"Wait, that's a phone?"

That is one of the many bewildered questions we've received from passersby, friends, family, and everyone else since we received Sony's latest ... device last week. And that's the very question that has unintentionally answered another we've been trying to answer for going on three years now. At what point is a smartphone no longer a phone but a miniature tablet?

Smartphones have been continually growing for the last three years, from a common 3.5-inch display to 6-inches and beyond. The race has transferred from who can cram more pixels in a panel and who can fix the largest camera sensor to the back of a phone to who can burst the seams of the average pant pocket.

After Samsung's Galaxy Note was a mild success, it was somewhat clear that "big" was in. And since, every smartphone iteration has grown in size. Five-inches, which used to be considered nonsensical, is quite average these days. And phones like the Galaxy Mega 6.3 leave us scratching our heads, feeling we may need to bring back the quite tasteful fanny pack, just to comfortably carry our phone with us.

And just when you think your 6.3-inch phone isn't big enough, an unlikely hero, Sony, steps out from the shadows to unveil something bigger, better, and, of course, slimmer than ever before. The Xperia Z Ultra.

We've spent eight days with the Xperia Z Ultra, putting it through the paces. Have we finally met our match? Is 6.4-inches simply too large to be considered and carried as a smartphone? Watch our view review to find out!
