Z Ultra Google Play edition specifications

[srkmagnus]

Google yesterday announced the Sony Z Ultra Google Play edition alongside other Google Play announcements. From the AC Blog:

The latest Google Play edition device, the Z Ultra, will have the same hardware and specifications we all know and love, but carry a basic "Nexus-like" build of the software. This has proven to be a quick track for manufacturers to get the Google Play edition devices on the latest version of Android, and keep them there.

This is great news for anyone wanting the Z Ultra hardware with a stock Android (KitKat) look and feel. Read about it here: Sony Z Ultra Google Play edition announced, available now | Android Central

Does the Z Ultra have those annoying little tabs that cover the ports that you have to pry open whenever you want to charge or connect to something?

Optimus G Pro
