I wrote about some of the major flaws affecting the Google Play Edition Sony Xperia Z Ultra on Monday, but fortunately, these are being fixed with a new Android 4.4.2 update rolling out today. The release weighs in at just over 441MB, and it comes with build number KOT49H.

Today, Sony has officially announced that its latest flagship Android smartphone, the Xperia Z1, will be available to purchase on China’s largest nationwide operator, China Mobile, before the end of the month. sporting some pretty major design differences when compared to its International counterpart, however, it still packs much the same beefy internals apart from the built-in storage which is 32GB as opposed to 16GB on the global version.

It’s much bigger than it looks.

Sony announced its upscaled Xperia Z variant, the Xperia Z Ultra, back in June, 2013, and in July the handset was available to purchase from several independent electronics retailers in the United Kingdom with a rather hefty price tag of £699. However, if you didn’t have the opportunity or wherewithal to pick one up at the time of release, it may be of interest for you to know that Very is currently offering the handset for the discounted price of £579 — that’s a pretty impressive £120 off the usual retail price.

Sony promised its Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for the Xperia Z1 and the Xperia Z Ultra would arrive this month, and today it is delivering on that promise. The new software — complete with everything that’s new in Android 4.3 and much-improved Sony apps — is rolling out “right about now.”

If you set up your new Google Play Edition Xperia Z Ultra by restoring from a backup of your previous Android-powered handset, you probably ended up with a whole bunch of apps you no longer use or need. But that’s okay, because you can just go through your app drawer and uninstall them all… right?

Wrong. It seems the new handset carries a frustrating bug that causes the handset to restart itself when its user attempts to uninstall an app.
