It is considered that Sony will not only bet on its flagship of the Xperia family, but will also make the leap to a large screen format with a Xperia Z2 UltraPossible technical specifications have appeared that point to a large version of the current top of the range, the Xperia Z2, following the philosophy of the successful Xperia Z Ultra.
According to these leaks, the Xperia Z2 Ultra would mount a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 (Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 GPU). Compared to the Snapdragon 800 in the Xperia Z Ultra, the differences in everyday use are barely noticeable, but the 801 offers improvements in power management and frequencies. In addition, it would be accompanied by 3 GB of RAM, a figure that provides room for intense multitasking and that, in the medium term, is more decisive that a slight CPU jump. The internal memory would be 16 GB, expandable by microSD (in line with the brand, with raised card holder, as we have already seen in other Xperia).
Large format display and imaging technologies
El Protagonism of the Xperia Z2 Ultra would be on your panel 6,44 inches. The resolution has not been confirmed (it could be Full HD or take the leap to QHD), although due to size, a higher density brings advantages in fine reading and multimedia detail. Sony usually integrates its technologies Triluminos y X-Reality for mobile phones, seen on the Xperia Z Ultra and which provide true colors, top viewing angles and frame-by-frame video optimization.
Processor, memory and expected performance
With the Snapdragon 801 y 3 GB of RAM, we can expect a smooth experience in demanding games and apps, on par with the best. In the Xperia Z Ultra (Snapdragon 800 and 2 GB of RAM) we already saw benchmark figures such as AnTuTu ~31.860, Quadrant ~17.519 y 3DMark ~16.388, so the Z2 Ultra should match or exceed These results are accompanied by improvements in thermal efficiency. Adreno GPU 330 maintains excellent performance in 3D, 4K video and UI.
Cameras and video
Another key section would be its main camera. 20,7 megapixels, the flagship sensor of the house, with recording in 4K. In front of the 8 MP Exmor RS Of the Xperia Z Ultra, the jump in resolution and processing should translate into better Dynamic range, higher level of detail and more resources in low light, as we saw in low light tests. Expected LED flash and a front camera of 2 SM capable of video 1080p, enough for clear video calls.
Design, strength and construction
The Xperia Z family stands out for its finish in Cristal with frame in metal and symmetrical OmniBalance lines. The Z2 Ultra would inherit the dust and water resistance certifications IP55 / IP58, keeping better sealed gates for key ports and the 3,5 mm jack without plug (without losing watertightness, as is already the case with previous models). The Xperia Z Ultra set benchmarks with 6,5 mm of thickness, 179,4 x 92,2 mm y 212 g; the Z2 Ultra should move along those lines to offer a device very thin despite its diagonal.
Connectivity, audio and extras
In connectivity, they would be present LTE Cat.4 (up to 150 Mbps), 802.11 WiFi a / b / g / n / ac with dual band and WiFi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, NFC for one-touch, GPS with A-GPS and GLONASS, and microUSB with MHL and OTG. Sony usually takes care of the audio with ClearAudio + y xLoud, as can be seen in the Xperia Z2 speakers, in addition to microphone Noise Cancellation. Integration with your ecosystem (speakers, Bravia TVs, headphones, SmartWatch) via NFC would make screen sharing and mirroring very easy.
Battery and autonomy
The balance between thickness and capacity suggests a battery of 3.050-3.200mAh, similar to Sony Xperia Z2 batteryThe Xperia Z Ultra already offered 3.050 mAh and competent autonomy in mixed uses, enhanced by the Stamina mode, which manages background processes to extend sleep time. With the Snapdragon 801 and Sony's optimizations, the Z2 Ultra should improve screen times without compromising the ultra-thin design.
Software and experience
In software, we can expect Android in its version KitKat as a base with the Sony layer, light and recognizable. It would include proprietary apps such as Album, Walkman/Music, Movies, Xperia Lounge (promos and content) and LifeLog to quantify activity with your SmartBand. Support for is also common Topics and visual customization, maintaining an experience close to Android with useful extras.
Differences between the Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z2
To contextualize The above, these would be the main points of contrast if the Z2 Ultra maintains the expected strategy:
- Unlimited: Z Ultra (Snapdragon 800, 2 GB RAM) vs. Z2 Ultra (Snapdragon 801, 3 GB RAM). Improved multitasking and efficiency.
- Screen: same diagonal 6,44" and technologies Triluminos/X-Reality; possible jump to higher density.
- Cameras: Of 8 SM in Z Ultra a 20,7 SM to 4K on Z2 Ultra; front 2 MP 1080p.
- Battery: around 3.050-3.200mAh to Stamina mode.
- Connectivity: maintenance of LTE, WiFi ac, NFC, MHL/OTG and advanced multimedia profile.
As usual with the brand, the Xperia Z2 Ultra should be presented at a product event or a reference fair such as IFA, reinforcing the commitment to large formats. If you're looking for a huge screen, water resistance, a high-end camera, and stable performance, this offering fits into a niche that values ​​productivity and entertainment without sacrificing premium design.
