[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] Haldi4803:
This phone is slippery as an eel. I can barely manage to hold it without droping it, but if you put it on a table or anything that's not perfectly flat it will slither away.

And it's really heavy.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] pakole:
Feel great with a case. I understand you might mean without the case. Yet, my biggest issue is the fingerprint scanner location. I often still press the camera lens.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] AlvinZahran98:
Without or with case, this is the most comfortable phone I've ever held. Yes, it feels heavy at times but at least it is comfortable enough to hold that I don't really care about that.

I don't know why, but I have no issues with fps location, it is good for both aesthetics and ergonomics (other phones that uses fps on the back, always place the fps higher than on the XZ2, but it doesn't look good to me). The real issue with the fps is how flush it is to the phone's rear glass, although I have no problems with it so far, since I'm using a case.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] paulle:
The weight of the phone doesn't annoy me, but the slipperiness is horrible. I remember some motorola phones years ago they had a metal frame and a kevlar strengthened plastic backside and because of the structure because of the fibers it was not slippery and very stable and looked good too. You never needed a case only a screen protector. (It was even better with the screen protectors, all displays were flat in these times. I hope the flat screens come back one, because I don't see any advantage with rounded screens, for me it's only a gimmick.).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] davidletterboyz:
Pros: The overall size. The reason I bought this phone is because I do not like big phone. However, I find the XZ2 compact is slightly too small; hence the XZ2 size is just fine. Of course, iPhone X form factor is the best (for me).

Cons: Slippery and definitely need a case. Even with a matte case, it's spinning like crazy. However, the reason why I gave 3/5 is not because of this; nor the weight (the weight is fine for me). The actual reason is the fingerprint scanner placement and the overall ergonomics of the UI/skin. OnePlus Oxygen is far ahead in this area. I had to change the launcher to Pixel launcher just because of the notification bar. I prefer to swipe down from home to bring it down, whilst the stock Xperia UI would trigger search bar. That is not as useful.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] eelpout:
Gosh, I have no problem with the fingerprint scanner placement. Maybe it's because I've never had one on the back before. I highly suspect that people who complain about that location simply because they are use to it being higher, not because being at the center is intrinsically wrong. In fact I think it's easier to find coming out of a pocket because it is towards the center. Whatever...

I've tried a bunch of cases and find they all help with the on desk spin factor. But I do feel a case is a must with this thing because of the slippery glass.

I'll echo others in that the shape of the back is one of the best things about the phone. People who ***** about the thickness obviously have never actually held one of these. My old XZ1 now feels too light; didn't think that would happen either. ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] marcogiannetta:
I think ergonomics is very good with this smartphone, I don't get why is everybody complaining about it.

Yeah it's big, but for its dimensions it's quite optimized.

I've been using it for 2 days and I've already got used with the fingerprint sensor position.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] davidletterboyz:
Pros: Lightweight.

Cons: UI is dated and needs major revamping. OnePlus Oxygen is definitely much better. But Sony is at least better than Samsung and Huawei skins.

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Sony Xperia XZ2's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] davidletterboyz:
The max brightness is great. No issue reading under the sun. IMHO, the only displays that can do better are Super AMOLEDs from Samsung (S9 and iPhone X).
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] payjo73:
Enough for me
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
How well do you know your fifty shades of grey? Rate this thread to express how good the Sony Xperia XZ2's display contrast is. A higher rating indicates that black is true black, rather than a very dark gray.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] davidletterboyz:
It has an IPS panel. So, don't expect AMOLED kind of true black.

Black reproduction is as good as an IPS panel could get. Viewing 16:9 Youtube contents on this phone will get black bars at both sides. Unless you are in a dark surrounding, the black bars are hardly noticeable if you are viewing the phone from front.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] davidletterboyz:
I'm using Standard mode. It has slight blue tint on white. Other than that, the colour is good. HDR10 Youtube videos look really really great. However, I noticed the display will change to max brightness for HDR10 content. I compared it with OnePlus 5T (1080p Super AMOLED but without HDR10 support) display, the difference is insignificant if I also crank OP5T's display to max brightness. Only the really bright scene has more differences.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
The Sony Xperia XZ2 has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] michal89chz:
Guys do you have problems with screen scrolling? I can see alot blur on screen when I scrool black tekst on white page. It makes me dizzy. Is it because poor pixel response time on that IPS panel? I had before Lenovo Zuk Z2 IPS and Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro AMOLED and no problems on them at all. I have this on Oreo and Android P beta... This LCD seems to be terrible... also too much of white colours, looks like milk splash on glass. Any way to fix it? Colour calibration does not help on these both issues.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] hotcakes_shinku:
Sounds like a faulty panel. Didn't see anyone complain about the screen yet. Poor pixel response will cause other issues as well, especially with fast paced games, so i doubt thats your issue. Try find another XZ2 to compare with, maybe the demo unit from your local store.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] davidletterboyz:
It's a sharp panel. But it has subtle, if hardly noticeable differences vs top end Super AMOLED from Samsung (iPX and S9 series) if you put them side by side and scrutinize closely.

