Fady, 29 Dec 2014Hi There,
May you please advise how long the battery lasts with heavy duty ? the heavy duty i... moreHey Fady. With the battery life, I last about 3 - 4.5 minutes with WiFi on and web browsing. Meaning I can last about 6hrs 15 mins, more or less. I cannot say about 3\4G connection as I do not subscribe. Perhaps it would be the same with WiFi though I know it is default not to be able to run WiFi and 3\4G at the same time. As for Bluetooth, I tried it once but didn't take too long enough to see the effect on battery. I think the display has something to do with the battery. I noticed that when I was writing this message, the time for 1% to go down was longer than expected compared to web browsing. Perhaps using the display with no picture has an impact on the battery. Also, it might have something to do with the data used when moving from one site to another. Bluetooth and calls I think are too short to test the impact, while web browsing, email and WiFi\3G\4G can be observed. Though I can't rely on the battery percentage because the calibration may not be accurate. (F) You should last at minimum of 5 hrs, 4.5 being the very least. It's possible but it is unlikely to achieve for heavy usage. (DOWNSIDES) (1) I think the heating is easily felt at the back (NFC area) compared to the other phones. Overheating only applies to the 4K videocording and camera use. Who's gonna need 4K these days and shoot 4K as a film director on a phone. This is more of a phone and not a videocam. (2) The 20.7MP just wins on paper. It's great but you can't use Superior Auto, HDR. It's just on manual, but the 8MP 16:9 SA is majestic, though a bit washed on big light. (3) It's hard to tell if your device is really waterproof, even Sony claims to be. One wouldn't risk to just to find out. All are waterproof but you can never prevent unwanted defects. Even the strongest has its weakest. I haven't and don't plan to test it just yet. Flaps aren't the only the ones to consider, there is a very small gap on my device on the bottom left corner of the front glass which is only moticeable when you look very closely ans compare it to the other corners. In addition, the audio jack might be another giveaway. It may be coated, the flaps may be sealed, but it might also be the problem for anti-waterproofing. Consider the other holes (mic, speakers) but I think it is VERY RARE that these might be the cause of problems. (4) Construction. It has the most muy-elegante gentleman look but some might not like the construction. It might crack when dropped and the holding feel is not for all. I'm fine with the hold but I had to use both hands when carrying it out of the pocket for careful handling purposes. It slipped off once and thankfully I was able to catch it but hit the ground. It was a bit slippery and might be for some. The small 0.8mm scratch will leave me problematic for the rest of my life lol. Fingerprint magnet especially on the black model and you'll need to screen protect it twice - front and back.

Hello fellow xperians
I currently own an xperia sp. i want to upgrade to the z2.
any issues with the phone apart from the heating?
which is not an issue if you have been using smartphones. They all heat up.
plus are the noise cancelling headphones standard on the international version (d6503)?
thanks in advance

I have an app which monitors the phone temperature and I'm averaging 31*C on standby, 35*C when I'm web browsing and 38*C on games (may vary). I think this is a normal temperature range. I should be worried when I get to 40*C and above because I barely get there. I think the "overheating" problem has something to do with the "heating feel," on how heat is easily felt and I think it has something to do with the Z2's glass construction, i.e. heat transfer. I think the "overheating" from what I've searched only applies on the 4K videocording, while some on the camera. (V) So overall I think you shouldn't worry about the heating problems because I think it's normal and like what I've said, may have something to do with the glass construction, how the heat is easily felt. Again, the overheating problem applies only to 4K videocording. If you have questions regarding the Z2, I'm very happy and willing to help you out.

So I finally got to own mine, and here is MY review. (1) Starting from the exterior, it definitely is stylish and classy. Had some people stare at it for sometime while I was getting the screen protectors on. From what I saw, majority didn't recognize what it was except for the giveaway Sony logo on the front. (2) Performance was amazing, I got no lag in between apps, no matter how fast I switch from here to there. The UI is simple, at first a bit confusing of course when I first got it, but it'd easy to get the hang of it after some expeditions. When you keep it simple, you keep it fast. (3) Display was among the best, everything's crisp. Though I haven't test it yet at full brightness. Might not want to keep it at maximum brightness when you check your phone at night, it's darn bright.(4) Sound quality is great, though there are some vibrations on certain sounds, which I think is normal. As for the earphones, I sadly didn't get mine with the DIGITAL NOISE CANCELING. Instead, I got hooked up with the standard MH410. What I can say is that I'm impressed. It's a lot different from what you get on a Samsung (experience). You definitely can tell the difference. Played with the ClearAudio setting. Though the bass is kind of weak when I tried Calvin Harris or David Guetta. (5) As for the camera, everything was good with the Superior Auto. Though I'm quite disappointed that the SA only works till the 8MP only. Shots were great above the 8MP, though they tend to look a bit soft and washed out, I.e. raw shots. Hopefully there will come an update for the camera. Video recording was majestic especially at 1080p60fps, smooth and the sound too, but focusing seems to be a bit naughty. Haven't tried the 4k recording though, but I think it would be similar to the 1080, just sharper on the screen. Managed to record about 2:30 minutes on 1080p60 before heating warnings popped. It might have something to do with the usage I perhaps have done previously. (6) For the battery, it will last days on standby. I managed to get 4 - 5 minutes per 1% with WiFi and web browsing. For the games, I haven't test it out just yet. Charging from 60% takes more than 30 minutes, I noticed some stuckage on 99%, which I think has something to do with the measuring system. (6) Overall you get a very nice package, though there is no killer feature other than perhaps the long battery life, shutter button, IP certification or PS3\4 support, I think it's best to be humble. I haven't tried to test it underwater because I just got this and I don't wish to risk it just yet. I think waterproofing stays true unless the unit has some defects of course which we cannot prevent. Sony is doing its job right and no false advertisement. Have been a long user of Sony and in case you have noticed, Sony has less models than some competitors. I think you will never get wrong with a Sony as I have, though sometimes it gets you wrong, just remember that someone didn't want someone to get wrong. Satan's part of the game. So the only issues I get on the Z2 are the overheating when the screen is on for sometime and the fingerprint magnet on the black color (shush with the racism). Even though you are the best (good), people will always find your flaws, downsides or negatives. They never notice the goodness and that's a fact. If you have some questions about the Z2, I would be happy of help, I'll keep on testing the device.
