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

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

Abstract: It's blurred the line so much, in fact, that we can barely see it all. Figuratively speaking of course, because this thing is just huge. Here's how our hands got on with the Sony ‘s smartphone Goliath.Its extremely thin 6.4mm aluminium and glass body actu...
Xperia Z Ultra is really a hit and a miss device. Hit due to the integration of powerful hardware making it a top-of-the-line device and miss due to its size, for obvious reasons. The phone is really big and could prove unwieldly for many, thus restrictin...
Amazing display, Amazing video playback, Great UI, Awesome form factor, Dust and waterproof
Just too big, Screen lags, Super-expensive price tag, Glossy Form Factor, Non-removable battery
When we first heard about the Xperia Z Ultra, we thought that it would carry on the torch from the Xperia Z handset. Well, it fails miserably in doing that. A hefty Rs. 46,990 price tag is no help in pitching the handset.Parting thoughts - if you love to ...
Xperia Z Ultra is one of the best hardware spec phablet and is right now available for a price of Rs. 39500 which is quite right now for a device with the kind of hardware and experience it offers. One thing which we do not like about this is the slight d...
Battery life could be better, Clicked pictures lack detail, no flash, Too bulky for most
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a difficult phone to summarise. It gets a lot of things right - it's a scorcher in terms of performance and the big, full-HD display makes for a great viewing experience. However, it's too bulky for most people, and the large di...
Phone or tablet? One of the rivals was telling us to "feel free". If asked, Sony would probably go for a simple yes. As in, why not have both. As in we cannot quite make up our mind either. As in. hell yeah. The latter suits the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. Boy...
With the Z Ultra, Sony has created a device that aims to bridge the divide between smartphones and tablets by being a compelling offering that transcends both categories. The combination of stellar design and compelling hardware means that there is no ...
Very powerful, blazing fast performance, Big screen will help in multimedia consumption, Anything can be used as a stylus
Disappointing camera, Too bulky for most users
This is undoubtedly the most powerful smartphone that money can buy today, full credit to the Snapdragon 800 processor. However, the huge screen does have its fans, and equally the critics. While we believe the size aspect is subjective, we would definite...
