It may have arrived late to the phablet party, but now that Sony has turned up, it has done so with something new, exciting and accessible in the form of the Xperia T2 Ultra.
Theoretically, it's simple to make an affordable phablet. Start with an affordable, mid-range phone and add a bigger, medium resolution screen and put it on sale.
In practice, finding the optimum balance between performance and features and the bottom line is very challenging if you want the end product to be in any way desirable. But that's exactly what the Xperia T2 Ultra manages to do.
Its 6-inch screen offers a 1280x720p entry-level HD resolution and its rear-facing camera boasts 13 megapixels. It can shoot full HD video too. But Sony hasn't stopped there, the device is also packed with the company's own imaging know-how and apps so that users really can make the most of the camera. Then there's the processor which is quad core and there's 1GB of RAM at hand too, so it shouldn't be too hard to multitask.
Internal storage capacity is a bit on the low side -- just 8GB -- but that can be expanded via microSD card by a further 32GB. As well as physical, Sony is also offering 50GB of free cloud storage for the device, via Box.
The handset runs version 4.3 of Android and supports 4G/LTE as well as 3G networks so it should be fast at pushing data back and forward; this means that streaming a HD video from the cloud via that LTE connection should be more than feasible and won't result in the frustration that constant buffering of a moving image can cause.
