Sony has finally changed some aspects of its smartphone design with the new Sony Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact.

Gone are the boxy corners, replaced by subtle curves which the company claims to be more comfortable in the hand. In terms of features, it has the top of the line chips and as usual, Sony’s own mobile camera technology.
