The excellent screen, despite the low resolution for such a diagonal, looks very decent under any conditions. I was surprised by the battery, it’s almost impossible to kill in a day. There are no complaints about the telephone functions; talking is quite comfortable. Communication is also excellent, LTE reception is excellent, I don’t know about Wi-Fi, with the advent of Iota, there is simply no need for it))

A large phone is difficult to carry in your pocket. You cannot delete native programs. Little memory.

1. The screen on the right along the 5x70mm strip has lost sensitivity. 2. The battery began to swell (charging only from the original adapter) already after 6 months of use. 3. The camera cannot take photographs if there is no sun or clear day. 4. Weak body (bends in different directions without much effort). Out of the box there is a noticeable deflection over the entire area. 5. Bluetooth works even with native headsets in one place (it creaks, then hisses, then loses connection. Tested on three different Sony headsets). 6. The original book case is complete rubbish. Replaced 2 pcs. It always cracks in the same place - from the hole under the camera, it’s not clear why...? Didn't fall, didn't squeeze...

Bluetooth does not work correctly Sony srs x11. The support service said that it is not compatible with them. It pairs with the cheapest phone! Constant loss of sound in the headphones, both on the native player and on third-party ones! I’m not even talking about memory....

Very little memory! When I installed all the necessary applications on it (I got 13 of them), the rest no longer fit, but there are many unnecessary ones built in there (for example, the built-in eyelash extension function with the front camera. Are you serious???!!!), which cannot be removed in any way. Applications cannot be installed on the memory card, you can only save photos. Very bad front camera, but I don't take selfies, so it doesn't matter. Giant size, does not fit into all pockets. The camera is dim.

worse than a phone did not see. NOT ONE FUNCTION WORKS CORRECTLY. The camera is disgusting, the worst possible, the camera button has not worked since the 3rd month, you have to press until your finger turns blue. It takes NO pictures, if the lighting is just below a clear day, there will be no picture. brakes in everything, it falls off once a day, then the network, then the map, navigation and maps - if it wakes up, it will find itself 200-300 meters before the real position. if he wakes up. everything turns off, always and everywhere, by itself. The screen does not calibrate in ANY way, i.e., when pressed in the lower left corner, it boldly responds, after 5 minutes, by launching the application from the icon in the upper right. the sound when listening to music, if it doesn’t cut out 7-10 times in an hour, then today is your day!! lives his hostile and stupid life. The most stupid, buggy, incorrectly working and slow device

Back cover quickly scratched (without a case), with a case this phone is very large. A full charge barely lasts 8-10 hours of moderate use (no gaming or anything like that). The narrow side linings of the body partially fell off. 3G reception has become worse (the network constantly disappears)

Well, in auto mode it doesn’t take good pictures at night, but if you switch to manual then everything is fine, the speaker is a little weak (well, that’s purely for me)
An inexpensive phablet from Sony can now be found for almost 12,000 rubles. Compared with Sony Xperia Z Ultra does not have protection against water and glass panels, but there is support for two SIM cards and a better camera.
Design, construction
I really liked and like the Sony Xperia Z Ultra; the extremely interesting phablet is still interesting now - the price has become lower, but the unique features have not gone away. It has a great design and display, LTE support, a thin body, and, in the end, the thing is just nice to hold in your hands. The Z Ultra, like the T2 Ultra, is a travel device. Fits in the smallest bag, you can comfortably watch TV shows, a movie, or just read. In any case, it’s better than reading or watching something on the iPhone screen.
We all have our own cockroaches in our heads, and for some time now I have stopped liking taking a backpack with me on a flight; I try to place all my things in a suitcase and not take anything at all with me into the cabin, or just a small bag. And my small bag doesn’t even fit an iPad Air – a mini will fit, but I don’t want to buy another iPad. And this is where T2 Ultra comes to the rescue; if you wish, you can even put it in your pocket and go light. You can put a SIM card with the main number inside and add a second one for use in roaming. You can put a 64 GB memory card here and fill it with content, or you can turn down the brightness and read books. I say all this to say that a phablet is a very versatile device, and you can come up with a lot of use cases.
