If Sony does a Vita 2, meet its ideal screen in the Xperia Z Ultra

How technology has moved on. Check out the specs for Sony's latest smartphone. A 6.4" 1920*1080 HD display, powered by a 2.2GHz SnapDragon quad-core processor (GPU not specified), with cunning battery management, cool camera and bags of tricks, and its waterproof.

If Sony wants to reinvigorate the Vita, then the guts of that phone should be perfect for a next-generation model. Proper HD movies, better graphics (upscale existing games), better battery life, and if they could keep the Android and phone features then it becomes a proper multi-function gadget.

While that's probably a remote thought, Sony is going to have increasing problems selling the Vita against the current range of superphones and tablets, so why not go big and challenge the market? And if you can keep it waterproof - gaming in the bath!!!!

The Xperia Z Ultra was announced today and should be on-sale in the coming quarter. I'm sure there's several decent reasons why this can't happen (price, Sony being Sony, etc), but we can dream right?
