Z2 has the loudest speakers for songs after HTC M8.

Are you sure your's sound low ? If yes than i can easily guess why the seller sold it for 44,900 to you!

Maybe defective unit

Thanks for the reply! I'll go have a look at another unit today. Btw, how is the call quality on Z2? I mean is it any worse than on Z1 as I've read people complaining about the call sound being not good via the earpiece (tinny sound)? But since there are different versions of Z2, the indian version D6502 might not have this issue.

[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
If you want a real battery usage then I will break it down for you.

Charged at 11PM.

Wifi on till 10AM

3G on from 10AM to 7PM (Office time) -> Gaming + Facebook + G Plus + web browsing + call + sms + whatsapp

After 8PM back to Wifi

Still at 9 PM I had around 27% battery life remaining. And trust me I am a heavy user. I don't believe in software battery test so I am telling you about real world scenario.

Hope you got the idea.

[Xperia Z2 General] adya_2505:
hello people!!

So finally joined the sony family. My previous phones were all HTCs, last one being the EVO3d. I would have gone for the new M8 but was repelled by the horrible camera performance. Sony had all the things i needed: awesome camera, nice build, waterproofing was a nice addon!.

So i bought the new Z2 on 13th may.. i was maybe the first one in the store (pune sony world).. lucky me because they had only 3 pieces available (one in each colour). Picked myself up the black one. As far as defects are concerned my piece does not have any hardware defects like gaps or waterproofing issues but i do get the camera overheating error when playing with the camera in 4K or AR mode for more than 5 mins (though that is to be expected because of all the strain it puts on the CPU). Other than that its a superb phone!! battery life seems to me to last forever especially because my last phone (evo3d) lasted no more than 3 hours after full charge :D .

Asking this to the users of this phone here in India, how is the vibration strength of Z2? Can it be felt in your pocket? Is it strong or weak like Samsung Galaxy S lines?
[Xperia Z2 General] adya_2505:
It is sufficient. Probably on the weaker side but enough to get your attention if kept in your pocket. I use the smartband which also vibrates if a notification comes or call comes. It is not strong though.. :)
[Xperia Z2 General] devilsdouble:
Hmm. I am having a hard time and bad luck along with that in choosing phones. Sold my S4 to get an M7 just for this weak vibration thing, and regardless of what people said about M7's super strong vibration I am finding it weak too, better than S4, but can't be felt while you are walking.

Don't know how Z2's vibration is gonna be, I am guessing it will be same. Also this phone has poor speaker right, I mean ringtones are low in volume? I never use ringtones as mine is always on vibrate but if vibration is weak then ringtone has to do. And that smartband? If I wear it, could the vibration be felt at all?
[Xperia Z2 General] damagedmybrain:
how is the smartband? does it calculate calories burnt even if we just lift weights n al? or just based on the number of steps and speed?
[Xperia Z2 General] kartoonz:
thanks a lot for the break down bro... thats exactly how i will be using it... final nail on the coffin...:D

hell yes... thanks for confirming... i am currently using my xb90ex with one x and they are amazing... i was sure that the xb90 will sound amazing with the z2, but you have just confirmed it:highfive:... btw do you select noise cancellation mode once you plug in the earphones??
[Xperia Z2 General] :
i donno whether it is correct but i chose audio accesories in sound settings, i have ticked noise cancelling headset in there.. sorry if i am wrong
[Xperia Z2 General] adya_2505:
If you found m7's vibration weak then definitely z2 is weak. Smartband vibrates pretty strongly though and you notice it much easily being on your hand. As for the speaker issue I didn't find it to be weak but you can always crank up the volume level of your Ringtone using the Ringtone maker app.... I used to do that on my HTC EVO 3d... That phone had weak speaker!

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

It calculates how much you walk.. How much you run.. What you do on your phone the entire day... How much you sleep... Kinda like a very nosy neighbour... But no it cannot count your calories when you lift weight... It does count the calories you burn based on your running.and walking though...
[Xperia Z2 General] damagedmybrain:
thanks..! then its not worth it :( i just checked this new thing lg g watch on gsmarena...its pretty cool...kinda like the smartband but better in so many more ways ! anyway thanks/...

