Sony XZ2 evaluation: Dafa uses this phone to save your three senses.

IT 168 Evaluation Although the global market share of Sony mobile phones has been divided by domestic mobile phones, it has not shaken Sony's determination to continue to occupy the desktop mobile phone industry. Sony's flagship mobile phone with Snapdragon 845 chip arrived as scheduled, and its release time is still in the forefront of competing products. The price of Xperia XZ2 National Edition is as high as 5999 yuan, which also shows Sony's confidence in this product to some extent.

Sony has always been keen on constantly polishing a certain design concept, striving for perfection and pursuing perfection. This product idea can easily make consumers who don't pay attention to Sony think that Sony mobile phones have been standing still and superficial in innovation, which is difficult to perceive compared with the selling points of "explosive products" such as "XXX flash charging", "beauty selfie" and "double photo".

Personally, I think Xperia XZ2 is really a mobile phone worthy of attention. It is a milestone product of Sony mobile phone. Although its innovation still looks so "non-mainstream", it objectively crosses the two mountains of Sony's mobile phone design language "Omni Balance" and "Loop Surface" and moves towards another peak of industrial design "Ambient Flow". Sony mobile phone designer Shi Jinxiongdeng said at the Hong Kong press conference: "Ambient Flow stands for integrating technology into our living environment and providing us with an excellent experience."

So what kind of promotion can bring us a great experience? I didn't find those packaged gimmicks on the leaflet of Xperia XZ2, only visual, auditory and tactile.

Say "touch" first

The reason why touch is mentioned first is mainly because the mobile phone has just arrived. The first thing you can feel when you pick up the fuselage is the touch when you just opened the box and haven't turned it on.

Thin! Holding the Xperia XZ2 in my hand really makes me feel thin, which is beyond my power. Although Sony official website honest and frank clearly marked the thickness of 1 1. 1mm, you really should not be intimidated by its thickness. Judging from the grip of the real machine, the most obvious position for the palm to perceive the thickness is the place where the finger meets the middle frame. The middle frame of Xperia XZ2 is only 6mm thick, so the grip is very thin, at least it feels much thinner than Xperia XZ Premium.

Many times, "thin" doesn't mean that it feels good. The environmental flow design language can be embodied in the feel of Xperia XZ2. The four chamfers of the fuselage are more rounded, unlike the XZ 1 of the previous generation. The bulge in the middle of the back just fits the palm of your hand, and the center of the whole machine is lower than the fingerprint key, so there will be no unstable center of gravity when using it.

The back of the Xperia XZ2 is designed with four curved surfaces, and the material is still the glass that Sony loves to use in high-end products. The glass is provided by Corning, which is quite durable and not easy to leave scratches. In addition, Xperia XZ2 not only maintains the dustproof and drainage characteristics of IP68, but also adds wireless charging function, which is a big progress.

What is more noteworthy in terms of touch is actually Sony's original dynamic vibration system for the mobile phone industry. When you use Xperia XZ2 to play music or watch videos, its dynamic vibration system will automatically analyze the audio information, so as to dynamically and continuously output different vibration forces. You can experience similar functions on many brands of handhelds or game consoles.

Dynamic vibration can not only work on Sony's own music and video playback software, but also be compatible with third-party applications such as Netease Cloud Music and iQiyi. But after my incomplete test, neither the glory of the king nor battlefield stimulus supports dynamic vibration.

The dynamic vibration system has four gears, namely off, slight, normal and strong. The higher the gear, the higher the vibration sensitivity, that is, the higher the vibration frequency.

This is the first time that Sony has transplanted the dynamic vibration system to a mobile phone, and the experience of this function will be continuously upgraded according to Sony's personality. At present, the dynamic vibration system only stays at the "fairly interesting" level. Although the consistency of sound and vibration intensity can be guaranteed, it is difficult to grasp the "climax" of music. At the same time, the position of the vibration motor in the fuselage is relatively concentrated, and the vibration mode is single, which makes people feel bored.

Therefore, the dynamic vibration system equipped with Xperia XZ2 has little improvement in immersion, and there is still room for improvement in comprehensive experience, but it is a good innovation direction and worthy of recognition.

Talk about "vision" again

Visual experience is the consistent advantage of Sony mobile phone, with unique 4K display technology, ultra-realistic display mode and video image enhancement technology. Although the Xperia XZ2 is not equipped with a 4K display, this 5.7-inch LCD screen still has the top display quality with the ratio of 18:9. Its resolution is 1080x2 160, reaching full HD level and supporting HDR. Thanks to X-Reality technology, the video quality can be improved to HDR level even if playing non-HDR signal sources.

Sony's peak achievements in hardware often make its software system look bleak. However, in the past year, Sony began to pay more attention to the software experience, especially the version of the Bank of China. Problems such as broken sound, lens distortion and background wake-up in Xperia XZ Premium were quickly solved one by one. Even though the operating system of Sony mobile phone is completely different from domestic rom in overall user experience, lightweight native Android customization combined with simple and brisk interactive experience can still capture the hearts of a group of users.

The Xperia XZ2 is equipped with Android 8.0 system, and its UI and functions have been adjusted and upgraded to conform to the concept of environmental traffic, thus enhancing the unity of the appearance, UI and functions of the fuselage.

