Sony has announced their latest flagship smartphones at MWC 2018, sporting a Full HD+ HDR 18:9 display, Motion Eye camera, and powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform with Gigabit LTE, and Android 8.0 Oreo – the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact.
The Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact are basically twins, with the latter having a smaller display, bulkier body, different camera layout, smaller battery, and slower LTE modem, which is weird considering that both are powered by Snapdragon 845 chipset.
