Sony Turns Its Xperia Z Ultra Into a Tablet in Japan


Sony's 6.4-inch Xperia Z Ultra smarpthone is almost big enough it could be considered a tablet, right? Sony seems to agree, as it announced it will start selling a Wi-Fi only variant of the device in Japan.

The device is very simple to describe: it's identical to the Xperia Z Ultra, only without the cellular component.

This means it comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an 8-megapixel camera, a Full HD display, Android 4.2 and water resistance.

The Wi-Fi Xperia Z Ultra will become available in Japan this week for ¥52,000 ($499). There's no word on pricing or availability in the elsewhere.
