Problem hit me within 2 hours of having the phone. So I bought an expensive dud. How depressing. Most of the reviewers rave about how good the camera is - I guess they have a vested interested in concealing the truth. In the past Sony was a premium brand noted for quality. All new products fail sometimes. it seems the Z2 fails routinely. Having wasted money on an expensive smartphone on the basis of its allegedly great camera, I now need to buy a camera separately. At least I will not need to spend time considering the options which have the Sony brand when picking a model!
Have it replaced if you just used it for 2 hours! Why overreact and buy a separate camera??? Most places give you 15 days no-questions-asked-replacement (and after that, you can go through the warranty process for 1yr).
I had the overheating issue with my camera, sent phone in for repairs, fixed now (well, it still overheats after 7 minutes of 4K recording, but I don't care about 4K, and it's still better than the other phones out there that do 4K for just 5 minutes)
Camera on this thing is phenomenal, by the way, and I have no vested interest.
