The 6.4-inch honker, expected to be announced July 4th, could house a powerful quad-core processor and 1080p HD screen. ![]() June 17, 2013 6:50 PM PDT ![]() Is Sony jumping on the phablet bandwagon? (Credit: CNET UK via FrAndroid)A French press invite from Sony Mobile touts a "big surprise" at an upcoming July 4th event in Paris, but a slew of leaked images and specs may have spoiled the secret of Sony's first phablet before its big reveal. The invitation features a mysterious image of a tall and slim device with a profile that resembles the Xperia Z smartphone and tablet. The new device --expected to be named the Xperia Z Ultra-- is rumored to have a 6.4-inch screen and a 1080p HD resolution (That's a pixel density of 342 ppi for you pixel hounds). What's really exciting about this tablet-smartphone hybrid is the massive 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor rumored to be under the hood. The CPU, which would be acceptable on a tablet, is a big deal on a phone. The high-end Snapdragon 800 --faster than the Snapdragon 600 which the zippy Samsung Galaxy S4 houses-- would make the Xperia Z Ultra a promising, stylish device with fast gaming graphics and performance. Rounding out the leaked feature set is 16GB of internal storage, NFC, and an 8-megapixel camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. The phablet is expected to be compatible with a stylus as well as stylus-esque objects, like pencils. It is also anticipated to be dust and water resistant with the ability to take a dunking up to one meter for 30 minutes, which is the industry standard. Nothing is official beyond the July 4th event date so check back with CNET for updates. ![]() via Technology - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNF7HVVe9ZIkbdFm1VLW9Rzwn1i37g&url=http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-6452_7-57589735/sony-reportedly-readies-first-phablet/ | |||
