available. Built from quality
materials and featuring the same stunning OmniBalance design as its smartphone sibling,
Xperia Tablet Z is also incredibly slim and lightweight at 6.9mm and 495g. Available in
black or white and in LTE and WiFi versions, it is the first tablet to run on Qualcomm(R)
Snapdragon(TM) S4 Pro asynchronous quad core processor and has the highest levels of water
resistance (IP55 & IP57) ever delivered in a tablet, making it immune to accidental spills
and splashes.***
"Xperia Tablet Z sets new standards in entertainment by matching premium
specifications and Sony technology with cross-device connectivity and a consistent
user-experience," said Kaz Tajima, Corporate Vice President, Head of UX Creative Design
and Planning, at Sony Mobile Communications. "Xperia Tablet Z reinforces our intention to
be a leading player in the premium Android device market, by building on the principles
established by Xperia Z and perfectly optimising them for the tablet form factor."
Integrated Sony Technology
Xperia Tablet Z includes the very best of Sony technology. With a 10.1" HD WUXGA
Display, powered by Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2, it delivers enhanced colour reproduction for a
brilliant TV-like viewing experience. It also draws upon Sony's camera expertise with an
8MP rear camera featuring "Exmor R for mobile" as well as a 2MP HD front-facing camera for
capturing the best images in any condition. Sony's S-Force Front Surround 3D, guarantees
soul-shaking audio performance alongside Sony's Clear Audio+ mode and the innovative use
of two in-built speakers with four 'speaker halls' on the left and right corners delivers
amazing sound no matter how it is held. Xperia Tablet Z also includes Battery STAMINA
mode, Sony's unique battery management technology that can significantly improve standby
time. The WiFi variant also offers up to 64GB of storage with an optional mircoSD card.
Seamless One-touch Connectivity

includes Sony's One-Touch functions that let users transfer content seamlessly from HD
tablet

to TV, tablet to speaker or
phone to tablet just by touching them together. One-touch functions are a key component of
Sony's device range this year and no other consumer electronics company is bringing as
many NFC-enabled products to market. The tablet's Universal IR Remote allows users to
control the TV and other Sony devices - as well as products from other manufacturers -
directly from the tablet placing the device at the heart of the home. TV SideView is a new
application that gives users an entirely new way to interact with the TV.****
