Hardware zone.sg reported phone will be available for sale in Spore in July. Based on a guy who is now at Shanghai attending the launch

Lol. But for a wireless headset, that's damn big oso

Just cut out the exact measurement to compare with my current Z. Haha! More tempted now! and... YES! It can fit in my working pants.

not necessary the bigger, the more expensive.  Else the LTE Xperia Tablet Z will be RM3k if calculate like that.  Note II is just RM100 more than S3 when launched.  So maybe this will be just RM100-200 more than the Xperia Z.  This is not a mainstream phone coz not all ppl can accept such a beast. 

can't agree more.  Kinda disappointed with the camera and ram, internal memory of 16Gb also kinda little.  Is additional 16GB to make it 32GB really that more costlier? 

will grab the 32GB Xperia Tablet Z first before i lay my hand on this.  Xperia Ultra + Xperia Tablet Z kinda too over the top.  Maybe just keep my Note II and do the Note II + Xperia Tablet Z combo. 

I will grab Tablet Z also, hehe.

As for this Z Ultra, need see real thing 1st, maybe I skip if Honami damn great!

Isn't One Max the phablet?

Try out the Xperia Z at Sony Centre but cannot accept the "small" screen.  At normal distance (about 25-30cm from the screen, my eyes can't really tell the difference of the screen PPI.  If view at 2 inches distance, then can see the Xperia Z FHD screen still looks crisp and smooth but it is not my normal viewing distance.

Hopefully the yet another Honami will give us some top of range specs - 13mp Exemor R cam, 3GB ram, 32GB internal memory, S800, 3,500mAh battery and water-proof.  5" screen is kinda small, wish for a 5.5-6 inches screen though.

HTC is still in my blacklist, no more HTC for me after Desire HD.

looks like it is 5.x device, bingo!!! better match than Ultra to Note II. 

like me i have already moved on to android but until today i still cant let go of my Nokia King of camera phones. Am been hoping android release a phone camera that at least at par or better. Even HTC One claim their camera is so called ultrapixels its look worse than my Nokia N8

Example this pic until today i can never recapture such quality pic with any android phone

I definately will get this Sony Xperia Z ultra if Note 3 comes back a failure but sad i still need to keep my Nokia phones

Come on nokia n8 is like 3 years old already still no competition.

Anyway now waiting for Note 3 announcement will decide to get this or note 3.

Love the water proof feature.

I just molest Z Ultra this afternoon
2 words! Super awesome! The Sony staff told me will launch on August in Malaysia! Then Honami confirm launch on IFA event on Sept

whats the price?

Big bag or small bag? I mean the manbag kinda bag you know. Not messenger - more like a satchel. Looks gay.

Post pic of your bag! So can see if we can pull off the Ultra in this bag of yours.
I love you man. Seriously. I would have thought it would release in September. If it's after raya, the wait would be longer. I just hope someone would come up with the battery test soon. Here's hoping to the 800 being more batt efficient.

Give us some first impressions! How big are your hands compared to an average person; based on that, how well can you operate the phone single handed?
Bro, limited stock or limitless stock. If it's the latter then...yay! If it's the former...damn kau rush la for pre-order.
I heard that rumour too actually. Xperiablog is a pretty good place for all these news/rumours actually. TBH, I don't see a point in getting a refresh of the Z if the Honami is coming out. Makes the phone redundant. It's like buying a One X+ when the One has already been out for so long.

Speaking of the one, does Timeshift (the new cam feature) operate like Zoe? I want the Zoe feature in a Sony dammit!

Edit: Added some questions for jloi

I've a feeling that they're gonna bring in both LTE and 3G version. Hngh.

i think LTE only Sept / Oct only arrive here.

I prefer big screen.

I won't buy phone screen smaller than 4.7"

--------------------------------------------
Now the Sony Malaysia site never mention Z Ultra got LTE model, if end up Z Ultra no LTE, then sorry la Sony, I won't buy it.

Total 3 centers I call.

Result I get.

KL & iPoh getting the 1st batch.

2nd batch will coming to JB and Melaka on 1st or 2nd / August.

LTE version no idea............... I think I get the H+ version then.

After that just decide wanna sell off the H+ version or not when LTE landed since now I also cannot use LTE.

I do interesting to took over, but I can only did it in coming Tuesday (30/7/2013). Is that ok?
