Sony continues their trend of launching elegantly designed and powerful flagship devices. Just this morning they announced their newest flagships in both the phone and tablet markets. Sony unveiled the Xperia Z2 Smartphone and the Xperia Z2 Tablet. The specs on both devices are at the cutting edge of innovation. Here's the full breakdown for each device:

Sony Xperia Z2 Smartphone -
  • 2.3 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor
  • 3GB of RAM
  • 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080 Full HD display with TRILUMINOS and X-Reality technology
  • 20.7 MP camera just like the Z1 (but now includes 4K video recording)
  • Water and dust resistant
  • 4G LTE
  • Android 4.4
  • Digital noise-canceling technology for an immersive audio experience
Here are some advanced camera features cited by Sony -
  • Enhance your mobile experience with a growing range of innovative Xperia camera apps. In addition to Info-eye™, Social live and Timeshift burst, Xperia Z2 also comes pre-loaded with new Xperia camera apps for both photo and video.
  • Timeshift video: To relive every moment of the action in slow motion detail, the new Timeshift video mode lets you shoot in 120 frames per second and select scenes to slow the playback speed for dramatic slow motion effects exactly where you want, even underwater.
  • Creative effect: Use a range of new creative effects for your photos and videos. Available in real-time for video, these adjustments enhance your clips with a range of effects such as colours, image trails, mirror and motion effects.
  • Background defocus: This new camera app simulates a shallow depth of field. Capture two photos at different focus settings and blend together the different depths, leading to a blurred out background for more professional looking photos.
  • AR effect: Now available for video recording, have some fun with your photos and videos with new augmented reality animations, including sound effects for video.
  • Vine4: Create short, beautiful, looping videos in a simple and fun way for your friends and family to see – all from your camera’s viewfinder. Plus, using the dedicated camera button, you can capture Vine videos underwater as well.

Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet -

  • 10.1-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) TRILUMINOS display, with X-Reality and Live Color LED technology
  • 3GB of RAM
  • 8.1MP Exmor RS rear camera, 2.2MP from camera
  • Sony Front Surround™ audio technology

  • 6.4mm thick, 426g for Wi-Fi model and 439g for for LTE/3G model

Despite having the upper hand in marketing prowess, Samsung has some big shoes to fill with the Galaxy S5 compared to Sony's Xperia Z2.
