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
Gorgeous display
Topnotch design & finish

Waterproof body (even with no cover for the audio jack)

Front camera has ideal quali

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
A
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)
Beautiful display, thinner and lighter than before, bonus freebies
Weak waterproofing flaps, battery life could be improved
The design of the Xperia Z2 Tablet is much of the same. But if you've had any experience with the previous tablet you'll be taken a back with how much thinner and lighter the slate is – and that's the real story here. The design was always great, we jus...
Abstract: The iPad no longer has the tablet market to itself. As 7in Androids such as the Nexus 7 and Tesco Hudl offer cheaper but acceptable alternatives to the iPad mini, market share declines even as tablet sales go up. But the iPad Air remains the king of the 1...
Abstract: Highlights include the recurrence of the IP55 and IP58 dust and water-resistant technology, new front-facing speakers, some vibrant display colours and overall "great looks".However, by retaining the same 1920x1200 pixel display as last year's Xperia 7 ...
As users of Apple products including Macs and iPhones, the iPad Air is the natural and more fitting choice for us. We'd choose the iPad Air not only due to its stunning design and easy to use software, but also because it ties in well with the our Apple e...

Abstract: THE SONY XPERIA Z2 TABLET , at 6.4mm thick, is the skinniest tablet available on the market, besting Apple's iPad Air . Despite this, the tablet has a larger 10.1in HD 1080p screen powered by a quad-core 2.3GHz Qualcomm S...
The screen is detailed and colourful and the tablet is astonishingly light and slim.
The bezel round the display is ridiculously wide, and the sound is not very powerful
Tablets need to really stand out to challenge the iPad Air – this model has a lot going for it and even manages to be thinner than Apple's flagship, but it somehow fails to fully catch the imagination....
Thin and light, Waterproof, Sharp display, Speedy Snapdragon 801 processor
Mediocre battery life, Feels delicate
The Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet is surely among the fastest, most impressively designed Android tablets around, but it's somewhat unimaginative and lacks a distinctive feature to justify its £400 price tag. The display is good, but not spectacular; performance...
