The world’s first smartphone with digital noise cancelling technology
Block out the world around you with digital noise cancellation that reduces up to 98% of all ambient sounds. Based on a technology known as Active noise control, this technique removes the lower-frequency parts of the noise, preventing high-frequency noise from ever reaching the ear. Since noise-cancelling technology is built into the smartphone device, you can enjoy noise-free sound with the sleek MDR-NC31EM headphones. These headphones sample surrounding noise through a microphone. When compensated by the DNC circuit in the Xperia device, the resulting output is a clear, noise-free sound.

Your Android smartphone automatically selects the best audio quality settings, leaving you with a crisp and clear audio experience.

Powerful dual stereo speakers make your Xperia Z2 audio experience come alive even more. Two separate speakers deliver a more dynamic sound with a depth that replicates real, natural hearing.
A viewing experience you won’t forget
The Xperia Z2 is built with the latest Sony TV display technologies optimised for mobile. It comes with Live Colour LED, a brand new technology integrated only into Sony Mobile displays, for increased colour depth and gradation. And the IPS gives an excellent viewing angle and accurate colours from edge to edge. The large, high-resolution 13.2 cm Full HD Triluminous Display for mobile with X-Reality for mobile picture engine has a 1920 x 1080 progressive scan, for incredibly crisp pictures free of jagged edges. Paired with a pixel density of 167 pixels per cm, you get pictures that are razor sharp and incredibly bright.
Always a great viewing angle
With IPS technology, the Xperia Z2 offers an improved viewing angle. So you get super sharp images and accurate colours, no matter which angle you’re looking at your device from.
Triluminous Display for mobile and Live Colour LED
For the widest spectrum of colours
Unique to Sony, Triluminous Display technology creates a wider palette of rich, natural colours. With our Bravia TV expertise, hard-to-reproduce reds, aqua blues and emerald greens are displayed beautifully, for a more vivid viewing experience and a heightened sense of depth.
Triluminous technology uses LEDs, which emit purer reds and greens, creating a brighter and more uniform light that captures the true colours of the source. From lush landscapes, to natural skin tones – Sony delivers a significantly wider colour range. So you can view every moment in astonishingly authentic colour and breathtaking quality.
Live Colour LED is a brand new technology integrated only into Sony devices, giving you the world’s deepest and most intense colours on a smartphone or tablet display. This new innovation combines red and green phosphor with blue LEDs and customised colour filters to produce a brighter and more uniform light. Capturing true colours without the risk of over saturation.
X-Reality for mobile
Razor-sharp images with X-Reality for mobile
From still pictures and low-resolution videos to high-resolution movies, Sony’s unique image software engine analyses each image to optimise colours, sharpness and contrast, as well as reduce noise. The super resolution function reproduces missing pixels, for spectacular clarity and astonishing detail – bringing your favourite moments closer to Full HD quality.
Pixel reproduction
Sony’s unique super resolution breathes new life into everything you see. This technology examines each pixel in an image and reproduces the ones that are lacking, giving you the sharpest images.
Texture and outline improvement
By selectively enhancing elements that help to render the texture and sharpen the outlines, images become clearer and crisper.
Colour and contrast enhancement
The Intelligent Image Enhancer reproduces the vividness of the image in its original colour. Pictures are selectively optimised by enhancing the contrast, making images appear more detailed and true to life.
Noise reduction
Intelligent Noise Reduction decreases the noise that can occur in high-motion scenes or footage shot in low-light conditions. As a result, images become clearer and smoother.
Perfection in every detail
The Xperia Z2 delivers only the best from Sony craftsmanship. Carefully crafted using the most premium materials, it comes with a beautiful one-piece aluminium frame with glass panels that reflect the world around you. The 13.2 cm display, balanced with symmetry in design, provides a natural feel when held in your hand – no matter what angle you hold it.
A display with maximised screen area
The Xperia Z2 offers a 13.2 cm display with a stunning high screen to phone size ratio. This gives you a screen size that truly utilises the size of the phone. So when you are looking at something, the phone virtually disappears.
Waterproof and dust resistant
The Sony Xperia Z2 has an impressive IP55/IP58 rating, which makes this slim and sleek smartphone both waterproof and resistant to the tiniest dust particles.
Snap away underwater
With the waterproof Xperia Z2, you can take pictures with the best phone camera while swimming in freshwater for up to 30 minutes. You can even dive up to 1.5 metres with it. Just remember that all the covers for the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot and the memory card slot must be firmly closed.
IP (Ingress Protection) rating
IP 55/58 – what does it really mean? IP rating is a certification testing to measure a device’s resistance levels to both dust and water. The first digit in the two-digit IP rating indicates the level of protection against solid objects, including tiny dust particles. The second digit indicates how resistant the device is to water.
Blazing fast performance
We’ve matched the latest Sony software with the all-new, ultra-powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. This advanced Quad-core processor is 75% faster than the S4 Pro and gives you maximum power and speed with outstanding battery time – run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with little loading time and stream videos without a break. The asynchronous processor makes sure that each core is powered independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don’t.
Breathtaking graphics
Delivering up to 20% increased graphic performance, the updated Adreno 330 GPU (graphics processing unit) gives you the most advanced and visually stunning 3D games, and lets you browse the web lightning fast – all while using the lowest power consumption.
Significantly improve battery life with Battery Stamina mode
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those apps that you have on your Android smartphone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA mode saves you wasted battery drain. It recognizes when you’re not using your display and automatically turns off the functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again.
