Particularly this has more technology bundled inside: a Snapdragon SoC 800 to 2.2 GHz, a Full HD 1080p 6.44-inch screen, slim design, most importantly it is full water proof. Xperia Z Ultra is fully convincing, but in comparison it is a little less powerful than the Galaxy S4 or HTC One, both equipped with a Snapdragon chip 600.
