I really hope a z ultra 2 is realesed !
I prefer not to believe this is an April fool... but it does sound like it solves my 2 sticking points...

Can't see why they would make an April's fool out of a vague rumor... It's not even a prank.

Wait till tomow, when the author of that article comes back and says "psyc!"
All I want out of the ZU2 would be better battery, LED Flash on the camera (For flashlight abilities) and an official case that doesn't have a loose stylus holder and make the almost double it's size.
They can keep it's appearance the same, they can leave the screen the same size (Though bigger would be nice, if only up to 6.5"), hell they could even keep the same processor since the difference between the 800 and the 801 they include isn't really big.

Won't happen. Again, why would they joke about a rumor about a niche product that 87 people cares about? Yes, there are 87 Ultra users in the world, so you better feel special. A better prank would be to announce that Sony has sold its mobile devision to those bastards at Lenovo, or that Sony is dropping Android for WindowsPhone.
You should dust off your April fools prank skills, son, 'cause you ain't gonna prank anyone with this weak sauce!

Unless they have some really neato software in the Z2 Ultra I'll probably wait for the GPE.

Google I/O is in June(?) so i guess we'll get to see Android 4.5/5.0, which the Ultra GPe will get pretty quickly, so.. not sure i'm going to upgrade this year, unless the ZU 2 is crazy gorgeous and has a teleporter of some kind.
The source is way too vague, anyone could have come up with a news like that.
I bet my 6 yo daughter could come up with something even better.
Come on, "allegedly", "this summer", "at some point in 2014", "led flash and 13mpx camera"... anyone could have guessed any of those, this is simply a bad article, that's it.
And BTW, if they *will fit* a led flash, I don't see why they couldn't fit a freaking 20mpx camera as on the Z2.

This phone is enough for years
I'll throw my 2cents in although i don't own the phone. So if I were you, I'd wait for the GX. It has the quite "new" Snapdragon S4 processor inside and that one is really a beast in terms of performance as it even blows away the Tegra 3 quadcore(4+1) in some benchmarks or in overall system performance. It won't take that long from now until the GX(international TX?) is released, so if you can wait, wait for it, I really recommend it. I'm lucky that I am on a long year contract with O2 already and I am allowed to choose a new phone this or next year for a fee of just 49€, so I will definitely get the GX!
Hi Guys
My girlfriend is thinking about getting this phone, mainly because of the water, dust and scratch resistance while it still being a powerful phone with lovely camera and an awesome processor.
My question is: How well does it handle in real life when comming to being dropped on the ground, dropped in a pile of water etc?

Hi Guys,
I was on the point of purchasing a SONY XPERIA Z ULTRA...then the news hit me today that LG are bringing out a identical size phablet..with KitKat (Android 4.4) and a higher ppi and who knows other features that may fix the shortcomings of the Z Ultra.
I don't know what to do ! wait or jump in and get the Z Ultra...I particularly like the stylus ability of the ZU and not sure if the LG will have that feature.
If I do go for the Z Ultra should I go for the 4G(LTE) or 3G version.....the 3G version seems to be cheaper....but this is a phablet I am going to purchase and get a SIM only deal and be free of any contract with a network provider, so am looking to make the right purchase (all my previous phones have been on contract).
Help guys...any advice/thoughts on my dilemma would be appreciated
Do you have a source regarding the LG phablet?

Think this just depends on how long your willing to wait but from what i read about the LG handset you wont see a thing about it till CES apart from rumored specs and again all just speculation. if you like the Z Ultra go for that. There will always be the current handset beater around the corner just go with what you like at the time. you never know the speed Sony are going you might just see a Z Ultra 2 at CES.
Same site giving us details to the Xperia Z2 already damn.
Ces 2014.. that's way too long to wait.. i'll go for the LTE ultra as soon as i complete my budget by end of sept
"Sent from my refrigerator"
Wut? Same screen size and fhd res with higher ppi? That can only happen if the resolution is cranked up right? And ces 2014? By the time lg launched it, the birth of nex-gen SoC is already near..
Anyway, good times of huge screen "phones" is definitely coming... Hurray for huge screens!

