I recently received my White Xperia Z Ultra and made a few videos on what i consider the Good and bad points.
If you have any questions or would like me to answer any question or make other videos, then please leave me a message.
Thanks and have a great day!
- apparently since i am new i can not post links yet.
Search YouTube for: Sony Xperia Z ULTRA - The GOOD Points.
Thanks. I have a lot more content too and more Z Ultra videos are coming

Thanks for the videos mate... How are you finding the sound quality and volume out of the internal speaker, during gaming and video playback? :good:

No problem
To be honest, i am finding the speaker perfectly capable. Not as good as the HTC One obviously but it is better than the normal Xperia Z.
However, i often use headphones so i do not disturb others around me when i am watching video or listening to music etc. The speaker does sound good though and i have not had any issues with it. It sounds quite smooth, also rather full and not tinny. The sound it produces feels like it has some body to it at least.
Where did you get it? I'm trying to get my hands on one in Norway, but it ain't easy. I guess i'll just have to wait until it gets released in Europe in september, but i'm just curious. Nice video btw! I'll take a look at the "BAD POINTS" video now

I ordered mine from a store in Hong Kong. Received it about 6 days after ordering. However I had to pay about 1500,- DKK in customs tax. Total cost was 6900 DKK. I was kinda desperate and had no intentions of waiting until September lol
But yeah, I love the phone. Really really amazing device.
Nice videos, thanks I'm really torn between this phone and next note3

I was the same as you but to be honest 2 things made up my mind.
1: the note 3 will have worse design and look uglier than the Z Ultra. Not as premium.
2: it won't be as big either. I want the biggest phone I can carry so yeah

It cost me £775 including customs vat. Expensive I know but yeah. Being a tech geek isn't cheap haha. Plus I really did not want to wait 2 months for the European release.
Honestly though, I paid about £500 for the HTC one on release and I felt disappointed and had buyers remorse fairly fast.
However, having spent almost £800 on the Z Ultra, I feel nothing but happiness because the device really is that good. I can't emphasise enough just how blazing quick the phone feels and how beautiful the screen is.

I was tempted to do it myself but for the sake of just over a month I think I'll wait. The UK retail is £612 at clove, and that is with a few accessories. I might be able to pick it up cheeper elsewhere.
Im on 3 and due for an upgrade. They have already said they will carry it, but unfortunately I think its going to be bootlocker unlockable version. I will just shop around and pick one up then go on a sim only contract.
Im also waiting to see if someone will bring out a powerjacket device like they did for the Xperia Z.
Looks like it will me my next device though. I like big phones, I have a note 2 and I just bought the mrs the 6.3" mega (she has basic needs). All in all really looking forward to it.

Ah OK, thanks. I think i'll just wait for it to hit the stores here One other thing, how are third party apps? Are they running in phone mode? Tablet mode? I'm going to kick it into tablet mode when the ZU gets rooted (if all apps are running in phone mode), since i personally think it's a waste of space to use phone mode on a screen this size.
First of all thanks for the vids. A bit worried on the battery front so waiting to see what note 3 has to say for itself. You did say battery is as good as note 2 which works well for me st the moment. What a beauty! Home run for Sony at long last.

Nice videos.
I have few questions.
1. Are you facing overheating issues, have you tried playing heavy HD games for long hours. If it does overheat how bearable is it??
2. Few Xperia Z users who have faced with overheating issue have found out that the glass panel has raised near the camera, which is the place of overheating. were you able to see any such issue if it's overheating??
3. Does the screen work if we put the device to a sweaty face ?? our sweat contains a little amount of salt, so if i put the device near to my sweaty ear, will it affect the device and make it unusable ??
Thanks

Hi,
Today Xperia Tablet S starts selling in U.K., just want honest opinion from actual owners, is it worth buying?
Share your views and brief opinion about ur Xperia Tablet, m wondering if anyone purchased yet :silly:
Please rate using Voting button, thanks..
My other options are:
1. NEXUS 7 (cheap n best, but not yet available in SG)
2. Galaxy Note 10.1 (pricy n not as smooth as SGS3 or Nexus 7)
I actually just sold my Nexus 7, it wasn't what I was hoping for, smooth yes, but lacked functionality and was "too" Google for me.
The Xperia is launched tomorrow, not today - i've already got one reserved which i'll pic up tomorrow, but the store has said I can play with the demo model first

M also quite certain that I will buy XTS once its available in Singapore, just hope it gains popularity amongst devs !!
Nexus7 in malaysia is not so cheap. Could get the tablet s or acer iconia for that said price.
A friend of nine has the tablet s, and i really like it, so am really interested with the tablet s. Would probably buy it. But i atleast need root to install ubuntu.

