Six months ago, I bought a Sony Xperia XZ1. At the time, my evaluation of this phone was "Two steps away from perfection." After six months, I chose Sony again between Apple and Samsung. During the "5.1" holiday "blindly purchased" an Xperia XZ2.
Why do you want to buy this even the most ironic Sony mobile phone in history? In fact, I do not know. Maybe it's just a fresh picture, or just want to see how ugly the phone is.
But no matter what the reason is, simply relying on Tucao is obviously an irrational approach. I have to feel really qualified to judge it.
According to common sense, in fact, before buying large-value products that are completely unfamiliar to them, such as the 5999 yuan level of consumption, I have to first come to the Sony Store to make a decision and make decisions. However, because I was in a foreign country at the time, I asked my colleagues to help me bring me back in the outlet store. When I returned to Guangzhou, I opened the box together.
Therefore, this can be said to be an impulse consumption. After impulsive consumption, it often takes a price.
Three days later, I returned to Guangzhou early in the morning and got a clear Xperia XZ2 at my colleague. Although on the way back I have been reviewing the evaluation and evaluation of this mobile phone, and ready to be "thundered" by the thickness and weight of the phone. But when I actually started to use this phone, I found that its actual experience was quite different from the one I imagined.
So, after 3 minutes of getting started, Xperia XZ2 probably gave me such a feeling:
Although Sony has made many changes on this mobile phone, it also tried to use the arc back design of Sony Ericsson MT15i on the new machine to change the shape of Founder that was used for so many years. However, in the process of change, they still did not pay attention to what the current users like. Only change, but no improvement.
This makes people feel that Sony has a kind of "because you spray your appearance every year, OK then I'll be back to what you like that year". However, Sony seems to have taken too much of a step this time. As a result, the Xperia XZ2, which has been judged to be more than worthy of criticism, has emerged.
And this "big back" design was also officially called in 2018 - Ambient Flow
Of course, the Xperia XZ2 doesn't have all its appearance. Although the back of the large-arc glass adds a lot of thickness to the phone, this design makes the phone feel comfortable even on the hand, and it almost fits perfectly in my hand. If you are not worried about black glass sticky fingerprints, I absolutely do not want to wear a mobile phone.
Here are some points for me to talk about using XZ2 feelings during this time:
The reason why I chose the Cheol Black XZ2 but did not choose light silver, dark green, dust powder, these full of gas colors, mainly for two reasons. The first is that at the time the directly-operated store was just out of stock, only black powder was available, and pink, I thought I was not too cold, so I chose black. Another reason was because I had never seen a real machine, and I only looked at the official declaration of XZ2. In fact, the figure feels that all four colors are normal, but I did not see the "magic feeling" that XZ Premium officials had shown to me. If this is the case, it is better to keep the election black.
May be due to the black body's sake, it may be black this color is wild enough, so after I really touch the XZ2's real machine, I actually feel inexplicably "black + glass" with a very harmonious mix. It is because of the black back that, in the absence of a protective case, the bright-skinned fingerprint zone, which is set almost horizontally and vertically, will be “hidden” by illusion.
It has to be said that the back of the XZ2 is really exaggerated, so that when I'm bored I'll use the XZ2 to unwind on the desktop.
Another place to like it is the screen. This time Sony finally got rid of the screen share that has been ridiculed for many years on the XZ2, using a 5.7-inch, 18:9 ratio, 1080P resolution LCD screen, showing excellent quality. Although the border around the screen is still more conspicuous on the look and feel, the higher ratio of the screen makes the front of the phone more pleasing than the previous generation, and it feels good.
This screen configuration of the Sony Xperia XZ2 is even used by Sony for the smaller XZ2 Compact (ie, the XZ2C that is not on the domestic market), but the XZ2C's screen size has been reduced to 5 inches, but this is still a Sony one. "Conscience upgrade".
