buy xz3 bro
Seems like Sony went for great usability over everything. Very handsome handset
I had the Z5 Premium. The biggest problem was the battery life. Currently I have the XZ Premium. Better battery life and faster charging but still the battery could be better. Therefore nice to hear that the battery life in that XZ2 is so good. All in all, I have been very satisfied with Sony phones and think that their phones look better than the others. More masculine somehow.
What happened to your Asus P348Q monitor? And your RGB Keyboard and mouse? Just curious since you were pretty intense on the RGB setup few videos back..

Do you shoot the videos handheld or do you use some gear ? Because I feel like there should be more shots like the one during 1:55
Nice video and very well put through. Thanks
Hey! Great video! Considering buying this phone but does it feel thick to hold?
I like the old boxy design tbh looks more professional imo.

Great review! Which colour do you think is best? Did the silver show up finger prints?
Have you tried the cover yet? does it make the smartphone not to move if you leave it on the table, please?
hmm if i want buy "good gaming" laptop for 1000$ i should wait for new releases this year or sth is already available and good? The newer laptops will be probly better but are they worth waiting?
Thinking of getting the Sony xz2 or the Huawei p20 pro but reall don't know which one to go for any suggestions please
Does it have the 3D scanning app? if so, is it any good?
in how much time it charge battery from 0 to 100 ?
does the xz2 overheat when taking a vid or pic? because i got that kind of problem with my xzs, i can't take vid or pic for too long 😕
Hey out of curiosity 2k super amoled display Or 4k lcd display
Hiya. Have you had any new updates on the Xperia XZ2 that improves it's cameras (selfie & rear) overall quality & performance as of 2019?
Best tech reviews on KZread!
Can you do for xperiaXA2? about comfortable to use and some detail
They changed it from 4k to 1080p? The one thing I was interested in seeing was UHD HDR video.
Does it have a 32bit audio DAC and amplifier?
What about the 3D creator? How was it? Did you order a 3D head ?
I have xz2 it's look great I really like it

watching this on an xz2, it never fails to satisfy me
Does the camera still overheat? Has anyone had the phone for a while? My xzs after a year is crap now.
Does it have portrait mode?
Your cat is alive after all! Great review, especially about how it can dance on its own :D
One of the best reviews you’ve done Tom. Brilliant.
Hahahahaha I love the part that it wonders off the table! I laughed there with the background music 😀
Hey, loving the new keyboard. Can you tell us the name of it? more so looking forward of its review.
So zx2 can make 1080p for 60fps ?
I felt like the phone was dancing while you said it slides with music on 😂
Great video man. Excellent job in discribing the product 👍
Does this phone has heating problems ?
can I still find an xz1 compact?
Thank you so much for this great review!! Only one thing. You didn't talk about Noise Cancelation function.
@nottheengineer4957

It doesnt work at all when the phone is in your pocket unless you have wired headphones with integrated microphones, and if it works it will ruin your sound. For true noise cancelling, you should take a look at the MDR-1000X or other models from Sony. Massdrop sells the MDR-100ABN for 170$ sometimes.
Your review is really great and we'll explained. Keep it up and all the best.
It has no 3.5 mm headphone support ?
I have a chance to pick up one right now for around 400$, but I'm really not sure is it worth it anymore. I'm using Galaxy J7 2016 right now, and it would be a big jump for me I know, just I'm not too sure to pick up something else or this one. What do you think?
Always had sony..love the xz2..listen, people will always find something to gripe about, its impossable to please everyone but i personally think its a cracking phone and does everything i want it to..great phone
Will this phone work on Verizon?
Someone please told me which fighting game he is playing it looks like teeken or something like that ?
Thank you for this video! :*
Hey bro..very nice review on the phone. but I must admit , that your computer monitor caught my eye. What type of monitor is it? I'm currently looking for one and I love the one you have.
Reading some of the comments and I do not care about bezels either but do care about picture quality, can it make good videos also, what is the sound like (stereo, nice?), how much memory, minimum 6GB, and storage, perhaps 128 GB w/extra storage capacity? I am looking for something to get many years out of.I have been looking at the coming XZ2 Pro, yet to be released, or perhaps a Samsung S9, S9+, or Note S9. Your opinion, thoughts, are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I love that vibrating feature in the XZ2
Make sure to make a review on the XZ2 Premium when it is release. Great video
Thank you for this very balance review.
Mr. Tech Champ, Please tell me if this mobile Sony XZ2 is fully IP68 water resistant ?

