I'm pretty sure Antutu X would put those lofty M8 scores in their place. I really love the Z2 one thing that is showing up time and time again is that the Z2 has better low light performance than the HTC M8. That was one of their key selling points but I'd say the Z2 has mostly got the competition beat.

I'm not too sure if antutu scores are accurate cos my phone scored more when I first did the test when I got my phone. In other thread some stock rom users score more.

Its been almost a week since I got my phone and I agree with the OP.

About the charging times, yeah it is kinda slow, my Xperia tablet Z is the same way, anyway battery life is awesome so I can go thru the day with no hassle and let it charge during the night.

Double tap works fine for me, sometimes it doesn't but I guess the screen is so sensitive that maybe it senses my leg when it is in my pocket or maybe it gets confused somehow by sensing the fabrics of the pockets, I don't know. But when I have it on my desk and I double tap it, it works all the time. I also make sure that the screen is clean of fingerprints, grease and oils.

Notifications volume should be separated from the ringtone volume like other devices, it is also very low.

Lastly I agree that a Reset button on the power menu should be available.

Even with these issues, this phone is perfect for me. :)

    Im using the device since Tuesday and here are my findings about the device.

    Lets start with the Goodies,

    Once you hold the phone you know you have got a piece of unique quality phone. It is designed really nice. If I would trust myself I would never use a case for this device.

    Battery life is amazing. Nobody can complain about the battery life of this phone unless they have a faulty battery. First day charged it for 4 hours and lasted me 1 day 16 hours. I totally drained my battery and fully charged it and lasted me 1 day 17 hours. (5 hours of screen time on both charges). I would give 10/10 on battery life thats for sure.

    Camera is awesome. There are no words to describe to camera quality. I was really worried about the camera quality after seeing some silly pictures taken with the device. So many options to choose on camera. You definitely don't need a third party camera app for this phone.
    Recorded some videos at 1080p quality. I can only say "wow". I was mirroring it on my 3D HDTV, everything is so clear. When you upload it to Youtube you dont get as good as quality you have in your phone. Do not judge the video quality of the camera at youtube or any other video uploading websites. They always trim your video and reduce the quality of the videos.

    Screen, it is really nice and clear. I was also worried about the screen as someone said screen is really dim. That guy must be blind. On highest brightness you cannot even look at the screen cos its shining on your eyes :). When it is sunny outside if the screen brightness is not at full you can hardly see the screen but if it is full its fine for me at least.

    Sound quality is pretty good on both ways either on speakers or headphones. It can actually be too loud if you are watching good quality movie or listening good quality songs.

    And the baddies.

    Notification sound and vibration are so low. You can hardly hear your notifications. I have changed my whatsapp notification vibrate to long one still sometimes cant feel it. Hope they will fix it with an update.

    Double touch to wake feature is not responsive. I was like tapping 10 times to wake the phone up where I supposed to tap twice. I just dont use it any more. Also I believe it drains the battery.

    4K Video recording is out of sync. I believe that cos the screen has to be 4K to get the sync at the right time. It is quite pointless to record videos at 4K unless you have 4K TV.

    Fingerprints on back glass I mean it gets dirty so easily I even tried that by washing my hands and after playing a wee while it leaves the fingerprints on the glass is annoying me. I have got a case that problem is sorted but still something could be done for it.

    Charging battery is seems so slow to me, takes over 4 hours to fully charge. Not too sure if I have got a faulty charger or everyone is the time as me but it should be quicker in my opinion.

    There is no restart button on power menu all the other phones have it. I have no idea why they never put restart button on the power menu.

    So far I can say those things about the phone but I will update it when I find out new stuff.

    Judging from your response on the charging time, I believe the charger provided by Sony has a low current. Since Z2 has quick charge 2.0, get a stronger charging adapter to get a faster charging time.

    I've used double tap to wake a lot, it has never failed once so far. Maybe you accidentally putt glove mode on?

    My battery lasted over 22 hours, with 38% left (5 hours 33 mins screen time). Battery charged from 38% to 90% in about an hour, used Sony charger (microsd).

    I agree about the ring tone and notification volumes being too soft.

    I would just like to add I have the same issue with the tap to wake functionality. Its intermittent at best.

    I have noticed it happens when the phone has been idle for some time. It will take around 4 taps to wake the screen. Once you do it once, it will pretty much do it perfect every time repeatedly. That's as far as my trouble shooting has established so far.

    It is definitely an issue though and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

    Where did you get your Z2 from? Wasn't O2 by any chance?

    I'm curious, does the pen mod that worked on xperia z1 work on xperia z2 too ?

    Works without any mod (written with a long pen now)