You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed.

A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] davidletterboyz:
The minimal brightness is quite bright. It indirectly forced you to sleep earlier because it's too bright in the dark.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] bentina44:
Agreed! I have resorted to using a dimmer app. Not perfect, but it makes reading in bed possible again.

My router is placed on the first floor and I have trouble getting stable WiFi connection at ground floor, especially my kitchen, which is at the rear.

I am surprised nobody mentioning this. The XZ2 has the worst WiFi reception among phones I have used recently (P10, Redmi5A, Samsung S8, OP5T). Yes, it is even worse than the budget Redmi 5A! I am on .265 firmware.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] stipi69:
Bought it today and bottom speaker is ubearable to listen at times, distorted sounds, as if it was blown or teared or something. I even tested menu: *#*#7378423#*#* (this is observation from 6 hours of the purchase).

I go way back with xperia long way back, and this is first time i experience this issue.

After couple of reboots and fuul charge through night and lots of speaker max. testing i get clear sound today, i can't explain it, i cant replicate distorted sound, maybe it was fault between updates. I am keeping it for now, will post if error reocurs.

Overall phone is a beast
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] stipi69:
Distortion came back for hour or two today, now again it is completly gone, bafled!!!

Aaaaa!!!

I am investigating if it is something to it, if not i bring it to exchange tomorrow (looks like they may be other phones suffering from speaker distortions, acording to claims due to equalizer??)

This are just guesses but until tomorrow i set my equalizer to default... Check this link:

https://www.google.si/amp/s/xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/help/speaker-distortion-fix-t3744177/amp/

Please annyone with this issues set equ. To default and report, thank you

And I have got a replacement with proper and unbroken seal now, all seems fine fingers crossed
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] ryotaru:
I just received mine today, updated and imported all my accounts then noticed the terrible distortion from the bottom speaker! ? I factory reset it to prepare for an exchange and decided to try it again. Since the factory reset, it SEEMS fine in the tests. I don't know if I should go through the trouble of restoring my accounts and media and hope for the best or just exchange it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] stipi69:
I too got speaker distortion on my first xz2, believe me nothing will help, tried all, distortion came and went i was confused.

So i replaced it 3th day and now after a month of use no problems, got nice replacement

And dont wait too long, i barerly got exchanged cause i waited too long
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] ryotaru:
I already contacted the shop for an exchange. I was hoping this one would work; like you said, this phone is awesome! Good thing I didn't apply the screen protector first, haha.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] stipi69:
I am glad you get replacement, and am sure they gave you good one now ?

can you just write in which country you buyed?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] ryotaru:
I'm in the US, but I bought the H8296 HK version. What about yours?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] stipi69:
My model before was 8266 dual sim Europe-Slovenia, now i got same model and works great ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] ryotaru:
Just following up. The replacement I got also had the speaker issue. I ended up just returning it and ordering from another place. I received this third one a few days ago and it is PERFECT. The sound is louder and much clearer than the previous two; I'm loving it! ^_^ One thing I did notice, the first two said "Rev 1" on the box and this new one is "Rev 2".
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] AlvinZahran98:
Mine says Rev 3 and yes, it sounds really loud but I can't compare it to other XZ2 models because I only have one.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] datzno2004:
I have a distorted sound on 2 speakers. And I also figured out how to fix it with the sim card tray
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] Mario.D:
How?

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] Eye_twitch:
Question about the speaker at the bottom. Is it suppose to be a bit lower in volume than the top speaker? Mine is a bit lower, but I can't find any information on it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Real Life Review] davidletterboyz:
For me, the speakers is 3.5/5.

