Sony Xperia Tablet Z will be available in Singapore on 6 June – in black or white.
First announced in Japan in January this year and then during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona back in February, the Xperia Tablet Z will debut in Singapore next Thursday.
Hands-on
The Xperia Tablet Z is only 6.9mm in thickness and felt really light in my hands – it weighs only 495g.
The Tablet Z is water resistant to IP55 & IP57 standards and is immune to accidental spills and splashes – following the footsteps of its sibling, the Xperia Z Android smartphone.
We dunked it in a shallow tub of water just for the heck of it.
The tablet can actually be submerged for 30 minutes up to a depth of 10m.
The Xperia Tablet Z includes has a 10.1” HD WUXGA display, powered by Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2.
The display looked really brilliant to me, with extremely vivid colours.
It has an 8MP rear camera featuring “Exmor R for mobile” as well as a 2MP HD front-facing camera.
I tried shooting at a couple of dimly-lit corners and the photos came out pretty good – not overly underexposed with little grain and noise.
It is the first tablet to run on Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro asynchronous quad core processor.
Sony’s S-Force Front Surround 3D, promises good audio performance alongside Sony’s Clear Audio+ mode and the use of two in-built speakers with four ‘speaker halls’ on the left and right corners delivers “amazing” sound no matter how it is held.
Xperia Tablet Z also includes Battery STAMINA mode, Sony’s battery management technology for improving standby time.
The WiFi variant also offers up to 64GB of storage with an optional mircoSD card.
For easy connectivity, the NFC-enabled Xperia Tablet Z includes Sony’s One-Touch functions that let users transfer content seamlessly from HD tablet to TV, tablet to speaker or phone to tablet just by touching them together.
