"I have a 4.3" (or above) phone, the Z ultra without the ability to make calls is it's perfect companion!" Said no one ever.
Stupid decision.
Though I have heard the battery will be bigger and it will use slightly different materials.

my only problem with it is that no android media players has hardware support for 10bit MKV.

Not even PC's have hardware support for 10bit, only software, at least the s800 is powerful enough to handle it through software right? Although that easily drains the battery. Still it's perfect for that triluminous screen
I wish hardware manufacturers supported 10bit. I guess they're too busy making hardware for 4k. But then again 10bit isn't that much mainstream compared to the regular 8bit

10-bit provides better compression thus smaller file size if used properly.

Isn't that just a ~7-inch tablet? What exactly is "Stupid" about that...?

But it's not a 7 inch tablet, it's a phablet at 6.44 inches. As I posted before, it is situated in a weird place, since all the other 7 or 8 inch tablets have much larger batteries. Sony is just trying to save money on making a new 7 inch tablet and reusing the ZU.

Yep, comes with a bigger battery (no precise information yet), a soft touch plastic back and apparently it will retail for £299, €399, $399. I thought in 2014 Sony mount a tablet offensive, we'll see... I'm still hoping for a proper 7 to 8" tablet. Sony Xperia Tablet Z(1) Compact
?

ouch, 400 bucks, or even worse, 400 euros for this? thats almost 1700zl here in poland lol.
at this price point, I feel i'd rather get an older tab z 16gb, or new nexus 7 with 3G, even the apple ipad mini with 4G is cheaper. Dell Venue 8 Pro is also cheaper and runs full windows.
Nice try sony, but no.

"nice try sony, but no." can be said also on z ultra. i hope they are going in the way of the galaxy note line in terms of spec for z1 ultra - no compromise on spec, and not less important, shorten the phone dimensions a bit. i would consider buying it.

I was in the same boat, when I heard sony was making a note competitor, I was excited and was definitely going to buy it, but once it was released, it was too large, had no integrated pen, and it was not wacom. I honestly do not need to use a pencil on a screen, I'd rather use a wacom pen from the device.
I have no idea how the sales of the ZU are right now, but I don't think it made any dents in the phablet market at all.
So maybe, just maybe Sony will realize the mistake and redo their ZU for the next gen?
