I don't need the minutes, but like you, I'm with Orange and I end up paying less, for more, and I get a new Xperia into the bargain. Win-win, I call it!
Mind you, I'm drumming my fingers on the table waiting for it ....

It should be a fake.
Android 2.4?We will only have a unified version called Ice cream sandwich.
2.5GHZ dual core?which company has such CPU to provide?
64GB?Iphone?
cheers,

He could've at least made it appear to be more real...
It's such a blatant fake.
Despite the ridiculous specs and the fact tat its a concept, loving the design.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
WHEN IT WILL be launched?
Please post this as a fan concept and NOT as a new SE phone (which it isn't). It also has the name of the artist on the upper left hand corner.
As neat as all that is, the thing would have to be a brick.
10x optical zoom? the SD4500 is the thinnest cam I know of with that kind of zoom and it's 0.88" thick. and add to that a 2000 mAh battery?
We might as well just say that it's a hex core processor with an Nvidia fermi. Used by NASA to launch future satellites and 512 gigs of memory.
This is surely a concept phone. I don't think mobile technology has evolved to that extent yet.
Nice Concept, but bad Photoshopped !
Cam Flash on the Cam :S
and 10X optical Zoom ? LOL
Yes i think the OP needs to put concept in the title, its a bit misleading, but i think mayb in a year or 2 this sort of tech will be implementable, expecially the 2.5GHz dualcore processor, android OS version will be i have no idea lol a weird name mayb
So fake. Look at that massively fake lens! LoL
The design is very Sony Ericsson though, props to whoever designed it.
I think SE should start rolling out new Cybershot phones..
Or atleast a Satio android phone.. I REALLY want to see a phone that has manual settings..
if that phone exist i think the battery must be the ones terminator used.
If this gets released, I don't care about how fat it is. It is for SURE my NEXT phone ! Let's hope they will produce it.
+1 "PlayGunsta "
me too......will buy this phone if with same spec.....(dont care of Android version since XDA rocks...) also processor will be dual core so ...would be my next phone..........
yeah pretty sure is a fake one!
SE won't release something like this they obsessed with making their phones thinner!
maybe when samsung realeases a quad core sony will do a dual core! but not now
i am changing to samsung soon!
Even Qualcomm Dev phones aren't as fast that yet.

Are you satisfied with your Z Ultra?

I'd really like to have one, but there are a couple of issues: The screen...if I bought a used one, for example, can I get the warranty honored? Secondly, the SOD: Has it been solved?

I'm very happy with my two (one as a incar GPS/test box). Good luck on warranty on a used one, Sony here in NZ didn't want to know for my second one (I brought it broken), although they are a gray import here.
The sleep of death was solved a long time ago on one of the 4.2 updates. There is 4.4.4 kicking around noe.
Yes, i am very satisfied with Z Ultra. Nope the chances for me to go back to small screen is very much gone... Unless no Z2 Ultra in the future.
But as of now, Z Ultra is really great. never got satisfied more than this. Battery Life might need to be better but 5 hour real time screen time average is very respectable for such screen size and power engine
Short answer: Yes. Very. I'll probably stick with it for another year (have had mine for around 10 months now).
horribly glitchy, unpredictable, can't depend on it, countless small little annoyances everywhere
but every android phone is like that... at least this one has a huge screen and is rather fast so yeah i guess

YES, I AM
Except when I'm learning now how to create a custom recovery...
And I don't understand anything, I locked back my bootloader... Still rooted on stock .108
I'm trying to create a website dedicated for this C6833
To avoid any confusion between the Z1 and our Z Ultra
(even if they are pretty close the same)
(I'm recreating a new account on XDA because I forgot my old one, and those 10 posts minimum gets me very angry)
I am very happy with my C6802 almost 11 months after getting it (bought it early August last year). It is still unsurpassed and despite about three weeks before root was possible (vRoot unfortunately), the arrival of GPe got things going.
It is the best phablet made to this date; I don't consider any other device close beside the Oppo Find 7. The only thing I am worried about is the lack of any successor rumor or even information about upcoming devices in the same category. The only competitors I know about right now is the Oppo N1 and Huawei Ascend Mate 2, both with weaker hardware.
My requirements for a new device is Snapdragon 810/815, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage, 6.5-7 inch screen, keyboard cover as an option, camera not important (have the QX10 for that), microSDXC slot and... either Google vanilla/Android Silver or CM-based. Sony implementation is OK.
I guess next year will bring those things to the table but it would be great with some decent phablets this fall since it would indicate that the segment is alive and well. Right now, the Ultra is in a class of its own and any other device means compromising on the core: a solution that is a true tablet replacement with great software.
Edit: The GPe ROM paired with Xposed Framework and optimized Dalvik libraries (compensating for the ART/Xposed issue) make the Ultra a completely superior phablet. I have tried the Note 3 (which is hyped as being such a great device) several times and it is far, far behind the Ultra in every aspect besides the camera. The best features of it such as multiwindow is available on the Ultra through Xposed and it works great.

