They may be a little cumbersome compared to
the average mobile, but ultra-large smart phones — or ‘phablets’ as many
are calling them — are most definitely on the rise in Asia, whether
trendsetter Apple is on board or not. Samsung’s stylus-toting Galaxy
Note II has already become a firm favourite with those who require a
device offering greater ease of use than a regular smart phone but with
more portability than a tablet, and competitors from Huawei and Asus
aren’t far behind. And now it looks like Sony is set to come out all guns blazing with its giant Xperia Z Ultra, the
latest in the Japanese electronics giant’s line of mobile devices and
its first foray into the phablet scene. Oh and did we mention that it’s
completely waterproof?