But let's get down to business. The dimensions of the device are 165.2 x 93.8 x 7.65 mm, weight – 171.8 grams, as I said, you can carry it in your pocket, although when I sit down, I feel a slight hindrance. But you can get used to it. The smartphone is available in three colors: white, black and purple. The body is made of plastic, the design is recognizable from first Sony Xperia Z The company's smartphones have their own face, and that's great.
Silver inserts on the ends, a familiar button on the right, stripes for volume buttons and a camera. Above the display there is a front camera, light and proximity sensors, the earpiece is covered with a metal strip with perforations. The same strip is at the bottom and on the back of the case. The 3.5 mm input is on the right, it is normal and does not support advanced accessories. On the back there is a camera lens, flash, microphone, NFC area. I've been using the device for a long time, scratches appear on the smooth plastic, they are only noticeable if you look at it at an angle and look closely.
Under the flap on the right are two slots for SIM cards, regular cards and microSIM. On the left is a slot for microSD cards, cards of any capacity are supported. Since this is not a flagship device, there is no magnetic connector like the regular Ultra. I think that in Las Vegas or even earlier the company will show the Sony Xperia Z Ultra 2, it would be logical - improvements will probably affect the camera, add a new five-pin connector, reduce weight, add metal. I'm really looking forward to the next phablet, literally impatiently.
Yes, please note that the Sony Xperia T2 is waterproof Ultra Dual no, the microUSB connector does not have a plug. There is also no groove for attaching a strap, which is common in older devices. The indicator light is small and lights up red during charging. To make it easier to work with one hand, we added an option to quickly call up notifications; you need to double-tap the Home icon.
Keep in mind, the story with SIM cards is this: the device supports LTE only on one SIM card.
- SIM 1: UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I) MHz, GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
- SIM 2: GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
New Sony smartphones have LTE support for two SIM cards at once, for example, the Sony Xperia Z3.
Display
Is there a big difference between a five-inch and a six-inch display? In my opinion, it is very big. Look at HTC One and Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual. Which screen do you think is better for watching movies? Naturally, T2 has the advantage. The display diagonal is 6 inches, the screen is made using TFT technology, of course there is a difference from IPS. Resolution – 1280 x 720 pixels (HD), Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 technology is supported – its work can be seen when you watch a video. You can see it, but I couldn't do it. The screen has good viewing angles, but the white here is a little yellow, this is noticeable when browsing websites. It seems to me that the brightness is a little lacking, I would like to add more, but I can’t do more.
Performance
It uses a quad-core Qualcomm MSM8228 processor, clock frequency 1.4 GHz, Adreno 305 is responsible for video, and this is what the device shows in AnTuTu.
One gigabyte random access memory– I don’t know if this is enough for a device with such a display. Or Sony wanted to make the device as cheap as possible. An affordable phablet, not a bad idea. Let's see if there will be a sequel - this is always an indicator of whether the progenitor was successful. There is 8 GB of memory installed for data storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card. operating system Android 4.3 (initially) with a number of branded additions, these are its own icons, player, and some programs. For example, Sony Select - best apps for Xperia, in XperiaLounge you can find various promotions and discounts for Xperia owners, Office Suite - a package for working with documents, Evernote is pre-installed, there is a radio, TrackID is still there, a program for identifying musical compositions.
Here we must give an almost traditional conclusion: the device works quickly, with brakes at startup installed programs I didn't collide.
Here is one example of what has been added here from Sony, let’s take the player for example. It's volumetric Sony sound Surround Sound Technology, supported by AptX, so with headsets that support the technology, the sound will be amazing, ClearAudio+, Clear Bass, Clear Phaze, Clear Stereo technologies to improve the sound. There is a dynamic normalizer (evens out the volume) and SensMe channels. It seems like little things, but there are a lot of such little things - naturally, all this affects the use of the device for the better; it’s pleasant to listen to music on the Xperia T2.
A little more about Bluetooth, profile 4.0, Ant+ profile is supported for working with sports gadgets, Wi-Fi - IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, there is DLNA support.
