The editors didn't like
Larger than other 6inchers
Uncomfortable to hold and carry
Camera lacks flash
Could be better quality
Relatively weak and hollow earpiece sound
Multi-window would be awesome
Camera is average
Even considering the Sony Z Ultra GPE's carrier-unsubsidized status
$649 is an exorbitant amount to pay. The Z Ultra's overblown size makes it unwieldy to operate and its camera is disappointing
Enormous. Really
It's too big. Average camera. No multitasking
Enormous. Average camera. Lacks software to take advantage of screen real estate
Impractically big
Mediocre camera + no flash
Ports under flaps
It's crazy big. Odd dock connector location on the lefthand side. Like on the Xperia Z
The temperedglass front and rear panels are still huge fingerprint magnets. Grainy lowlight photos
Extremely large for a smartphone
Mediocre display
Relatively poor battery life
Inconsistent touch responsiveness
Uncertain availability
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.

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...
When modern day tablets first came into the market, the line between phone and tablet was very clear. In recent times the line got a little blurred as phones got a little larger and tablets a little smaller. The Sony Xperia Z Ultra totally obliterates tha...

The Sony Xperia Z Ultra takes the phablet concept, adds a bit more size, a lot more elegance and throws in specs to die for. More connectivity options than a very connected thing, more grunt than a Ferrari. Sony knows it will be a very niche device. But 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...

The Xperia Z Ultra is a curious device that you absolutely need to feel first before you decide whether it's for you. Either you'll be won over by its super-sized screen and slender body, or you'll look at it and laugh at the Amazonian giant...

As a tablet, the Xperia Z Ultra is really rather nice, with a mostly premium feel and very solid performance.It's so large it can't even hide behind itself.As a phone, though, it's a much more mixed offering. There comes a physical point where it becomes...

The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a great smartphone, it is also a very big one. Those who crave the big screen will love the speedy performance, Sony's great UI and its excellent media playback options. It's just a shame that the camera isn't as good as the res...

Abstract: When we saw the Xperia Z last year, we were concerned. Not because it was a bad device; quite the opposite. No, we worried because it was going to be impossible to follow it up with something as impressive. Turns out our fears couldn't have been more unfo...
