<p>We've seen many a tablet turn into a road warrior -- or even a huge phone -- with the addition of a SIM card. A phone becoming a tablet is a much scarcer transformation, but if any device can make that switch, it's Sony's nearly iPad mini-sized 6.44-inch, 1080p Xperia Z Ultra handset. A variation of that model (the SGP412) has appeared at the FCC packing a Snapdragon 800 MSM8074 SoC processor sans mobile baseband radio, normally used in WiFi-only tablet variants. New application photos of a half-submerged test model show it to be just as dunkable as before, while still packing 2GB of RAM, 32GB of memory, a microSD slot, 3,000mAh battery and an 8-megapixel camera. There's no official word about the device, let alone pricing and a launch date, but when it does come, it'll likely need to beat the mini's $399 sticker -- nearly half the Xperia Z Ultra's off-contract price.</p><p>Comments Share</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/21/sony-sgp412-fcc-xperia-z-ultra-wifi-only/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://phandroid.com/2014/01/22/sony-xperia-z-ultra-wifi/">Sony Xperia Z Ultra now comes in WiFi-only flavoring</a> (Phandroid.com)</p><p><a href="http://thenextweb.com/asia/2014/01/22/only-in-japan-sony-transforms-its-xperia-z-ultra-smartphone-into-a-wifi-only-tablet/">Sony Unveils WiFi-Only Xperia Z Ultra In Japan</a> (The Next Web)</p><p><a href="http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2324362/sony-unveils-the-xperia-z-ultra-wifi-only-tablet">Sony unveils the Xperia Z Ultra WiFi-only tablet</a> (Inquirer)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=d452r8gmA0PCRnMbmK0fuquMnICQM&authuser=0&ned=us">84 additional articles.</a></p>