An important addition, not long ago there was an update for the smartphone, now Android 4.4.2 is used, it seems to me that the device has become even faster.
Camera
The main difference from the regular Z is the use of a 13 MP camera and a flash. The shots are better, there is a separate shooting button, various effects, including augmented reality. In my opinion, everything is fine with the camera, you can easily use it every day - but if you look closely at the pictures on the computer, you can conclude that the iPhone 5S takes better pictures. The Sony Xperia T2 Ultra lacks detail and colors look strange. But, I repeat, this is in any case better than the regular Ultra. If you were looking for a Sony phablet with a normal camera, then for now there is only one option.
Video recording in HD, the quality is not bad, but nothing more.
Nutrition
The stated operating time is about 16 hours of talk time, 89 hours of listening to music (!), 11 hours of watching videos. The battery capacity is 3000 mAh, the device works like any other Android device - it all depends on what you do with it. In flight, the T2 Ultra calmly withstood several episodes of the series and still remained “at the bottom.”
conclusions
In retail, this device can now be found for 11,000 rubles, an excellent price for a Sony device with a large screen, branded interface additives, two SIM cards, a good design and display. Moreover, you can find this gadget for less money, well, I’m generally silent about the secondary market; for a Sony Xperia T2 Ultra dual in perfect condition they ask from eight thousand rubles (I looked at Avito). We can talk about success for a long time, but in this case everything is decided by the price - and everything is in order with the price. Yes, the materials here are not as good as the regular Ultra, but the white plastic looks good too? And even the scratches are not particularly noticeable. The screen is not IPS, but you can watch a movie without wincing, the quality is quite normal. The operating speed is acceptable, the speakers are loud, talking is quite comfortable - everything is in order with the earpiece speaker. The device is niche - after all, it will not fit into every pocket - but it will certainly find its consumer.
Well, I’ll wait for the Sony Xperia Ultra 2. It’s very interesting what the company will come up with for the new phablet.
The Xperia T2 Ultra Dual phone is positioned on the market as a middle-class device, a functional and stylish gadget with a wide range of capabilities for listening to audio, taking photographs and recording video. The model has a fairly large screen, a capacious battery and a wide range of hardware resources (such as, in particular, built-in flash memory).
According to one of the classifications accepted in the expert community of the IT market, a smartphone can be classified as a “phablet” type device. The term is quite new. It is intended to characterize a device that occupies an intermediate position between a smartphone and a tablet). This approach to the classification of mobile gadgets, according to a number of marketers, will reflect a new trend in the assembly of devices: when there is no point in brands competing in technology, you can organize a competition in the field of device design engineering. Moreover, this can be done in any segment. Budget "phablet" - why not?
How successful is the solution proposed by Sony in this regard? To what extent is the "phablet" theory valid for the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual? What are the features of this device?
What is in the box?
The standard phone delivery kit contains, in fact, the device itself, a USB cable for communication with a PC and charging from a power outlet, as well as the necessary documentation. There are headphones like MH410c, very simple from a technological point of view, but quite functional. The Xperia T2 Ultra Dual does not come with other accessories, such as a case, as standard. However, finding similar products is not a problem. Just walk to the nearest salon cellular communication. Many experts, by the way, praise the box itself in which the phone comes - it looks expensive and stylish.
Design and dimensions
Most experts praise the phone for its successful design, noting the elegance of the slim body and stylish display. Sony Xperia T2 Ultra Dual, experts believe, has an appearance that is equally suitable for men and women, as well as people of all ages. It is quite possible to say that the target audience buyers of the device is quite wide.
Those who tested the device note that it is very comfortable to use. The smartphone fits nicely in the hand and easily fits into a pocket or purse. The device is medium in size (length - 165.2 mm, width - 93.8, thickness - 7.65). The phone is available in three colors - white, black, and purple. The body of the device is made of high quality plastic.
On the end sides there are nice silver inserts. like most other smartphones, it is located above the display. Near it there are two standard sensors - lighting and motion (proximity). The voice speaker is covered with a perforated strip made of metal (very similar elements are also present at the bottom of the case and at the back). The audio jack is located on the right side of the device. At the back is the main camera, equipped with a flash and microphone, as well as an NFC radio component.
