Sony Xperia Z against Ultra Galaxy Note 2: screen, processor, and ... - International Business Times Italy

Into Sony Xperia Z Ultra is the new contender in the scene of “phablet”, those devices halfway between the portability of a smartphone and the large diagonal screen size of a tablet. The new Japanese terminal is proposed as a substantial offer: quad-core processor and 6.4-inch screen are the two main features with which Sony intends to fight the fierce battle. The opponent? Galaxy Note 2 ( Samsung ) is the device to beat in the commercial field.

Into Let’s see then in a quick comparison of technical specifications:

DIMENSIONS:

Into Ultra Xperia Z – 179 mm x 92 mm x 6.5 mm, 212 g
Galaxy Note 2-151 mm x 9.4 mm x 8.1 mm, 180 g

SCREEN:

Into Xperia Z Ultra – 6.4 inch Full HD (1920 x 1080), 344 ppi
Galaxy Note 2 to 5.5-inch HD (1280 x 720), 267 ppi

Into Here the main difference: the display of the proposal Sony is almost an inch wider, has a resolution and a pixel density better. Two respects. In fact, if the screen is objectively better in terms of quality, the 6.4-inch size may still be an overkill for what is proposed as an alternative to the smartphone. In this sense, Samsung could still be the most decent compromise, but who knows if Galaxy Note 3 does not amaze us (there are rumors of a diagonal between 5.7 and 5.99 inches) .

PROCESSOR:

Into Ultra Xperia Z – Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, quad-core, 2.2 GHz
Galaxy Note 2 – Samsung Exynos 4412, quad-core, 1.6 GHz

Into little to say. Snapdragon 800 is among the best quad-core on the market. In defense of Notes 2 it can be said that the offering of Samsung is on the market for almost a year and it is normal that does not propose the latest chip.

RAM:

Into Ultra Xperia Z – 2 GB
Galaxy Note 2 – 2 GB

BATTERY:

CAMERAS:

Into Xperia Z Ultra – 8 megapixel (rear), 2-megapixel (front)
Galaxy Note 2 – 8 megapixel (rear), 1.9 megapixel (front)

EXTRA:

Into Ultra Xperia Z – Resistant to water and dust (certified IP55/IP58), touch screen can also be used with pens and pencils, LTE connectivity
Galaxy Note 2 – S-Pen included, LTE connectivity

Into Final result? Xperia Z Ultra is a proposal on paper, the better: Full HD touch screen, more powerful processor, you could use a makeshift stylus (pen or pencil) and resistance to water and dust make it a very interesting terminal. Galaxy Note 2 on the other hand remains an offer, in the light of the presence on the market for about a year, more advantageous, considering the price lower, between 399 and 489 Euros, which is sold now.

The real challenge will be with Galaxy Note 3 , a device that Samsung should submit between August and September, according to rumors about. The final decision, however, lies with the subjective needs of each user: the larger screen or not?
