Sony Xperia Z Ultra (aka Togari) appear in invitation

We saw a couple images surface on June 6 of a device said to be the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, a 6.4-inch phablet previously known as the Sony Togari. While both the images certainly look like they could be the handset, neither are official, unlike the one that surfaced today. In a Sony event invitation, the Xperia Z Ultra is shown in profile, revealing a very slim body.
Below you can see a portion of the Xperia Z Ultra that is the real deal, however, featured from the side in a French Sony Mobile invitation to an event on July 4.

In case you didn’t do so well in French class, here’s a translation: “Sony Mobile reservers a big surprise for you,” with the second sentence reading, “Don’t forget to mark your calendars!” Of course, the second sentence is written with a stylus, which is likely a coy way of confirming the rumors that the huge smartphone will have a stylus for drawing and handwriting and such.

The image doesn’t show us much of the phablet, but the small amount we can see appears to show a headphone port, followed lower by the power button, then volume, then the dedicated camera button. The very bottom corner of the handset has a small dark hole, which we’re guessing is where a lanyard can go, although it’s a bit hard to tell from the limited image.

As far as specs go, we don’t know anything official yet, but word has it the Xperia Z Ultra will feature a 1080p full HD Triluminos display, and will feature Sony’s X-Reality technology, which makes images more crisp by filling in missing pixels. Inside, users will reportedly find a Snapdragon 800 processor, Adreno 330 graphics, 2GB of RAM, 16 gigs of storage space, and an expansion for boosting that.

Despite its size, the handset is said to weigh only 212 grams, and to measure in at a svelte 6.5mm thick.

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
