Incredible entertainment with you all the time
Sony’s entertainment divisions have been delivering some of the world’s
greatest entertainment content for decades and with Xperia T2 Ultra these
experiences will be more integrated than ever before. Sony’s latest Album,
WalkmanTM and Movies apps will integrate out-of-the-box with cloud
services to provide easy access to fantastic entertainment. For users in most
Asia Pacific markets this will mean out-of-the-box integration with the Sony
Entertainment Network as well as Sony’s PlayMemories Online storage service,
whilst in China users will have access to an exclusive Sony movies channel via
Sohu and the Sony Zone, a 320Kbps high quality streaming MP3 service.
To make the most of the movies and songs, whilst ensuring that users need
never be parted from them, Xperia T2 Ultra combines a number of key design
features to perfectly balance the need for a large screen with portability and
battery endurance.
Xperia T2 Ultra’s stunning
6” HD TRILUMINOS display extends to within 2.5 mm of the phone’s edges.
This means that it has a screen to phone size ratio of 73.6%, both making the
most of the space available and ensuring that the phone is no wider than a
standard credit card. It is also both slim (7.6 mm) and light (weighing only 173 ± 1g depending on variant differences), fitting easily in a
jacket pocket.
Big, bright screens can often use a lot of power, but that’s not a
problem with Xperia T2 Ultra, Sony has ensured that it is ready to go the
distance by incorporating a battery-efficient processor and massive 3000 mAh
battery, coupled with Sony’s unique Battery STAMINA Mode that automatically turns off functions to save power
when you don’t need them and restarts them when you do.
Sony’s innovative smart social camera
Xperia T2 Ultra features
a 13 megapixel camera, the best in it’s class2,
that brings together the best of Sony’s digital imaging technology to allow
users to capture incredible images, and, coupled with Sony’s new smart social
camera ecosystem, smartphone photography can go far beyond the traditional
snapshot.
The smart social camera system allows developers to create camera add-ons
that extend functionality and re-define the role of the camera. Apps available
at launch will include:

effects before snapping the perfect self-portrait

panoramas.
These will feature alongside a growing number of third party applications

camera app on Xperia T2 Ultra. Already the smart social camera includes apps
for services like Evernote and Sphere with many more launching in the coming
months.
