在 Sony Mobile 推出 Omni Balance 设计的 Xperia Z 后,后续的机种也几乎是遵照全平衡进行设计,以对称、方正的外观几乎可说是 Sony Mobile 一系列手机的特色,然而在去年底所发表的 Xperia XA2 系列开始,已经开始在设计做出变化,而今年度的旗舰机 Xperia XZ2 以更大幅度的设计打破 2013 年来的框架,以取自表面张力的 Ambient Flow 作为设计理念。

Xperia XZ2 在外观设计虽使用新的设计语言,不过也非将过往的基础一併去除,而是建构在既有的基础进行取舍、进化与革新,它是 Sony 爱好者既熟悉又陌生的一款新旗舰,有许多你熟知的特色,但同时亦有许多你陌生的新设计,这些新元素不一定都能让 Sony 爱好者折服,然而这也是因应市场不得不做出的抉择。

Xperia XZ2 的正面与边框仍有着来自 Xperia XZ 的设计感,不过在导入 18:9 窄边框萤幕设计后,以往最被诟病的萤幕上下留白区域已经被大幅减少,虽不及某些超高萤幕占比机种,比起 Sony 自家的前辈们算是大幅进步了。整体设计自奠定基础的 Xperia Z 的方正,设计线条一路逐渐到 XZ2 变得更柔和,而 XZ2 则更进一步将机背也变得圆润。

虽然在正面、边框线条还是有点似曾相似,但边框部分的配置采用与先前机种截然不同的按钮配置与细节,首先可说是 Sony 特征的与指纹辨识整合的开关变成长条型的小开关,指纹辨识器则转移到机背,同时过往位于机身侧面的记忆卡、 SIM 卡卡槽也被挪到机顶,此外先前也才曾说过不轻易放弃的 3.5mm 耳机孔也消失在 XZ2 上。

机背的设计可说是 XZ2 与先前机种最大的变化,自 Xperia Z 到 Xperia XZ1 以来都采用平整的大面积玻璃设计在 XZ2 上已经不復存在,取而代之则是 3D 曲面玻璃设计,这也是 XZ2 设计之所以称为 Ambient Flow 的特征,以取自水的表面张力作为弧度,亦强调握持时的自然感。

传承过往的设计元素同时融入新元素,也是为长时间变化不大的产品挹注新气象的作法,不过 XZ2 的新风格仍有许多令人玩味之处,毕竟这些元素也曾在市场上的它牌产品上,只是在这个以化繁为简设计风格以及为了与部分技术需求所妥协的世代,各家手机所采用的基本元素也越来越像。

不过毕竟 Sony 手机一向在设计上无论是造型或是选色皆被玩家津津乐道, XZ2 的细节依旧细腻,同时颜色的挑选也依旧出色,主打以来自玻璃穿透流体的光泽,即便是银白色的清透银,也非纯色系,机背的选色宛若高级跑车业界流行的泥水灰;至于可视为 Sony 特色之一的深湖绿也不落俗套,透出宛若湖光、深海的蓝绿色泽。

过往的 Xperia 机型相机都非常的集中在边角位置,然而 XZ2 的相机则位于机身中线的位置,并且还排列在感测器下,使得 XZ2 的像机位置比一般手机更贴近手机中央,而指纹辨识器几乎位于机身的正中央处,然如此一来若以裸机的直觉握持,笔者会很容易想触发指纹辨识时误触镜头,当然若选配的保护套,这样的情况会减少许多。

此外 Xperia XZ2 的重量也比外观看起来更沉,这也是由于此次在小巧紧凑的机身搭载达 3,820mAh 的大容量电池,也有助于提供更佳的续航力;同时 XZ2 也支援 Qi 无线充电标准,可对应最大 9W 的 Qi 无线充电板。