Yup Quad HD.
http://lgdnewsroom.com/press_releases/2734
Can somebody please explain to me what exactly is the point of increasing pixel density past ~350 ppi? Once you can't see pixels anymore, you're just wasting processor cycles and battery life. I can't even start to see pixels on my Z Ultra until I get closer than 6 inches away.
Nope, not for me. LG software sucks and the screen definitely won't be a beautiful triluminos and not shown until CES? Ridiculous comparison imho.

I went to my local T-Mobile store to buy a spare phone for work.
The Manger was there and saw my Ultra.
He told me he recently met with Sony representatives and said they're getting the second generation ultra.
He said it has the same omnibalance design but features a 6.2 inch display.
I thought he might have been talking about the t2 ultra but said it wasn't that one.
He said it's coming in a couple months.
What do you guys think? Maybe you should ask your local T-Mobile stores.
Doomlord said there wasn't going to be a new one. Not sure how that manager met with anyone important at Sony but might of well just wait and see what Sony does instead of speculating and jumping the gun.

Just reporting, I'm guessing they meet with Sony representatives to see how sales are going and to inform them of product changes just like all stores do with other brand representatives.
I'll ask around other stores in my area and see if anything coincides.

The thin structure which actually causes it's downfall later on? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my phone. It's the longest I've keep any single smartphone! However having to take it out of pocket before sitting down(because I wasn't doing that before), because now if it gets pressure a certain way while playing music on the speaker; audio cuts out. I have to constantly bend it back to try and maintain a straight phone.
Just wish it was slightly thicker which would have made it a bit more sturdy.

As the title suggests, OnePlus have announced that they wont ship to US or Canada for 3 weeks after they start in Europe due to "Production Schedules", Yet Europe shipments are unaffected? This makes no sense.
So in reality it will be a minimum of a Month before its even shipped if you got an invite today!
Honestly don't know why people are putting up with their rubbish.

At this point, it'd be best to just wait to see what Google does with their upcoming Nexus devices.
If Huawei's influence on the phone is large, then we can expect the same sort of things we got with the OP2, but with the added benefit of Android M and NFC - possibly external storage too. LG might make a great phone too, who knows! At this point, OnePlus' invite system and delay is a farce.
I was genuinely interested but I just can't get over the horrible way they go about selling their phones. I'd rather wait the month or two to see what Google/LG/Huawei do with the nexus and go that route, although we're likely to see a shortage of nexus's as usual.
Agree. Let's wait and see the nexus 5.

Moto X is quite cool! Definitely being pushed in that direction in to buying one that is
2 reasons I won't get this device:
- They play too much, this invite system sucks and it is super hard to buy this phone unless you buy it from someone else costing +$300.
- I rather get a Nexus device, I will wait til October. Plus, I'm very interested in seeing how Android Pay will work, so I will need that NFC the OPT does not have.
When on earth are they going to start sending these to the US??? I don't think I'm getting one anymore, but I'm just curious at this point.

I live in the US and received mine on Friday. Was 103 on the invite list, took 3 days after I ordered it. Could not be happier. This thing is very nice and I'm sure that it's much nicer than the another plastic moto.....with another sub-par camera. Read the camera reviews for the moto play, the style has the same camera. Lol and moto promised to "bring it" this year with the camera.

I've just had a look on Expansys UK, as that's where I got my last couple of ZUs (for £200). I notice that they are no longer selling them. Has Sony finally stopped making ZUs? Still available from sony.co.uk for £350, but only in white...

The Premium looks like a really really great device, but it's just a slightly bigger Z5 with an screen that's not really necessary today. I would rather have a slightly larger device, like the Ultra, with smaller top and bottom bezels and a Snapdragon 820. We don't even know if the new Ultra even exist, but if I'm going to get a new device this year, it'll probably be the Z5. I just don't see the point of the 4K panel on the Premium.
Yeah, I agree, Z5 Ultra would be great. I wish... But Z5 Premium is just to damn small, I'd rather have a Z Ultra.
There's another option for T2U, but the spec is pretty disappointing (only 1GB RAM), so I have to hunt for ZU to replace my failing LTE tablet.
Yeah, Sony are still selling T2U but eBay ZU is probably better value.
The T2U is (well, even was at release) a mid-end device, so that would be a downgrade from the ZU. I don't just want a big screen. I want a big screen with raw specs packed inside a beautiful body, so I'll probably wait and see what happens. I'm guessing that some proper details about the new Ultra has to leak at some point, if it's real. Every single Xperia released was at one point leaked, so I'm expecting the same with the Ultra.
