The device also comes equipped with Android 4.2.2, JellyBean and LTE connectivity.
The Ultra sports an exterior design that is quite similar to the Sony Xperia Z smartphone. It combines a metallic frame with tempered glass on both the front and back which gives it a minimalistic and stylish look. It features a sturdy a classier build quality than the Galaxy Note 2 as that device consists of glass and plastic.
Even though it is a large device, it is still extremely comfortable to hold, according to a CNET, who had the chance to test a pre-production model. This device is also surprisingly thin considering its size. It weighs around 212g (7.5 ounces), but does not feel that heavy. This display on the device is also described as "stunning" by the publication.
