This isn't a hands-on review, it's basically spitting out facts already known. There's already reviews like this on YouTube.... Meh

Looks like a full review to me:

Sadly I can't post links yet.. go to the clove blog, there is a full text review, no video!

It's Clove, so not sure how much one can trust a company that sells phones when it comes to reviewing....but seems like a good job.

This is like a support video or better to say advertising clip
I don't if it s right But I can see special support from UK websites this year for SonyMobile (that i like it)
& I saw like this from French websites in 2012 (maybe this is just personal opinion)
like other websites that specially support Samsung devices (AndroidAuthority in my eyes)

:good:

I liked reading the review and several of the videos were interesting, too. In particular, I liked the video with all the Z2 video samples in it. The video quality and effects are very impressive to me, and the effects shown actually look useful and not just gimmicky.

Jon at Clove is very neutral in his reviews. Despite selling phones as they sell more than one company;)

Very imformative too
Sounds like Jon's employer to me... :D

From what I've seen Clove do very good unbiased Demonstrations. Reviews would be more critical of a product.

To echo what phil9309 said earlier,

Having watched the video and read the blog - the blog review is a proper review whereas I suppose yes, the video is more a run-through of the phone and features.

Type in 'clove blog' into google it will come up directly.

It's such a pathetic review. The hands-on videos had more information.

I saw a few people disliked what he said about the speakers. Not sure who do believe though. Most people says it is as good as the M8, or even better.
The speakers are as loud as the M8's.
Check this video:

That Josh dude is just making a wild guess, I don't think he ever tested them for a comparison. Like i said, it's one of the most pathetic reviews I've seen.

Is he even serious? Its like he got ***** slapped before making the review. Or forced by the bosses to not put the Z2 above the competition. Totally no mentions of the extra RAM either? Wow!
I agree , felt like it was rushed. I seriously lol'd when he poured water on it. When he comments on the sound but doesn't even show it in the video? It feels like a first impression video not a review..