In addition, Sony Xperia XZ2, XZ2 Compact support extinguishing display, wake up when lifting the phone.
In general, the Xperia XZ2's real machine is actually a little better than the official announcement. Of course, a good or bad product is a subjective matter, and it does not represent the opinions of the people who use it. Therefore, the above passage is for your reference.
However, despite changes in the design that Sony has used for years, it also brings new features such as wireless charging, which is undoubtedly a good thing for product marketing and users. But not all changes are good, say thickness and weight.
When I looked at the review, I saw that at most two evaluations were "thick" and "overweight." Indeed, after touching the real machine, I felt that the XZ2 really had to be “heavily” more than all the Sony phones I had touched before.
Although I was used to the 208g iPhone 8 Plus in half a year, the XZ2's body is actually 198g, but it may be because the XZ2's body is so thick that I will use this phone. When you hold it in your hands, you have the illusion that "How can this small machine be so heavy?" (XZ2 is slightly narrower than the 8 Plus's body).
And when I give the XZ2 my colleagues to play, their first sentence tends to be that sentence -
Wow! Good weight / thick.
How heavy is the mobile phone? For example, I usually get to use my phone in the same trouser pocket when I go out, but if I put the iPhone 8 Plus and XZ2 together in shorts, even if I put my pants on both phones (about 410g) Can drop my pants down.
So I think that before the official launch of the 236g Xperia XZ2 Premium, I can first order 198g XZ2 as the representative of “half pounds”.
After the appearance, let's talk about the functional experience.
This year Sony has abandoned side fingerprinting on this new machine, placing the identification area on the upper side of the back. The result of the experience can be imagined, just as in many reviews:
Fingerprint unlocked ten times, touched the camera nine times.
It is no exaggeration to say that, to this day, I still touch the camera when I unlock it. It's just that the probability of a missed touch is a little less than when I first started. Even with the Galaxy S8, which was criticized by everyone for criticism last year, I only spent a few days to fully adapt.
On the XZ2, I always deliberately lift my index finger each time I unlock, otherwise I would definitely touch the camera just above the area, especially when I hurriedly unlocked it.
Without the ease of use of pre-fingerprints and the convenience of having no side fingerprints, this post-fingerprint zone of the XZ2 feels as if it were "forced but no place to place, so it can only be placed here." But as a user, I don't say it's useless, but it makes people feel less comfortable.
In addition to the design, changes in the body there are headset holes. This year, Sony canceled the 3.5mm headphone jack on the XZ2, leaving the original layout of the jack to the vibration motor, and combined with the dynamic vibration system Dynamic Vibration System to bring users real-time vibration feedback of video and games.
When playing a video, the system will vibrate based on the audio frequency of the video. The experience will be like a gamepad .
Starting from the XZ1, Sony has already begun to catch up with the configuration level of the current flagship. So on this year's XZ2, we can see the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 + 6GB RAM configuration that people love to see. In addition to the storage is only a fixed 64GB, XZ2's book parameters almost no slot (storage support memory card expansion) .
In my words, if the Snapdragon 845 + 6GB RAM configuration is not enough OK, then OK is not much.
The system is as clean and fluid as it used to be, and it should be one of the few third-party systems that still retains the Android native system flavor. The functional changes were not so numerous that I almost wanted to copy and paste my description of the XZ1 evaluation last year.
However, this update of the XZ2 system still has a lot of remarkable places, although the overall change is not large, but the details of the changes are still there. For example, preloaded with the Android 8.0 Oreo system and adding new Xperia Loop animation effects.
In fact, when this mobile phone was listed on the domestic market, I did not intend to surprise the State Bank system. The biggest "localization" feature of the system is nothing more than the power-saving mechanism unique to Baidu's suites and BNM's firmware. Obviously, Sony still hasn't touched the hearts of domestic users. Under the trend of NFC bus, AI assistant, and game optimization for your friends, this "clean is the advantage" system is a little bit "alive". Now.
