only a hole for the headset. The back panel of the smartphone is glossy, and the name of the Sony brand is applied on its surface. In addition, the main camera of more than 20 MP is located on the upper left side, which makes the Sony Xperia Z2 d6503 one of the most powerful camera phones of our time.
Camera and photo quality
As mentioned above, Sony has equipped its new flagship with an outstanding twenty-megapixel camera. At its core, the camera is almost the same as on the Z1, but the developers assure that the quality of the photos should be noticeably different. In fact, in good light conditions, the quality of the pictures is really at a different level, but at night the image detail is not much different from last year's smartphone.
Sound
For music lovers, this parameter is almost the main one. It should be noted right away that the sound quality of music from Sony smartphones is worse than that of competitors from Samsung and NTS. The Sony Xperia Z2 d6503 was no exception. Feedback from experts who reviewed this model suggests that the smartphone's speakers could be louder and the sound quality better. That is, the assurances of the developers that each element of this smartphoneconsidered competitive are not very close to the truth. At least in terms of sound. The volume during calls could also be louder. In a loud environment, you need to increase the volume level to the maximum in order to be able to hear your interlocutor.
Performance and durability
The Sony Xperia Z2 d6503 is powered by the latest Snapsragon 801 chipset, delivering a notable increase in overall performance over its predecessors. In terms of performance, this communicator proved to be very good. While using the phone, there were no freezes when switching programs, as well as when trying to download and play the most "heavy" games on Android. Also very pleased with the high-capacity battery. With a heavy load of the smartphone and watching a widescreen movie with high brightness on it, the battery lasts for almost 12 hours. That is, under normal conditions, the battery capacity can last at least 2 days.
Package
Like many other smartphones from Sony or other manufacturers, Sony Xperia Z2 d6503 has a very prosaic set of components. Firstly, after purchasing a smartphone, you will be given a branded box indicating all the data on the purchase. Secondly, inside the box itself, you can find, in addition to the phone, a document - instructions on how to use the phone, USBa wire for connecting a smartphone to an electricity network or a computer, an adapter for recharging the phone, as well as a branded headset from Sony. Headphones are not something fancy, so in case you consider yourself a music lover, it's better to get new ones right there.
Smartphone prices
As has been repeatedly mentioned above in the review, the Sony Xperia Z2 d6503 phone is the flagship of the Japanese manufacturer of communicators, and therefore you should not expect a low price from it. The starting price for it is around six hundred US dollars for a standard model without additional memory cards and other "gadgets". In case of additional costs, the cost of a smartphone can reach $ 700. It is also worth remembering that the cost of a smartphone, as well as the conditions of sale, may vary in different dealerships.
Customer reviews and expert opinion
If you read the reviews of people who bought this smartphone model, you can stumble upon most of the laudatory responses. Everyone, without exception, is impressed by the performance of the phone, which allows you to play even those games that cannot always run on modern computers. Also, as a plus compared to the previous flagship in the face of the Z1, the quality of photography in the daytime is noted. Buyers note that the detail has become noticeably better, the quality of photos corresponds to a 20-megapixel camera. Among the minuses, some consumers note the quality of the sounds in the speaker, namely their insufficient volume. Anotherthe downside is the high cost of the Sony Xperia Z2 d6503. The price for it, as already mentioned, can reach $ 700. But this is rather a temporary disadvantage, since after a couple of months this model will be available for a much lower cost. Experts also agreed that the phone is able to win the fight for superiority over its opponents in 2014 due to the correction of some of the shortcomings that were visible in the previous model. They also noted the phone's long battery life, which is caused by a high-capacity 3200 mAh battery.
In general, the smartphone turned out to be of very decent quality. And if you have an extra 600-700 dollars lying around in your pockets in order to upgrade your phone, then this model may be suitable for this like no other.
