Quote:

"The Z2 Ultra, or however it ends up being called, will allegedly go a little smaller on screen real estate this time around, as it tries to more clearly set itself apart from conventional slates.

So we’re looking at a 6.2, maybe 6-incher, with Full or Quad HD resolution, possibly a souped-up battery (Z Ultra’s was pretty terrible), as well as water and dust protection. Any evidence to support all that? Just the word of a few insiders who’ve been right before.

It’s unclear though if the Z2 Ultra is indeed prepped for an MWC intro, as its predecessor is a measly six months old, but the good news is if Sony delays its launch, it might use the extra time to swap Z Ultra’s Snapdragon 800 SoC for an improved S805."

Any truth or just hot air?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Battery life is good, 6 hours screen on time sometimes

And if they do that just means no more support from Sony :(

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
waste of time. releasing it now wont improve performance enough!

At the best we'd get the same processor, bigger battery?? better camera...

My bet is that it will be released after a year of the Ultra being released. They certainly don't want to get apples reputation for releasing a new iPhone every quarter!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
Time will tell, I'm extremely interested in what happens with the camera & battery next as these will be Deciding factors regarding my next Sony purchase...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Screw that one! I want this one :p It looks like a "zero bezel" Sony device, and it looks like pure sex. It's probably fake though, but i'm allowed to dream ain't i? :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
nah, couldn't use a 0 bezel, us country bumpkins downunder have farmers hands - real hands
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jaime4272:
Well if sony decides to go smaller I'm no go. This is my wish. I would go to 6.5" smaller Bazel, better camera and battery and full throttle CPU and flash to use as flashlight and that is all I'm wishing.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Sony would not go anything lesser in terms of screen size for the successor as that will be meaningless.

We already have Z1 for the 5 incher, T2 Ultra for the 6 incher. Releasing Z1 Ultra in 6 inch will confuse the market.

Z Ultra family should remain in the 6.5" range to retain the existing market share of people who wants Ultra Screen.

That is the only reason I bought the Ultra, for the screen else, I would get the Z1 instead.

For speculation, I would want a Z1 Ultra to be 6.5", Snapdragon 805, 13MP camera (20MP would be nicer), 3GB Ram.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
apple? i think you meant samsung. lol ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ps000000:
Why they dont bring great camera to Z2 Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
1stly the thickness don't permit a great camera

2ndly if they put a great camera into the Z Ultra then, it might affect the sales of Z1.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
exactly!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mathurmatt:
Right on the money........
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Seems like the S4 and Note 3 beating each other previous year because of all the more-or-less same feature set. But even if you equipped the Z2 Ultra with the old 13MP sensor of Xperia Z ones that would not eat Z1 market share i guess.. an extra 0.5mm of thickness with extra 500mAh and 13MP + flash + slightly smaller screen at 6.2 inch will be the best bet for the Z2 Ultra.

The law at Sony's design is always this:

Bigger screen, thinner it is, Smaller Screen, thicker it is. All that to improve the in-hand impression of the handset, so if Sony really goes down into 6.2 inch, i won't complain, because lets face it, 6.4inch already 100% fit into any pocket due to passport width reference. So the only way is down (plus the news of the new 2K screen at 6.2inch) but make it slightly thicker. if Sony wants to improve it into, let say, 6.6 inch in the same dimension of the Z Ultra, i'd imagine many things need to be shuffled like how the G2 was designed, with back buttons, thus breaking the omni balance design and losing the waterproof feature.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
Exactly, however since the Ultra have already built a pool of users, it wouldn't hurt to include even a 20MP into the next successor.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
If it gets smaller I won't buy it; I have no interest in a smaller screen after using this for as long as I have.

I'd like for them to make it thicker (So they can do the rest of this), and invest in a bigger battery, more internal storage (16GB on a media device like a phablet is absurd), put an LED light in the thing, and do a routine Screen/Processor update, such as the next Snapdragon iteration (The thing AFTER the current S805's that aren't being used yet but are complete), and making the bezels small enough to accomodate a full 6.5" screen.

If I were to get my absolute dream device, it would be all that, but it uses an actual SD card reader rather than a Micro; I find myself butting heads with 64GB now, but I wouldn't have that problem with 128GB (Or more deliciously those 256GB SD cards out there). Besides that, the incremental upgrades are all I really want.