Nexus7 is too small,16G is too small,samsung 10.1 is expensive, tablet s will upgrade to 4.1,so i will choice tablet s.
Agreed. As I've said before, anyone upgrading/downgrading from a Tablet S to a Nexus 7 (or vice versa) should be bloody sure they know what they're doing. The two devices are a whole different beast to use and live with. That 2.4-inch difference in screen sizes changes a lot. There's also the many differences in functionality and features that mean thy are each suited to a completely different user style. Each to their own, I guess, but I'm always surprised.

Totally agree with you. Ultimately, i think the buying decision should be what you're using your tablet for, hence for me, i chose the sony tablet s for its screen size (reading comics, magazines). Im not comfortable with 7inch form factor. Specs imo should come second. Real time user experience should always be first.
With that said, the new kindlefire HD's (7.0 & 8.9) is givin me the headache at the moment. Seems like a very decent offerings from amazon.

It certainly looks good aesthetically. From what i've heard, Sony seems to have addressed the problems with the previous tablet, (wifi, speakers, etc). The aluminium body and splash resistant is a plus definitely.
How much do you reckon the price is gonna in Singapore? Any idea?

Post a mini review!!! :victory: What was your previous tablet?
much to my chagrin, the HTC One Max will not be released anytime soon (prior to October). i desperately want a new device and i've decided to get the XZU.
i'm currently on StraightTalk/AT&T and from what i've read, there is no current version of the XZU that will provide 4G, but HSPA+ is attainable.
i stream a great deal of music to my phone, surf the net a lot, a few movies here and there and talk on the phone for less that 200 minutes a month.
- for those of you here in the US, and particularly those on StraightTalk, is there a problem when trying to stream content to your device?
- which model are you using?
- where should i purchase this device from to avoid the dreaded blank screen problem.
- and do you recommend I wait for the 4g variant, instead?
any additional feedback would be most appreciated, as well.

I am in the exact same situation. I am currently on ATT and in need of a new phone. Was really looking forwards to the HTC Max, but the Xperia Z Ultra just seems better. My questions are the same. Would love an educated response. Thanks in advance.

im setting it up now..hopefully it'll be a successful marriage between it and the XZU when it arrives...

Was really charmed to hear HTC was making a "phablet", but unfortunately a 5..9" can't replace a tablet, I would still need to play around with my N7 and bring both of them. I hope one day I can have a HTC phone again, but seems that since the Sensation XE they never developed something that was matching my needs :crying:
Build quality, design and HTC UI are top notch and devs are at its level. Between a NG3 and One Max no hesitation go Max, but XZU and Max are really different in size.
The extra half an inch on the ZU is great, ask my wife!!
To be very honest I have the Xperia Z , the S4 The Htc one , optimus G pro ( NO I DONT own a mobile shot )
I have not been so pleased with any of the above than the ZU , the best smartphone out there , yes you will miss the IR blaster and flash on this but considering the general daily usage this phone just is the best , 0 viewing angles , its far better than the S4 and the G pro with color reproduction I am so happy sony finally sorted this out... with the Z1 the videos I saw looks like it lacks still the calibration as it still uses the same screen as ZU but has some viewing angles problem must be because of calibration though. but withe slimness of the phone and the amazing battery life and performance multitasking becomes an easy task.
This is defntely recomended above Note 3 simple reason the Note 3 has tooooooo many software gimicks which in the end you wont use at the same time no one to sit and teach you all those and you would nt have time either or all those features hog battery and to save battery you will end up turning them off...
That's good to hear. Is it safe to assume that waiting until the 13th for the LTE varient is a better idea? Or is getting the 6802 with only HSPA+ not really a noticeable difference?

6802 is good enough for me... Sure the extra mbps are nice but doesn't justify spending more money.. Plus I get good HSPA+ area so I'm getting around 10-14mbps..

How much extra is it really going to be? My area is great for HSPA+, but if i eventually want to sell it I feel like people won't want to buy the 6802.

Hi Don't make the mistake my Mother made, when she and bought the Xperia Z Ultra instead of waiting for the Note 3 like I told her. It turns to be a big mistake, she can not swap out battery, the battery life is so short, there is not stylus built in, she constant have to remember to carry some pencil, there is no wacom technology, she can not sketch nature like she can with the Note 3, she can not put the Ultra in her pants and walk or sit down with it, it is so impractical. There is no flashlight like, so she can not use the phone as a torch, which is vital for at night time, she fell yesterday because of the lack of flashlight and nearly killed herself. Also the camera is only 8M. Also there is no IR blaster, so she can't not use the phone as a remote control for her TV, she have to use the original TV controller, which is inconvenient because she have to turn no the light to see the keys on the TV remote controller, which means she have to get up and turn on the light, which is bad for her because she's got backache. Also she like to watch horror movies, the LCD on the Ultra can not display true black like the Amoled.

