Sony unveiled the Xperia XZ2 Premium today, a smartphone identical in design to the XZ2 but packs in a way more powerful camera and an astonishingly high-resolution display. Although Sony still seems to be stuck on the now old thick-bezel design but has moved on from the single camera phase.
Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Design and Specifications
The XZ2 is almost identical to the XZ2 when it comes to the design, but differs quite a bit in the internals. It retains the candy-bar shape with a curved glass back, rounded edges, and thick bezels on the top and bottom of the display. It also comes with a personal favourite, the dedicated camera key. And this phone is all about the camera. Check out the specs below:
