Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Hands On Review and First Look: The 'Big' Xperia That Targets the Mid-Range

Sony Xperia Z2: Processor, Software and Battery

The T2 Ultra comes bearing the Triluminos technology and Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 which is basically Sony's way of adding as bit more to the overall experience. The device also comes with a 720p IPS LCD display, alongside a certain glove mode which offers more in terms of sensitivity.

While the device comes running the Android Jelly Bean OS version 4.3, it is still basically a skinned version of the Android. However, if you were expecting a bit more out of the software, know that the device is also planned for a potential KitKat update.

The T2 Ultra offers users as many as six home screens that are customizable. Apart from that, another feature that might help you'll operate the device using a single hand and is expected to be a crowd favorite is when you double-tap the Home button, the notification slider will drop down and all the shortcuts will be moved to the bottom.

Also, hitting the Recents key will bring up a 'favorites bar' which will then let you place Sony's "small apps" which are basically movable widgets that tend to utilize the screen space.

Under the hood, the T2 Ultra offers a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core SoC clocked at 1.4Ghz, with Adreno 305 graphics. And although they say they will offer you 8GB of internal storage with the device, only 4.68GB is available to users.

However, you can increase the storage of the device up to 32GB using a microSD card. Apart from that, Sony is also offering 50GB of free Box storage for life, provided you register before December 31, 2014. Although you will not find the Box app preloaded on to the device.

Apart from that, the device's battery life is quite impressive. Sony is offering its Z Ultra-similar 3000 mAh battery.

Sony Xperia T2 Ultra: Camera

The T2 Ultra comes with a primary 13MP snapper that, as expected from a Sony Xperia-based device, maintains Sony's tradition of offering great camera sensors.

The camera is a decent offering as far as great looking stills and videos are concerned. However, if you zoom in more then it can be a bit of problem since the device takes bit of time detecting the surface. But, as always, the camera interface remains the same and easy to use.

Also, low light shots could tend to be a bit of a bummer since it doesn't really reflect Sony's original capabilities. However, the front camera is not really up to the mark and might need a lot of tending and editing before you can actually post a selfie that you clicked with the front cam.

Video recording also offers 1080p resolution for the rear shooter while offering 720p for the front.

Sony Xperia T2 Ultra: Final Words

The T2 Ultra may not be the greatest Sony Xperia device that was ever released, but it surely gets the job done. It's actually a great all-round device that will offer you an impressive look and die-hard battery.

Yes. It surely will face a lot of competition from a lot of different names out there in the market, but if given the required time and popularity, the device can easily be a great buy for anyone looking to own a 6-inch device.
