Sony Xperia XZ2 - user opinions and reviews

Even after owning this phone for 5 years, I still accidentally drop it into water and it's still totally fine. The shape and hold is a bit odd, without a case it's like a bar of soap. I thought initially that the fingerprint sensor location was in a worse place, but I got used to it and it's usually intuitive. This webpage doesn't show that it has wireless charging, but it does.

it's sad that sony didn't push a12 for their sd845 phones. that made a lot of differences for casual user.

My xz2 just died from water damage inside my rain jacket while running. It was my fault, but I have always rinsed my other xperias with water before and all of them have survived.

Coming back to this phone in 2023, I only noticed the AOSP Open Device program for several Sony phones*. It turns out that Sony rolls out Android 12.0 binaries for this phone. If you think about it, Sony can officially roll out a fourth OS update to this phone. I don't mind this AOSP program thing since I used to flash custom ROMs, but most average consumers don't do that kind of thing.

My lcd is slightly lifted. It seems the battery is swollen and pushing the lcd. This phone has served me well for almost 5 years now.

Than I recommend you the Xperia xz2 Premium! A perfect phone with a great display and a great camera! Take a look! Is an incredible phone! I have also a red xz premium for the 4k screen. It's an amazing piece of technology, but kinda old. Check out the xz2 premium! I'm sure you will love it! Cheers and stay safe!

I'd love to have an XZ3 as you suggested but, I can't as I have sensitivity to the PWM flickering from OLED panels. If I look at a phone with an OLED display for more than a few minutes it causes headaches and eyestrain. Which is why I am interested in XZ2 instead because it uses IPS display.
Anyway it seems like XZ2 is the perfect phone for me (well, almost) because, it's one of the last flagship devices to have a notchless display (no punchhole selfie camera) and it still has support for LineageOS, meaning can upgrade to Android 12 with latest security patches. My only wish is that it had a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired headsets.

My xz2 is still running great! Only the battery is a bit down, but it's normal after so many years of usage! It's cheep to get it change, not a problem! The phone is still working great, the screen is amazing, the camera is good for its time, the games are running good. Although the phone last update is Android 10 and the phone is good, I recommend you to choose a newer phone, to be safe for the years to come with security updates! Try a xz3 before choosing a xz2!{it has a much beautiful display! More ppi, sharper images! In rest, they are the same}. Cheers and stay safe!

I suppose the only downside (kinda) is the price with taxes, I mean not that it is "expensive" for a new phone but it's a lot more than buying a used one here in the UK especially if you consider additional customs duty, import taxes, etc. A used one typically sells for £60-£80 here whereas this would be probably somewhere close to £200.
I guess I'm just a bit hesitant because I have never used an XZ2 before, I can't say for certain it is what I want until I actually try it. Maybe it's best to buy a used one first and if everything's OK I can later sell it and purchase the 6GB model from China.
