Xperia tablet Z rumors started after the launch of Sony Xperia Z at CES 2013. Just two days before the launch of this tablet, we had posted about the existence of this tablet. Finally, Sony Japan officially announced the Xperia tablet Z which will go on sale in japan in the spring 2013. This tablet seems to be very good as far as the specifications are concerned. It is also water-proof and dust proof like the Xperia Z smartphone.

It’s difficult to fall short of memory as this tablet possesses internal memory of 32 GB.
To improve performance, they have added 2 GB RAM so that it can support multi-tasking like butter.
In addition to this, there is also an external micro SD card slot to increase memory. The tab supports 64 GB card well.

Design features:
Also, Sony Xperia tablet is thinner than iPad at 7.9 mm. It is also water-proof and dust proof like its predecessor Sony Xperia Z. The current iPad is 9.4 millimeters in thickness while the iPad mini is 7.2 millimeters. The Xperia Tablet Z is lightweight as well, tipping the scales at 495 grams. That’s favorable compared to the iPad’s 652 gram weight.
The tablet looks quite well with its latest hardware architecture and looks. However, Sony had stopped the production of Xperia tablet S after they had found a defect in the tablet. It will be interesting to see how this tablet is greeted in the competitive market. It will be interesting to see Xperia tablet Z as it is 10.1 inch tablet and also lacks 2G network and voice calling just like Google nexus 10.
Reviews:
Hardware specs aside, Sony would be wise to remember that software is just as important, if not more so, than what’s inside a tablet. To that end, I expect the new Xperia Tablet Z to compete more against other Android tablets than Apple’s line of iPads.
