This is subjective and open for debate.
However in my personal opinion the Z2 is as near to perfect as it gets.
The likes of Samsung as much as I enjoy my Note 3 I have grown fed up with gimmicks that I never use. It's fun at first then the novelty wears off.
The Note range is perhaps the exception where you have the S-pen that can be useful.
Other manufacturers are beginning to look at the market and perhaps scan forums ect to get information that will improve their product.
What I mean by that is that some now are begining to focus on implementing feature that are useful. Rather than relying on gimmicks to aquire initial attention.
The Z2 falls into that in the fact that it's focused, no real gimmicks in reference to fingerprint scanners or heart rate monitors. The S5 nearly had it but typical Samsung gimmicks are a must. The download booster, privacy mode ect are great and the camera.
The light and Zippy experience on the Z2 is a joy, as is the camera, the noise cancellation, front facing speakers are great (stop comparing or trying to, to the M8) and you won't be disappointed. The M8 is not waterproof so therefor they are going to be louder, Sony had to retain that ip rating which will effect the sound quality a little.
Overall I'm one very happy customer and the Z2 won't disappoint to whoever already has the idea of purchasing.
It just depends on what your after in a smartphone I suppose.
But for me the Z2 covers all that I like and need.
So well done Sony

Re: Sony Xperia Z2 the perfect smartphone?
I don't believe there is the perfect anything especially in the smart phone Arena. I do agree the Z2 gets almost everything right.

The word perfect itself is very personal, the Z2 is my perfect device, to others it won't suite.
But the Z2 is one focused device

Re: Sony Xperia Z2 the perfect smartphone?
It would have been my perfect phone if it was made available in a 32gb option. That's why I went ahead and bought the z2 tablet instead and it's a beauty. By now 32gb needs to become the standard especially with apps increasing in size.

Re: Sony Xperia Z2 the perfect smartphone?
Yes have seen reviews of the Z2 tablet and it's a consideration, must admit I use my phone for everything so perhaps the tablet would just sit their used which wouldn't be fair lol
Yes 16gb is enough for me coupled with a 64gb card installed and I can upgrade to 128gb.
But 32gb should be the standard for all flagships.

Re: Sony Xperia Z2 the perfect smartphone?
I agree that phones nowdays should come standard with 32gb. I don't know how Apple can justify the ?100 price difference between their 16th and 32gb models either. Memory costs pennies nowdays.
As far as the phone being the best ever. I don't know. I love mine. It really is fantastic. But their is always room for improvement. For me now it is the best as it's the phone I chose over its rivals. I don't think I'll buy Samsung again until they scrap their bloatware and make a premium phone. HTC nearly had me but just needed some killer features.

Re: Noise Cancellation Headphones
They are awesome to be fair. I love them when I go out walking the dog. Sound is clear with plenty of bass.

Read my other posts, you'll see I agree. The Z2 is the closest to perfect right now. If it was 32gb then I think it would be very close to perfect.
There is no other phone out right now that can match the Z2 as a real world phone. If Sony added the magnetic cradle in the box in the UK it would have been even better (although I got a ten quid cradle on Amazon which is absolutely brilliant)

Re: Noise Cancellation Headphones
Yep, very good indeed. Having never used noise cancelling headphones before is really weird, you can barely hear anything! But the sound is excellent.
As physical headphones though, they aren't great. They don't have the flat, tangle free cable and they don't have a remote. I'll turn a blind eye to the fact that have adopted a standard that means your old headphones won't work.

Yeh 32gb should be the new standard in flagships.
But it's not detracting to much as there is that Sd card slot that supports cards upto 128gb.
Wow I just love this phone, I enjoy my media and photography and the Z2 provides.
It's Focused yup I use that word alot lol but it is apt. It's refined and when you get that feeling time and effort went into it, that is passed on.
Knock on is a great little feature ok borrowed from LG but it's good to share right? Lol
I can't see why some would want to case the Z2 though. Yes the benefits if it drops then it lowers the risk of damage. But I just can't and will just have to make sure I don't lol

Re: Sony Xperia Z2 the perfect smartphone?
Yes, if no 32 gb would make it a useless phone to me. I got to have at least 32 gb internal storage with an SD slot for at least 128 gb. I would like to have 64 gb internal but 32 gb will suffice. I have a full 64 gb sd card in my phone now but I am thinking I need to get a 128 gb sd card.

Re: Sony Xperia Z2 the perfect smartphone?
What are you keeping on your phone that requires that much space? I can see the space required for the apps, but how much data do you really NEED to have on your phone? I'm not knocking you, just really curious.

Another very useful feature is the built in answering machine, why?
Most Networks here in the UK charge x amount every time you check, this can soon mount up and be quite costly.
I really do like my Z2 alot

Re: Sony Xperia Z2 the perfect smartphone?
Earlier this year after I finally tried my first XPERIA, the Z Ultra I knew I was going to buy the Z2. I was impressed but sadly it was too big, even the Note 3 was great (my favourite series from Samsung) but I think 5.2" is where I draw the line.
I'll be honest, I don't know why I guess it's because the Z Ultra had it but I really thought the Z2 had an IR Blaster as well. This was the reason why I even said it's like a perfect marriage between hTc's M8 and Samsung's S5. Last night I just thought I couldn't find the IR Blaster and the App, I even Googled it. LOL I'll be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed a little bit. I guess I'll have to go old school and use the remote.
If you can't tell the IR Blaster is what's keeping the Z2 from perfect.

Re: Sony Xperia Z2 the perfect smartphone?
Well the Xperia ZL2 (i think), released soon in Japan will have almost the exact same specs as the Z2 but comes in 5.0".Earlier this year after I finally tried my first XPERIA, the Z Ultra I knew I was going to buy the Z2. I was impressed but sadly it was too big, even the Note 3 was great (my favourite series from Samsung) but I think 5.2" is where I draw the line.