On the right side of the case there is a flap, opening which the user will see connectors for SIM cards (standard and micro-SIM). On the left side there is a slot for. The phone also has a micro-USB connector, through which the device can be connected to a PC and other devices. The phone is equipped with a small indicator light that turns red while the battery is charging.
According to some experts, the brand manufacturer tried to make the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual phone as compact as possible for its category. In particular, according to estimates by a number of testers, the display occupies about 74% of the area of the entire front panel.
From a design point of view, this device can be classified as a device that implements the OmniBalance principle, which is actively promoted by Sony. This concept involves giving devices such appearance, in which its viewing from all sides would be characterized by visible symmetry and clarity of lines. At the same time, according to some experts, the rather simple case material - plastic - does not quite correlate with OmniBalance. Although there is an opposite point of view. It often occurs, in particular among users who have left reviews after using the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual. In their opinion, plastic can no longer be considered a typical “budget” material. If only because the quality of polymers can vary greatly between different brands (as well as devices of different classes). In expensive segments, users note, plastic is also often used.
Dual SIM support: theory and reality
The device supports the simultaneous use of two SIM cards, working in almost any communication standards existing today, including LTE. However, there is one caveat: both cards cannot work simultaneously using the most modern standards. That is, if a user wants to access the Internet using LTE technology, he can do this with only one card. The other one in this case will work only in the 2G standard. However, this feature is not unique to the Xperia T2. The noted features of the simultaneous use of two SIM cards are characteristic of most similar models.
Screen
The Xperia T2 Ultra Dual smartphone is equipped with a 6-inch diagonal display. Manufacturing technology - TFT. Screen resolution - 1280 x 720 pixels. There is support for HD mode. Experts note that the picture on the display is clearly visible from any viewing angle. The fact that the display technology isn't cutting-edge confuses some experts. Still, TFT is a standard that is becoming a thing of the past and is confidently being replaced by newer solutions. However, those experts who do not agree with this point of view argue: the fact that this technology is still relevant, speaks of its undeniable practicality. The Sony brand, they believe, as one of the most advanced in terms of the latest standards, chooses TFT for a reason. This technology, in particular, can greatly influence the desired balance of phone functionality and energy savings. It is known, for example, that many more modern screens (in particular, those operating according to the OLED standard) consume more battery resources. The user receives in return very few advantages in terms of picture quality.
Hardware and performance
Just like many other smartphones produced by Sony, this device is equipped with high-performance hardware. It has powerful processor MSM8228 with four cores. Clock frequency microcircuits - 1.4 GHz. The video subsystem of the smartphone is controlled by a chip. The device is equipped with 1 GB of RAM. There is 8 GB of built-in flash memory. You can install additional modules, and the phone supports almost unlimited capacity. The device, according to specialist testers, works quickly, without freezes or slowdowns. The device has a stereo sound reproduction system (the best listening results will be if the connected headset supports a similar standard). The device is equipped with a Bluetooth module in version 4, and also supports the Ant+ standard (which is most often used to connect sports devices to a smartphone). There is a module for communication via Wi-FI. DLNA standard supported.
When testing the device using benchmark programs, approximately the following results are achieved. In popular AnTuTu program The smartphone showed a performance of about 19.3 thousand units. In Quadrant, a result of 9.9 thousand points was achieved. In another application common among testers, Geekbench 3, the phone shows about 400/1300 points. Experts note the phone's good results when tested using the Stability Test.
The device, like many other Xperia smartphones, shows good performance not only in tests, but also when checking in game mode. It is known that modern gamers are accustomed to having fun on mobile gadgets in the same way as on regular PCs. That’s why manufacturers create games for smartphones and tablets that are in no way inferior in graphics to their “large” prototypes. Of course, in this case, especially high performance is required from the devices.
Testers who ran games on the phone (such as Asphalt 8) were very pleased to see the absence of noticeable slowdowns and freezes of the device. The quality of the displayed graphics is rated as high. However, with prolonged use of the smartphone in game mode, the body of the device, as some experts note, can become noticeably warm.
