Despite its bulk and heft, the Xperia Z Ultra manages to look stylish with its metallic frame combined with tempered glass on the front and rear of the device. It features a minimalistic design that complements its light weight—a mere 212g for a phone of its size.

This device runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system with a custom Sony user interface that retains most of the stock Android features. It comes with a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor that is coupled with 2GB of RAM.
A mid-range phablet for SMBs
Do not get your hopes high: this phablet from the Chinese company is not something that you would want to write home about. Yet it is a respectable device, as far as smartphones go, with its linebacker built and custom software interface.
The Huawei Ascend Mate is one of the largest smartphones you can buy today, sporting a 6.1” screen, though it has a lower-resolution compared with what you’d expect from a device of its size. Design-wise, this phablet is a monster of a device, measuring 6.4 x 3.4 x 0.4” and weighs 7 ounces. It is not a light device, if that’s what you’re asking.
It sports a 6.1” Super IPS LCD screen that packs a resolution of 1280 x 720p, giving it a pixel density of 241ppi, which is paltry when measured against current standards.
