[@josephc2801]

The Google Play Edition series of devices was the closest we've ever gotten to an Android One line in the US. They need to do this again

[@jasonbournexX44]

I miss this channel 😍

[@TheOrangeType]

I think the Sony Android skin is one of the better ones. I'm not a software genius (i just use them and talk about what i see) so i don't really think that much about speed or sluggishness (never really noticing the differences) but between my S3, HTC One and Z1 the Z1 had the best software for looks and functionality.

[@Supercarsfanatik]

The Sony Xperia interface looks much nicer in my opinion

[@HeyItsRJ]

Agree.।

[@nilsdendekker1300]

Tiberiu I agree

[@mattdixon6947]

i heard "so you can take the PHOLO" at 12:15 very funny XD

[@norreanelucypadmencie5113]

yeah I heard that hahaha very funny lol

[@umerjamalabbasi]

Yeah Very funny

[@jb8von]

Great video review. What you mentioned towards the end about the large bezel and angular corners are major drawbacks. I appreciate you pointing this out.

[@RlCESTER]

The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is the sexiest looking phone of all time IMO. I have a Sony Xperia Z5 premium, 4k display and all but wish I got the Z ultra instead

[@Juoppolalli]

Then you are braindead

[@jazon3535]

they should have made the phone thicker so it could hold a real battery. a phone this size needs to have a minimum of a 4500-5000mah battery.

[@WhackieEwelelel]

Agreed!!

[@luluthecat1570]

Agreed

[@Jkis1971]

I have a nexus 5 and it is a great phone but the screen on the z ultra along with kitkat makes this my next phone for sure!

[@SchneiderStudios]

It's thin because it's huge, there's more room to space the internal hardware side by side instead of stacking them on each other .

[@enemybird]

I remember wanting this phone so bad

[@henryparsons3716]

8 years later: holy bezels

[@theeawesomee7822]

I like it but I will get the regular version. Honestly, I think the Xperia OS kicks ass.

[@RFord2]

This thing looks like a beast.

[@RecycledB0X]

Nice unboxing! Still happy with my iPhone 5S but this is also another tempting phone to get.

[@MaheshWalatara]

That's No Moon, its a Space Station. lol.

[@dunbizl]

Hi DB, I really like you reviews, very informative. Quick question do you think TMobile will release it here in the US? Thank you for your videos, keep them coming. Best wishes

[@DetroitBORG]

Google Play Editions are only sold directly from Google so I don't think so.

[@dunbizl]

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it. I'm going to purchase one right now, it seems very nice. Thanks again have a great day.

[@fabiejohnmarkninoc.5217]

Very small tablet and at the same time very huge phone....LOL

[@concubinage]

Looks like a mini nexus 7

[@PaceyPimp]

Yes I love the Mega I wish they made A Note 3 in Mega size

[@prod5429]

No flash feature for the camera ?.. Why ?.. It has a good picture display though

[@chuckstube2]

Which camera are you using to record your videos? Everything is so sharp and clean.

[@5x22]

This is Phabulets, beautiful phone from Sony.

[@nlifenoob1849]

Thanks for the review you helped a lot

[@billgreg123]

I have purchased this phone switched from an iphone 5s and not going back. It has everything apple restricts and much better display doesn't feel that large after a couple days.

[@AbsoluteTartarus98]

so nostalgic!

[@yoda123589]

Does it come in a LTE version

[@yoda123589]

Does it come in a LTE version

[@5599AD]

Sony is all about quality but the Android makes it feel cheap when using the device. Thanks for the Unboxing & Overview video

[@alltheluck]

Im not a big Sony fan but this is an amazing looking phone! I fully agree with your phablet comment. Cheers!

[@astrusofficial]

Hey Mike I was wondering, what mic do you use in your videos? Thanks

[@willfake84]

You mentioned the sides being plastic and there are in fact aluminum.

[@willfake84]

You mentioned the sides being plastic and there are in fact aluminum.

[@homeblaster]

I would prefer the Sony version. Wonder if T-Mobile has em???

[@AbhishekNathani]

I wish i could buy this but cant afford.. im big android fan.. actually not fan but exhaust-fan.. hahaha... hope some day i will have one...! really love this review.. u rock dude..!

[@Highgear145]

GEEEZZ!!! THATS BIG!!!!

[@matsuwd-emethdaath4002]

great all out review and topnotch

[@alexandanatheng162]

Its awesome and elegant device!

[@Anleoflippy]

The Z Ultra definitely has one of the best displays on the market. But I prefer the Xperia version over this.

[@BruceWayne-fc8dp]

Agreed

[@bte1024]

Great video and awesome device.

[@prod5429]

It might be a good phone, but it has to be a pain having to carry that thing around.. I have trouble putting my s4 in my pocket, depending on what pants im wearing that day and its only a 5 inch screen. So I cant imagine trying carry that thing in my hand all day.. Dont get me wrong, I love big screen for the accessibility, but they can be a hastle sometimes

[@bernardobento5943]

Thumbs up if you saw a tiny drop of saliva on the screen at 4:47!

