Sony Xperia Tablet Z is a high-level tablet released many years ago, packed with an enormous 10.1" touch-screen, a very powerful 1500 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit, an 8.1 MP back camera and a 2.2 MP front facing camera. Let's take a closer view of what this tablet can do.
Sony has made a very good design job making the Sony Xperia Tablet Z weight only 17.46 ounces. The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is very slim and comfortable, being just 0.27 inches thick. This tablet is a compact tablet, taking into consideration it features a 10.1 inches display and it is just 10.47" long. The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is available in 2 different color options, black and white.
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 system chip, backed up by an exceptional Quad-Core CPU clocking at 1.5 gigahertz with a huge 2 GB of RAM. Graphic calculations usually uses lots of CPU time, so this tablet also has an Adreno 320 graphic processing unit running at 400 MHz to help handle those graphic tasks. A nice point of this tablet is its quite big 16 GB internal storage and a slot for an SD memory card, allowing you to store a couple hundred games and apps without worrying about space.
Sony equipped the Sony Xperia Tablet Z with a very good 10.1 inches display, and a 1200 x 1920 resolution, which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels that compose the display. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is equipped with two cameras, an 8.1 MP back camera and a 2.2 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It is also able to shoot Full HD 1920x1080 videos. The camera also features a large number of amazing features: auto-focus, fast burst mode, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z features a high capacity 6000 mAh Li-Polymer non-removable battery that provides this device an extremely long battery duration. An issue to consider is that this tablet's battery isn't removable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, although with its 6000 mAh you will probably replace this tablet before that becomes a real problem.
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z provides wifi connectivity (and it can provide it to other devices around, acting as a wireless router), LTE 4G fast internet connection and also HSPA+ connection type, that is a bit slower 4G network and 3G fast data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. The Sony Xperia Tablet Z uses a Micro SIM card for GSM connection.
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z also comes with plenty of cool features like NFC (Near Field Communication), Infrared Transmitter, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Geolocation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
Sony is offering the Sony Xperia Tablet Z for 435 dollars, which is a really high price for this kind of tablet. The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is probably the correct choice for you it doesn't matter whether you are looking for a work device, want this tablet device majorly for internet broswing and social networks, you love taking photos or want it for gaming.
