Speed Up Phone by Uninstalling Unnecessary Apps in Sony Xperia Z2 Someone that was messing around, or trying to troll the Android/Sony community-it doesn't take a Photoshop pro to embed a logo on a device. There is something to be said about the fact that this image came from Sony, but it could have just as easily come from someone on their social media team. customers eager to find out more information about the availability of Xperia Z2, we are excited to share that the device will be coming to the U.S. The image has since been removed and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused. "A mock-up image was mistakenly posted to the Sony Mobile Google+ page. Sony has issued a statement on the image, but it's pretty standard fare for information that was never supposed to be released: ![]() So Is This Thing Coming to Verizon or What? So to say that Verizon will support a device that allows root and unlocked bootloaders, as well as one that ships without any of bloatware Verizon loves so very much, may be a stretch. As of the time of this posting, the bounty for obtaining a root method with the Verizon Galaxy S5 is currently just under $11,000. Verizon is known to have the toughest protections against not only unlocking bootloaders, but even achieving permanent root. While "unlocked" in this sense refers to the ability to use the device on any supported GSM carrier, it can also mean an unlocked bootloader, which is a key element to installing a custom recovery. And like the two other devices, availability on Verizon (or any CDMA network) is non-existent (again, the Nexus 5 does come with a CDMA radio). Much like the original Nexus devices (not the Nexus 5) and the new OnePlus One, Sony sells their devices unlocked and directly on their website in the US. So did Verizon buy a GSM carrier, or did Sony install new radio hardware in its device just for Verizon? Unless they specifically manufactured devices ready for CDMA, the cost to install new radios or produce new device would be a tough sell to a boardroom. While Verizon has a strong LTE network, it still relies on its CDMA backbone, and that's not changing anytime soon. Sony devices have not traditionally supported CDMA networks, and looking at the specs for the Z2, that remains the case: Verizon, along with Sprint and a speckle of smaller carriers, rely on CDMA technology to deliver services on their networks, as opposed to GSM, which is used by AT&T, T-Mobile, and just about the rest of the world. Now, whether the photo in question is a render or a real device is unknown, and frankly, I'm not fully convinced this device will make it's way over to Big Red.
