Sony Xperia Z Ultra Rumored to Release on September 13, To Face off against Samsung Galaxy Note 3

July 20, 2013 By Lori David Leave a Comment

Word on the street is that the Xperia Z Ultra from Sony has been scheduled for a release on September 13, which if true will mean it’s just a few days that will separate the Sony launch from that of its competitor, the Galaxy Note 3’s unveiling. The next gen Samsung phablet is expected to be launched on September 4, just two days prior to the 2013 edition of the IFA kicks off on September 6. Sony had hinted at a launch window of the third quarter of this year during the unveiling of the Xperia Z Ultra earlier in the year. While, we are well into that period, an official release date is still elusive. However, retailers seem to be settling down to the date of September 13 which might not have been set in stone yet though does seem to have the highest probability right now. The credit for coming across a specific launch date should go to XperiaBlog that had first comes across at the likely launch date of September 13.

Retailers Clove, Handtec as well as Amazon are also expecting the release date of Xperia Z Ultra to be on 13th September which is just two months away. However, Samsung and Sony are not the only two companies that will be launching their own take on a phablet device this September. In fact, the month of September can well be considered as the month of phablets what with HTC too expected to unveil its One Max, the phablet version of its One smartphone during the same month.

Coming back to the Sony offering, the Xperia Z Ultra is no doubt a massive device, even from the most conservative of estimates. However, it has perhaps set upon itself an even bigger task, that of taking on the segment leader, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Towards that, its makers have endowed with specs which speak of a 6.4 inch 1080p display which will make it the biggest among phablets, even nearer to tablet devices. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will have a display screen of 5.7 inches. The device will also include an 8 mp camera though the most unique aspect of the Sony phablet is that apart from being compliant with the standard stylus, users can also use a regular pencil to write on the display. These apart, the Xperia Ultra is built around a quad core Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.2 GHz all of which will be encased within a dust and water resistant body.

June 28, 2013 By David Crozier 1 Comment

Sony finally announced the Xperia Z Ultra device during the Mobile Expo Asia 2013 event held recently at Shanghai. This device had been discussed at length under the tags of Togari and Xperia ZU and the speculations have all proved to be right.

The display is all of 6.4 inch by size and based on Sony’s very own Triluminous technology. The LCD screen with a resolution of 2 million pixel is full HD capable and users would get an out of the world experience viewing the images in all their true color on the screen. Video playback would also have its own additional viewing experience given the X-Reality Engine that is loaded on the gadget.

Writing on the screen of the Xperia Z Ultra for taking notes would be possible by using any form of stylus, or even a graphite pencil or a metal pen. Sony did not clarify if they would be supplying a stylus along with the device.

As for its specs, the Xperia ZU Ultra would have a Snapdragon 800 processor which happens to be the latest from Qualcomm. The quad core chip is rated at 2.2 GHz and would be complimented by an Adreno 330 GPU for the graphics part. The CPU during bench tests had returned very high figures and therefore the device is expected to excel in performance. Other than these the device would have 16 GB of internal storage capacity with a microSD card expansion slot option and a RAM of 2GB.

For battery backup, the Xperia Z Ultra would come with a 3,000mAh battery pack. Sony has had to limit the battery pack to ensure thickness of the device is just 6.5 millimeter. This makes the device to be the second slimmest after the Ascend P6 made by Huawei, the difference being just 0.34 millimeter between the two. So far as the battery capacity goes, the Galaxy Note 2 has a 3,100 mAh and the HTC Butterfly has a 3,200 mAh battery pack. Higher battery pack capacity would also mean a heavier device, which in case of the Xperia Z Ultra is 212 grams. For comparison, the Nexus 7 inch weighs 340 grams.

The device features two cameras with the rear one being of 8 MP and having Exmor RS Sensor which makes it prefect for HDR video recordings. The front mounted webcam is of 2 MP resolution which makes it enough for for video chatting.

The Xperia Z Ultra follows its earlier siblings with a glass back, frames of metal as also silver elements being popped in on some of the buttons like the power on button. The device is rated IP 55 and IP 58 so far as protection from water and dust ingress goes. Users can select from white, black and purple color.

So far as OS goes, the device would have Android 4.2 along with apps from Sony for customizing the UI.  The gadget has been slated for a launch in the third quarter of this year, but no price details have been given till now.

Sony Xperia Z Ultra set to challenge Samsung Galaxy Note 3 – Check out the Specs and Features

June 15, 2013 By Micheal Baptiste 1 Comment

Samsung’s supremacy in the phablet market is in for a challenge from Sony, which is preparing to launch the Xperia Z Ultra phablet in July. Rumors to this end sparked off after the device appeared on a French press invitation to Sony’s July 4th smartphone-launch event in Paris. Xperia blog, one of the recipients to the event, likens the oversized device to the Xperia Z Ultra.

Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra

The rumored Xperia Z Ultra is coming with a pencil resembling the Stylus of Samsung Galaxy Note series. The phablet-like size and Stylus accompaniment have led tech enthusiasts to presume that it will rival Samsung’s Galaxy Note 2 or the much-awaited Note 3.

Leaked specs from Chinese website ePrice say that the device will have a 6.44-inch IPS LCD screen having a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a pixel density of 342ppi. The device will likely feature Sony’s X-Reality engine, succeeding its Mobile Bravia Engine 2, and OptiContrast technology. It will boast a 3,000mAh battery, 16GB built-in memory, and NFC, Wi-Fi and MHL connectivity features.  Powered by a whopping 2.2GHz Snapdragon chip and 2GB RAM, the device is likely to have far-fetched capabilities.

The rear camera will have an Exmor RS 8MP sensor with HDR, while the front camera will have a 1.3MP Exmor R. By comparison, the Galaxy Note 3’s rumored 13MP rear camera will have the edge. However, display-wise, the Xperia Z Ultra will outshine the Galaxy Note 3’s 5.99-inch screen. The leak via ePrice also shows that the Xperia Z Ultra has both IP55 and IP58 certifications, meaning that it will be water and dust resistant like Xperia Z, Sony’s current flagship smartphone.

Will the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 – expected in September – have the vigor to beat the sleek and gorgeous Xperia Z Ultra coming in July?
