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

The Xperia Z Ultra boasts a large number of supported frequencies, including AWS on HSPA+ and 2600Mhz on LTE. While Bell doesn't advertise that it has a 2600Mhz LTE network, it does, and it tends to be significantly faster than AWS, at least in Toronto. I...

Enormous 6.4″ full HD screen with Sony Bravia Engine 2, Snapdragon 800 SoC, Dust-resistant and waterproof, Pen input without an s-pen
No camera flash and the camera takes photos which are noisy and grainy, Large top and bottom bezels making a large phone even larger, Too large to fit in many pockets, impractical for quick tasks
The Ultra is a great big enormous phone that will unfortunately be impractically large for most people. I have a preference for large phones, but even I couldn't bring myself to use the device on a daily basis as it just doesn't suit my lifestyle – it doe...
