LG G Pad 8.3 isn't the only device hitting the Play Store, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra also hit Google's virtual shelves on the same day.
Xperia Z Ultra fans craving Sony's phablet-sized device running the latest vanilla version of Android 4.4 can do so by forking over $649 (about £ 394/AUS $708). Although it looks like availability is in America only for now, global customers should be able to get their hands on the 6.4-inch handset soon.
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra features a 6.4-inch screen with a 1920x1080 resolution. Inside the smartphone comes packing a Qualcomm Quad Core 2.2GHz processor with 2GB of RAM and 16GB for storage that's expandable though the microSD slot.
The rather large phone also comes with a decent suite of cameras including an 8MP sensor on the back and 2MP front snapper for selfies.
Playing with the big boys
In a race to cram the biggest phone in consumers' pockets, the Xperia Z Ultra is the largest beating out its closest rival Samsung Galaxy Mega by a mere 0.1-inches.
Those that want something in the slightly smaller sub 6-inch screen world should look for the still palm busting 5.9-inch HTC One Max or 5.7 inch Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Of course the Play Edition of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra holds one extra feature of running a vanilla version of Android above all the other devices. Unlike other manufacturers' devices, the Xperia Z will be updated more quickly with the latest versions of Android not come preloaded bloatware or 37 pieces of visual flair.
