Xperia Z2 Launched In India At Rs 49,990

Sony has launched its new flagship smartphone, Xperia Z2, in India at Rs 49,990. Available in White, Black and Purple colour, the Sony Xperia Z2 is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz along with 3GB of RAM and a 3,200mAh battery.

The Z2's built-in camera can capture video in 4K resolution, an emerging standard that offers four times the details as current high-definition video. The Z2 sports the same 20.7 megapixel camera found in its predecessors, the Z1 and the Z1s. Most other smartphone cameras have 8 to 13 megapixels.

The Z2 is waterproof, like the Z1 phones, and its screen is slightly larger, at 5.2 inches diagonally instead of 5 inches.

Sony is borrowing innovations from its audio and camcorder businesses and incorporating its new Xperia Z2 smartphone with noise-cancelling technology and ultra-high-definition video recording.

Sony also announced the launch of its SmartBand SWR10 at the Xperia Z2 launch event in New Delhi. The band works with a Lifelog app on the phone to record your day. You see key moments on a timeline, including photos taken and messages sent and received. As your day progresses on the timeline, you see the number of steps and calories burned to that point.

Initally, the Xperia Z2 will come bundled with the Sony SmartBand; it will be a limitd period offer, says the company. The SmartBand will be available separately at Rs 5,990.

These device were announced early this year at MWC 2014.
