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 HD screen, powerful processor, okay camera, waterproof, dust resistant
Too big for your pocket, camera not as good as other Z models, not cheap
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra looks gorgeous but its size makes it very much a niche product. Too big to fit in a pocket, and too big for many to feel comfortable holding it to their ear for a phone call, it certainly isn't for everyone. But it's fast, and th...
At more than £600 unlocked, the Ultra is far from cheap, though compared to a 64GB iPhone 5S it's a steal. Price aside, the Z Ultra is now the definitive VLP. The screen is vast and visually stunning, the battery capacious, the media apps an object lesso...
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is an outstanding smartphone, let's start with that. We would even go so far as to say that, hardware-wise, it's the best smartphone Sony has made. The SoC is very powerful, the screen is of excellent quality and the waterproof c...
If you can deal with the size, the Z Ultra is a lovely piece of kit. We see it as the perfect halfway point between tablet and phone and a great replacement for either, provided you don't mind carrying it about.Paired up with a Bluetooth headset, settled...
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra has a stonking screen, feels great in the hand and is even waterproof.
Holding it to your ear can make you feel a bit daft
If you don't mind a big phone held next to your lughole, this is a powerful and impressive gadget that works as a highly capable tablet. It's a slick piece of kit....
Stunning Full HD display Water resistant (IP55/IP58 certified) Ultra-slim design
Freakishly large
This humongous device has a sheen of brilliance about it provided by its excellent display and sumptuous design. Whether its size will leave it festering in the hinterland of not-quite-smartphone, not-quite phablet, is not yet clear. We'll be taking a clo...

Abstract: Earlier this week Sony made their entry into the phablet market with the announcement of the Xperia Z Ultra . At 6.44 inches, it is the largest smartphone on the market but how does it compare with rival phablets? The best placed competitor is the Huawei ...
