What is the point of these stupid phablets? An Xperia Z/ Galaxy SIV/ is already too big.

Pricing for this will be aggressive just like the Z. MRP would be less than what HTC One is selling for at Flipkart right now. ;)

And street price will be sub 40k

I suggest you go through my previous posts or just go through Xperia 2013 thread in Mobile & Tablets section before disagreeing with me :)

Jumping from Xperia 2013 thread:

You said 2k screen ?? :-? :-(
Yes that plan was scrapped due to unavailability of 2K panels at this point in sufficient quantity

I think I did make a post few weeks back where I mentioned it will have a 1080p panel and not 2k.

Thats really sad.. Will there be a limited edition Xperia Z Ultra 'Super' with 2k display? :p

BTW can XZU capture '4k*2k UHD video'?

randomuser111, now that XZU is released can you post some camera image samples??
Sensor is the same size you promised right?

Camera is a 2/3" 13 megapixel one with Xenon Flash. That is bigger than ALL Sony cybershot cameras except RX100. ;)
Why wasn't the 5" flagship launched along with this??

Noooooooooo, that was for the 5" Flagship Honami. Togari has similar camera as Xperia Tablet Z/Xperia SP.

No 2K screen limited edition :p. Will be on the 2014 flagship.

No 4K capture, the sensor doesn't support 4k recording.

^:duh2: I mixed it up.. XZU doesn't even have a LED flash.. Sensor sizes: XZU (1/4" vs 1/3") XZ ! Why Sony Why???

When is 5" Flagship Honami officially releasing?

I don't get it, a 6.8" screen having only 343 pixel density whereas 5" screen of Xperia Z boasts of having 441 pixel density (Source: GSM Arena specs). The h/w is good but a really inferior display.

Camera is also 8MP and few have reported that the model seems to be lacking a flash.

why to spend 50k + for this, instead one can get a good lappy... I am not getting point of having these phablets.. stupid manufacturers & consumers... 4.5" - 4.7" is the sweet point.. 4.3" also good.
world gone mad... :pullhair:

Jesus !!!

This is just like before Xperia L and SP launch where some members were arguing with me that there is no chance L will be below 20k and SP below 30k.

Facepalm worthy :p

Still it will not gonna launch below 48k for sure. Too expensive. Why to spend so much on a phablet?? It will get outdated in just 6 months. Stupid sony.

why doesn't it cost above Rs. 1 Lac...
these 'smartphones' are priced way above ... its as if mobile phone is becoming a luxury again. one doesn't find impressive non-touchscreen phones now. The Q10 is again way pricey. Also, that these too much expensive portable machines are no-comparison to a desktop at almost half the price (some disagreements :p). Everyday a new smartphone is being launched.... when will this madness come to terms ??
