Xperia Z Ultra:

optimized touchscreen sensitivity, for both finger gestures and writing / sketching with pencils, metal pens and selected styluses

Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra:

re-calibrated the display ever so slightly, to ensure viewing experiences remain bright & bold
economized power consumption for longer battery life
streamlined Exchange connection for faster email sync, display and download

firmware..firmware,,,firmware!

bakit kaya di nag-iisip ang sony? di naman water o dust resistant phone ang in ngayon.

kaka-water & dust resistant nila, sobrang laki tuloy ng Xp Z1, napakalapad ng bezel, napakabigat.

o kaya dapat 2 variants ang nirelease nila, yung water & dust resistant, tapos yung isa hindi. para may pagpipilian ang buyers.

i tried this phone just yesterday in a mall here in qatar, at feel na feel ko ang laki at bigat nito kumpara sa G2. 5.2 in ang screen ng G2, 5in ang sa z1, pero napakalaki ng weight at size difference nila, lalo na pag pinagtabi mo sila.

perfect na sana yung Z1 kung di sa overall size nito. at kung di sya ganun kalaki, malamang di din sya ganun kabigat!

si G2 naman, ok na sana kaso wala namang card slot.

hayyyyyyssssst!!!

Sony should make a non-Water resistant version of the Z1/Z Ultra but this time with an iPS/Super LCD display

Their TFT/triluminous crap is turning a lot of people off
