Users can shoot videos in 120 frames per second with Xperia Z2's rear-facing camera. Also, the 20.7MP camera now allows you to record videos in 4K format.

Other than the camera, the Sony Xperia Z2 incorporates a 5.2-inch Full HD TRILUMINOS display for mobile with Live Colour LED. Under the hood, the phone is powered by a 2.3Ghz quad-core processor powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with Krait CPUs , 4G LTE, Adren 330 GPU and 3GB of RAM. The makers have added a large 3200 mAh battery fitted inside.

This dust-resistant and waterproof (IP55 & IP58) phone runs Android 4.4 Kitkat with Sony's native UI on the top of it.
