Sony has made some significant upgrades to the XZ2 from the XZ1, but much of it is playing catch up to current flagships. While it provides excellent performance, a good display, and a decent camera, it has no standout features to distinguish it from its competitors.
Pros
+
Lightning fast performance
+
4K HDR video recording capabilities
+
Decent picture quality in good light
+
Modern and sleek design
+
IP68 rated
Cons
−
Mediocre battery life

Camera struggles in low light
