White Xperia Z2 hands on photos – Elegant White look from Sony

Sony launched Xperia Z2 officially at MWC 2014 as H1 flagship device along with flagship Xperia Z2 Tablet. Xperia Z2 is launched in black, white and purple color shades unlike Xperia Z1 Compact pink and lime are missing from Xperia Z2 line up. Well as Sony already stated that they are not going to follow the same omni-balance design for their flagship devices forever and they will continue the strategy of launching a flagship device after 6 months so it may happen that Xperia Z2 be the last flagship device with omni-balance design but that is the thing of future, let concentrate on the main topic.

Xperia Z2 features android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box, Snapdragon 801 Soc MSM8974AB 2.3 GHz quad core processor, Adreno 330 GPU, 3GB RAM in a 5.2″ FHD Triluminos and world’s first Live color LED display. Xperia Z2 features 20.7 MP Exmor RS rear cam capable of recording 4K videos ( 3840×2160 pixels/30p ) and 2.2 MP front cam.

We have already posted black Xperia Z2 hands on photos with a preliminary overview of features and UI and white color contrast comparison of Xperia Z2 vs Xperia Z1 vs Xperia Z1 Compact and it seems there is a difference in white color shade among them. Today we have brought for you White Xperia Z2 hands on photos which are courtesy of @latter21 from Digi-Wo and it really looks very elegant. Let’s have a look at them.

A few days back we saw Xperia Z Ultra C6833 getting android 4.4.2 14.3.A.0.681 firmware update OTA notification on a user’s handset which was believed to be an internal leak or an update on a developer’s handset. 14.3.A.0.681 firmware screenshots revealed the new KitKat UI from Sony and other features also. 14.3.A.0.681 firmware system dump is now available for download and some apps and features have already been ported to other Xperia handsets.

Just now @latter21 from Digi-Wo, a credible source when it comes to Sony Xperia handset’s leaks and other internal info; has just posted a pic of Xperia Z Ultra C6802 running on 14.3.A.0.747 firmware which is android 4.4.2 KitKat, a build higher than what we saw previously ( 14.3.A.0.681 firmware ).

Take a look at sneak peek of Xperia Z Ultra’s latest KitKat 14.3.A.0.747 firmware build about phone details.

As mentioned by original source, there is no tap to wake up feature included. 14.3.A.0.681 firmware details revealed that answering machine and simple home launcher is included while there is no smart call handling, smart backlight control and camera apps are same like on android 4.3.

It was already known that Sony has started testing a new 14.3.A.0.747 firmware build for Xperia Z1, Z Ultra and Z1 Compact and after seeing the leaked pic of 14.3.A.0.747 firmware about phone running on Xperia Z Ultra, we can hope it may be the final build to get released, though nothing is confirmed yet.

Xperia L 15.3.A.1.16 firmware spotted in open source archive of Sony

Xperia L 15.3.A.1.14 firmware update rolled a lot ago in mid January, the then no firmware has been certified for Xperia L C2104, C2015 neither any update rolled by Sony. It seems a few days back Sony posted the open source archive for Xperia L 15.3.A.1.16 firmware build which indicates that Sony might release this 15.3.A.1.16 firmware update soon in future, though nothing is confirmed yet as this build has not been spotted on PTCRB also yet.

Bugs like flickering screen display, battery drain, poor camera quality ( for some users ), touch responsiveness issues etc are being faced by Xperia L users on 15.3.A.1.14 firmware. 15.3.A.1.16 firmware open source archive is available for download from Sony Developer website now.

Interestingly Sony has mentioned 15.3.A.1.16 firmware name on post download page but on download link it says “15.3.A.1.12.tar.bz2” which is an older build of Xperia L. Check the screenshot from the Sony’s post.
