The booklet Sony Xperia Z Ultra. Characteristics of hardware and software parameters, strengths and weaknesses

A flawless premium class with excellent settings is the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The characteristics of this smartphone from the position of software and hardware will be presented in the framework of this review article.

Niche Fableta

Smartphone Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a device from the premium segment. It has a large and high-quality display, excellent technical specifications and a fairly fresh software component. But the cost of such a masterpiece of engineering thought can not be small. As a result, we get a fabulous size with a good hardware "stuffing". It was for users with high needs and was released Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The price for it at the start of sales reached 600 dollars, and this is another proof of the premium of this fablet.

Design, dimensions and control

The front panel of the tablet is mostly occupied by the touch screen in the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. Display Has an impressive diagonal, which is equal to 6.44 inches. Its matrix is made on the basis of the "IPS" technology and has a resolution equal to 1920 x 1080. The lower part of the screen replaces the usual control panel. That is, there are three buttons that are familiar to Android users. Above the screen is a front camera, sensors and a speaker. On the left side of the phabette are located volume controls, a lock button and a slot for memory cards. Also here is a port for connecting to a stereo headset device.

On the opposite side there is a SIM card slot and a microSYB port. On the back of the gadget is the main camera. Another plus is the case in Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The characteristic of its technical specifications indicates that it is manufactured in accordance with the requirements of IP55 / IP58. That is, it is dusty and waterproof.

The hardware base of the phabetlet

At a very productive, even by today's standards, the processor is based Sony Xperia Z Ultra. Characteristic Technical parameters of the central processing unit "Snapdragon 800" from the leading chip manufacturer for mobile devices of the company "Kualcom" is really impressive. He has 4 computational blocks of the "Krayit" architecture, which are capable of accelerating to 2.2 GHz under the greatest load. The only disadvantage of this semiconductor solution is the lack of support for 64-bit programs. But we do not forget that this CPU was released long ago, and at the time of its development this issue was not topical. Otherwise, this CPU without any problems will cope with any urgent task, which can be solved with the help of a phablet. The same can be said about the graphics accelerator Adreno 330.

The amount of RAM in the gadget is 2 GB, and the capacity of the integrated file storage is 16 GB. Some of them (about 4 GB) are occupied by system software, the rest can be used by the user entirely for their own needs. Also there is a slot for memory cards, the maximum size of which can reach fantastic 64 GB. The main camera has a sensor of "modest" 8 Mp, and a frontal one has 2 Mp. But do not forget that in this case we are talking about real values, rather than those obtained on a more modest sensor by interpolation. The quality of the photo of the main camera is excellent. The same can be said about the video. The possibilities of the front camera are quite enough for selfie. Well, for a video call this is more than enough.

Autonomy

The built-in battery capacity in the Sony Xperia Z Ultra C6833 is 3000 mAh. Now we need to take into account the diagonal of the display (6.44 inches), its resolution (FullAidDi) and very powerful, but very weak from the point of energy efficiency CPU. The only positive moment in this situation is the optimization of the system software by Japanese programmers.

All this in total allows even at an average load level at best to stretch 14-16 hours on one battery charge. With minimal use of the tablet, the battery life will increase to 2 days. Well, when you run any modern demanding three-dimensional game, this value will decrease to 3-4 hours. The only possible way to solve the problem with autonomy in this case is an external backup battery. Unfortunately, it is not included in the delivery package, and it will have to be bought separately. But it is this solution that will allow the owner of this device not to worry for its autonomy and use it in full.

Software components

Sony Xperia Z Ultra C6833, as expected, operates under the most popular software platform for mobile devices "Adroid". From the box on it was installed version 4.2. But this Japanese manufacturer is famous primarily for not forgetting about its customers. This is reflected in the fact that his mobile devices, even "not the first freshness", receive regular software updates. At the moment, the software of this phablet can be updated to a very fresh version 5.1. Thus, there will not be any problems with the launch of programs in this case.

The opinions of users and the cost of a communicator

According to reviews, the first obvious drawback in this case is the autonomy of the phabet. Eliminate this disadvantage by purchasing an external battery for Sony Xperia Z Ultra. Price - the second minus of this device. At the start of sales, it was 600 dollars. But it can not cost an extra-class gadget cheap. The last stock of this smartphone was available for sale in October 2015, and then it could already be purchased for $ 330. Now new devices of this model can not be purchased. But second-hand such a phablet without any problems can be bought on most commercial Internet sites. At the same time its cost is in the range from 200 to 300 dollars.

Another significant disadvantage of this "smart" phone is the case materials. More precisely - the front panel, which is broken at the slightest drop. The only way to solve this problem is a reliable cover, which would ensure the safety of all components of the device. But the pros in this gadget are: powerful hardware, a fresh software component, an excellent display and flawless cameras.

Results

If we sum up, then we can safely say that the next flawless smartphone from the legendary Japanese manufacturer was Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The characteristic of its software and hardware components proves this once again.
