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.

Sony Xperia Z UltraThe Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a fantastic small tablet with telephony features. Trying to justify it as a big smartphone just doesn't hold water anymore because the 6.4 inch display really is too big for that category. If you're in the mar...
