Why trust Greenbot
Sony’s Xperia Z Ultra is an incredibly polarizing device. At 6.44 inches, it’s almost impossible to call it a phone without laughing. That being said, it was the first phone to ship with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip, so it got a lot of attention. I’ve played with a Z Ultra on several occasions in stores, and even took a unit home for roughly 48 hours before I had to return it to Sony’s PR office, and for me it’s too big, but it’s also too expensive. The latter might soon not be an issue.
According to the FCC, there’s a variant of the Xperia Z Ultra out there that’s just been certified, with one key difference: There’s no 3G or 4G radios. If you’ll recall, there are two Z Ultras thus far. One has LTE, the other only does HSPA+. Could Sony be preparing a WiFi only model? What else could they potentially change? How much will they be able to drop the price?
Size is a personal issue. There’s no such thing as too small or too big, it’s what fits your needs. Testing the Galaxy Mega 6.3 for 30 days has made me realize that I’m ready to go bigger. Currently I have a 5.5 inch Galaxy Note II, and I’d like to see the Note 4 hit 5.9 inches or even 6.0 inches. There are even rumors out there saying Apple plans on building a 5.7 inch iPhone next year.
Maybe there’s something to phablets after all?
