Sony Xperia XZ2 & XZ2 Compact specs

Sony knows how to tell a specs story, but it often lacks a compelling narrative for why someone would want to buy the phone in the first place. The Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact don't change the narrative too much, but they're considerably better looking than any Xperia product before them — and having a usable fingerprint sensor can't hurt, either.
