Someone see this before on his Z2? it look´s like this crack run from inside to outside.

The Phone didnt fall or something.

Yup, seen it before. It also meens that it is no longer waterproof.

This is caused by the handset flexing. Many reasons for this, but the most common is from it being in your pocket when you sitdown etc. In my opinion, this was a slight backward step from the Z1 as that had a complete metal bezel as apose to the metal/plastic mix of the Z2 bezel.

You could take it to you nearest Sony centre, but I very much doubt it'll be covered by warranty...(I work for a local mobile provider and of the 2 we've sent off for this have been quoted as chargable repairs.

Good luck.

All of the Z series have suffered from 'flexing'.....only if put in a position where the phones have no option but to flex:smileysmileywink:

That I know, I've owned most of them, however the construction of the Z2 makes it more susceptible to the issue pictured above.