Software
The Ultra Dual smartphone runs Android OS version 4.3 (it is possible to upgrade to 4.4.2). There are several preinstalled branded applications(such as, for example, Sony Select, Office Suite, Evernote). There is a TrackID program that can find the names of playing songs on the Internet. The phone comes with a proprietary player pre-installed.
The phone is also equipped with a branded system management shell - Xperia Home. This firmware contains original themes and interesting animation. In general, experts note good quality software, present in the device. According to experts, almost all smartphones are characterized by this positive property." Sony Xperia", since the brand pays special attention to the quality of the software.
Camera
The camera has a fairly high resolution - 13 megapixels. Experts note high quality the pictures it produces (according to some experts, even when viewing photos in detail on a large computer screen, it is not clear that they were taken on a smartphone). It is possible to use various photo effects (including, in particular, the options The camera can also record videos in HD format with good, according to experts, quality. There is defocusing, a retouching mode (however, it only works for front camera). There is a Timeshift Burst option, which allows you to take a dozen and a half photographs in 1 second. Many experts praise the device for its high-quality camera performance in HDR mode.
Battery
The operating time of the phone in the mode declared by the manufacturer active use- 16 hours, when listening to music - 89, when watching videos - 11. The battery has enough large capacity- 3000 mAh. The experts who tested the device received generally comparable time to the declared one. battery life smartphone in different modes. Many of them were especially pleasantly surprised by the results shown when watching the video. Not every device is capable of playing movies and clips for 10 hours or more.
Experts' summary
Experts believe that at a fairly inexpensive price, this device gives the user a wide range of capabilities. Many people praise the device for its good design. A drawback noted by some experts compared to the flagship smartphone model (Ultra) is the materials used to assemble the case (but there is a point of view that this feature may not be considered a disadvantage). Available on the Xperia T2 Ultra smartphone Dual characteristics, experts believe, compensate for the insufficiently “prestigious” (according to some) case materials.
Many experts prefer to call the device a “phablet” (or its closest synonym, “tablet-smartphone”). Therefore, it is quite acceptable to assume that the manufacturer brand has equipped the device with a set of characteristics that would allow us to say that the user has a rather original gadget in his hands. Not a smartphone, not a tablet, but something that combines the advantages of both devices.
Does this mean that the Sony brand will be able to become a leader in “competition” with other “phablet” manufacturers? The question is, of course, ambiguous. But the fact that the Japanese corporation has prepared arguments in favor of choosing its devices is undeniable. The "phablet" from Sony is stylish, beautiful, convenient, functional, and sufficiently productive.
What users say
It will be interesting to see the opinions of phone users. What are the characteristics of the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual reviews? How similar or inconsistent are they with the expert opinions above?
Users note the stability of the device, the high quality of the camera, the presence of a large number useful applications, pre-installed at the factory, pleasant sound. Of course, many owners note the fact that the price set by the manufacturer of the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual (from $320 and above, depending on the “appetites” of the sellers) even more than corresponds to the functionality of the device (as well as the level of its performance and the execution of design elements ).
Some users praise the phone for its performance and express a positive attitude towards the fact that it comes pre-installed with a large amount of flash memory with unlimited support for additional modules. The fact that there is relatively little RAM is not recognized as a disadvantage by the majority of owners.
The phone is praised for the stability of voice communications and Internet connections, regardless of the access technology used. Users, as well as many experts, highlight quite a number of positive features of a smartphone. long term autonomous operation without recharging.
Many device owners note the ease of use, the ergonomics of the case, and the ease of operating the device. A large number of users praise the Xperia T2 smartphone for its successful design, pleasing to the eye color scheme of the body, and good color rendition on the display.
It is quite acceptable to assume that the opinions of device users and experts generally coincide. Both of them mostly praise the smartphone. There are, of course, experts who have compiled a review characterizing the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual and identified its shortcomings. But even if one of the users or specialists who tested the device finds some disadvantage and voices their point of view publicly, there will always be someone who can provide compelling counterarguments.
