Bright, bold screen is great for movies; Very powerful; Waterproof
Immense size makes it very cumbersome; Unimpressive battery life; Older version of Android; Camera isn't great
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra has a great screen and loads of power, plus it won't die if you drop it in the bath. Its gargantuan size, however, is likely to make it impractical for most people to use as an everyday phone....
The 6.4-inch Sony Xperia Z Ultra is the biggest, baddest Android smartphone you'll find, but it takes things to such a ridiculous extreme, we're not even sure it qualifes as a phone....

Huge 6.4-inch screen great for games and movies, Top-notch specs make for snappy performance, Touchscreen works with a standard pencil, Premium look and feel, Impressively thin
Disappointing camera with no flash, Glass over the screen is to reflective, Poorly placed speaker doesn't get loud enough, Awkward to hold due to size, slippery-ness, and square edges
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra leaves us with mixed feelings. Its components and performance are in line with the best phones we've tested so far; its screen is gorgeous and huge, making for great gaming and movie watching; it certainly looks and feels the par...
Easy to view big display, Stylish and svelte design, Rapid performance
You really do need clown pockets to carry it and Dumbo ears to answer it
Sony has created a smartphone that's big on performance, but perhaps small in terms of its niche. If you want a big display, have large pockets and dislike the idea of a bulky tablet, the Xperia Z Ultra will do you proud. If, however, you spend a lot of ...

Great display, Snapdragon 800 processor, good battery life, slim design is really impressive, waterproofing
Too big, sharp angular design, no flash, camera so-so
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a lovely thing, but as a dedicated phone - if you like to lift a phone to your ear as you should - then it's just too big to be practical. We can't help but see it as more of miniature tablet. You'll know in yourself whet...
The back and front of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra are shiny plates of glass, and it’s ridiculously thin at just 6.5mm thick. Phones don’t look much slicker than this – it has all the class of a sharp, tailored suit.The Sony Xperia Z Ultra’s size is sure to win more attention than anything else, but one of the best bits of the phone is how Sony has improved its waterproofing. As with the Sony Xperia Z
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 Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a top-end phone with the price and specs to prove it. It’s also a massive attention-grabber. As well as being absolutely huge, it’s seriously slick-looking. However, don’t try and convince yourself this is just like the Sony ...

Abstract: Phablets bridge the gap between phones and tablets. They can make calls and access the internet via a mobile network, but they also have screens that are big enough (just about) to allow you to use them like a tablet. The form factor has already overtaken...
Great display, Overall performance and responsiveness, Dustproof, waterproof up to 1.5 m and good shock resistance, Elegant design with good finish (just watch out for smudges)
Not optimal handling, especially for phone calls / Body feels hollow, not very dense, Screen borders could be thinner, Body vibrates when you use the speakers, which aren't very loud and have heavy saturation, No flash / Camera not impressive, Not all of
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is an atypical device when it comes to size and handling, making it a phone for niche users only (much more so than the Samsung Galaxy Note). But it has good battery life, a great screen and top-notch performance. This is a "differ...
