Excellent camera

Even so , Xperia Z Ultra can still be used to take pictures . The camera has an 8 megapixel sensor , with a fairly complete set-up options in the camera app , includes exposure compensation , ISO , white balance , metering , and much more .
The picture is fairly normal , if it was not good enough for the size of a modern smartphone . The photos in ideal light conditions at a glance looks beautiful .

There are artifacts in the form of small boxes that may arise due to JPEG compression and noise reduction .
In indoor conditions ( indoor ) , image quality catches Xperia Z Ultra declining rapidly . Aggressive noise reduction that makes the photo look like a watercolor painting . The colors displayed looks a little pale . Without flash , the user is forced to rely entirely on the ability of low-light camera that is not too reliable .

Helpful and good conclusion

Sony Xperia Z Ultra wide design to fit the size of a passport . The goal is that this phone can still fit into shirt pockets and pants that are wide use passports as a reference .
Because large , Xperia Z Ultra hard put in shirt or pants pockets
Although the correct width , Xperia Z Ultra bag is too high for clothes that will be sticking out the top , in the pocket too Bongsor does not add up . It may be more convenient if the Xperia Z Ultra tuck into the inside jacket pocket or purse .
Because of the size of the screen anyway , Xperia Z Ultra can be considered as a combination of a smartphone and a small tablet , and can replace the function of the devices at once , while still fit inside a bag of clothes. Seen from this perspective , the price range of USD 7.5 million is pegged for Xperia Z Ultra sounds quite reasonable .