And for that next device, I'd want them to create a cheaper case with their quality with a bigger battery but less overall size to it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I personally don't want it to get any thicker. The only reason i tolerate its current size is because of its thinness. Also, they can make it smaller without shrinking the screen. There's quite a bit of bezel on the top and bottom of the Ultra.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Shadow of Chaos:
I'm still of the opinion that the thing is a little too thin for completely comfortable use; Not much so, since any case at all alleviates this, but it's noticeable. I'm not saying double the thickness or anything, but a little thicker so it's more comfortable to hold would be nice. Mostly, though, I just want them to increase the thickness so they CAN remove the bezels; I'm fairly confident that the only reason the bezels are there is because Sony wanted the claim of being the thinnest.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stiggy2012:
It's all good with me, as I'll most-likely miss this upgrade and go for the next one anyway, but my wish list would be:

MUCH smaller bezels. They could take 3CM of the height of this thing with no detriment to screen size, just by killing the bezels at the top/bottom.

A53/A57 SoC - The phone is fast enough really, but why not eh? I want to be able to mine at 100KH/s on my phone. :D

Same screen. Literally, the exact same one would be just fine with me.

That's it really. This is the best phone I've ever owned, but I must admit having used/owned it for months now it is a bit too tall. I can't lift my knees above hip-height with it in my pocket or it stabs me in the groin!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Stu|:
This is my thoughts exactly. I can't imagine using a smaller screen phone after getting used to this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JunBringer:
Yeah I'd at least like a bump in internal storage. Best case scenario they'd sell it with the option for 64GB or more built in and like dude said have a slot for a real SD card, full size. Sort of a pipe dream though these days. I'd be cool with a QHD screen too :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jhong2:
Due to the screen size, I already get enough "phantom taps" on my z ultra due to moisture, dirt, etc. Bezel-free would just make it much worse IMO. Sure, latest Android has palm detection, but it would surely still be better with space for my fingers.

TBH I don't get the fascination of bezel-free phones and (even sillier) transparent screens in product concepts. IMO they're a by-product of people still impressed by glass and flat panels thinking they are "futuristic". In real life they would detract from usability.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jaime4272:
well may be not bezel free but on the top and bottom there is too much and if they make another one and I hope they do. they should make it to 6.5'' or shrink the phone by reducing the top and bottom bezel and improve everything else
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hpka:
Also agree that a signficant knock on the screen size will hurt the likelihood of me buying the phone. the 6.5in screen can maybe drop to 6.3in before I start to reconsider...

Also, a camera that has a flash of some kind and at least on par with, say, a Galaxy S3, is the other thing that I've been waiting/wanting for. That last part is to say that it doesn't necessarily have to match the Z1, just be a good camera in it's own right. It's what's been holding me back from the Z Ultra I would say (I'm aware of the iblazr).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] joluke:
My ideal Z2 Ultra:

Smaller bezels, 805 snapdragon CPU, 3Gb of ram, 32Gb of internal memory, same camera or improved one and the same screen size.. that's basically it :)

Got a Note 3 and a XPeria Z Ultra. Love'em

The Z ultra for games and movies... AWESOME! :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jhong2:
Yeah, I guess there is a bit of space for that :cowboy:. Poor Sony engineers -- I remember hearing stories about them having final products dunked in water. If bubbles came out, there was too much air and hence more scope for miniaturization, so they were forced to go back to the drawing board.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thekingisnaked:
Kiro there you go

Well they can optimize the 8 mp camera, at the end iphone 5S uses the sensor made by Sony. 2 tone flash will be nice or an adjustable flash. The one where you can change its color. 6.44 inch is the best screen. Make it glove friendly cause in winter time its damn hard to use the phone. Quad HD screen would be a delighter. A little battery bump would be welcome. Thickness must be 6 mm. Thats what i love about this beast. When you put it on table it just look crazy ? and please put a camera shutter button. And finally speakers must be on par with Z2. When you look at it this phone wont affect the sales of Z2 nor Z1 in anyways since its completely in a different category. It should be Z2 ultra not z1. Kiro Hazai please read this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PhilipTD:
Any idea when the "Z 2 Ultra" (or whatever it will be called) will be released? If there's no chance it will be within a couple of months, I plan on getting the current one.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
My guess is at the end of June, one year after Sony introduced the Ultra (it was June 25 2013).

In order to be really interesting, they should implement something like this:

1. Slightly bigger screen (6.5-6.6 inches)

2. Snapdragon 805

3. 3 GB RAM

4. 32 or 64 GB internal storage

5. Upgraded camera with flash (8 MP is OK though)

To me, the most important part of a Z2 Ultra would be a larger screen, Snapdragon 805, 3 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage. The camera is not that important because of the DSC-QX10/100 IMHO.

