Sony Xperia Z Ultra LTE Price in Philippines, Specs, Unboxing Kimstore Package : Does The 6.4-Inch Phablet Fit In The Pocket?
Just from looking at press photos and studying the specs-sheet of Sony Xperia Z Ultra LTE, it's hard not to expect the Japanese company's 2013 flagship phablet not be a beast of a device in the flesh.
Holding it now, I tell you, it definitely lives up to all of my lofty expectations; It's truly elegant and durable, beautiful and powerful all at the same time.
Measuring only 6.5 millimeters at its thickest point and weighing just 212 grams, Sony Xperia Z Ultra reflects Sony's legendary craftsmanship and attention to detail. The phablet flaunts clean lines and premium materials – the front and back are made of tempered glass, creating a seamless surface with the OptiContrast panel housed in an innovative solid metal frame which looks stunning from any angle. Furthermore, Z Ultra - available in White, Purple, and Black color finishes - comes with the same acclaimed and ultra-slick OmniBalance design as Sony Xperia Z and the Sony Tablet Z.
IP55 and IP58 Certified, this mega phablet isn't only resistant to dust, but is also completely waterproof – making it an ideal phablet for power users living an active lifestyle or pushing the limits of their gadgets to the extreme. You can use it to record Full HD underwater videos, taking your large-screen smartphone experience to a whole new level. Love taking photos under the rain? No problem!
The 8 MegaPixel camera features Exmor RS (backside illuminated sensor) for Mobile, HDR for both photos and videos, and Superior Auto mode, which automatically activates HDR and noise reduction when needed, so you're assured of getting crisp and vibrant images and videos even in low light conditions.
Last April, I disclosed that Sony will bring its TRILUMINOS BRAVIA display technology to upcoming high-end Xperia mobile devices. Well, Sony Xperia Z Ultra with its 6.4-inch Full HD screen is the very first smartphone to don Sony's very own TRILUMINOS Display for mobile, which delivers a far wider palette or gamut of rich natural colors for an enhanced visual experience (versus the plain TFT display of Sony Xperia Z). Also, users will enjoy X-Reality for mobile - Sony's intelligent super resolution display technology formerly available only on BRAVIA TVs - analyzing each image and reproduces blurry or missing pixels to optimize quality for the sharpest images and videos possible.
Xperia Z Ultra looks arresting on the outside but its innards are just as stunning. The phablet effectively handles multitasking with 2GB of RAM and runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system skinned by Sony's gorgeous Timescape user interface with its Quad Core 2.2 GHz Krait 400 based Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset. Sony Xperia Z Ultra's powerhouse innards combine to give the handset Antutu Benchmark Test scores in the area of 32,400 to 33,600 - which were unrivaled prior to the release of Samsung Galaxy Note3.
Users likewsie get 16 GB of internal storage, which is expandable via microSD card slot and a 3050 mAh Li-Ion battery pack optimized by the company's new STAMINA Mode for mobile devices that significantly quadruples the standby time as it recognizes when the user is not using the display and automatically turns off the functionalities that are not needed, while keeping the important notifications and connectivity options on.
Kimstore, my trusted online store, is currently offering the LTE-capable version of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra for just Php 28,880, which I think is already very low for a release of this caliber. For purchase information, kindly give Kim a ring at +63908-886-9799 or (02) 904-2966.
The Kimstore package includes the unit itself (the battery is non-removable), the in-ear headphones, two pairs of extra silicon buds, earphones wire clip, microUSB to USB connector cable, and the charger.
Although Sony Xperia Z Ultra could be considered the Japanese company's first legit answer to Samsung's very successful Note phablet line, the 6.4-inch device - oddly enough - doesn't ship with a stylus. Apparently, this is because - according to Sony - you can use any pen or pencil to write on Z Ultra's scratch-resistant capacitive glass touchscreen. While I think that's cool and all, it would have been really nice had Sony also included an S-Pen like tool tucked in its hole somewhere on the shell of the phablet. I mean, it's great that you can use a pencil to write on the display but I'd really hate wiping the lead off the glass after I'm done scribbling.
Oh, and if you're wondering: Yes, 6.4-inch Sony Xperia Z Ultra LTE fits perfectly in the pocket - or, at least, in my jeans' front pocket when I'm standing up. Frankly, though, it's a bit awkward and I often find myself taking it out when I sit down - especially if I'm wearing tight pants. I know the phablet is supposed to be quite durable but when I think about how thin it is, I just know I'd do well to take extra care of it.

Too bad, though, unlike Sony Xperia Z and Z1, Sony Xperia Z Ultra LTE it doesn't have an LED flash. Why didn't you give it that essential feature, Sony?!
