IN THE REST OF EUROPE IS 699 euro  WTF
It's 599€!

From XperiaBlog
"Like what you’re seeing with the newly announced Sony Xperia Z2 (C650X)? Well it is not going to come cheap. Sony Mobile has updated the official pricing for its new flagship for Europe and it shows some divergent pricing. In the UK, the Xperia Z2 will set you back £599, whilst in Germany it will be €599 – for some reason there is no difference despite different currencies.
In most other regions in Europe (France, Italy and Spain), the Xperia Z2 will set you back €699. In the Netherlands, you can pick one up for €649, whilst in Sweden it will be SEK 5,995. Sony always price their flagships high, but hopefully it will be at a more respectable level shortly after launch. "

JEEZ LIKE! 
Converting every single one of those to the South African Rand (ZAR) gave me a higher figure than what I paid for my GS4 on launchday. Hopefully that price drops very quickly, and I hope other flagships don't follow in this sort of pricing, not nearly as bad as how Nokia used to price the Nokia E90 and some other flagships back in its heyday.

But the Rand is very weak right now.
The launch price seems fine to me. Will probably drop down to 500 euro in a month or so (in sweden at least). The Verge has a great video showing the Z2 (and vlad seems really excited for a change)

yeah, the official sony case looks gorgeous and gives REAL protection AND can be used as a stand AND with dock station and with the sony logo on the front it looks premium. would be nice if they offer different leather materials to choose from. |

Very expensive but I am loving all the new accessories, some of which should work with my old current Xperia Z.

Indeed it is. I was converting to when it was stronger, so multiplied the Euro by 12 and Pound by 14, I'd hate to do a direct conversion to now, I'm sure the price would be at around R9,500-R10,000.

The screen looks BEYOND GORGEOUS... probably the best screen in the market... up there with HTC One and iPhone 5
Those colours... the live wallpapers are great
Also happy to hear they used the latest chip avaible, the s801...! this is a great sign... |

It's http://www.sonymobile.com/glo[....]xperia-z2/specifications/#tabs
MMS8974AB - S800 but it's like 30GFLOPS faster than the first gen S800 so, it's still a beast
There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed.

There's still some confusion regarding the SoC...
The press release mentions the chipset as Snapdragon 801, while the whitepaper mentions AB, the clockspeed makes it AB not AC...
AnandTech.com says that 801 should be AC not AB, is there's a possibility that 801 has two versions ?

"Yes, the film was removed from the front and rear. Two plates of tempered glass cover of a metal frame, double-anodized - note the color of the metal parts, silver and black at the end of next." Mobile-review
If true this alone is a great news to me!

I do wish Sony would use one colour back and front rather than white back and black front
