The words that best describe the design of the smartphone are sleek, stylish and waterproof. The second addition in the Xperia Z series closely resembles its predecessor being only a bit larger with a 5.78 x 2.89 x 0.32 inch size and a few grams lighter with a weight of 163 grams. As the Xperia Z1, the Sony Xperia Z2 will also be IP58 certified, meaning it will be dust proof and water resistant.

However, what makes the device a worthy competitor on today’s mobile market are its specifications. With 3GB of RAM, running Android OS v4.4.2 KitKat you can rest assured that you’ll be experiencing the best smartphone performance for the device’s price as the smartphone features an Adreno 330 GPU, a Quad-Core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 processor and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset.
