Benchmark Test Reveals Power Of The Sony Xperia Z Ultra

The Sony Xperia Z remains one of the most popular Android smartphone models on the market, and among the most high profile releases of the year so far. While Sony is continuing to see success with its flagship device, the last few months have seen several rumours that the company is planning to release its first phablet smartphone.

With the ongoing success of devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in the phablet niche, Sony is expected to launch a new device called the Sony Xperia Z Ultra in the near future. It is expected that the device will be unveiled in Germany, at a launch event on the 25th of June. The phone is expected to include key features like a 6.44 inch touchscreen display, 2 GB of RAM, 8 megapixel camera, 3000mAh battery and Android Jellybean OS. The processor of choice for the handset is rumoured to be Qualcomm’s powerful new Snapdragon 800 chipset. This processor is also believed to be used and other upcoming phablets like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and HTC One Max. Contracts for the Sony XperiaZ can be compared here.

Phones Review has recently reported on a benchmark test carried out on the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The results revealed that it will indeed utilise a Snapdragon 800 processor. Impressively, the results also show that the device achieved a higher score than the Samsung Galaxy S4. In numerous previous benchmark tests, Samsung's flagship device has proven to be most powerful smartphone on the market, so we can expect the Sony Xperia Z Ultra to be a very powerful smartphone indeed.
