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
Super lightweight
Waterproof body (even with no cover for the audio jack)
Overall responsiveness
Battery life (Stamina Mode even better on Sony's tablets than on its smartphones)
Front camera has ideal quali
Incredibly thin and light
Vibrant
High-resolution screen
Comfortable to hold
Powerful processor & specs
MicroSD for more storage
Water and dust resistant
Very slim and light
Good rear camera
Thin and light
Sharp display
Speedy Snapdragon 801 processor
Slim and lightweight
Gorgeous screen
Powerful processor
Waterproof and dust resistant
Fine camera
Sturdy build
Premium look
Stylish
Innovative design
Superior dust and water resistance
Powerful processor is ideal for gaming
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)

While the battery is a concern, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is still a good-looking slate that's loaded with more than enough power for anything you're likely to throw at it. It's a good choice if you're looking for a more affordable iPad alternative with 4G LT...

Slim and lightweight, gorgeous screen, powerful processor, waterproof and dust resistant, fine camera, sturdy build
Some unnecessary tweaks to Android, camera not as good as it should be
The Sony Z2 Tablet improves on its predecessor with a lighter, slimmer casing and more powerful processor, while retaining its fine screen and perfectly good camera. It's around £399 for the cheapest 16GB version, rising to £449 for 32GB and £499 for on...
