Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I'm guessing closer to 3 than 4 with that screen. I thought one of the points of these bigger devices was that they could hold bigger battery for more screen time?

at a guess they traded battery life for thinness and tbh its crazy THIN, but i can't judge it yet, it LOOKS small for the specs but heck knows how it will perform

it might be perfectly fine, not note 2 territory but s3-ish/Z at a guess.

They'll probably do like the Z tablet with stamina mode - which works great for getting the most out of a lower mAh battery in standby but not so great for screen on time.

No different to most smartphones running at highish load.

But it's not a Smartphone, it's a phablet.

True. Well just have to wait for some battery tests.

I am looking at this and the device looks massive compared to my Note 2!

I love the look of this Sony clearly know how to make a stylish smartphone

kona786 · 26 Jun 2013 at 07:48

Big but certainly sleek

That comparison shot looks ridiculous.

I'd snap this up in a heartbeat if, the battery was bigger. That's only a 15% bigger battery than the S4.

Comes with a hefty price - £619

Way too much bezel on it, it looks like they've just scaled up a smaller phone.

I'm quite liking this device as a replacement to my Nexus 7 which I'm about ready to chuck out of the window because it's so laggy and slow.

Nice hands on video here:

It's ridiculous how big smartphones are getting nowadays, next you'll be needing a specially made backpack to carry them around, can't believe we have come all the way from those 80's brick phones to this 6.4` monstrosity :mad:
