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.
Huge 6.3in screen, Waterproof, not just water resistant, Handwriting recognition with regular pen or pencil
Relatively heavy, No camera flash, No AU release date
The Sony Xperia Z blurs the line between a phone and a tablet. The company claims the 6.4in smartphone is the world's slimmest with a full HD display...
Slim, attractive design, Waterproof, Good musically (with the right headphones)
Poor camera, Video processing is overdone, Feels oversized for phone use
Even if its size does appeal, its poor video performance takes away one of the putative advantages of its USP in one fell swoop.And while music fares better, its camera is a disappointment too....
Abstract: New technology has allowed our phones to get smaller and smaller, so it might be considered strange that one of the new big trends is for 'phablets'. These smartphones feature screens so big that they could easily double as fully-functioning tablets (henc...
Great big screen is great for movies, Loves bath time, Oodles of power, Sexy looks
Poor camera, ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE
The Xperia Z Ultra is a sleek, well-built super-phablet that blends together power, a premium build and a superb display to create a device that really can act as both a small tablet and smartphone. Once you get used to its huge size (and learn to not a...
The Xperia Z Ultra is definitely not a device that everyone should rush out and buy but it is an exceptionally useful and wonderfully executed device. Going back to a standard (5 inch) phone for every day use has really proved how good the Z Ultra is and...
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 , HTC One Max and Nokia Lumia 1520 are all big phones, but Sony has just out done the lot with the Xperia Z Ultra. See all smartphone reviews . The phablet has a whopping 6.4in display so is closer to the size of a Nexus 7 than...
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a nicely made device but doesn't represent good value for money. The phablet is extremely unwieldy and doesn't have a great camera. Sony would have been better off making this a 7in tablet rather than a 6.4in phone.>> Read on…Pa...
The Xperia Z Ultra is Sony's new addition to the phablet market: lightweight, scratchproof AND waterproof, Big screen, Lightweight, Scratchproof, Waterproof (up to 1.5m), Can use any pen or pencil as a stylus
A little too big for putting in your pocket
Compared to other smartphones on the market - such as the iPhone - the Z Ultra is hard to beat if you're looking for a great multimedia handset.If you are looking for a tablet as well as a handset but don't want to carry around two devices, the Xperia Z U...

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....
