Please double check for dropped frames and audio-video sync.I was able to record 1080p on a class 4 but when I closely examined on PC,it dropped a few frames.

Class 10 cards are certified to deliver continuous 10Mbps while they may deliver short bursts of higher speed..so it may not give constant 30Mbps required for 4k.

[Xperia Z2 General] sachinaik:
So a write speed of 30Mbps required for 4k record ?!!! Is it bits or Bytes ?

Class 10 delivers 10MBps write speed where B stands for Byte.
[Xperia Z2 General] amitoj96:
Oops!Sorry I forgot,:pbut I read online that technically on UHS-3 cards(3 times faster than Class10) can record 4k with 0 issues.Yeah it must be 30 MBps

Ok,now I believe to have got my calculations right:4k on Z2 has 55Mbps bitrate(can someone verify?) which comes out to 6.9 MBps...so in lay man terms a class 10 card should do.

Can anyone with a better technical knowledge of video encoding and card speeds tell me if above idea is correct and class 10 card will record 4k on Z2 trouble free?

Does anyone know if the phone is available anywhere in Bangalore. Indiranagar and Infantry Road sony centres both saying two days now :(
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
That's the issue. They come in a pack of 3. Cost in UK is 20GBP, so should be 1000-1200 rs for 3 in India.

You can't choose colors separately. :/

Here are the pack details :

Not gonna go that route...that's what I had a feeling of too

[Xperia Z2 General] Denhot:
MicroSD cards above UHS 1, I've hardly seen.

Also UHS 2 and above have different pin layout so I doubt Z2 supports it.

A class 10 Card will do 10 MB/s | 80 Mb/s theoretically.

UHS 1 cards go higher, my SanDisk ultra promises 30MB/s | 240 Mb/s.

Besides all this your phone should have a UHS 1 controller.

For eg. My card doesn't ever give me more than 14 MB/s while doing any thing on an Xperia Z

But on a note 2 it pulled 23 MB/s.

Again I doubt if Sony has implemented that but won't know till someone tries :P

Assuming a 4k video, if it maintains the same quality as a 1080p video bitrate will be 4 times assuming 15Mbps for 1080, 60mbps for 4k...so obviously don't go for lower than class 10 for 4k.

Memory Card speeds are stated in Megabytes per second. Where as Video, Audio Bitrate is measured in Megabits per second...

There is a lot of confusion regarding this matter but Mbps is Megabits per second and MB/s is Megabytes per second.

We get speed in MB/s when speed in Mbps is divided by 8..

Overheat

Those with z2 plz check if the device is overheating when using the camera on 4k and on 1080p... its the only reason stopping me from buying one..
[Xperia Z2 General] amitoj96:
Where did you hear that it heats on 1080p also. If it does then it's a pity as the old galaxy grand with slow components records 1080p without any issues.

[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
The camera heats up if you keep on using VR effects and 4K for long. If the heat is more then the camera app will close but after waiting for 1 min I was able to use camera again. Was stress testing the camera.

Also if you use camera in normal mode like 1080p and taking shots then it is fine. I think still some software enhancement is required. Also the processing overhead for 4K and VR effect is quite heavy so Sony needs to do some optimizations.
[Xperia Z2 General] kannanX10:
does ur serial no starts with CB?
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Yup
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:

Now I'm also afraid of cancelling the order because it might take them 5-7 days that too minimum to refund the balance in my card, so that'll only result in more delay.

Which one is the best to protect screen from scratches. Wet type or dry type screen guards? I'm afraid to use my Z2 without screen guard.
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Actually it was a bit hot coz I was playing a game (Riptide GP2) and after that I used VR effect then I started recording around 4 mins then camera closed. A message pop up came saying that due to heat the camera needs to close. After approx 2 mins I started the camera and it was fine.

Go with glass screen protector ... they are high quality and you will also get the feeling of glass instead of plastic. Thou they are a bit expensive. Search on eBay for Nillkin glass protector.