In terms of UI, Xperia XZ2 adopts a brand-new lock screen style and dynamic wallpaper, and the built-in desktop wallpaper has also been updated. In addition, the problem that the tone of the top bar and notification bar of contacts, information and other self-contained applications is not uniform has also been fixed, and the tone between apps is unified, and the immersion is enhanced a lot.

The function upgrade of Xperia XZ2 is also quite gratifying. Increased the function of lifting the wrist and brightening the screen. When the user picks up the phone, the screen will automatically light up, and a screen lock interface with a pure black background will appear. After entering the fingerprint, you can unlock it directly and enter the system. In addition, the Xperia assistant App has been added to the system, which is similar to the simplified version of Siri, and can intelligently optimize the performance and experience of mobile phones according to user habits, and integrates help and support functions.

Itchy point's innovative 3D master function supports self-timer mode, and you can get your own face model without the help of others. The weather software of the Millennium bug finally supports automatic positioning. It is estimated that many Suofen will burst into tears when they see this. The good news here is that Sony is finally going to kill Sony Select. As for whether to redo or replace it, it is hard to say at present. The specific push time is subject to the news announced by Sony Xperia.

After talking about human vision, it's time to talk about the "vision" of mobile phones. The moving eye camera system is upgraded again on Xperia XZ2, which supports 4K HDR video shooting, and the shooting quality of 960 frames is improved to full HD level (in full HD mode, the slow motion time is shortened by half), which is a good upgrade for students who usually like to shoot Vlog.

In terms of taking photos, the Xperia XZ2 continues the IMX400 sensor and does not adopt the popular dual camera design. From the hardware point of view, the overall picture quality should not be much improved compared with the previous generation. Just look at the proofs.

Sony Xperia XZ2' s imaging style is still based on pleasing users' eyes, especially thanks to Sony's exclusive mobile display technology, photos are amazing to watch on mobile phones. The ancestral smearing in the photos has been reduced, the problem of slightly underexposed photos has been improved, and the overall imaging effect is still first-class.

However, in the process of taking photos with Xperia XZ2, I still found a small problem. Because my hands are relatively large, I am not used to taking pictures by pressing the physical camera button, and the rear camera position of Xperia XZ2 is relatively central, so when I am not paying attention, my fingers often enter the mirror, which affects the film yield. Of course, after getting used to the physical photo button, this phenomenon will not appear.

And "hearing"

I believe that a lot of powder is directed at the powerful sound system of Sony mobile phones. In the contemporary era when wireless headphones are popular, the LDAC wireless audio coding technology developed by Sony is absolutely amazing. It is three times more efficient than the standard Bluetooth coding and compression system, and ensures the resolution of the original audio to the greatest extent. Although Sony has now given LDAC*** to Google so that all devices supporting Android 8.0 can be used, another killer of Sony Audio, DSEE HX, is still exclusive to Sony devices.

Through DSEEHX technology, the compressed music downloaded by Netease Cloud Music can be upgraded to a higher sound quality. The leading edge of this technology is reflected in the hearing, that is, the details of the original audio are obviously enhanced after opening, and the layering of the sound is more clear. Although DSEEHX technology is not installed on Xperia XZ2 for the first time, its power is often overlooked.

If audio technology is too subjective in the additive evaluation of listening sense, then the promotion of Xperia XZ2 on speakers is obvious. Compared with Xperia XZ 1, the volume of Xperia XZ2 has increased by 20%, and even increased by more than 55% compared with Xperia XZ Premium. Compared with dynamic vibration system, high-quality stereo speakers can improve immersion more obviously. If you play exciting battlefield games in a quiet environment, you can identify the location of gunshots through the speaker of Xperia XZ2 without wearing headphones.

Daily experience and summary

In my daily use, Xperia XZ2 is quite stable and has no shortcomings in the experience. In terms of charging, the Xperia XZ2 has a built-in 3060mAh battery, which can charge more than 70% of electricity in about 1 hour and can be fully charged in 2 hours. Although the charging speed is not bright, it is enough to charge for half an hour temporarily.

This time, the Xperia XZ2 has not been overturned in terms of battery life. The Bank of China system has built-in excellent power-saving APP, which has excellent background management and control ability, and is very power-saving during normal standby. It is definitely appropriate to maintain the use for one day. However, if you often swim manually, it is definitely necessary to bring a charging treasure with you. According to my test, the Xperia XZ2 display has a medium brightness, with power off 12% for half an hour when playing "Stimulating Battlefield" and 7% for half an hour when playing "the glory of the king". In terms of game experience, the optimization of exciting battlefield for Android platform is not yet mature, and even in ultra-high frame rate mode, frame loss will occur. As for the glory of the king, it is full of special effects, stable for 60 frames without pressure, and it is quite smooth to play with hands.

I have to say that the Xperia XZ2 is the most perfect one among Sony phones. After using it for a week, I didn't have the impulse to switch back to iPhone X. On the contrary, its sleek and exquisite body and intelligent and minimalist user interface always made me want to pick it up and play for a while, unlock it repeatedly and feel the smooth touch of the screen.

Of course, the pricing of Sony Xperia XZ2 is really surprising, which is 2000 yuan higher than the listing price of Xperia XZ 1 only 3999 yuan. But then again, if the price of Dafa begins to be close to the people, what can be used to prove the belief of fans?
