Sony launches Xperia Z2, Z2 tablet and M2 on MWC Barcelona. It certainly borrows a lot from its predecessor in terms of looks and features, but the company’s breathed some extra life into the phone to set it apart from its older siblings. What can be talked about is the MSM8974AB, a SoC that was already outed by Xiaomi with their Mi-3. The differences are minor, far smaller than that of the APQ8064 and APQ8064AB/AC, which had slightly improved IPC and higher clocks. The 8974AB instead brings higher GPU clocks (550 MHz vs 450 MHz), higher memory clocks (933 MHz vs 800 MHz), and the ISP goes from 320 MHz to 465 MHz. This is almost guaranteed to be the SoC of choice for all high end flagships launching at MWC, judging by various rumblings about the internet.

The final change of note in the Xperia Z2 are the stereo front facing speakers, which are finally in a phone that doesn’t start with One or Butterfly in the model name. While there aren’t many details on the quality of the speakers, just putting them on the front is great. However, just like with HTC devices, it seems that the speakers have added a great deal of bezel to the front of the device. While some may not mind the difference, there are definitely great deals of people that voice their complaints over the size of bezels in phones. Don’t forget to look at the trailer video and specs below.

Sony Launches Xperia Z2 And M2 At MWC

Finally, Sony launched the Xperia M2, a mid-range device that seems to directly target the Moto G based upon its platform and spec. I say this because the SoC is the Snapdragon 400 with quad core Cortex A7s at 1.2 GHz. The one major difference is that this phone has LTE. This means that its probably the MSM8926 running inside, unless Sony is packaging a separate modem to enable LTE, which is rather unlikely. The Xperia M2 also has a dual-SIM variant, although that device wont have LTE. While the press release doesnt have any indication of whether or not the Xperia M2 will have microSD, it should be a relatively safe bet to say that it will, based upon Sonys continued inclusion of microSD even at the high end of the market.