[Q] Xperia Z Ultra Contender

Hey Everyone ... since apparently we wont be recieving any upgrade soon for the Zultra ... whats the next phone you'd suggest ... i do realize that samsung is out of the deal with its plastic mess ... HTC one m8 sounds like a good deal ... tell me what you think!
Don't know if it worth upgrading... a few more Hz and some RAM

Rumor has it that Motorola and Google might release a 5.9in Nexus code name "shamu". I am waiting to see if that is the case. About .5 inches too small IMHO, but might be something to look into if true.
What do u think about Lg G pro 2 ?

I'm afraid that we have no better choice for the replacement. So for me just hoping that this ultra's battery can last as long as possible and whenever it doesn't hold any more charge, hopefully Sony still have the sparepart. Or you know, xperia z2 with modded 400 ppi would be nice.
Lenovo? Yeah right, like you don't need any Android update at all.

The lenovo has no microsd-slot
I think the lenovo is the only real alternative. Everything else is of lower spec. But having said that the present ultra doesn't really need to be upgraded imo. Specs are plenty good enough to run everything I throw at it and never really feel lags as such. So why waste the money?! But then again even I can't help myself but have a change

old news, it was all over the camera news sites last month and posted here

[Poll] Will you buy the Note 7 when it goes on sale

Who and another did not preorder a Galaxy Note 7 ? Do you still consider buying Samsung’s latest phablet ? Samsung Galaxy S8 is nearly half a year away accrording to this report
Would you wait for the Galaxy S8 or S8 edge, or would you buy a non-Samsung smartphone this year instead?
I was all set to buy a Note 7 on release day in the UK. I didn't pre-order as my contract wasn't due for renewal until the day after release. Obviously it's now looking like late October/early November before they will be widely available.
At the moment I'm waiting to see what Google bring to the table with the Pixel XL before deciding. They launch that on 4th October.
S8 Edge is an option but despite the crazy rumours I suspect it will be little different to the S7.
Answer is yes; question is when.
Samsung Galaxy S8 display rumored to carry 4K resolution and support for VR.
yes if price reduced
surely i will buy it but price should be reduced to at least 30-40 %
yes, I want another one!
Do you guys know that Samsung Galaxy retains No.1 spot in brand value despite recall, a local brand research company said Monday.

Here are the 5 reasons to buy note 7
It's the prettiest phone Samsung has ever made
It's one of the best smartphone cameras
It's the most stylus-friendly Android device
It has more bells and whistles than other flagships
It's better than the Galaxy S7
Yep... ive already gotten mine. Works great and have not had any issues whatsoever!
I actually managed to get mine last week wed. I am not sure why I was allowed to have it But I love it.

You mean on android too with MiFit > 3.2 ?
Or on iOS?
On their Weibo they posted that there will be two editions: Premium and Standard.
Can it be that the Xiaomi amazfit pace 2 has already been released ?
https://www.nextbuying.com/xiaomi-amazfit-pace-2-sports-smartwatch-50m-waterproof-p000598.html
That pic is probably the original Amazfit, used as a placeholder, because they don't have the pic of Amazfit 2.
Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
Will it be at least a bit smaller? From all the pics I saw v1 was a big one, it stays funny for people with smaller arms...
Can it be, judging by boot animation, that we could expect some non-sport features . I know gaind lot of users with great sports features, but sometimes I wish it could have some simple sunrise/sunset , moon phase, world clock, and likewise features on one watchface!
