Sony Xperia XZ2
Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.
The weakest camera of the five, with poor dynamic range and no portrait mode, though it has the best super slow-motion and sharpest detail when zoomed.

In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“The Xperia really has the worst end of the deal here.”
“it's the only one I can safely say is not as good as the other four”
“this is starting to move into what I would say is acceptable territory for battery life”
