Performance:
Blazing fast performance
We’ve matched the latest Sony software with the all-new, ultra-powerful Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 801 processor. This advanced Quad-core processor is 75% faster than the S4 Pro and gives you maximum power and speed with outstanding battery time – run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with little loading time and stream videos without a break. The asynchronous processor makes sure that each core is powered independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don’t.
Breathtaking graphics
Delivering up to 20% increased graphic performance, the updated Adreno 330 GPU (graphics processing unit) gives you the most advanced and visually stunning 3D games, and lets you browse the web lightning fast – all while using the lowest power consumption.
(x)Compared to its predecessor, the Adreno 320.
Ultra-fast LTE/4G technology
Your Xperia Z2 has a built-in LTE/4G modem. This enables blazing internet connections with up to 150 Mbit/s download and 50 MBit/s upload speeds.
Significantly improve battery life with Battery STAMINA Mode
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those apps you have on your Android smartphone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA Mode minimises battery drain. It recognises when you’re not using your display and automatically turns off the functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again.