I had ordered one and it will reach within 10 days and till that time I am using Amzer screen guard. I know screen is gorilla glass but dont want to take any chances.

[Xperia Z2 General] amitoj96:
Thanks for precise answer..I am not very much into VR or background defocus,so it should work for me.4k heat is a real issue,but even S5 and Note 3 dont go beyond 5 minutes.:sly:

So,heating is a glass side effect as evident from heating even in Riptide GP2 and may ruin extended gaming sessions...may be in future when games powerful enough to use Adreno 330 to max arrive:( Z2 will get throttled faster than competition :banghead:

Really now it feels like metal frame of M8 might help it beat Z2 in performance..Z2 is a jack of all trades but may not be master of any(qoute someone on M8 India thread)..more importantly performance in what I can see by overheats:eek:

sent from my Nexus 7 2013 running stock 4.4.2 on elementalx
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Metal is a good conductor of heat but still M8 has 2 gigs of RAM. The real downside is the camera. Almost every person who uses social networking sites tends to crop some (if not all) pictures and extra resolution of Z2 helps in that case. Also the extra gigs of RAM means you dont need any task killer. My Z2 shows 1.6GB free RAM and trust me I use a lot of Apps which use background service. So I can say the performance is quite impressive. You are never going to run out of RAM.

Also lot light pics are quite good. Much better than Z1. Also tried Google camera with 20.7 MP settings but I think Sony camera app with superior auto gives similar result.

And one thing I liked is the pictures have depth to them. I mean if you focus on some object the background seems to have some depth and you see slight blur because of focusing. It is like a DSLR shot (I mean similar). I see camera has improved over Z1.
[Xperia Z2 General] sierrarohan:
Well that's a great news!! Heating of Z2 while using 4K Recording or AR Effects is not currently an issue for me! Bro, can you clarify one thing for me?

There is 720p@120fps shooting mode, right? What I want to know is, is it possible to store the original 120fps video on SD card and then watch or slow them down on PC using VLC or some player? Or is it mandatory to edit the the video on-device before saving it?
[Xperia Z2 General] mahit_aditya:
Ringtone and notifications sound is very low. Any problem guys with my phone.
[Xperia Z2 General] amitoj96:
Yup, I also feel Z2 is a better device.I admit I was over expecting from Z2,there is nothing like a perfect smartphone..but Z2 is much closer to perfection with no real deal breaker issue.

M8 is cool but camera kills the deal..if they had atleast 8Mp, I could have given Z2 a miss and got M8 for great design and faster touch response.

It's a joke that M8 despite its 4Ultrapixel gimmick lacks in low light vs Z2 as in Pocketnow review.:o

So if overheating while gaming is absent or negligible Z2 is awesome..I am sure G3 won't be able to shake it's throne if it happens to have 2k on Snapdragon 801 as performance is bound to suffer along with batterylife. Best phone imaginable:Metal bodied Z2 with better heat dissipation

:D

change the ringtone/notification tone... the default one has low volume :p
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
That's a great idea ... I never thought to save the entire video in slow motion. And the answer is yes. After recording select the entire duration and there you have it. Cheers :laugh:

I was playing for quite a while and it does heat up (you can say it's warm) just like any other phone. The only thing is camera with 4K or VR effect for longer period of time generates more heat.

If you record a timeshift video it will save two versions, one with 120fps and one with edited slow motion video.

[Xperia Z2 General] amitoj96:
Ok,that's fine as getting warm is normal. My Nexus 7 2013 heats up madly even in winters(a nice heater for my hands:p) running Real Racing 3,however not so much on Asphalt 8(despite frame drops at max) and Riptide GP2....the above was it's condition without rooting.

So you had no frame drops and such things while it got warm on games? I need only Superior Auto Mode mostly..VR and 4k on rare occasions,just a show off thing:)
