The Sony Xperia Z2 is clearly an evolution from the Xperia Z1. As we saw in our brief hands-on with it, Sony has improved the display, making it larger (5.2-inch) and adding an IPS plane to improve viewing angles and colour accuracy, improved camera software including the addition of 4K video recording, stereo speakers and a bump up for a number of specifications.
Bell is offering the Sony Xperia Z2 for CA$179.95 with a two-year contract or CA$699.95 on a monthly term. While it has not yet announced a specific availability date, it may well be the same day that the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet goes on sale. If so, it should start hitting Bell retail stores on May 5 as well.
