After updating my Z2 to Lollipop, I found out that the Camera is no longer precise at low-light as it was on KitKat but hazy. In addition, the Timeshift burst mood of the Camera became worse as most of the shots are shaky compared to the same shots taken on Kitkat.. I also preferred the toolbar and tools shortcuts and notifications as well as the way one unlocks the mobile on the Kitkat from those of the Lollipop.
Regarding the battery usage, I think it's almost the same on both versions; maybe on Kitkat it's slightly better.
In kitkat, there was an button for closing all programs in the background while in Lollipop u have to close them one-by-one.

R there any other reviews that describe the difference between the two versions (Kitkat and Lollipop) ? how can I bypass such points? or is there a way to officially downgrade to Kitkat (no flash or root) ?

    Karyn, 02 May 2015Worst phone I have ever owned. Glitchy, slow and not robust at all. I am so disappointed with ... moreIve been using my z2 for 10-11 months now.and i kept it in an original sony case and put the screen protector. Not a single scratch on a screen, not a single scratch on the back panel. Only corners have some marks of wear. Im running cyanogenmod 12/lolipop 5.1 atm, and its just great. Good battery life, great performance. Im no sony fanboy, i only bought it because it felt good in a hand and it was super beautiful. Im not going to switch to another phone any time soon. Ill just wear it down to the ground and this will be my first phone im keeping for so long. Thumbs up for z2 !!!

                      My name is ameen, im from india.Eight mnth before i bought xperia z2 from my near mobile shipe, all these months it went smoother, one day my mob accedently fell down and my screen was bit broken.I check it and found that my touch was not working, so i went to near Sony sales executive for repairing, they told me I HAVE TO PAY 50% of mob's price and they would give a referbable hand set, you guys know for any hand set its screen cost max 30% of the total value of the phone, and also they told me that the hand set they give it to me, they cant give me guarantee that it is not tampered, i had tak cared my mobile soo neatly resulting this . This is my real experience, the sony will give us good mobile but not good in after sale service. So please if you guys live in INDIA.....DONT BUY IT

                                  Worst phone I have ever owned. Glitchy, slow and not robust at all. I am so disappointed with this phone. I has never worked properly but because the issues were erratic I couldn't get it fixed under warranty. I dropped it once, had a tiny crack in the corner and the phone stopped responding except for a small area of the touch screen. My son dropped his phone and it is almost shattered but it still works. I would never buy another one. Nothing worked as promised and it came with so much sony software I barely had room to fit my stuff. Don't buy one!
