How do the apps like Chrome, FB, Twitter, Skype video, Sygic maps run on Z2?
Does it have Voice recognization like Sirri?
Call recordings?

Hi, the specs/hardware of Z2 looks awesome, but I have some questions/reservations, after reading your comments before I buy my 1st Sony phone. (Btw am confused btw Z2, G3/32 GB with 3 GB RAM and S5 and S5F)
1. Heating issue: Most phones that have a built in battery with much lesser specs heat up at times when I make a lengthy call.
But what’s with Z2, it heats up when using video/cam or while gaming or on a talk, not ample vents??
Is this true about Sony’s inbuilt cooling technology in Z2?
2. What model should I get?
3. Is the volume/audio really bad, both for calls and music despite stereo speakers?
4. How is the mic quality?
5. Does one need a 30 MB/s card or an 80 MB/s one, though it supports upto 128 MB, but that doesn’t come in high speed?
6. Of the internal storage of 16 GB how much is occupied by the OS and bloat?
7. Is it wise to update the Kitkat version?
8. Would you recommend rooting it?
9. What’s the approx life of it before it becomes outdated and has to be retired?
Hoping to hear 1st hand answers from Z2 users, before I get it tomorrow.
Thanks.

Hello, I bought this phone 3 days ago and the only thing I could say about it is....SUPERB ! Really, I owned Samsung, Htc one and even one Huawei p6...anyway..nothing compares with this Z2, not even close ! Only once overheated..sound from my point of view is more than ok..camera is awesome..water resistant, fast, and BEAUTIFUL...looks and feels awesome..
First I wanted to go for a Samsung Note 3 or a Samsung S5..but i have some friends at T-MOBILE and at Vodafone and they all pointed me to this and I thank them for that. And I thank Sony for making such a thing.

I know this cuz i owned almost all of the flagships form sony upuntill z1. And they never hanged. Not even once. Now I own the galaxy s4 and it is freaking annoying as it hangs all the time. I mean all the time. You dont have to worry the slightest about the sony phones being hang

If you think the incoming call volume is low,download "loudest ringtones"from playstore,they really have some loud ringtones,i had some phones with low volumes but this appliation really helped,just try it out.

Like Z1, Z2 also having non-removable battery. If am getting into a state where my device is fully hanged and I can't do anything with that. How I can recover from this state? [from my friend's experience who is using Z1, he used to wait till the device drained off without charge]. Is there tweak ideas to recover?

Slayer, 23 Jun 2014Settings> un-tick Clear Audio>Turn on X-Loud and Surround Sound = Job DoneI already try every setting before I comment on this page, but the volume is low for me. As I mention before, its up to individual preferences. For some, its okay, for some its low.
Still happy with the phone. Love the feel the glass stick to your finger
