There was a time when the trend in technology seemed to be making everything smaller. Looking at the increasingly large smartphones hitting the market these days though, the new trend seems to be go big or go home.
Sony has certainly taken the supersizing of smartphones trend to a whole new level though, with the launch of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The latest member of Sony’s flagship Xperia smartphone family, the Ultra will launch in Canada exclusively with Bell Mobility in mid-October. It’s an Android model with a huge 6.4″ display, that uses the same Bravia and Trilimunious HD display technology as Sony’s televisions.