One thing that would be a dealbreaker to me is if they release a Z2 Ultra with a smaller screen. I don't want anything smaller than 6.44 inches.:laugh:

Despite upgrades like those, I am entertaining the idea of keeping my existing Ultra until the Z3 Ultra is released. One simple reason for that: Snapdragon 810.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
And they'll probably take cues from the Z2 and shave the bezels down a fair bit, so they'll probably keep the screen size to 6.44", but the phone itself will be a little smaller, which is a welcome change. I guess they'll also keep its thinness like today since they can't go any thinner without doing something strange with the mini jack.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pemell:
That would be great @ Same screen size but smaller phone
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aalupatti:
I agree. The screen size is pretty good cutting down the bezel should decrease the length too..

Hopefully they can jam in some more juice to a smaller battery...

One thing I really love to see is wireless charging but dont think its coming yet.. None of the sony devices have it so far...

Come on June/.....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
I would be quite happy with the form factor of the XZU to stay the same on the XZU2 if they

* added flash - there's lots of room

* fitted good stereo front facing speakers

* fixed the false touch detection

* improved visibility in daylight

* used oleophobic screen layer

Yes, the top and bottom bezels are big but you can hold the phablet with them.

It'd be nice if Sony added Qi charging, but not at the expense of the magnetic charge port, I love being to able to quickly connect charger in the car even on shorter journeys, when I wouldn't connect the usb to avoid wearing out the connector.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Johnmcl7:
I like just about everything with the Z Ultra, it's just the terrible camera and lack of flash which are a frustration. I didn't think the camera would be that bad but I find it's not even a patch on the old Note 1 camera, I have plenty of dedicated cameras but the Z Ultra has made me appreciate how much I use the camera on my phone.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jammol:
Antyping bigger than z ultra is just retarded.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PhilipTD:
I wonder if it's not a fake. Would Sony really use "the next big thing" as a slogan? Plus, the graphics and design of the image are low quality.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] joulukas:
I see constant "dreams" about next Beast, but to my eyes, they seem kinda low. Basically what people "want" is that next high end device, that uses last unveiled pieces of hardware - which is defentely boring dream.

I hope that Sony takes some time and rethinks Ultras essence, and doesnt deliver just big screen phone, but puts some effort in to thinking what phablet is and what people use it for. When I was geting new phone,I was thinking either Note 3 or Ultra, I liked the looks and feel of Ultra, but honestly I lack the rafined phablet, that samsung has turned note in to.

Secondly my dream is, that next Ultra has better conversion to other devices. Why stop at phone to tablet, why not phone to tablet to laptop to desktop to mediacenter and so on. I would ditch my worklaptop and kept only Ultra, if i had decent accessories and thought through conversion.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
It turned out to be an Xperia T3.

Can someone who knows about eq settings help me out? I need help with setting the perfect eq settings; I listen to edm (house, dubstep, electro, etc) so whats the best eq settings for it? A picture of your eq settings would help too. I have V Moda Crossfade LP 2 Headphones as well if headphone type counts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrmellies:
Everyones will be different. Each person has a different way of hearing things. To some there might be too much treble. For some too much bass. Others the vocals might be distorted. Best bet is to trial an error. Until you know how YOU like your music heard then you can set presets or tweek the sound to your best liking.

As requested. My setup, listening to nine inch nails greatest hit song Bite the hand that feeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zin0:
Thats not bad, it really raises the treble but the bass is kinda buried underneath it. If i could have it "pop" out more without it being distorted then that would be ideal. I'm trying to mix the eq settings to my liking but i just wanted a general guideline on how to set it up for edm.

for hard reset after you press both cam and comm button press soft reset the trick is dont release bot cam and comm bottons untill it prompts. finally press green button.

Hey guys - over the years I've noticed that if I want an Android answer, XDA PROVIDES!

So here goes:

I've got my new sexy Nexus 5 (RIP Nexus 4, my bad bro) and I love face unlock. it really really really works well now... last time I used it was like on my galaxy nexus way back, and it wouldn't recognize me 90% of the time.

So anyways, I'm looking for an app (like Tasker?) that:

- doesn't need ROOT (company policy, our email stops working if it detects an unlocked bootloader or SuperSU)

- has widgets

- can switch between face unlock and swipe to unlock with a single push (not having to re-take pictures of my beautiful mug)

Any ideas?

(the scenario is simple: outside of my home WIFI, I want face unlock. While on my home WIFI, remove all security... hell, I'm home!)
