The back and front of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra are shiny plates of glass

Too big
Sharp angular design
Camera so-so
A phone as big as the Sony Xperia Z Ultra is not that easy to live with. Keep it in a pocket and a swift move in the wrong direction could end with a hole in your trousers or an uncomfortable jab in your leg. A 6.5mm-thick phone may not be sharp as such
But you still wouldn’t want to be stabbed with one. It’s more than a handful
Too. Used one-handed the Sony Xperia Z Ultra feels awkward. It’s m

Holding it to your ear can make you feel a bit daft
Big, beautiful 1080p display. Slim, refined design. Fast Snapdragon 800 processor. Incredible battery life. Waterproof.
Enormous. Really, it's too big. Average camera. No multitasking
The well-built, beautiful Sony Xperia Z Ultra is the biggest, baddest Android smartphone you'll find, but at 6.4 inches, it takes things to such a ridiculous extreme that we're not even sure it actually qualifies as a phone....
High performance, Bright display, Thickness of the device, Build quality, Port variety, Expandable storage
Price, Operation with one hand can be difficult, Black value is too high, Non-removable battery
A very good result in our review The Sony Xperia Z Ultra.Sony delivers on its Big entertainment claim. The huge display is ideal to watch movies, browse the web or play games. All these activities are no problem for the high performance of the Z Ultra - t...

Abstract: Sponsored links, if any, appear in green. The Sony Xperia Z Ultra brought Sony into the realm of large-screen phones unlike any before it. Sony was no stranger to above average displays in its Xperia line, but most of the devices were still soundly in...
Huge size is more a burden than a bonus. Underdeveloped software takes no advantage of screen real estate or stylus features. Disappointing battery life for its class.
Abstract: The LG G2 has arrived, and it's obvious that the company's new flagship wants to be the baddest boy in town. As such, however, it has to prove that it can take on all the other bad boys in a series of intense tests. We've already published our review o...
Abstract: Battle of the titans gets an entirely new meaning when you pit the Sony Xperia Z Ultra against the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3. There have never been phones before with screens that large, so we had to stake a cage match.In one corner is Sony's latest and ...

Some of the best performance numbers to date, The camera is passable, Water resistant and dust-proof, Great for gaming and video consumption, Charges very quickly
Extremely large for a smartphone, Mediocre display, Relatively poor battery life, Inconsistent touch responsiveness, Uncertain availability,
So where does that leave us, exactly? Well, we're torn. Our time with the Z Ultra was slightly sullied by what we believe to be a unit with a defective touchscreen. Yet as far as performance goes, there's quite literally nothing to complain about. Sure...
Abstract: There's no question about it – the Sony Xperia Z Ultra is one might impressive ‘smartphone', though some may consider the 6.4-inch display a tad too large. However, that doesn't stop the Z Ultra from being a really nice and slick device.One of the most im...
Vast and quality screen with pen/pencil input, Thinnest waterproof design, Record fast chipset
Larger than other 6inchers, uncomfortable to hold and carry, Camera lacks flash, could be better quality, Relatively weak and hollow earpiece sound
Sony's first phablet leans farthest to the tablet side of that made-up word than any competitor out there. If you aren't worried about pocketability or one-handed operation, you won't be disappointed by the rest. The Xperia Z Ultra is an engineering ma...
