We need to see whether Sony India will make Bollywood Actress Katrina Kaif as their brand ambassador this time also.

Price of Xperia Z2 in India is still a mystery, though we expect it to make upto Rs 44990 to Rs 46990; seeing the prices of other flagship devices of OEM in market.

Xperia Z2 features android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box, Snapdragon 801 Soc MSM8974AB 2.3 GHz quad core processor, Adreno 330 GPU, 3GB RAM in a 5.2″ FHD Triluminos and world’s first Live color LED display.

We need to see which freebies Sony will be providing with Xperia Z2 in Indian market, though a 6 month accidental warranty is expected to come.

We will soon update you with more details of Sony India Xperia Z2 launch even in India. Drop your comments below if you have any doubts.
