[MWC 2014] The Sony Xperia Z2 is official, isn’t all that Sirius after All

We’ve had several leaks leading up to MWC 2014 that Sony was intending to release a slightly upgraded Xperia Z1, and as luck would have it, Sony officially announced the Sony Xperia Z2 at Barcelona today. As expected, the Z2 is more of an iteration than a whole new flagship smartphone, most likely due to the bad press that the Z1 received due to the poor viewing angles on its highly touted Triluminos display.

To make amends, Sony has upped the screen size to a 5.2-inch 1080p Triluminos display and is powered by the newly announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.3GHz with 3GB RAM. Sony has also upped the battery size from 3,000mAh to 3,200mAh, as well as adding stereo speakers to the device and noise-cancelling abilities with used with Sony’s Noise Cancelling Headset. The Z2 will of course still be utilizing the Z1′s crown jewel, the 20.7MP rear camera that is capable of 4K video recording.

While it might look like there have only been a few improvements, the Sony Xperia Z2 looks like a much more attractive package than its predecessor, particularly if Sony has ironed out the viewing angles issues. Sony says that the Z2 will become available in March and looks to be available in the same colours as the Z1, presumably at a similar price point to the Z1 when it launched.
