Sony might have got their intentions right to produce a phablet to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 but the execution has been disappointing. Instead of creating something high-end, the newly released Xperia Z2 Ultra turned out to be a mid-tier smartphone.
The biggest let down is with the Z2 Ultra’s size. With a huge screen that measures at 6.4”, it leaves the masses wondering to why the company don’t just create a tablet instead. 6.4” for a smartphone is just too huge.
The huge display brings with it plenty of other problems. The biggest of them all is with the device’s battery. To power up that huge display on the Z2 Ultra, a lot of power is needed. Even with the 3050mAh battery and Sony’s STAMINA mode, it is still not enough to sustain the Z2 Ultra for long hours of usage.
Finally is the confusion that is probably faced by Sony as well. The company just created a smartphone but encourages users to utilize the Smart Bluetooth Headset. Could the manufacturer felt that it is embarrassing to answer phone calls on the huge device without a headset?
All in all, the Sony Xperia Z2 Ultra is a giant disappointment. The only thing that the phablet is good at is being a joke. Go back to your drawing boards Sony. Clearly you were drunk.
