There is so much pre-loaded junk on here. Sony this
Sony that -- a Sony app or widget alternative to many of your go-to apps that would inevitably do the job better. There are two (two!) pre-installed Sony apps (What's New and Sony Select) just for recom
You can get an iPad Mini 2 for £240
Not all Android apps are optimised
Sony pushes some services
Build quality and finish is lacking
UI overlay is an eyesore
Sony has filled the interface up with so much pre-loaded software that it looks cluttered before you've even downloaded your first app. Opting for a higher resolution display would help it compete against many of its rivals

Really light, Waterproof, Good size, Excellent battery life, Playstation integration
Vast amount of bloatware, Pricey,
Sony has succeeded in bringing back the ultra-slim device. It has given Apple some real competition to its mini devices – but it's a shame that it has seen fit to cram the Z3 Tablet Compact with bloatware. This and the price – £300 – are the downsides of ...

Extraordinary amount of bloatware, Expensive
Sony’ve brought skinny back. They have squared up with Apple to give their ‘mini’ series real competition. However, turning up at a fight wearing a fat suit is not a good look and the bloat wear that comes packaged with does nothing to help the tablet wi...
The Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact isn't as powerful as the Nexus 9 and has a smaller, lower resolution screen, so it's game over, right? Not even close. The Compact is a lot lighter and smaller, has a storage expansion slot, is water- and dust-proof and thanks...

Despite that, the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is still a fabulous piece of hardware. The battery life is incredible, the display is super-bright, and performance is excellent. Couple that with a slim, lightweight, water-resistant chassis and you have a ...

Sony has made a play for portability with the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact and there's no denying that's been achieved, in spite of the bezel present at both ends. As a tablet to throw in a bag and take with you on the move, it gets the core design righ...

All of Sony's 2014 premium mobile products are great. The Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, despite a few slight faults, has some blinding qualities. The Full HD screen is bright and crisp, responsiveness is excellent, and the added smartphone features make this ...
