The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a fantastic tablet smartphone phablet. Beautiful in design and rich in power. As a recap, the Android-powered phablet offers a monstrous 6.4-inch display with a 1080p resolution on Qualcomm’s latest 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800, with 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, and 4G LTE connectivity. In fact, the unit is regarded highly enough that Google recently launched their own version, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra Google Play Edition which is spec for spec the same as the original, minus any custom software that Sony offers on the Android unit. Seeing how big the unit is, Sony has decided to offer it with a Wi-Fi only option, making it a true tablet.

The Sony Xperia Z Ultra Wi-Fi only edition is in every way the same as the original model that launched a few months back, minus the cellular chip inside. Instead, would-be owners should treat it as a tablet that requires Wi-Fi. Seeing how the unit was basically a small tablet already, it’s a smart move on Sony’s end to offer the model in two variations and accommodate those who want a giant phone while also filling in the company’s tablet expansion with little required capital. As it stands, this offer is for Japan only but if we hear anything else, we’ll be sure to let you know.
