Sony Xperia Z Ultra Arriving in the UK on September 6

The newest Android flagship smartphone coming from Sony, the Xperia Z Ultra, has already been confirmed for the UK, though information on availability has been a bit scarce until recently.

The smartphone is expected to arrive in the UK via major carriers and retailers, so Sony fans will surely get to choose their favorite network. At least one major UK-based retailer, Expansys, will start offering the Sony Xperia Z Ultra on September 6. According to AndroidCentral, Expansys has just confirmed that it will receive the first stock of Xperia Z Ultra units on the said date. Those who wish to purchase the white or black version of Sony Xperia Z Ultra via Expanys will have to come up with no less than £640 outright, which is about €740 or $975. For the time being, the handset is up for pre-order at Expansys for this price, but as we approach its release, it might go cheaper.

GSMArena also reports that Clove UK has just announced that the first stock of Xperia Z Ultra is expected in the week commencing September 13. Both black and white variants of the smartphone will be available for purchase. Clove offers the Xperia Z Ultra a bit cheaper than Expansys, as customers will be able to pick it up for £600 (€695/$915). Those who can afford this monstrous phablet will get a huge device featuring a 6.4-inch full HD (1080p) capacitive touchscreen display that packs Triluminos technology and scratch resistant glass. Hardware-wise, the smartphone packs a powerful 2.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory.

On the back, the phone boasts an enhanced 8-megapixel photo snapper with autofocus and full HD (1080p) video recording. Sadly, the phone lacks any type of LED flash, so night pictures are out of the question.
