Sony Xperia Z Ultra review: perfect, but not practical

Smartphones have been getting bigger in the past couple years. The flagship products from HTC, LG, Samsung and Sony all have 5-inch screens or larger. Then you have the 5.5-inch LG Optimus G Pro and the Galaxy Note II from Samsung, and the recently-announced Galaxy Note 3 is even 5.7 inches. The Huawei Ascend Mate has a diagonal of 6.1 inches and the Samsung Galaxy Mega even 6.3 inches. Not to be outdone, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra we're looking at today kicks it up a notch to 6.4 inches.


That doesn't make the Xperia Z Ultra the largest device you can hold against your ear. The ASUS Fonepad and the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab can also be used that way. The older Galaxy Tab 7.7 was also capable of making calls. These 7-inch devices don't have the 16:9 aspect ratio of smartphones, but one that's more common for tablets, such as 1280x800 or 1024x600. When you look at it that way, you could call the Xperia Z Ultra the largest phone from one of the big brands.

Due to the relatively wide bezels above and below the screen, the Z Ultra is almost 18 centimeters long. It feels like you're putting a very large chocolate bar in your pocket. This is not a phone you forget you're carrying around. ?

It's too large to be practical, but at least it looks good. It carries a hefty pricetag too, costing around ?660.
