The editors didn't like
Middle-of-the-road stability
Weak front camera
Speakers crackle at full volume
Sony's interface overlay feels a bit sloppy at times
Many of the applications that Sony packaged are overkill
Comes with an older version of Android—and you never know when the next software update will be
Ugly
The camera takes awful pictures
Doesn't currently run the latest version of Android
Covers for ports seem flimsy and likely to break off
$499 price a premium compared to alternatives like Nexus 10 or Kindle Fire HD
Display doesn't match the pixel density of competi
$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
Design is clean but a little dull
Feels delicate. Slow
Somewhat finicky charging. Mediocre battery life
A bit pricey for the specs
Tinny audio
Weak addon software
Limited connectivity options
Poor sound quality
Waterproof design requires covers on every input
Rubberized back gets fingerprinty
Micro-USB port cover dangles awkwardly when open
Average battery life
Poor cameras
Not the latest version of Android
Screens coloring is off
Everything goes haywire when really wet
$500 for an Android tablet is hard to justify
Runs older version of Android
Google Play store lacks tablet app selection of iPad

Fast processor, excellent screen, very slim and light, water and dust resistant, quality cameras
Camera has no flash
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is a top-quality tablet at price that's reasonable, if not exactly a bargain. It's extremely thin and lightweight and has one of the best screens around, not to mention probably the best camera available on a tablet, even if it'...

Brilliant slim and light design, Excellent display, Powerful processor, Solid build, dust and water resistant
More expensive than the Nexus 10
In terms of its physical design, the Xperia Tablet Z is the best and most practical Android tablet I've ever looked at. It's light enough to take anywhere, and powerful enough to cope with almost anything you might throw at it. The screen, while not a wi...
Great LCD display; MicroSDXC support up to 64GB ; LTE (optional), NFC and USB OTG ; Waterproof; Sony has included some nice Android tweaks.
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
Sony has nailed it with the redesigned tablet. The performance and features are worth the iPad-equivalent pricing. However, we just can't help feel that the Tablet Z isn't going to be as widely adopted as it should be....

The display is a little warm, older version of Android
