When you have a particular device arrive at the FCC, it can more or less mean only one thing – it is about to be released to the masses, ready to hit the market, in most cases, anyways. As for the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, apparently the device in its LTE-ready format has just arrived over at the FCC, and it will be able to support T-Mobile frequencies, so no prizes for guessing just which mobile carrier in the US will it appear on. The first time the Sony Xperia Z Ultra appeared at the FCC, it happened at the end of June, which was the same day that the handset was announced officially, although that model lacked LTE support.
This latest FCC filing points to a Sony Xperia Z Ultra with LTE support for bands 2, 4, 5 and 7, in addition to 1,700MHz HSPA connectivity, making it most probably a smartphone that will be released by T-Mobile USA, as that mobile carrier relies on LTE band 4 to get the job done over on their network. Of course, this is but based on probability, so there could be some surprises down the road, but not too likely. Will you be getting the LTE version as an upgrade if you already have the Sony Xperia Z Ultra?
