Great power

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

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
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)
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,

If you don't mind installing a third-party launcher (many of which are excellent, free in the Google Play app store, and take seconds to install, even for non-techies) and you want a full-sized Android tablet, then YES, absolutely. If you're willing to go...
Incredibly thin and light, Vibrant, high-resolution screen, Comfortable to hold, Powerful processor & specs, MicroSD for more storage, Water and dust resistant
Lacks tablet app selection of iPad, Rear camera does not impress, A few of Sony's UI modifications are clunky, Must remove waterproof cover to access Micro USB, $500 is expensive for an Android tablet, So thin that you can flex it in your hands
The Xperia Z2 Tablet is not perfect, but it's a winner. Its $500 price tag is steep for an Android tablet, but this time around Sony is a step above most devices out there. When your biggest rival is the iPad, you're on the right track. The Z2 matches o...
The Xperia Z2 is a great looking and well built Android tablet. It is staggeringly thin and light for a 10in device, has a great screen, expandable storage and good performance. We like the OS and the camera. Indeed, our only issues with the Xperia Z2 Tab...
The Z2 Tablet may not be hugely different from its predecessor, but it's an improvement in all the ways that really count. It's slimmer, lighter and faster with an absolutely beautiful screen, and even has impressive battery life, lasting 15 hours in our...

Waterproof, slim and light, microSD slot, plenty of power, quality construction, software improvements
Bezel size to excess, display resolution behind the competition, display colour is warm, reflective glass
From a features perspective the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet has a long list of positives: waterproofing, that new slimmer and lighter design, a quality construction and all the power of the Snapdragon 801 processor. It's premium, priced as such, and waves...
Abstract: So I have had the Xperia Z2 tab for just over 24 hrs and I will thought that now might be a good time to give you some of my first impressions. Well one word really sums it up and that word is WOW. The way this tablet feels just oozes premium; from the...
Not a lot of tangible improvements, Likely to be pricey
Sony has kept up the high standards it set with last year's Sony Xperia Tablet Z with a number of fairly minor improvements.The Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet is even slimmer and lighter, while it retains the original's distinctive looks and adds an eye-scorching...

Open Gallery The Xperia Z2 Tablet has all the right numbers - 1920, 801, 6000. That would be enough if it wasn't for the fact that tablets win big on criteria you can't put a number on - how they fit into your life, what they allow you to do tha...
There are a lot of Android tablets now. Too many, in fact. A lot also fall directly in line with Apple's current iPad pricing strategy, which means they have to be mighty impressive to be worth the cash.The Xperia Z2 most definitely is. Apart from the sli...
