(1) Contrast enhancement
Contrast in images and video is enhanced by making the darkest parts slightly darker, which brings out details in the picture.
(2) Colour management
Colour saturation is increased for specified colour ranges, which makes the colours deeper and more vivid. And the intelligent Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 software reproduces skin colour exactly as it appears to the naked eye.
(3) Noise reduction
Distortion and noise are reduced when streaming low-quality video from online sources, such as YouTube. Noise is reduced both to individual frames and between frames, for clearer viewing.
(4) Sharpness filter
The Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 applies a sharpness filter to increase the overall detail level in the image. This is done by enhancing the edges and contrast without increasing noise.
The Sony Xperia T2 Ultra is the worlds most portable smartphone in its class
For a phone with a large six-inch display, the Xperia T2 Ultra HD mobile is surprisingly light, portable and sleek. One of the reasons for this is the extremely high screen to phone size ratio 73.7%, to be exact.
Easy one-hand operation
The Xperia T2 Ultra features an easy-toggle keyboard for one-handed input. Ideal when using its one-handed keypad, centralised dial pad and easy-trigger notification tray.
Camera
A 13 MP camera for amazing picture quality
With the Xperia T2 Ultra HD mobile, weve created a camera that takes exceptional quality pictures. The 13-megapixel camera is built with the very same components as Sonys digital cameras, and features an Exmor RS mobile image sensor and HDR for pictures and videos.
Superior Auto. Superior photos
From illuminated night views to close-up macro photos, Superior Auto recognises up to 36 scene types and adjusts the settings automatically, to help you get the best photos anywhere, at any time. As the default camera mode, Superior Auto turns HDR on or off depending on your scene. HDR mode takes multiple shots with varied exposures and then merges them together to make your photos look natural even in backlit conditions.
HDR for photos and video natural colours in any light
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is an imaging technology that gives you clear photos against strong backlight. With HDR, your Android smartphone captures the same image at different exposure levels and layers them to create one optimised photo. And thanks to HDR for video, you can film in high contrast situations. You get great footage, even if your subject stands in front of a window or the setting sun.
Exmor RS for mobile stunning shots in any light
The camera is built with the same modules as leading Sony cameras. Exmor RS for mobile is an evolution of our Sony image sensor technology, with a next-generation BSI light sensor. By adopting the technology of luminance and colour noise reduction, weve created a camera that snaps highly detailed shots with low noise even in challenging lighting conditions. Youre now also able to reproduce objects in more vivid colours and capture night images and faces with stunning clarity.
Camera Apps
Make more of your pictures with our camera apps
Your Xperia T2 Ultra HD mobile comes preloaded with camera apps to make your pictures more fun and spectacular or simply perfect. In addition to the pre-installed apps, there are more you can download. Go to your cameras viewfinder and click on +Apps to see whats available.
Social live broadcast your precious moments live
With Social live, you can broadcast every precious moment as it happens live via Facebook. Get your friends responses right on the screen and keep the conversation going all in real time.
Timeshift burst always get the best picture
With the Xperia T2 Ultra, you truly get the best camera phone. Its so intelligent that it captures 31 frames in just 2 seconds starting even before you press the shutter. Scroll back and forth to select the perfect image, or feel free to keep them all.
Background defocus
Create a blurred out background or foreground. Background defocus simulates a shallow depth of field, capturing two photos at different focus settings and allowing you to merge the different depths.

Significantly improve battery life with Battery STAMINA Mode
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when youre not actively using them. All those apps that you have on your Android smartphone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA Mode saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when youre not using your display and automatically turns off the functions you dont need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again.
Get only the important notices
With Battery STAMINA Mode, Wi-Fi and data traffic are disabled during standby, but you still receive incoming calls, texts and alarms. And since everyone has different needs, you can easily customise which apps you want to receive push notifications from even in standby mode. Facebook notifications on or off? Its up to you.
