Sony has enhanced the camera app as well. The feature loaded app comes with the trendy bokeh effect feature which we have seen in almost all new flagships. Xperia Z2 however lets you manually control the depth of field according to your requirement.

Sony Xperia Z2 Camera Comparison & Conclusion
We were quite impressed with Sony Xperia Z2 camera but we still liked Samsung Galaxy S5 tad bit better in terms of overall experience. Also we are skeptical about DxOMark’s score which ranks it above Nokia 808 PureView. The camera App is also feature loaded like most flagship phones out there and the app clicks well with Xperia Z2 sensor. Sony has improved a lot as compared to Xperia Z1, but there is still room for much improvement.
