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
Tough and lightweight design, reasonable performance, decent screen
Average battery life, not the latest version of Android
An ultra-lightweight, slim yet rugged tablet that offers reasonable performance, but is let down slightly by superfluous software changes....

With the arrival of the incredibly priced Nexus 7 and 10, the game has changed for Android tablets, but Sony seems to have received the memo, scrunched it into a ball and eaten it, never to mention its existence again. If your heart is set on a Sony tab...

Abstract: Sony doesn’t have much of a pedigree when it comes to tablets – but to be fair nor does anyone outside of Apple.The Xperia Tablet Z is a surprisingly focused device from Sony, and a pretty good indicator of where new CEO Kaz Hirai is taking the company.Fo...
Extremely slim and light, Fast processor and graphics, Vibrant screen with good viewing angles
Ports behind fiddly flaps, Screen not as sharp as cheaper Nexus 10, Limited tablet apps compared to iOS
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is a very good tablet - there's no doubting that. It's fast, has a good screen and is very thin and light. But it does no single thing appreciably better than its immediate rivals, and its unique features fall a little flat....
Impressively slim and light; Gorgeous screen; Quad core power; Superior tablet camera
Battery drain; Pricey
Sony’s Xperia Tablet Z is a masterpiece of engineering, more slender than most modern smartphones and undeniably desirable. The quad-core processor ensures everything runs with buttery smoothness and the HD screen is a great way to take in movies, website...

Awkward, angular design, Average battery, Poor camera, Charging takes forever
We couldn't wait to get our greasy mitts on the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, having been teased ever since it was unveiled. But we didn't go into it blindly - so often, we've waited for the next big thing, only to feel that sense of 'meh' almost immediately. We...

Abstract: That's not just because the Tablet Z is waterproof – you really can drop it in the bath and then use it with wet fingers – or because it can take full advantage of the Android operating system. It's rather because Sony is making a real attempt to produ...
