Sony has not taken too long to present its devices once the new competing models have been launched. This morning at 08:30 we attended the event they prepared for this year's MWC. As some time ago the firm got down to work very soon and we already have the new Sony Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact.
The first thing we see of these two new devices is that they renew the design and Sony goes to the curves both in the corners and in the back. These new devices from the Japanese firm add powerful hardware, with 4G of RAM, 64 GB of storage, a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, some interesting software details and changes that fans of the brand will surely like.
Ambient Flow Design
The design changes, and as can be seen in the leaks, this new Xperia has a curve at the bottom to, according to Sony, be somewhat more economical when holding it. You really notice this curve when we hold them and on the XZ2 Compact, it gets even better, but neither can we say that they have risked too much as usual in the firm.
The terminals are somewhat thicker than the rest of the competitors and although it is true add glass instead of metalBoth in the front and in the back they mount Gorilla Glass 5. In both models we have the mode of super slow motion recording with 960 fps at Full HD (super slow motion) the same new features in the 3D creator and the same stereo speakers

The aesthetic differences in addition to the measurement of the terminals itself is appreciated by the change in location and position of the LED flash and the fingerprint sensor than by the measurement of the device itself. in the Compact model it is closer to the fingerprint sensor.

Price and Availability
The Sony Xperia XZ2 is priced at 799 euros and therefore it runs into the rest of the competing devices for a market in which they are quite stagnant, perhaps a tighter price would be good for them. In the case of the model Sony XZ2 Compact can be found at 599 euros.
It is expected that from April both models are available in a competitive market that requires maximum effort from all brands. We continue to see the news in this MWC 2018.