[@misjazippelius6656]

Emon Waller the normal does have an better battery life. On the normal do you have stamina mode and other sony battery things

[@vateytith2252]

Just bought Z ultra December 2017 size? Note? Waterproof? This one is economy

[@KristophersKorner]

I love my Sony Xpreia Z Ultra. Don't think I would like the stripped down one Nexus is offering.

[@aqibos]

I find this to be a very difficult to purchase when the Nexus 5 is $300 cheaper with very similar specs. This is really for the Sony ethusiasts. I would buy it, but just way too expensive. . .

[@aliaziz4152]

nice video as usual nice clear voice

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

Well if I wanted stock android I would buy a nexus or a Motorola(in fact I have a 2nd generation Moto X) The Sony interface is one of the better ones in android imo

[@HossamTarek8]

would be awesome if we see your review of the NOKIA Lumia 1520 along with other WP handsets. the for the review.

[@paulaner37]

No flash? Well that's a dealbreaker

[@DanielDuarteSza]

00:30 basketball with the GS4 -_-'

[@jayathithilakan]

00:30

[@GaylordRobinson]

That's a phone????!!!! That's so big that's as big as my tablet!!!

[@kennyward5252]

Woah wheres the HD!?!?!?!? only 360p???

[@EpyonRoyal]

Did you keep this, and use it as a daily? Or did you just keep it during the review period? I'm debating selling my note 2, in order to buy one.

[@EpyonRoyal]

John Lock I'm definitely considering it. The Note 4 is amazing, but I'm not dropping $700+ on a phone. :)

[@charmingdude97]

I want that ! Nyc video!

[@idriiiiiiish]

or you can root your current phone and slap some aosp on it... but i mean $649 is also a good way to go

[@Bscott1]

he has a sad face in the video title

[@luiscarloslunarubio6208]

Wouldn't it be easier downloading a simple launcher?

[@charlotteanncustodio8569]

Z ultra is my phone right now. it has a great camera. even when you want to take a picture while riding a car or a bus. the picture dont blurd. but it's not good in Night. it has no flash.

[@courtneyvegan9448]

How is it on battery life? Also I had don't phones before. They gave me headaches because I could feel the radiation coming from the phone. I had the same problem with Samsung phones,not lg or Motorola.

[@farizrisang9252]

That was a nice video.

[@danielainger]

You gotta have hands of a giant to use that thing damm

[@RCAndroidFreakCz]

Get the gel launcher (google experience launcher)

[@omaroe666]

does the google play edition still have the Anti Shatter Film?

[@RyanBounedara]

Now I know how to pronounce "incandescent."

[@alvintucker8432]

Nice watch man

[@johnathanaguilar4536]

So its water proof right ?

[@egyptianman25]

This phone in your hand seems like 5 inch Good Review

[@phaze1844]

I have a question about this device as it pertains to battery life. Does the Gpe have better battery life or does the Xperia Z Ultra have better battery life?

[@snazzysailor]

Headphone jack on the side - very impractical imo

[@LeonNikkidude]

It doesnt come in white and not ergonomic?What does and is under 500 dollars?

[@LouisCollierassuredchimera6]

Great video

[@MMSEuroTrip]

Where do you get the money to buy these devices??

[@ABDZ89]

[@itsjmmariano]

[@wolverine7562]

[@quangminho4616]

[@js986]

[@jonathandusselier]

[@JareBear7]

[@ImagineCraft7]

[@aaronmaruri]

[@ericbranton2196]

[@FEEDtheMACH1NE]

Please review the Xperia Z1!!

[@portjon97]

[@A_guan]

[@dulkithpitigalage504]

Great video. I really like your videos

[@yoink7806]

does the screen work when it is wet? I know the gs4 active doesn't

[@cgreen6369]

You fail to mention that the Sony Z Ultra is LTE and has a capacitive touchscreen which works very well with a stylus. And now available for $334.99 www.expansys-usa.com/sony-z-ultra-google-play-edition-unlocked-lte-16gb-black-263504/

[@1910anahi1979]

Are you advertising that site? Is it even legit?

[@cgreen6369]

MissyKoneKo I do not work for the company (I am in healthcare). I got mine from that site last August. Loving mine. No lag like my Samsung Note 2. I have no idea what price Expansys is asking for the Z Ultra GPE now.

[@GLXTCHYY]

Can you do a review on the lg leon either 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 lollipop

[@joshssauce]

Is it just me or does the screen look dim like the nexus 4?

[@alfiejr24]

Will it work outside the US?

[@DaFrenkNL]

As always a nice and very informative video!

[@mrfeast-g2g]

10 years old it is 2024 youtube is showing me now