此次也一併体验 WCH20 Qi 原厂 Qi 充电器,可提供 9W 的最大输出功率,机身有大量的金属网孔,推估是为了散热;这款 Qi 充电器在设计上也颇具巧思,透过磁吸的方式可转换底座方向,使手机可直立或是横摆,在位置与角度也针对 XZ2 的 Qi 位置,直立放置都可正确的触发充电,横向时则记得尽量置中就不会有问题,不过大致上直放比较直觉。

不过对喜欢聆听音乐的消费者,曾说不会轻易放弃 3.5mm 耳机孔的 Sony 却在 XZ2 仅提供单一的 USB Type-C 这件事情感到麻烦,虽然随盒附属了数位转换器,但要多带转换器,以及除非加购二合一充电线,否则就不能边充边等状况觉得不便, 但对于高阶机种而言似乎是大势所趋。

端看 Sony 整个集团的模式运作,对于聆听音乐的手段的方针似乎也越来越明确,扣除低阶产品仍以 3.5mm 为主,中价位到高阶产品逐步与蓝牙或是主打针对 Walkman 的 4.4mm 平衡端子为主,认定愿意投资在耳机上的消费者迈向无线化与发烧化的两极发展,或许亦可视为 Sony Mobile 决定弃守 3.5mm 介面的关键原因。

而核心的部分可说是此次 Xperia XZ2 相当重要的关键,目前 XZ2 是台湾第一款搭载高通 Snapdragon 845 的机型,除了强悍的性能以外, Sony 也与 Sony 进行深度合作导入许多功能,功能部分会在后续提及,这部分仍以处理器性能为优先介绍; XZ2 台湾版本相较欧美版本最大的差异就是搭配 6GB RAM ,这也是因应台湾人对旗舰机的定义所提供的特别版本。

萤幕虽不像 Xperia XZ Premium 一样具备 4K HDR ,不过 XZ2 的 5.7 吋 Full HD+ 萤幕可支援 HDR ,搭配 2.5D 康宁 Gorilla 5 玻璃,同时符合 BT.2020 广色域标准,虽然未达 QHD+ 解析度多少会觉得有点可惜,不过维持若非 4K 就是 Full HD 似乎仍是 Sony 一贯的作风。

Xperia XZ2 有一项独特的功能,称为 Dynamic Vibration System ,这项功能可视为手机振动的延伸应用,透过撷取与分析传递到扬声器的声音讯号发出对应的振动,包括游戏、影音等,只要讯号循标准通道传递都可支援这项功能。同时为了使 Dynamic Vibration System 效果声历其境, XZ2 也采用大型的振动器模组,比起一般现代手机振动更大,甚至还有余振。

此次主相机的部分硬体规格仍延续 XZ1 系列的相机模组架构,不过取消光学防手振,在新一代引擎技术加持下规格也获得升级,原本主打的 960fps 慢动作摄影从 720p 进化到 Full HD ,同时也支援 4K HDR 录影机能,采用 HEVC 10bit 并符合 BT.2020 广色域。同时 3D 扫描功能此次也可支援前相机,不过由于个人不上相就没尝试这项机能。

相机的拍照品质如上,只能说运气很不好的虽在樱花季身在东京出差,不过较有时间的一天遇到白天下雪、下午转雨的情况,没办法拍到盛开的樱花;而夜拍的表现不恶,似乎是有善用硬体加速的 Multi Frame 降噪机能,相较过往暗部杂讯获得良好的抑制,又不至于有太夸张的油画感。

从 Sony Ericsson 转变为 Sony Mobile ,从 Xperia Z 一路到 Xperia XZ2 ,手机市场在硬体、巷机与软体技术持续不断的改变,市场需求也持续的改变, XZ2 做出相较过去大幅度的变革,也可说是现在手机产业正面临需要有新的变化刺激,但同时又需要在变化的同时保有属于 Sony 的特色, XZ2 可说是既陌生又熟悉的 Xperia ,而时间也会证明这次的变革是否正确。
