Sony has launched its biggest-ever smartphone, the Xperia Z Ultra, at a price point of Rs.
46,990. The phone will be available starting August 2, in Black, White and Purple colours.
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra sports a sleek look with a thickness of 6.5mm, and weighs 212 grams.
It features a 6.4-inch full-HD display with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels. It is the first
smartphone display that integrates Sony's Triluminos technology, which the company
introduced at CES with its Bravia televisions. Sony claims that through the technology the
display reproduces a greater range of rich, natural colours to deliver true, natural shades. The
technology also includes X-Reality for mobile, Sony's intelligent super resolution display
technology which as per the company, analyses each image and reproduces lacking pixels to
optimise quality for the sharpest videos.
Xperia Z Ultra is powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor
coupled with 2GB of RAM. It offers 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 64GB
via microSD card.
The Xperia Z Ultra sports an 8-megapixel Exmor RS rear camera and a 2-megapixel front facing
camera. The device includes LTE, NFC, Wi-Fi, 3G, DLNA and Bluetooth connectivity options. It
has a 3,000mAh battery that Sony claims could deliver up to 14 hours of talktime and 768
hours of standby time.
Just like the Xperia Z and Xperia Z Tablet, the Xperia Z Ultra is also dust and water proof and
comes with IP55 and IP58 certification. The Sony Xperia Z Ultra comes with handwriting
recognition support and the device's screen can work with a pencil or a stylus/ pen that has a
tip of more than 1mm(in diameter). It also comes with new and updated Sony Media
Applications that include apps like Walkman, Movies and Album, in addition to apps related to
handwriting recognition and some India specific apps such as Sony LIV catch up tv app and
Sony Music Jive app. The phone will also bundle a month's access to BigFlix movie streaming
