Sony’s new model the Xperia ZL2 (SOL25) was launched in Japan a few days back by KDDI. The handset bears a close resemblance to the Xperia Z2. However, it has a smaller 5 inch screen while the Xperia Z2 has a 5.2 inch one.  Also, the Sony Xperia ZL2 has a smaller but a little thicker chassis than the Z2 and its back is made of plastic and not of glass as in Xperia Z2.

Xperia ZL2 uses the same vertical alignment (VA) display panel like the Xperia Z1 as opposed to the In Plane Switching (IPS) display panel. Users prefer the IPS display as it has many better features. The IPS display has a quicker response time than the VA display so that there is no distortion while watching action movies etc.
