The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact stuffs a heap of power and a good display into an extremely slim
Waterproof body. While its ability to act as a screen for a PlayStation 4 can be shaky at times
It's a novel feature not found on other Android tablets

Res compared to others
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
Bloatware
Price is too high
Bezels make it feel longer than it needs to be
Display resolution could be higher
Extraordinary amount of bloatware
Expensive
Vast amount of bloatware
Pricey
A lot of Sony services and apps pre-installed
Some Sony bloatware
Display could be better
Can run hot
Average main camera
Colours could be slightly improved
As could the screen's responsiveness
Screen border could be smaller
Video Unlimited app should provide betterquality videos given the price
Phones and tablets are converging - phones are already in the 5.5-6 inch range and 7-8 inch tablets are more popular than their 10" siblings. There was some speculation that the 7.9" iPad mini will eclipse the 9.7" iPad Air, but with the underwhelming min...
Abstract: This year's IFA marks one of the largest product announcements by Sony in one go. Alongside the anticipated Z3 flagship, the company unveiled the Z3 Compact, the next generation of the mini that ruled last season.The flagship offerings were followed by a ...
Thin and lightweight, PS4 games can be streamed to the Z3, great battery life
Too many preloaded apps, unusual location for rear camera, unstable connection with PS4
The Z3 is a decent tablet with handy features, and you can even use it as a phone so long as you don't mind sticking such a large device to your face or splitting your pocket in half.If you are a PS4 gamer then you will also be excited about the screen sh...
Sleek, slim and light build, Fully waterproof and dustproof, Great battery life, Decent audio from stereo speakers, Works as second screen for Playstation 4
Screen resolution not as high as rivals, Poor camera performance
Probably the best 8-inch tablet you can buy right now.If you're in the market for a high-end 8-inch Android tablet, right now, you should only be considering two choices, the Samsung GALAXY Tab S 8.4 and the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. Between the two...

Solid, waterproof build, Great battery life, Capable of great photos, Zero compromise on power, Very comfortable to use
Camera app is overly complicated, Not quite as premium as its big brother, Cooler colour balance won't suit all
At first fondle, the Xperia Z3 Compact isn't precisely the zero compromises smartphone Sony says it is - the 720p screen and missing metal frame suggest otherwise. But it sure is close.In fact, on first impressions the Z3 Compact is shaping up to be a bit...

Neat little movie tab, Waterproof, Great battery life, Expandable storage
You can get an iPad Mini 2 for RM969, Not all Android apps are optimised, Sony pushes some services
Convincing people they need an Android tablet - let alone a premium one - is no easy task.But the Z3 Tablet Compact is a lovely thing. It's a slim, light and reliable couch or commute companion. The screen looks brilliant despite being "only" Full HD. The...

Slim, sexy form factor, Robust build, Textured back panel, Vibrant display with good viewing angles, Stereo speakers, LTE support, Lengthy battery life, Produces sharp photos, Water-resistant/dustproof
Heats up when playing graphics-heavy games, Rear camera positioned in an awkward place
Sony's Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is one very capable device. As far as its time with us, it was able to handle everything we threw at it and performed really well. From web-browsing, to watching movies and playing music, to playing heavy games and connect...
Thin and lightweight; PS4 games can be streamed to the Z3; great battery life.
Too many preloaded apps; unusual location for rear camera; unstable connection with PS4.
Are you a fan of huge screens? Sony has just the right device for you in the form of the Z3 Tablet Compact, a tablet that is sleek in design and light in weight.It also streams games from the PlayStation 4, giving you the option of playing games from anyw...
