On paper, the Xperia Z2 sports the same 20.7MP Exmor RS sensor with an F/2.0 G Lens camera as its predecessor — the Xperia Z1. However, Sony has made a lot of underlying changes and tweaked its image processing algorithms to deliver better performance with its latest flagship handset. Initial reviews of the handset suggest that the Xperia Z2 camera can stand its own against the likes of the HTC One (M8), Samsung’s Galaxy S5 and the LG G Pro 2. 

The Xperia Z2 might not be available in all the regions across the world but that has not stopped Sony from rolling out a software update for the handset. The update fixes quite a few bugs and issues present in the stock firmware of the handset whilst also bringing some much needed enhancements.

The Sony Xperia Z2 is yet to be launched in global markets, but a developer over at the XDA forums has already managed to root the device. This proves that the upcoming Sony flagship isn’t any different from the Xperia Z1 as far as developer options are concerned.

Sony’s skin on its Xperia devices has never been considered a bloatware with its core apps always being praised for their beautiful and functional design. Usually, with time most of the core apps on Sony devices are easily ported to other Android devices as well.

With the Xperia Z2 system dump being released back in February, it was only a matter of time before some developers managed to port the core apps to other devices.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S5 has “the best performing smartphone display” ever tested by the experts at DisplayMate Technologies.

The company today published its latest report which compares the new flagship against its predecessor, the Galaxy S4, and Samsung’s high-end phablet the Galaxy Note 3 — and it beats them both in every way possible.
