Sony Xperia Z Ultra

The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a razor-thin but immense smartphone from Sony. The screen on the device measures an almost impossible 6.4 inches which is almost as big as some tablets. So rightfully a "phablet" which is synonymous with a cross between "phone" and "tablet".

Utopically large

Sony surprised quite a bit with the introduction of this Xperia Z Ultra. For a long time, it was the largest smartphone in the world. No wonder because the screen measures 6.4 inches diagonally. That's almost twice as big as the first iPhones. But fortunately, the device manages to impress in more ways than one. For example, the Z Ultra is also particularly thin; 6.5 millimeters. Of course it remains a large device but it still feels relatively compact in a special way.

Waterproof too

Like many other Sony phones, this Xperia Z Ultra is also waterproof. That can be quite handy in our climate where it is not always dry. But also in the summer you can use it to your heart's content to call and surf near the pool. Another possibility of the waterproof and dustproof housing is in the kitchen. Just a quick look up a recipe with your dirty fingers is no problem. And the large screen allows you to simultaneously watch a cooking video, open a written recipe and answer incoming messages. There is enough screen to have it all in view at the same time.

Applications

Such a large phone is useful for several things. For example, you can have a lot in view. Reading a web page needs to be done without a lot of scrolling. But watching videos is also a pleasure. Moreover, the large screen means that the tablet can be left at home. But the format of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra can also be useful for those who no longer see so well. You can choose a larger font, making it all just a bit more readable.
