Sony Xperia Z Ultra was launched by Sony sometime back before the IFA and it was Sony’s first phablet with a gigantic screen that was just millimeters away from being a tablet. Sony Xperia Z Ultra was the first smart device(we will try to avoid the term “phone”) to run on Snapdragon 800 and it sported a huge 6.44inch Full HD display. Xperia Z Ultra was a Galaxy Note competitor with a huge screen, but no in-built stylus. Sony announced that any pointed input item like a pencil could be used to write on the display instead of a single restricted stylus.

Today, we will be bringing you the comparison of Sony Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra. Both the phones share the same beast of a processor – Snapdragon 800, similar design language, almost identical software features and are water/dust resistant, but are still vastly different. Lets dive right into the differences. You can check out our quick hands-on comparison video right below.

The colour seems to be the cool Vivid Blue, that the HTC One was recently released in.
