Sony Xperia Tablet Z

 

Does Sony make the best 10-inch Android tablet around?

Extremely slim and light, Fast processor and graphics, Vibrant screen with good viewing angles

Ports behind fiddly flaps, Screen not as sharp as cheaper Nexus 10, Limited tablet apps compared to iOS

Sony Xperia Tablet Z review

 

The lightest, slimmest and water-resistant-est tablet on the market

Really light ; Beautiful screen ; Small apps ; Great keyboard

Awkward, angular design ; Average battery ; Poor camera ; Charging takes forever

The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is pretty much the complete package. A fantastic slender, lightweight design topped off with a great screen and clever features makes it the best 10-inch Android around.

HRT Music Streamer II review

 

If you specifically want a USB only DAC, then the HRT Music Streamer II is an ideal product – it's small, solid and sounds perfectly balanced

Ultra simple design ; beautifully detailed, dynamic and precise sound ; affordable

Not as flexible as something like the DacMagic

Best DAC up to £200, Awards 2011. If you're after a USB only DAC, then this is a great buy

Slim and light ; Widescreen HD display ; Waterproof ; Expandable storage ; Good audio performance

Chassis flexes ; Colours are a little warm ; Old version of Android

Sony Xperia Tablet Z review

 

There has always been something of an awkwardness around Android tablets, a bitter taste left by earlier dalliances with an interface that didn't really work, and a huge gulf between the premium and the low-quality devices. The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is...

Weight, design, water resistance

The display is a little warm, older version of Android

The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is a great Android tablet. The design and specification is impressive, offering a thin and light tablet that's a pleasure to hold, with the reassurance of protection from water for those inevitable accidents.

Sony Xperia Tablet Z video review

 

It's a seriously thin device; at 7mm it's the thinnest we've seen and is even thinner than its smartphone counterpart.

Sony Xperia Tablet Z review

 

Sony has had two attempts at making a high-end Android tablet. The previous Xperia tablets weren't overly impressive and very much became one of the crowd. The firm aims to correct all this with the Xperia Tablet Z.

Sony has made a very desirable tablet in the Xperia Tablet Z. We particularly like its striking svelte design and features that you don't get with rivals such as NFC, its waterproof casing and infrared. However, its slightly lacking performance means...

Sony Xperia Tablet Z Review: In Depth

 

The Sony Xperia Tablet Z, nothing short of a supermodel. Looking lithe, poised and (to use Tyra Banks' vernacular) fierce, it will make you look...

Water resistance is novel & useful

Ports under flaps can get irksome

Sony Xperia Tablet Z review

 

Is making a 10in version of the stunning Xperia Z enough for Sony to get back into the tablet game?

A thin, light Android all-rounder that Sony fans will love - but the Tablet Z is a step behind the best
