Meet the Sony Xperia Z Ultra w/ 6.4" FullHD Display
Sony has finally launched the much anticipated Xperia Z Ultra, which packs a 6.4-inch display that makes the device very much a phablet. It is waterproof like the Xperia Z and the Xperia Tablet Z and it is billed by Sony as the world's largest Full HD smartphone. The Xperia Z Ultra is also the first mobile device to feature Sony’s TRILUMINOS technology for more accurate colors and contrast.

There’s also X-Reality for mobile for
optimizing photos and video to look their best on the panel, including
upscaling lower resolution content to suit the 1080p the Xperia Z Ultra
offers. As mentioned, the Xperia Z Ultra is waterproof with an even higher IP58 certification. The phablet measures
179 mm x 92 mm x 6.5 mm and 212 grams, which also makes it the slimmest Full HD smartphone to date.

Software-wise, Sony has revamped its
application suite, with a new WALKMAN app, Movies app, and Album app.
They get updated sharing functionality, as well as better integration
with the cloud. Underneath it all is Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.Inside, there’s 4G LTE connectivity along with
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 quad-core processor running at a
whopping 2.2GHz. That’s paired with an 8-MP Exmor RS camera and a
battery good for up to 14 hrs talk time or 790 hrs standby. NFC, WiFi, and Bluetooth are all on-board.

Another interesting thing about this phablet is that its touchscreen will recognize any stylus with a
conductive tip, including a regular pencil, allowing Xperia Z Ultra users to
sketch or make notes with whatever comes to hand. The Sony Xperia Z Ultra will come in three
colors – black, white, and purple – and sold alongside a new accessory, a
water-resistant Bluetooth “mini handset” presumably for those times
when holding a 6.4-inch phablet to the side of your head feels somewhat
ridiculous.
