Do you own a Sony Xperia Z2 or are you thinking of getting your hands on one in the near future? If so, you may like to know that you can actually manage incoming calls without even having to touch its screen. ‘Smart Call Handling’ is on-board all Z2 devices and allows you to answer calls by bringing the phone to your ear, reject calls by shaking the handset and silence the ringer by placing the unit face down on a hard surface. Now that’s pretty cool.

Operating a phone with gloves is always a tricky procedure, unless you buy designated micro fibre ones which invariably are expensive. Do you remove one glove for one-handed operation or take off both and run the risk of dropping either one glove,two gloves or heaven forbid the phone?  To eradicate this issue, Sony has implemented a rather useful feature in its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z2, which permits total interaction with the touchscreen when wearing gloves.

A front panel picture of apparently the Xperia Z3 and the Z3 Compact have made their way online, giving the world a first look at them. The leaked picture does not really reveal much about the device expect that Sony is still going to make use of its OmniBalance design language.

Even the bezels look more or less the same as present on the Xperia Z3, so it is not yet clear on how Sony is planning to differentiate its upcoming flagship from its predecessor in the build department. 

Sony has announced a new programme targeted towards enterprise customers, dubbed Xperia in Business. The service is similar to Samsung’s KNOX security suite, which aims to provide an additional level of security to enterprise users for sharing and managing their business information along with relevant tools for managing devices in bulk. 

Sony’s latest flagship — the Xperia Z2 — ships with an unlockable bootloader except if you end up buying a carrier variant, which might ship with a locked down bootloader. An unlockable bootloader means that the Xperia Z2 is an extremely easy device to root and the process is very similar to how one can gain root access on the Nexus, HTC and Motorola devices.

If you have recently purchased a brand new Xperia Z2 and are looking to root it, worry not as we have got you covered. Simply follow the steps mentioned below and you will be enjoying all the powers that root access brings on your Z2 in no time.
