Sony Xperia XZ2 H8216, H8296 Model Number Differences

Updated on Mar 29, 2018 by Tuan Do

The Sony Xperia XZ2 was announced at MWC 2018 and it is the Sony’s flagship smartphone of the year. Consumers are excited about the new phone since it has the highest specs and gets rid of the OmniBalance or Loop Design with thick bezels.

We have a much more attractive device with thinner bezels, an aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and rear, and a curved finish that is very comfortable to hold. In terms of hardware, the ZX2 features Snapdragon 845 processor, a 5.7-inch FHD HDR 18:9 display, 4GB RAM / 64GB storage, 3180 mAh battery, and a 19MP rear camera capable of 4K HDR and 960 fps super slow motion video recording.

Similar to last year, we have some different model numbers for the Xperia XZ2. At the moment, we can spot the H8216 and H8296 models but rumors mention some other models like the H8266 and H8276. We will update this post when those models become official. Now, let’s check out the differences between all Sony Xperia XZ2 model numbers.

Model Number Sony Xperia XZ2 H8216 Sony Xperia XZ2 H8296
SIM Single Nano SIM Dual Nano SIM (Dual-SIM Dual Standby)
RAM 4GB 6GB
Carrier / Country North America & Europe Asia & Europe

    You show the 8692 model with 6 gb ram in Asia and Europe. Will they work with american phone services, such as ATT and Tmobile? I can buy this model here in the states, but wasn’t sure it is a good idea, since it is through an internet company and not from an american store. Like the looks and the 6 gb of ram, but not if it won’t work on the american device providers. thanks.

      Yes, this model works great in the U.S. Make sure you are using it with GSM networks such as T-Mobile and At&t.

      Also, I cannot find the, “My Files,” file with the contents of my phone. I downloaded something, but I cannot find the Downloads file.

        Also, the keyboard is wonky. I sometimes have to touch the keys over and over to enter text. The keyboard has unnecessary keys, and missing necessary keys.
