When it comes to first impressions
The Xperia Tablet Z impresses in every aspect. When you first pick it up
You wonder if there's actually anything to it
As it's ridiculously light at just 0.49kg
Meaning if you chuck it in a bag you might forget it's even in there. While it might be a spacious 10.1-inch tablet
Sony has spared no expense in making sure it feels like it weighs absolutely nothi

The editors didn't like
Lack of weight makes it feel potentially less durable
IPad is formidable competition at this price
Screen is a fingerprint magnet as per usual
Design
The thickness of the device is one thing that immediately stands out
With its striking clean lines a
Pale flat screen
Parts under hatches
Mediocre performance
Poor battery life
Skinny design results in flex
Doesn't challenge rivals in sheer power and speed
Sony has put a lot of effort into its Xperia Tablet Z
And it clearly shows through the gorgeous screen and fast specs. Yet
Despite the supreme hardware
Sony has managed to drop the ball on the software side of things
Stuffing its thin slate with spammy apps like Sony Select
PlayNow
Wi-Fi Checker
Garage and SocialLife
Which can all be sent straight to the bin - but that won't free up much
The odd lag
Digital media offer still not advantageous
Webcam practically useless in low lighting
As 1920 x 1200andup screens go
There are better
Average battery life
Not the latest version of Android
Display not as scratchproof as rivals
Widescreen format not entirely suited to productivity use
Water causes the touchscreen to register activity
Large bezel
Glossy finish is bad for outdoor use
Sharp edges can make the tablet uncomfortable to hold
Chassis flexes
Colours are a little warm
Old version of Android
The battery life isn't quite on a par with rivals and the screen
Like most premium tablets (i.e. the Nexus 10), the Sony Xperia Tablet Z doesn't come cheap — $499 for 16GB variant and $599 for the 32GB. It's a very hefty price tag, but as they always say, you get what you pay for. The Tablet Z is one of the better perf...
Crazy thin and light, superb display with rich colors and deep blacks. Has AV Remote
Design is clean but a little dull
It's hard to argue with the Sony Xperia Tablet Z: it's crazy thin and light, yet it's fast, has a vivid full HD display and an advanced array of features including an AV Remote, NFC, dual band WiFi, Bluetooth and a decent 8.1MP rear camera. It easily ...

The Sony Xperia Tablet Z offers a refreshingly thin and light design, with great gaming performance, and a sharp screen. The MHL connection, impressive waterproofing, and expandable storage are notably appreciated extras
$500 for 16GB of storage is a heavy price hike compared with Sony's previous tablet entry, and the tablet's poor network performance and slow app loading cuts into its value. The low-light camera feature isn't as effective as a traditional flash
Though awash in features, the Xperia Tablet Z's $500 price is a decidedly rough pill when a better, cheaper alternative exists for $100 less.

Beautiful, thin, light hardware, Water-resistant and dust-proof, Colorful, adaptive display, FFC delivers solid video-calling experience, Tight integration with Sony products and services
Stock software lags periodically, Battery life could be better, Speakers could be louder, Android tablet ecosystem remains underwhelming,
The Xperia Tablet Z is still very much a ten-inch Android tablet, with all the failings of that platform in that form factor. Most egregiously: the app situation is still mediocre , with popular titles like Twitter and Facebook built for smartphones and...
I like the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, but it’s mainly the hardware that elicits this reaction. This tablet feels amazing in the hands. It’s slim, light, and perfectly balanced. This is a 10-inch tablet that I can actually use comfortably when I’m not just s...
Tough and lightweight design, reasonable performance, decent screen
Average battery life, poor cameras, not the latest version of Android

Amazingly thin and light design, Water resistant, Built-in remote control, Excellent battery life
A bit pricey for the specs, Tinny audio
The Xperia Tablet Z packs a ton of features and excellent battery life into an impossibly thin and light design, making it one of the most compelling Android tablets yet....
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z features the most impressive design we have seen to date. its most significant benefit is the thin and light form factor, packaged in an elegant -but tough- body. The battery life is excellent and the performance is really good fo...
Slimmest and lightest 10” tablet, Waterproof chassis, Fourspeaker system with virtual surround modes, Infrared sensor turns the tablet into remote control
Sony's interface overlay feels a bit sloppy at times
Sony succeeded in making the thinnest and lightest 10” Android tablet waterproof, and added four virtual surround speakers to all the prerequisites for a modern flagship tablet like high-resolution display and a quad-core processor. We'd wish the proce...
Very flat and light, Dust and water resistant, High performance, Numerous wireless communication options, Appealing display, Viable main camera
Middle-of-the-road stability, Weak front camera, Speakers crackle at full volume
Already headed well in the right direction The pre-series of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z.In our verdict about Sony's pre-series device we wrote "The test device Sony lent us from the pre-series certainly whet our appetite." We would like to have seen improve...
