Sony used to be the king of smartphones, but this king has fallen from grace in recent years, having to leave the throne in favour of stronger contenders. The reason for this fall was Sony lagging behind – holding onto old designs, not keeping up with the modern trends etc. Today, though, I am happy to say (alright, in all honestly I do not care at all) that Sony’s Xperia XZ2 has a chance of bringing some fresh air into the Sony’s offer.The newest news on the upcoming Xperia XZ2 is this render of the back panel of the phone.

Those of you who are the staunchest readers of IMEI24, though, surely have picked up on that I do not like big corporations. There is no great philosophy behind my feelings towards them – it is just a simple mistrust towards people who, in the name of money and power, do their best to flood ...
