You may have already read our Sony Xperia Z Ultra hands-on last week, but since then we've also been able to spend a tiny bit more time with a pre-production unit (with firmware build 14.1.B.1.277). Instead of going over again how hilariously large this 6.4-inch, pen-friendly phone is, this time we'll focus on some early benchmark results, camera performance and Sony's very own UX features.

As you'll see after the break, many of the benchmark scores aren't too far off from what we saw on the MDP phone with the same Snapdragon 800 SoC, and the final units should be optimized with higher numbers. While we didn't manage to get CF-Bench and Quadrant running on the phone, the higher-than-before 3DMark score did cheer us up, meaning either Sony or Qualcomm's managed to fine tune the latter's new Adreno 330 GPU.

Sadly, it appears that there's much work to be done on the camera side. As our very own Mat Smith pointed out in his earlier hands-on, photos taken in darker environments are surprisingly noisy; and the lack of LED flash here only rubs salt into the wound. The exposure and white balance are not ideal, either; but again, we expect these to be fixed by the time this waterproof phone reaches the stores. Remember: this is still work-in-development, after all.Sony Xperia Z Ultra pre-production sample photos See all photos 21 Photos

On the bright side, we're pleased to see the plethora of handy software features included on this slate. The camera app, for instance, comes with many scenes, filters and modes that are already seen on the smaller Xperia Z; though we're not sure if the app's UI will be updated to the recently leaked Honami version. Then there's also the set of Sony's handy UX tweaks, including the usual app tray sorting modes, power saving modes, sound effects and PlayStation DualShock 3 controller connectivity.

One of Sony's most underrated weapons is its signature Smart Connect app, which comes preinstalled on the Xperia Z Ultra. This lets the user set automatic actions at a specified time and device-aware event (via headphone jack, NFC, USB or MHL). For example, you can set the phone so that when it's plugged into the charger from 10pm to 7am, it loads up the clock app and switches to silent mode. Or it can be as simple as setting the phone to run a specified music app when your headphones are plugged in.

We could go on and on, but for now, we'll wrap up with one new feature tailored to single-hand usage on the 6.4-inch screen: the one-handed keyboard. Like on the Huawei Ascend Mate, you can toggle a narrower keyboard that can stick to either the left or right side, depending on which hand you prefer using; or you can switch back to the full-size keyboard as well. As a bonus, you can also change the keyboard skin, but we'd rather Sony focus on delivering more single-hand features -- like the Vivo Xplay's "Free Touch" mini window.

Alas, we didn't have enough time with the phone to properly benchmark its battery life. But hey, that's what reviews are for, right? So stay tuned on Engadget for more.

Sony's been explaining the design story behind its new Xperia range at a UK briefing, how it's trying to balance both the dematerialization of tech (touchscreens, gesture interfaces) and a design that's both desirable and beautiful -- and Sony's certainly got the latter down on its new smartphone. The Xperia Z Ultra follows the lines of the rest of the Z-series. It has the same "OmniBalance" plane, uniform screen surface, but this time it measures in at 6.4 inches across, but still running at 1080p resolution. Yep, it does feel substantially bigger than the original Xperia Z -- check out our comparison gallery, the new Ultra model dwarfs it. You're looking at a screen width almost identical to a passport and that 6.5mm profile helped fit it into pockets. We managed to cram it into our trouser pockets without an issue. It's certainly a bigger device than the likes of LG's Optimus G Pro or Samsung's Galaxy Note II and you're going to have to test it out for yourself to see if you'd be willing to talk into this Xperia like phone -- it's going to catch the eye.

There's also Qualcomm's notable Snapdragon 800 powering the device on a relatively large 3,000mAh battery, while Sony's simplified the design dropping a few of those much-maligned protective flaps, at least on the headphone socket. There's more impressions and a hands-on video after the break! Sony Xperia Z Ultra hands-on See all photos 23 Photos

The screen has been tweaked to enable input not only through capacitive styluses but also typical graphite pencils, with a new handwriting recognition keyboard available for scribbling notes on the go. In practice, it worked well, with Sony's own windowed mini-apps ensuring we had space to scribble regardless of whichever app we were running. It did add a few inadvertent spaces here and there, but nothing that some software tweaking couldn't solve ahead of its Q3 launch. There's been some less-favorable changes since the Xperia Z too, however, there's no flash for that rear-facing camera and a drop in resolution to 8-megapixels rather than the 13-megapixel sensor of Sony's last flagship. Our early camera tests offered up images that were pretty crisp in well-lit conditions, but the noise started to creep in on shadows -- something that a flash would have solved to some degree.

Unsurprisingly, the Snapdragon 800 was as brutally productive as our early benchmarks hinted at. On this early model, we got a Sunspider score of 835.4ms -- and that's before optimization. The huge screen lent itself well to web-browsing and touch games, and while Sony's shrunk the keyboard for single handed use, we typically went for the full-sized keyboard, which was responsive and a joy to tap away on.

That 1080p display is sharp and bright, although we're not sure if it stands up against our current IPS, Super AMOLED and Super LCD3 favorites: there's still a dull haze at wider viewing angles. Obviously the pixels are spread a little thinner than on the 5-inch Xperia Z, but it wasn't all that noticeable on gallery viewing and web browsing -- text was still pin-sharp. There's a single speaker on the bottom edge, unfortunately placed where your hand will hold the device, but aside from that misfire, the design is a step ahead of other big-screen smartphones, like the Galaxy Note II. Sony has dropped the reflective panelled edges, preferring a brush-finish plastic surface that we found easier to grip.

We're intrigued as to whether that 3,000mAh battery will go the distance with such a big screen, but we'll have to wait for the full review to test it out. For now, the Xperia Z Ultra looks like a confident third flagship for Sony and some free media in-the-box (and gratis Music Unlimited trial) might help the company showcase its music and movie offering -- something that it's desperate to do.

If you've got kids, or just like pretending you still are one on weekends, then you're probably familiar with LeapFrog's infant-friendly LeapPad. We might suggest that you hold off buying one for the next few weeks, thanks to a listing for a LeapPad Ultra that meandered through the FCC today. Given that the LeapPad 2 hit stores last August, we'll expect to learn a lot more about this unit over the next couple of weeks. That said, if you can't wait, or are just curious about what lurks beneath its green plastic shell, check out the teardown gallery below. LeapFrog LeapPad Ultra FCC Teardown See all photos 18 Photos
