With its 6.5 mm body, reflective glass surface and at 212 grams, this premium big screen phone is impressively slim, light and slick. The new Sony Xperia Z Ultra offers the world’s largest Full HD smartphone display in a design that is impossibly slim and lightweight. This is a device that takes smartphone technology to a new level.

Xperia Z Ultra 8 megapixel camera with HDR for video and photos
By adopting the technology of luminance and colour noise reduction, Sony have created a camera that snaps highly detailed shots with low noise – even in challenging lighting conditions.

Sony Xperia Z Ultra 2.2GHz quad-core processor
This advanced Quad-core processor is 75% faster than S4 Pro and gives you maximum power and speed with outstanding battery time – run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with little loading time, and stream videos without a break. The Snapdragon 800 processor is asynchronous, which means each core is powered independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don’t.
Sony Xperia Z Ultra STAMINA mode for improved battery life
Battery STAMINA Mode saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when you’re not using your display and automatically turns off the functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again
