The standard as such does not prevent mobile devices to use higher speeds, but it states that a mobile device can only be labeled as 4G if it supports at least 100 Mbps and likewise a stationary device is only allowed to be labeled as 4G if it is capable of handling speeds up to 1 Gbps.
The data sheet for Snapdragon 800 states its HW limit is 150 Mbps.
Thanks Arne, but if we focus on the underlined part of your statement above, still in context I hope, that would be false. HSPA+ is considered 4G on at least 3 continents N & S America and also in African continent. That goes against the focused "underlined" part of your statement above ... so it leaves me a bit confused.

That's because lot of operators sloppily labels any technology offering speeds above 3G as 4G when in reality the more correct term for such technologies is 3.5G/3.75G (such as HSPA+) or 3.9G (such as LTE). Think this is described in the IMT-advanced specification maintained by the ITU standardization.

3.5G has been incorrectly marketed as 4G with some operators, esp in the US. This has caused quite a bit of confusion.

I don't know about other parts of Africa, but here in SA HSPA+ isn't seen as 4G.

Looks like a miniature Bravia.
It's a good move using that magnetic docking station. Hopefully it will soon be compatible with every Xperia in the range.

Anyone know if the dock is charge only or can it transfer data too? It seems like power only as far as I can tell. |

I've tried holding a typical passport (same width and thickness, sort of) and feel it won't be too big to hold comfortably.
I wonder about fitting it in my pockets though. Is there anything about this size and stiff in most households that you guys can think of?
Since I'm thinking of ordering it online before it arrives in my country. |

Xperia Z Ultra benchmarks

About screen
http://www.theinquirer.net/in[....]-xperia-z-ultra-handson-review
The picture quality of the Xperia Z Ultra's screen is among the best we've seen on a smartphone. At 6.4in and with 1920x1080 resolution, making this handset the largest full HD smartphone on the market, the quality outshines most of Sony's competition, including the Samsung Galaxy S4.
