In contrast to the majority of the material Z Ultra glass, aluminum, and plastic, in T2 Ultra entirely made of plastic (except the screen). The most striking is the rear with a solid color glossy texture that is very susceptible scratches and fingerprints. In addition, because the plastic, then reduce the premium impression when grasped. If anyone has a large size of the palm, the T2 Ultra can be grasped with one hand, still feels solid.
The face filled with a secondary camera, light and proximity sensors, LED notification, earpiece, 6-inch screen, and a mic. Not the top and bottom instead of stereo speakers, since the speakers are located on the back along the main camera and LED flash.

The top and bottom plain there was nothing. Although the memory card slot and a microSIM card covered with a flap, but keep in mind mobile phones T2 Ultra not waterproof.
Affairs of the screen, T2 Ultra has a quality IPS screen Truluminous nice, equaling Z Ultra in our opinion, but with a decrease in resolution of 720p HD only just. Although 720p but still look pretty solid, too wide viewing angle, the screen was close to the glass. Sony also buried Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 features for the display color contrast in multimedia content such as photos and videos. There Glove mode, but unfortunately there is no setting White Balance.

Out of the box, T2 Ultra runs on Android Jellybean 4.3 which Sony promises will present updates KitKat. It looks just like the Xperia other air-Jellybean 4.3, so there are no special features are given to utilizing the large screen.

If pressing the recent apps, but displayed applications that never opened, also provided mini-apps to support productivity while you open another page in the phone.
Drawer apps comes with a size large enough icons formidable 6 x 4 which can be arranged in a custom or alphabetically, the most frequently used, or an application other than the default ROM applications. Not available option to reduce the view size (6 x 5), so that more screen contains items like those of the Z Ultra.

The interface settings are given an intuitive and fairly complete. There are a variety of interesting shooting modes, such as social live, timeshift burst, AR effects, and others that can be added via the Play Store. Perhaps because the specifications are relatively fit, while doing displacement settings in the camera's menu is slow.
The results created this big-eyed camera outdoors visible detail, light, and natural coloring. For indoor as well as good result with minimal noise, if it is dark you can use the help of LED flash.
With a 13MP camera of course you can do the recording up to 1080p FullHD resolution. There is a choice of recording support features such as Smile Shutter, HDR, SteadyShot, and others. The results are saved in MP4 format.

Default content will be prepared based on the time they were taken. Albums can also be connected to an online service, such as Facebook albums, Picasa, Flickr, and others. As usual existing content can also be processed directly on the album.
Walkman as the default music player application that has shortcuts to the service Sony Jive to download songs legally for free. Walkman is currently available in the latest version 8.3.A.0.7. The interface looks more dynamic. Where Next page Listen became the main page sort Listen Now on Google Play Music. If the information is less complete content of your music, through your Walkman can download relevant information connected with Gracenote service. There are quite a lot of the sound output settings ClearAudio +, Surround sound, Clear Stereo, Clear Phase, xLOUD, until the equalizer. Unfortunately output voice sounded underpowered either be heard through the headset or speakers. Suarapun output processing aid was less than the maximum.
The concept of application view Movie (7.1.A.0.4) is also aligned with the latest version of the Walkman. The main page is displayed Watch Next. Same integrates well with Gracenote service so that you can complete the information of video content if available. Actually the video player is fairly reliable in opening the popular video formats and even up to 1080p resolution, but the performance when playing and dismiss high quality video feels a little slow. Good again this video player supports subtitles.

You can save your favorite radio station and have to plug the headset in order to enjoy this feature because the headset functions as an antenna.
