The Xperia T2 Ultra: A First Look at Sony's Latest Device

As I started unboxing my new Xperia T2 Ultra, I couldn't help but notice the sleek design and premium feel of the device. The phone's build quality is impressive, with a sturdy construction that exudes confidence and sophistication. The device feels substantial in the hand, weighing in at 205 grams, which may be a drawback for some users who prefer lighter phones.

The Xperia T2 Ultra features a 6-inch Full HD display, courtesy of Sony's Mobile BRAVIA Engine technology. This innovative engine provides improved color reproduction, contrast, and brightness, making the viewing experience even more enjoyable. The device also boasts a large screen-to-body ratio, giving it a unique aesthetic appeal that sets it apart from other smartphones.

The phone's Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system is intuitive and user-friendly, with a range of features that cater to different needs and preferences. One notable feature is the Haptic feedback, which provides a tactile experience when using certain apps or performing specific actions. The back home button is also on-screen, making it easily accessible without having to navigate through menus.

The Xperia T2 Ultra comes with 8GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 64GB via microSD card slot. However, the available space for installing apps and storing data is limited to 4.33GB at the moment. I plan to add a microSD card later on to increase the storage capacity.

The device features a 13MP rear camera with a 1/2.3-inch image sensor, which is slightly larger than those found in other smartphones. The camera also supports Superior Auto mode and manual mode for more control over the shooting experience. I took a few shots of my surroundings using both flash and auto modes to test the camera's capabilities.

The phone's display is also worth mentioning, with features like Auto-Brightness sensor, Notification LED light, and customizable notification shades. The screen brightness can be adjusted manually, although it may not reach the same level as other high-end devices. I found the screen to be relatively dull at lower brightness levels, but this can be compensated by adjusting the manual settings.

The Xperia T2 Ultra comes with a range of pre-installed apps, including Sony's own services like Music and Video, along with popular Indian games like Box and Neo Reader Plexar Express. This selection is impressive, considering the device's price point.

When it comes to performance, I was disappointed to find that the phone has only 1GB of RAM and Adreno 30 GPU, which is less powerful than those found in other devices like the Moto G. However, the Chrome browser performed reasonably well, and video playback was smooth, albeit at a slightly lower resolution.

The phone's speaker system is not particularly loud, especially considering its large opening for the speakers. However, it's still capable of producing decent sound quality, making it suitable for casual listening or gaming.

As I continued to explore the Xperia T2 Ultra, I found that the camera's autofocus takes around half a second to focus on objects, which may be a drawback for some users who prefer faster response times. The device also struggles with auto-white balance in certain lighting conditions.

The Xperia T2 Ultra is an impressive smartphone that offers a unique blend of features and specifications. While it may not be the most powerful device out there, its price point and Sony's innovative technologies make it a compelling option for those looking for a reliable Android experience.

In conclusion, the Xperia T2 Ultra is an interesting device that deserves attention from users who value premium build quality, high-quality display, and reliable performance. While some areas may require improvement, this phone has a lot to offer, making it worth considering for those in the market for a new smartphone.

As I wrap up my first impressions of the Xperia T2 Ultra, I want to assure readers that I'll be providing an in-depth review and camera review of this device in the coming days. Stay tuned for a more comprehensive analysis of its performance, features, and overall value proposition.
