In my latest episode of “Gav & Dave’s Tech Podcast”, I mentioned the Z2 had been delayed for sale in many places until mid May 2014.

Xperiablog.net is reporting with photo samples that some owners report the presence of gaps between the edge of the phone’s glass face and the metal frame, raising concerns that the handset’s waterproofing may be compromised. This isn’t the first time that issues like this have been noticed with Xperia models, but based on the frequency of reports, it may be a more widespread problem with the Z2.

Then there’s an overheating issue with the Z2, one that can occur when shooting 4K resolution video for an extended period of time. Sometimes the phone gets so hot that software becomes glitchy, leading to apps crashing. Sony advised people not to shoot 4K video in long stretches!

Not an ideal position. Let’s hope this phone is worth the longer wait.
