The Z Ultra costs $649.99 for the HSPA+ model or $679.99 for the LTE model. The LTE model supports bands 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 17.

Both phones are available in black, white, or purple. Last, Sony is now selling its second-generation smartwatch, the SmartWatch 2, to U.S. consumers through its web store.

boundaries

A 6.4" screen pushes the boundaries of even what I would find usable as a phone. I wonder if this one finally is too big.

LTE model question...

For anyone savvy in this area of tech...
For the Xperia Z Ultra - what's the purpose of an LTE only model? Does this mean it can be purchased and programmed for a CDMA carrier like Verizon or Sprint? If so, I assume this would mean it would only function (for voice? data?) when in a 4G area, is that right? Only other option would be wi-fi for data?
I'm not sure if my assumptions are correct, but whether yes or no...are there any other Pros/Cons to this LTE only type device?

Thanks in advance! 😎
Sony only makes GSM devices at this time. The LTE Xperia Z1's are rumored to be sold through T-Mobile only @ this time.
