"We have redefined the smartphone once again through our camera. Xperia Z2 offers an innovative experience that captures memories in stunning detail through 4K video shooting, or offers new ways to use the camera with our unique Xperia camera apps. Furthermore, the Best of Sony has been delivered in the sound quality and customers are now able to listen to their music even in noisy environments without interruptions thanks to our acclaimed digital noise cancelling technology."

In terms of specifications, the new Sony flagship smartphone sports a 5.2-inch full HD Triluminos display for mobile with Live Color LED powered by X-Reality for mobile picture engine.

Under the hood, the new Sony Xperia Z2 packs a powerful quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor paired with Adreno 330 graphics and a hefty 3GB of RAM, which should make it notably faster than its predecessor, the Xperia Z1.

The smartphone further features a large 3,200 mAh battery with Sony's Stamina Mode, which is designed to automatically turn off unnecessary functions while the display is inactive in order to save power and maximize battery efficiency. On the software side, the Sony Xperia Z2 rocks Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box.