[Xperia Z2 General] sidm40:
heyy guys,

Planning to buy the Z2 .but i need to know a few things before i get my hands on it. I hope u guys can help me out since many of you already have got it.

1) How is the display in terms of outdoor visibility(especially bright sunlight)? What i got to know from a few sites is that the max brightness for the Z2 is around 460 nits compared to the iphone, s5 or even htc which has around 550 nits.

All my HTC phones had stunning displays. So just a little sceptical before getting another brand.

2) Is the phone really unwieldy in hands. I've only used HTC so far and the max size i have had is 4.7". how do you guys find it?

The thing is not many retail stores like croma or reliance digital have recd stocks yet (in mumbai) so i haven't got a chance to get the feel of the phone. Planning to order it from Flipkart.

3) And finally is the screen shatterproof. I know sony is not using gorilla glass. So do we have to use a scratch guard. I personally don't really like to use a scratch guard or even a cover for that matter.

Hope to get all your feedback soon. :)
[Xperia Z2 General] adya_2505:
I suggest you buy the phone only after looking at it because as you mentioned the size problem will entirely depend upon the size of your hands... If you found 4.7 large then you might find z2 unwieldy.

And about the screen.. No screen is completely shatterproof..it will shatter if you drop it on concrete or similar unforgiving surface...Sony has used dragontrail which I find more nice to touch than gorilla as I had a htc before this... I have used a screengaurd for both front and back glass.

Cover is really not needed unless you go for the white colour. Hope this helps. The phone is a beast though!!
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Well regarding brightness issue i need to ask the same to users of Z2 ..

according to Gsmarena review its not bright and max brightness is 488 nits and Z1 is more bright outdoor..so Z2 users please confirm if its too hard to see outside??
[Xperia Z2 General] kartoonz:
i was so excited to buy this baby, but now....gsmarena has scored the z2 poor in audio output... what a shame... i am an music enthusiast and now this news hurts so bad... damn... time to wait for the G3 perhaps...

Well its a water resistant device what could we expect from audio output but IMO it is pretty decent when i checked the demo unit in the sony store. i am waiting to get the phone just bcz i am running a little short in budget but only for few days.

Guys those who are worried about Z2 screen brightness I can tell though it is a bit less than Z1 but it is definitely more visible than S4 AMOLED screen. I was testing the screen at full brightness and guess what TRILUMINOS is doing it's job quite well. I was testing same image on both S4 and Z2 and S4 screen could not distinguish between light pink and light green and the image looks so much better in Z2. Also at full brightness this screen is on par with AMOLED in color saturation. Though blacks are definitely deep in AMOLED as those pixel are turned off which is not possible in LCDs. Overall a great screen.

And one more funny thing, I was testing and the white plastic around screen caught a slight dust and guess what I did. Took a handwash and completely washed the phone. So damn cool. So easy to clean :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 General] sierrarohan:
I am a audiophile as well but I can say that those tests don't matter much. In fact, Its written than Z2 does a better job than the Z1. Also, we shouldn't forget that this is Android!!! Numerous audio tweaks, amazing apps such as Viper4Android are at our disposal to tweak the sound as we want!!:p

LG flagships are notoriously famous for neglecting audio quality. Check Gsmarena review of GPro, G2. They tell u that the device audio quality is clean but QUIET. Mind you, here quiet means literally inaudible.

There will be many audio tweaks to increase volume level but all at the expense of more noise. Because such is the Qualcomm audio codec.

If you are an audiophile then LG is definitely not your phone.

So Z2 also rated as QUIET from Gsmarena.

Only HTC packs a hardware amplifier to amplify the sound from Qualcomm DAC. Hence it's insanely louder with zero noise and high quality.

There is one chance with Z2, the noice cancelling headphones. If the outside noise is cancelled out, the quiet audio itself will be loud enough. But Sony doesn't ship it with phone. You have to buy it and then try it out. So a lot depends on chance.

About outside visibility, its fine, its quiet bright once you turn off auto brightness and take the brightness level to 100%. As an owner I can confirm that you might have some issues during some usage, but where it matters like Dialer, Messaging, movies and pictures etc its so bright that it BLINDS YOU! Probably because X-Reality kicks in, in images and videos. And the Sony apps(dialer, messaging) have white background, making them extremely bright and visible.