Pros: Front facing true stereo (left and right channels)

Cons: Sounds thin and lacking bass. Max volume is really average, can't compete with the likes of Samsung S9 and HTC U12. Even the OnePlus 5T single firing speaker was louder. Not sure about you guys, the S-force surround toggle doesn't make any difference to me at all.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] Dxue:
it is a fine and quick device. But after using a custom rom on my z3 compact, i am just missing a few things that i find essential.

1) missing the data traffic monitor 2)missing the option to switch recents and back buttons.

3) missing the 2 extra buttons on the navigation bar.

(yes, they are from gravity box in xposed module)

the standard file explorer is also very bad. it always goes to download map standard, when you want to move or copy a file.

and it has facebook, avg and amazon apps that you can't delete and facebook even has an facebook app manager app that doesn't show up and you need to disable it through the apps menu.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] FcukBloat:
for point #2 can't you do that from within system UI tuner?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] Dxue:
haven't found the option in any of the menu :(
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] FcukBloat:
but system ui tuner is there? did you try pressing and holding the settings gear icon in the status bar to see if the system ui tuner appears? tia!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] Dxue:
Well that is something new to me. Didn't know that system ui tuner was actually an option. Made the wrong assumption that you meant changing things through the normal menu's. System ui tuner only has options for do not disturb and status bar. No navigation bar :(. I do have to say that I just updated the software today to a version with the security patches from 1 April.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] FcukBloat:
thanks for the answer, what a pity! so we will probably have to wait for root also to be able to re-arrange navbar buttons :crying:;) or maybe that is also possible via adb and someone comes out with a solution earlier? :fingers-crossed: what do you think master [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION]? :laugh:

ps. my z2c should be delivered in a couple of days maximum from now! :victory:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] FcukBloat:
[MENTION=3658203]Dxue[/MENTION] I know you will be loving me..! :laugh::cool:

I could swap navbar buttons! :victory::victory:

just used this app ;) info who pointed me there was found here!! :good::good:

ps. that app is simply great! apart from swapping the back and recent buttons, I could also add two extra buttons (one for showing the volume panel so I can avoid pressing the hw buttons for doing that, and one for expanding the notification panel) see screen!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] Dxue:
that is a great app! thanks for the heads up:good:.

after reading it, i suddenly remembered reading this last year too! I just never took the time to actually remember it, because i used xposed to do all that and felt it was an unnecessary app. UNTIL NOW! hahaha.

btw, i like the theme/icon pack that you are using. mind telling me where you got that from?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] FcukBloat:
taz icon theme from the store, very nice I like it, and particular compared to all others I tried :o

newbee, but love it

hello, all

i'm newbee in android phone

but i love this phone for basic (but importants) points

- good autonomie

- compact size

- good apn

- a full 5" screen in a small formfactor
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] bill3508:
So far I really like this device. It's my smallest device yet and I love it. Performance is great and battery life is outstanding. Low light performance with the stock camera app is my only gripe as it seems to add artifacts. Hoping gcam will be available before too long. Decent case selection especially when compared to the Essential.
[Touch CDMA General] jonjonphenomenon:
I have a photobucket account and I have sent pictures to photobucket via email. but it didn't don on me until the other day that we can use the direct link that it gives in your email to send mms. what i did was went to photobucket and adjust my mobile settings to NOT link back to my album, i also have mine as privite but i don't know if that helps, but what this will do is when you send a pic to someone they won't be able to look through you whole album...lol. but after that i copy my photobucket upload address, and then put it in my contacts and named it simplely,"photobucket", so when i snap a pic/video i will select the send via email and send it to my photobucket upload address, then photobucket will send you a email telling you that your upload has been successful and it will give you the direct link to that pic.....copy the link then bring up sms put in the person(s) number and paste the link in the message field and you're done it you're just sent a mms via text.....when the person(s) get the message they will click on the link and it will bring up the pic....you can also send videos to photobucket but i haven't tried to send it as a mms yet but it should work....try it for youself it may have a few steps but i think its better than trying to find out and set up all your buddies phone email address especially if you just met the person......but anyway it worked for me, let me know if it worked for you or if you have a better way.:)
[Touch CDMA General] josuech:
Well well, this actually works. It takes a few steps to get it done, but never the less... it works!
