It aims to improve sharpness, reduce noise, while boosting contrast and saturation, and it does a pretty good job of it. If you'd like a bit of extra punch to your images and videos you should enable the X-Reality engine, which is the successor of the Mobile Bravia Engine.
Colors are nicely punchy, but still fairly accurate. The native display contrast of the Sony Xperia Z2 is somewhat less impressive as on the Xperia Z1 because the Z2's screen isn't as bright as its predecessor's. Those have been a long-standing issue of all of the company's screens over the past few years, but they have been tweaked in the Xperia Z1 and they are now even better in the Xperia Z2. No matter how closely you look, you won't be able to tell pixels apart and images will always look tack sharp (provided they have enough resolution in the first place).Ī key area that has seen further improvement courtesy of the IPS display is viewing angles. The pixel density breaks down to 424ppi, which is as good as it gets in terms of sharpness. The IPS display is definitely welcome as it deliver superb viewing angles. We've already seen the X-Reality Engine in action on the Xperia Z1, so we know that it's clearly superior to most of the screens Sony has produced in the past. The Sony Xperia Z2 comes with a 5.2' 1080p Triluminos IPS display, backed up by the company's X-Reality engine.