It just your mom don't like it. That's all.
I was going to wait and get the LTE version but then I did speed tests of my HSPA+ model and still got 15-20mbps frequently
I was getting 19 mbps yesterday which is quite good, sure it is not LTE speeds I was getting around 50 mbps on my galaxy s4 when I had it but I can live with the slower speeds I ended picking up a used c6802 for a very good price less then half of what I can order the LTE model for and I am very happy with it especially after updating to the 510 firmware the battery life is much much better

Lol, you forgot to mention how she's now on dialysis and has Parkinson's disease, all because of the Z Ultra.
Till I get this phone. It is taking way too long. Watching all these xperia z ultra videos on youtube make it worse. Haha, it is supposed to be here by thursday but fed ex has not updated since saturday on the tracking I may call them tomorrow.... I also ordered a case and temperate glass screen protector and I might buy a screen protector for the back and side. I am trying to decide. I want nothing to happen to this phone. I am so excited to have a phablet. I have always wanted A phablet since the first galaxy note came out and I am finally getting one.
i was carded today with mine so i'll pick it up after work tomorrow.
as for cases, i'm waiting for cp12 pricing before deciding
On Friday! !

Mine is coming tomorrow!!!! It was supposed to come on thursday. I am so happy. I cant wait!!
I had a C6802 since launch day. Paid ridiculous price for it. I sold it today and bought a C6833 LTE version. Should be here by Friday. Was a long time NOTE user before Xperia. I had Note 1, 2 and Just Bought Note 3. But Xperia is a much better Device. Just the camera sucks, but don't take photos so not a big deal.
Is there a reason the C6806 is not available on ATT? Sony needs to work on their distribution strategy if they're going to compete with Apple, Samsung in the US. Having to buy it unlocked for around $800 is crazy. I'm up for a phone upgrade with ATT and won't even be using it...Sony work on your distribution!!
btw looks like C6806 will be released 10/14/03 according to Newegg website

I love the Xperia Z ultra because of the thinness of the device and how powerful it is, im not to fussed about the camera or that it has no flash. the battery life looks good too, and i must say the screen is the best feature with that X reality engine and Bravia engine, it looks amazing.
Bear in mind im getting either or after xmas, 6 months later im due an upgrade so should i go to a 5" device now and then bigger in June when my contracts up
I love the Xperia Z1 because its still pretty thin and has the same specs, battery life looks to be around the same, and that camera would probably come in handy eventually
what do you guys think?
Ive posted this in both Z1 and Z Ultra thread to get an idea of which to get
Jack
Sony store. You'll pay a little extra, but then you have peace of mind.
I got mine through an online store. Saved $100, but ended up paying more...
Sent it back for repair, had to pay for it to be send back to me... and 7 weeks later its still not arrived back.

It all comes down to size and screen (and camera).
- If you want a phablet, get the Ultra
- If you want the best screen, get the Ultra
- If you want the best camera, get the Z1
That's about it.
Depends on what you want more now a big screen or small screen . And the type of phones coming out in sort of 6months time. I have my xzu and HTC one at the same time and it's pretty awesome. But I would say xzu is great because it's very big I use it as a video player audio book player and mostly satnav in my car for work. Only problem with the waterproof Sony's is the sound quality I'm not fussed about loudspeaker but the actual phone headset in call is dreadful.

I think ill get the Z ultra xD
I think xzu is better because you get more screen size with better display but with cheaper price (at least xz1 is around 150US$ more here) phone camera can be easily fixed should you choose to buy qx devices. So unless you have problem of small hands, xzu is a better way to go.

I had the same confusion as you.... I picked up the ZU and never once I have regretted getting it.... The camera to be viewed over the phone is Ok... Noting great and that's all I use it for.... So I'm fine with it... Over ZU demands a lot of attention.... Everyday for the last 2 months.... People have come up to me and said... Woaahh that's amazing... It's good to have a phone that not only is good but actually does turn heads and I'm glad I dint go with the note 3

Exactly why i want it XD
Hi guys!
I'm planning on buying a new phone (my 2013 Moto x is too old!) and I think the edge is the best phone in the market right now
I'm definitely not a fan of TouchWiz but the latest version is quite better and prettier!
I still have some doubt and I hope you guys can help with my decision (sadly it's still quite expensive..)
- is the battery so bad like all reviews are saying? It is enough to get through the day with a normal usage (wifi, browsing, some calls, some google map, slack, gmail)
- is there any real difference between the isocell and Sony rear camera?
- is there a way to moderate the fish eye effect of the front camera (like in the gopro where you can choose to rectify the photo)
Thanks a lot guys!!
- any issue I should be aware?
Well now that the prices have plummeted, you can buy it without regrets.
I bought it when it came out for the full price. Being an early adopter of Samsung/android hurts... it actually makes me angry...
-battery is ok on wifi, sucks on mobile.. you'll need a powerbank for sure depends how you use it

You could also consider the new nexus or Sony if you're looking for alternatives.
If you're not rooting, get package disabler to remove all the bloatware on the S6. Will give you a better battery

thanks a lot for your tip, but the s6 is already a bit too big for me, the new nexus and sony are really too much
i'm more for 4.7' smartphone, but there are no valid option right now!
