However, Sony Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact are extreme so far than we expect. You still get a volume rocker, power button and dedicated shutter key from top to bottom on the right-hand side. Both get a Gorilla Glass 5 finish, while the bigger Sony Xperia XZ2 specs include Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides.<\/p>\n<p>Both the Xperia XZ2 and the Sony XZ2 Compact specs feature an extra-tall aspect ratio &#8211; 18:9 and FullHD+ resolution. Sony also decided to stick to IPS LCD technology and develop HDR video support. Moreover, Sony also takes SDR video content and seamlessly tries to up-convert its colours to HDR levels during playback. Besides, <a href=\"https:\/\/sony-paa-pa-en-web--paa.custhelp.com\/app\/answers\/detail\/a_id\/7896\/~\/what-is-s-force-front-surround%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">S-Force Front Surround<\/a> system is now 20% louder, compared to the Xperia XZ1.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sony Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact hands-on review\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ovyjeEpB0TM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Qi wireless charging and Dynamic Vibration System are the only two the XZ2 Compact lacks, compared to its bigger sibling. Both phones are based on the same beastly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/qualcomm-snapdragon-845-chipset-benchmark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snapdragon 845<\/a> chipset, 4GB\/6GB RAM, plus 64GB ROM setup, 19MP camera and 5MP selfie camera. The other novelty is world-first 4K HDR video capture on a smartphone, and Sony XZ2 duo could do 4K@60fps. The 3D creator app supports the front camera now, so you can finally make a scan of yourself without the help. The hybrid SIM and SD tray are on the left side or the top, on the Compact and regular version, respectively. The battery had to be cut down from 3180mAh in the XZ2 to 2870mAh in the XZ2 Compact.<\/p>\n<h3>Sony Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact release date and price<\/h3>\n<p>The regular Xperia XZ2 will be available in Liquid Black, Liquid Silver, Deep Green (Petroleum Blue) and Ash Pink. The XZ2 Compact adds its own Black, White Silver, Moss Green and Coral Pink. Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact and Sony Xperia XZ2 release date fall around March 2018. Sony Xperia XZ2 price starts at $773 ~ Rs. 49, 990, and Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact price starts at $711 ~ Rs. 45, 999.