Samsung, on the other hand, has done a relatively good job of "localization." Although people's system will be a card, what others can do is function.
As for the XZ2's battery life evaluation, to be honest, I was doubtful about the XZ2's battery at the beginning. Although it has such a thick body, the 3180mAh battery on the book data is only slightly larger than the Galaxy S9 (S9, I can use it to a large degree long time).
However, after I used my single card for one day I was given a "face hit" by the XZ2.
From 7:00 am to 2:00 pm, during which downloads and chat tools and micro-blogs were re-used, heavy-duty was used, and the remaining battery power was 50%. After that, the game was played for a while with a mobile phone. Finally, until I arrived home at 6:30 in the evening, the phone just shut down.
Although the capacity of about 3000mAh on the book data can only be said to be the current flagship handset standard, the XZ2's performance in this endeavour has indeed given me a bit of surprise.
For me, this duration is enough. For the product, the battery capacity of the XZ2 has increased from 2700mAh of the XZ1 to 3180mAh, which is also regarded as the increased thickness and weight of the body.
Sony made a slight upgrade to the camera part of the XZ2. The rear camera features an updated 19-megapixel Motion Eye as the main camera, but the sensor is still known as the IMX 400. In this upgrade, Motion Eye cameras support 4K HDR recording, making the XZ2 the first Sony mobile phone to support this feature. At the same time, the camera's 960fps slow-motion video capture, the shooting resolution has also been raised to 1080P.
The improvement of the camera function is also a good thing, but there are also many problems in the experience. When shooting with one hand on a vertical screen, my fingers often enter the viewfinder of the wide-angle camera. For example, when I have a single handset, my index finger will habitually be placed between the camera and the fingerprint, then the finger will enter the edge of the frame, and then shoot a photo that makes me cry or laugh.
Another problem is that when the camera focuses and presses the shutter, the camera still shows a noticeable click. Even if the filming was successful, the system failed to save the content in the album. This problem can be fatal for the creator. I hope that Sony can fix the problem as soon as possible through the system update (if the official can see it). ).
The appearance has changed, the configuration has been kept up, and the features have also existed. How does the evaluation of the Xperia XZ2 degrade it?
As I said before, "Change is a good thing, but not all changes are good." This year, Sony once returned the appearance of the XZ2 to the shape of a curved back. It was a good thing to change the balance design that had been used for many years to bring freshness to everyone. However, Sony seems to be a bit too hard this time, eager to get rid of the "Millennium cable" design, but forgot to run aside. In the end, only changes have been made, and there has been no improvement. As a result, there are many pitfalls in the experience that make people feel helpless.
Applying a sentence from a colleague, Sony used a new design on the XZ2 this time. This does not mean that Sony can already satisfy the public in terms of design. On the contrary, this is another starting point.
Fortunately, Sony has also done enough homework on the XZ2 this time. The combination of the Snapdragon 845 + 6GB RAM is almost flawless, the new vibration motor and endurance performance gave me a good impression. As a secondary flagship, the XZ2 has already achieved the same level of performance and features. Some features, such as 960fps slow motion shooting, 3D portrait animation, and other features have also been enhanced, and features are more playable.
If you abandon the experience brought about by the new design, the XZ2 may become a product that enables Sony Mobile to steadily increase its performance. But unfortunately, the fact is not so wonderful.
In addition, in addition to the design issues, the pricing of 5,999 yuan for the Bank of China is also expected to stop. Especially in the domestic market, under the influence of the iPhone 8 and Galaxy S8 and the domestic flagship of the Xiaolong 845, the price of XZ2 with high pricing and general appraisal in the market is undoubtedly becoming narrower and narrower. This can not help but worry about the fate and pricing of the next real flagship XZ2 Premium, although this is Sony's first dual camera flagship, but too high pricing will still be an obstruction to Sony mobile phone sales an invisible obstacle.
