Xperia Z2 hands on experience photos – Overview of KitKat UI

Something extraordinary from Sony has officially been unveiled at MWC 2014 in form of Xperia Z2, the successor which takes over the legacy of Xperia Z1. Sony also launched Xperia Z2 Tablet along with Xperia M2. Well no wonder Sony has only facelifted some features in Xperia Z1 as when compared to Xperia Z2.

Let’s have a look at some of the Xperia Z2 hands on experience photos and a preliminary review with it. Folks at Digi-Wo have managed to get hands on Xperia Z2.

Xperia Z2 hands on experience photos

Xperia Z2 is 146.8 x 73.3 x 8.2 mm in dimensions.

Xperia Z2 features Sony Logo on the top embossed on the panel itself.

Dual stereo speakers.

On the right profile of Xperia Z2 there is signature power button, external volume rocker keys and micro-SD card slot.

On top there is 3.5 mm water proof headphone jack.

Both SIM card slot and USB ports are present under one flap which is a big disadvantage as USB port is to be opened number of times so every time it is opened dust will also enter in SIM card slot.

Noise reduction mic is present beside headphone jack.

Back panel is made up of glass just like Xperia Z1.

Xperia Z2 features same 20.7 MP rear cam and LED flash beneath it just like Xperia Z1.

Xperia logo at the bottom.

Xperia Z2 KitKat 17.1.A.0.453 firmware UI overview

Xperia Z2 comes with KitKat out of the box which features new Xperia KitKat UI.

New Lockscreen is noticed, camera can be accessed from the bottom.

New Lockscreen transition effect.

Transparent status bar with all white icons in Xperia Z2. New Battery icon.

Option to choose two home launchers.

New notification panel and quick settings option.

Intelligent call handling and backlight controls options are added.

Android 4.4.2 KitKat Out of the box in Xperia Z2 ( 17.1.A.0.453 firmware )

Xperia Z2 Camera App Overview

Xperia Z2 supports 4K video recording and some new Sony Smart Camera apps have been added like TimeShift Video, new AR effect app, Creative effect, Background Defocus, Vine. “What’s New” feature has been added which seems a replacement of Sony Select app.

15 MP mode is seen in manual settings.

Earlier today we posted Xperia Z2 IPS display vs Xperia Z1 TFT display comparisons, have a look.

Xperia Z2 vs Xperia Z1 vs Z1 Compact Display Comparison – IPS Live Color LED Display against TFT screen

Sony’s new Android 4.4.2 KitKat UI seems very nice, it would be great if Sony brings the same UI on Xperia Z1, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1S and Xperia Z2 Compact atleast.

What do you think guys, liked the Xperia Z2 pics ? Are you feeling Sony snatched flagship status from your Xperia Z1 too early, let us know. Drop your comments below.

Rumored Sony Sirius aka Xperia Z2 back panel frame photos leaked, is it real ?

Sony Sirius is in rumors now after @Evleaks tweeting saying that it may be launched at MWC 2014. As per @Evleaks Sony Sirius will sport a 5.2″ display hopefully a QHD display powered by Snapdragon 800 MSM8974AB SoC processor. Recently we spotted that Snapdragon Wikipedia page has listed Sony Sirius under the brand name Xperia Z2 in Snapdragon 800 as well as Snapdragon 805 Soc. Well till now no render of Sony Sirius rumored to be Xperia Z2 has come up, it seems now it has.

As seen on Digi-Wo it seems Sony Sirius aka Xperia Z2 back panel photos have been leaked, it’s a purple colored panel which shows that camera sensor location and LED flash position is different as compared to Xperia Z1 and it has a secondary microphone hole at back. Xperia branding is also seen at the back panel. As per the tipster, it may support a 5.3″ screen and the back panel seems of carbon-fiber material.

Check below the Sony Sirius aka Xperia Z2 back panel photo. The pic can be a fake or photoshopped, can’t say at this moment that is a real pic.

As per the tipster, it may support a 22.7 MP ( 23 MP ) rear cam with Sony “G” lens.

Well MWC 2014 event is near and we hope Sony launch its first flagship device for the year 2014, though it said that Xperia Z1 will continue the flagship status in year 2014 but for how long, only time will tell.

What do you think guys over Sony Sirius, it is really Xperia Z2 or some other device from Sony.

Snapdragon SoC Wikipedia page lists Xperia Z2 Sirius under Snapdragon 805 and 800 chipsets

If you remember a few days back we saw @Evleaks reporting that a 5.2″ device named Sony Sirius with Snapdragon 800 MSM8974AB SoC processor. Well a lot speculation is going on after the Sony Sirius, it may be the Sony’ new flagship device “Xperia Z2” but is it ? Sony recently reported that Xperia Z1 will remain flagship in 2014 for sometime, but for how long ?

As per @Evleaks, Sony Sirius may debut in MWC2014 event exclusively. Just now we spotted that Snapdragon SoC Wikipedia page has listed Sony Sirius under the name Xperia Z2 in two categories of SoC i.e. Snapdragon 800 MSM8974-AB and Snapdragon 805 MSM8084.

Check below the Snapdragon SoC Wikipedia page listing of Xperia Z2 ( Sony Sirius ). [ Click to ZOOM ]

Well if Sony Sirius or Xperia Z2 comes with Snapdragon 805 SoC, then it will be one of the the first device to get launch with it. It supports Adreno 420 GPU with 2.5 GHz quad core processor, Snapdragon’s SoC latest build.

It is still not very clear that is Sony Sirius really Xperia Z2, as information found on Snapdragon SoC Wikipedia page can’t be taken as so sure now for the time being as they have listed in under two categories which arises the doubts.

What do you think guys, is arrival of Xperia Z2 near ? Drop your comments on it.
