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

Expendable storage
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

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)

Abstract: When it comes to the tablet market, Sony seems to be stuck in neutral. We previewed the Xperia Tablet Z over a year ago to find that Sony hadn't yet found an angle for its lineup, resulting in an unremarkable device priced far above its more enticing comp...
1080p display is crisp, clear, and great for watching video, Thin, light, and easy to cart around
Rear-facing camera is subpar, Speakers easily covered up because of their poor placement
The Xperia Z2 Tablet is water-resistant, thin, and, easy to use on a commute. But it also carries a fairly steep price tag....

Incredibly thin andwaterproof, too, Snappy performance, Sony's Android UI is thoughtful and lightweight
Relatively short battery life, Glossy screen, Middling speakers, Both cameras are underwhelming
Not only is the Tablet Z2 the thinnest and lightest tab Sony has ever made, but also it's far and away the best. It's trim design and strong spec sheet makes it a strong competitor against similarly sized tabs from Sony's arch-rival, Samsung....

Super light and thin, Gorgeous display, Holy crap, it's waterproof, too
'Meh' remote control app, Average battery life

Thin and light. Waterproof. Sharp display. Speedy Snapdragon 801 processor.
Mediocre battery life. Feels delicate

Super-thin and light, Bright and colorful display, Water resistant, Long battery life
Annoying port covers, Screen resolution trails competitors, Mediocre audio, Back picks up fingerprints
The Sony Xperia Z2 is a wonderfully light and thin Android tablet that packs a vivid display and plenty of battery life in a water-resistant package....
Abstract: Sony starts its quest to be the best with the most important component on any device: the display. Muted and lifeless LCDs were a chronic weakness of the company's previous Xperia devices, so the new Live Color LED screens on the Z2 and Z2 Tablet make for...

Still gorgeous and water-resistant, Vibrant updated screen, Lighter and thinner, SteadyShot and new camera features
Rain is its nemesis, No 4k or slow-mo video, Not a huge evolution
We review Sony's Xperia Z2 Tablet, the full ten-inch follow-up to last year's Tablet Z, packing a gloriously vibrant screen and updated specs. Time was, Apple's iPad was the sexiest tablet around by miles. Chunky plastic Android wannabes just couldn't c...
With the 12” NotePRO, Samsung created a niche productivity-oriented pad, while Sony's slate is exactly what a media and web consumption device should be – an extremely thin and light tablet, with the waterproof certification added for extra measure.Bot...
