19th March, 2014: Sony India today introduced Xperia T2 Ultra, the next evolution in large-screen smartphone design. Designed specifically with customers from emerging markets in China, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia Pacific rim in mind, Xperia T2 Ultra brings together the best of Sony’s imaging and display technologies with ground-breaking design efficiency to produce a stunning Android smartphone at a mid-range price point. Incredible entertainment with you all the time Sony’s entertainment divisions have been delivering some of the world’s greatest entertainment content and with Xperia T2 Ultra these experiences will be more integrated than ever. 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 India, this will mean out-of-the-box integration with the Sony Entertainment Network as well as Sony’s PlayMemories Online storage 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 IPS 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 its 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: • Collage: Allows you to drop images directly into creative photo collages by changing formats, layouts and backgrounds • Background defocus: Create stunning images full of depth by separating foreground elements and burring the background • Timeshift burst: Ensures you get the perfect photo every time by taking 31 photos within two seconds, both before and after you press the shutter. You can then scroll through them afterwards to select the perfect shot. • Sweep Panorama: Snap amazing and seamless panoramas easily. Take a snap then sweep the phone in a direction you set to capture wide-angle panoramas. These will feature alongside a growing number of third party applications available through the Sony Select app store and accessible directly from the 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.
