Xperia Z Ultra LTE starts shipping in UK on 13 September

Most of the recent headlines have been dominated by the Xperia Z1, yet Sony has another premium handset that is to launch in Europe shortly, the Xperia Z Ultra. The HSPA+ version (C6802) has been out for a number of weeks now and the LTE version (C6833) is due to go on sale next week in the UK.

All retailers that we’ve checked including Amazon UK, Clove, Handtec and Unlocked Mobiles point to a shipping date of Friday 13 September. Interestingly, the pricing between the Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1 is not the different, with the former costing just £20 more on most sites. This is despite the Xperia Z Ultra sporting a larger 6.44-inch display compared to the 5-inch Xperia Z1. Clove has the best pre-order deal, bundling the SmartWatch 2 and SBH20 Bluetooth Stereo Headset into the price of £618 including delivery.
