Sony Xperia Tablet Z: Size and build
The Android -toting Sony Xperia Tablet Z weighs in a just 495g,
compared to the 660g iPad 4 and the 597g Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. We
were genuinely surprised when we first got our hands on the tablet - it
really is amazingly light and easy to hold in one hand.
Both the design and build quality are similar to that of the Sony Xperia Z smartphone, with the tablet sporting a similarly slimline design, measuring just 6.9mm in depth.
The back of the tablet is crafted from a glass reinforced polymer, which means that it has a nice grippy texture as well as being extremely light.

Sony Xperia Tablet Z: Features
Like the Xperia Z phone, the new tablet is waterproof up to 1m for up
to 30 minutes, handy for using in the kitchen without having to worry
about any spillages. Although you can't actually operate the screen
while it's completely submerged, you can use it when the screen is wet
or you have wet hands.
The tablet features a similar UI to the Sony Xperia Z phone - a design experience that Sony is trying to use across all of its connected product, including TVs.
Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor, clocking in at 1.5GHz, the Xperia Tablet Z is the first tab to use this particular chip, which also appears on the Xperia Z smartphone.
There'll be 16, 32 and 64GB models available with the 32GB version offering LTE/4G and there's also a micro SD slot on board for boosting the storage.
Connections include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and DLNA so there are plenty of options on board for hooking up to other kit around the house. The tablet can also be used as a universal remote for TVs, thanks to the onboard IR tech and an app that works with all the AV brands you could possibly think of and more besides.

The tablet is currently running Android 4.1, but an upgrade to Jelly Bean is due in the not too distant future.
Sony Xperia Tablet Z: Screen
The tablet's 10.1-inch scren sports a 1920x1200-pixel resolutionThe
According to Sony, the new tablet has the widest colour spectrum of any
tablet, while the brand's Mobile Bravia Engine 2 processing has been
used to intelligently adjust the contrast and sharpness.
There are four speakers on the tablet, two on the sides and two on the bottom edge. The idea is that at least two of the speakers remain uncovered at any one time, whether you're holding the tab in your hands on resting it in a case.

Sony Xperia Tablet Z: Camera
Along with a front-facing 2MP camera, the Xperia Tablet Z sports a
rear-facing 8MP camera. The camera uses a similar UI to that used on
Sony's CyberShot cameras, including the Superior Auto mode. Along with
all the usual arty effects, the snappers also offers Sweep Panorama as
well a 10fps burst mode.
