            \o_O/ Battery is Sufficient.
            There is a 'Stamina Mode' in XZ and in XZU too.
            It works like charm in XZ.
            So All is Well for SONY. :-D
            Love this Monster.

                      Lmfao, it's almost the size of the Nexus 7. What were they thinking?

                      Also, the display still looks bad. I hope I'm wrong on this though.

                          The size is a bit scary but when I think that this device could be pair with a smart watch make me think eeemmm... I can see myself living with this phone (just leave the phone inside pocket or beg), plus writing with any pen or pencil-that would be such a new experience and a welcoming ones too since no matter what, stylus writing for me does not beat pen and paper - hopefully a handy software comes along with it. Anyway can't wait to get hold of the demo set plus the smart watch.

                            I honk so far the only downer is the lack of flash for the camera.

                                  Good specs no doubt. But is 6.4" a phablet?? Use ur brains people it's a tablet cos a 5.5" note 2 is big and troublesome to carry about in pockets. 6.4" will be very troublesome for portability. You'll have carry it around like a ladies purse ready to be snatched and stolen. Don't get me wrong the device specs are very nice. Phone makers forget that mobile phones should be portable thats why they were invented in first place.

                                      Now Samsung know what to do with their Note3. They will find the weakness of Z Ultra and make it the strength of it. Like the battery and the lack of flash.