This video was really good.. one complaint about it, i think you should lower the volume of background sound when you are explaining the dynamic vibration.. i found it difficult to listen either you or the video that you've shown to us.. overall it's good review.,🙄
Which you prefer. Xperia xz2 or Xperia z5 premium
great review .... and so was the p20 review ! 👍✌
Is there remote play
Which game was that ?
I was about to order this phone, soon as I found out there's no audio jack I've automatically decided on the s9. Seriously why get rid of the port ???
Am I the only one that likes the design? I own an S8 and I honestly wish I had this, it looks so compact and premium. The reason why I love this sexy design is because the old ones were just too simple and boring.
Worth to buy 2020 now? Mybe i get this one for my second fon.. Gaming and music

I got one last month. Decent phone. Everything is good enough except the camera which is expected
Using Sony Xperia XZ2 almost a month. Didn't found anything bad except slippery glass back. Sony just packed a beast inside the phone. 😍 😍
I got myself one, and I'm loving it.
That monitor at the back is super fly!
Omnibalance was not present on the XPERIA X, XZ, or XZ1 series. That design language was called the "Glass Loop Surface," and it stood out among the other flagships. Sure the bezels could have shrunk, but the XZ2's "Ambient Flow" design language is just awful by comparison.
Which one is better all-over? Xz2 or s9
Have the black one and looks like an alien designed phone. Simply amazing
Need a quick response! Should I swap my Galaxy S8 for the XZ2?

me too, i'm thinking to replace mine with xz2. i mean, one ui is ok for me but the battery life is horrible, can't stand it anymore. hope this thing will suit me for daily driver.
Thanks for this in-depth but succinct review. I like the Sony software, but wasn't sure which phone to go for. Seems like this is a relatively cheap option, and I can solve the poltergeist problem by putting a case on... we'll see.
HTC XZ2??
yeah its faaaaaar better than S9

I'm waiting XZ2 premium but i loved this phone so far.

This Xperia have life
For the fingerprint scanner location all depends how you hold the phone .
I've always liked Sony and their designs. They just look better to me. I've had 2 Sony phones and they've both been great. Never had an issue with Sony. At the end of the day, the small differences between the latest smart phones are so small that most people won't even notice - I think it mostly comes down to your experience with the brand and loyalty. Sony have been good to me, so I'm happy to return the favour by sticking with them - even if on paper they aren't what the critics say is the 'best'.
Yes, I'm very agree.
Just got an XZ2 yesterday. I moved into it from a dying Samsung Note 4. I'm adjusting. However, and this is killing me, how do you turn off predictive text, and the other involves sending a text to multiple recipients(?) I can add the recipients but the next step of typing the message after entering the recipients.......just isn't there. Grrrrrrrrrr.
I've had the Z3 and Z5 (both compact) and i have been hooked to Sony ever since. I think the software is great, their cameras are always fantastic and they feel premium. I have been looking to get a new phone now and after this I'm set on the XZ2. I do have to say I'm a little disappointed they moved the finger print scanner, i always thought the side mount was far more comfortable than any other phone but we'll see how this performs. the headphone jack is a major downer for me especially since my car doesn't have Bluetooth.
Just wanted to chime in and say that you're a great reviewer. I really appreciate it! I'm right on the edge of buying a P20 Pro, and your reviews are a big help in that decision! Keep it up

If and when you do buy the P20 Pro, how is it? I'm so tempted to buy one, but idk if the tradeoffs are worth it (e.g. I absolutely hate their skin... really pricey too, and also not to confident in buying a phone with a processor that is significantly slower than the current 845 most 2018 flagships use)
Would've liked it they kept the omnibalance design forever
The old Lumia 930 I had also does that on some surfaces(screen side facing down). I guess it's caused by the way the glass is curved
i have this phone and the battery is so fast when my phone is out its stil losing battery
I used to have an XZ Premium and got the XZ2 when it came out. Gotta admit I prefer the XZP design more, but the XZ2 is much more comfortable to hold in hand without a case at least. Now I'm just waiting for info on the price of XZ2 premium to know if it's worth to get that one
Can we have a shirtless scene of you with that 960fps 1080p ? Great review, like always

I chose the XZ2 compact instead. Love it. Phone doesn't slip around at all, doesn't have the gimmicky dynamic sound thing. Wireless charging technology is still not optimized without a sighnificant power loss, so am glad that the compact doesn't have wireless charging.
A beautiful phone but with a few major flaws.

Since I was gonna buy it to work with my audio equipment and just Learned that jack is nowhere to be found I can’t buy it since my equipment is all from the late 2000s and still great .... with that being said I’m sure it’s a great phone still !
the display on this phone looks gorgeous
I love it and I've just ordered it. Can't wait to mess around with it
is there no more 4k display edit: never mind, thats on xz premium
I don't know why I didn't subscribe to you already..... I like your videos.
Good review! In my opinion that is not a premium design - it may be premium feeling when you hold it, but having it slide around surfaces like that and the awkward placement of the fingerprint scanner (I tried one at the store, it really is not ergonomic), that does not a premium design make.
Perfect especially the display
I will go for it. Luv the design !
All I want to know does it over heat I have a cheaper xa and it's a oven, but excellent review
