Great power
Lovely screen
Basically everything about the hardware. The lightness
The thinness
The lovely screen
The front-facing speakers
The waterproofness
The Snapdragon 801
The 3GB RAM. All that stuff is just great. We also like that it can power noise canceling earbuds
The Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet's processor is searingly powerful and copes well with games. It has a bright
Vivid display and its razor-thin body can be taken in the shower without worry

Sony hasn’t deviated much from the design of the original Tablet Z
Just like the recently launched Xperia Z2 phone
Both products are more refinements of an already top-notch product
And that’s no bad thing at all. That means you’re treated to a slim and light tablet
That weighs barely anything in your hand (just 439g
Even less than last year’s)
But you’re given a whole 10.1-inches of screen
Fine screen – if not the best
Clean and detailed sound
Clutter-free interface
Waterproofing
Beautiful design. Incredibly thin and light. Attractive and easytouse Android skin. Expandable memory

The editors didn't like
Not a lot of tangible improvements
Likely to be pricey
In contrast
It's basically all software. Again. The skin Sony puts on just doesn't work very well. It slows things down
It makes things look worse
And it's less intuitive to use than stock Android. In fact
If this thing was a Nexus device and ran stoc
It loses its battery far too quickly in standby mode. Huge bezels around the display don't look good and make the body needlessly big
And its slim design has resulted in the whole thing being a little flexible
Weak waterproofing flaps
Battery life could be improved
Expensive
No killer first/third party tablet apps
Big bezels = a very wide tablet
Bezel size to excess
Display resolution behind the competition
Display colour is warm
Reflective glass
The bezel round the display is ridiculously wide
And the sound is not very powerful
Screen glare
Plastic casing doesn't feel premium
Hard to use onehanded in portrait mode
Fewer apps optimized for a 10in display
Disappointing quality speakers
Display can appear artificial
Range of Android apps smaller than iOS apps
Just like with the Xperia Z2 smartphone
We can’t help but wonder if Sony could have done even more with its update. While we have no complaints with a refinement of last year’s tablet
We would have loved to have seen a few surprises thrown in. The main problem we have with the Tablet Z2 is the same as last year’s model
Its 16
9 aspect ratio. Many Android slates pack in the same screen ratio

More detail on rival tabs
Still a lack of optimised Android tab apps
Reflective front
Chassis flex
Poor quality speakers. Screen sometimes looks artificial. Android tablet app selection still not as good as iOS
Thinner bezel
Please
Video Unlimited still has no HD content to view on the overFull HD screen
Microlags when you launch certain games (but everything runs smoothly after that)

The Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet is the best-looking Android tablet on the market, and shows that Google-powered slates are finally taking the fight to Apple and the dominant iPad. The Z2 is almost unbelievably thin and light, with a strong - if slightly flexib...

Sony has impressed us again with its latest take on the tablet, and has created what could be one of the best slates to guzzle down media on. Its waterproof skills are still a treat, and as it’s lighter than the iPad Air, you won’t even notice it in yo...

Innovative design, Superior dust and water resistance, Powerful processor is ideal for gaming
Resolution can't compete with rivals, Builtin apps offer little new, Camera and sound quality is average

Waterproof, stylish design, robust, fast and responsive
Screen glare, plastic casing doesn't feel premium
The Xperia Z2 Tablet is elegant looking and offers great performance. Coupled with this is its waterproof slimline design and low weight, which makes it an ideal choice for business travellers wanting an Android device....

The Z2 tablet, which has been launched along with the Xperia Z2 phone, is Sony's equivalent of the iPad Air. Under the hood sits a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 801 chip, teamed with 3MB of RAM. Running the show is Android 4.4.2 Kitkat, with a Sony ‘skin' over the to...
