Sony Xperia Tablet Z LTE - User Reviews

  • Why sar value too high. Is it safe

  • Sir why no Calling function what is this ??

  • android oreo can be bootloaded

  • it can be but better off on 4.3 or 4.4 S4pro is obsolete even my SP stucks on JB final

  • by any chance is possible that the Japan version SO - 03E upgradable to any latest Android OS at least Android lollipop??

  • Best tablet ever, awesome device

  • I bought mine in 2014 and it has been one of the best and most reliable devices I have owned. It is still working fine, although i need it less due to the way the tech environment is evolving. But still fabulous, convenient when traveling (great battery lifetime) Two weaknesses, the audio port, easy to lever force on the jack and dismount the internal connection. As the tablet is sealed, you are trounced. But in my case I was able to apply pressure and luckily it went back into place and I never used the audio jack since then. Same with the SIM card slot. Very fragile arrangement... in my case finally after almost 4 years something got stuck whilst changing a SIM and now it is a non-LTE version but still very handy.

  • How can I make calls with so-03e

  • How I miss mine, just dropped it and screen cracked, so no touch activity. Beware the screen is and all in one meaning there is no glass and LCD screen, its one and the same. Cost to repair, the price of a new tablet. RIP.

  • Even after 3 years its running smoothly without any problems. Only issue is - no further updates after lollipop. It is possible to call using jio4gvoice, but recommend that not to use it for calling. Better use it as tablet rather than a calling machine.

  • How do I insert a sim card

  • Hi. I have xperia tablet z. It is a good tablet and i ove it but please tell me how to call from it?

  • Changing screen is a big cost and that too original will be costlier. Forget about changing it. I will try to use it with jio sim and see if it works for calling purpose.

  • I have it, I love it after inserting jio 4g sim working very good and after installing jio 4g voice app from store it works like a phone I call by it audio and video both at home Screen badly cracked of my tab but works with mouse smoothly Help about screen if anyone can Rajendra Singh 65yrs, Lucknow

  • Maybe you upgraded to a firmware compatible only with the 16GB version. Try flashing a version for your model via sony flashtool program. Hope this helps.

  • Mine is 32gb. Japan version

  • Is this for real ? What about skipping 4.4 to 5.1.1 ? Would it be better ?

  • just got this tablet z and now with android 4.2.2 (upgraded once) after reading many comments, please let me know which android version is the best for this tablet z one particular comment said 4.3 is the best; is it true? what about 5.1.1 ?

  • I dont think there is Tablet Z with internal memory of 32 GB. It comes equipped with 16 GB only.

  • any one please tell me that which sony tablet and sony mobile supports psp games , any sony tablet or phone supports psp games or there are some specific versions , i am interested to kn ow thanks ........................

  • can someone help me. i have sony xperia tablet z SO-03E 4.1.2 jelly bean (32gig) after updating to lolipop 5.1.1 the internal storage became 11gig. please help.

  • You can but not directly from ap

  • This is a 10 inch tablet. You cannot use it as phone. The only reason for the integrated SIM card is for using internet on the tablet, e.g. email, web browser.

  • sir i have a problem i do not have a phone app on my tablet to recharged airtime or even dial phone numbers is there anything i can do about it and more over it can not download some apps from the googleplay

  • I bought it when it came out. I am very happy and satisfied with it. Recommended definitely.

  • Reset your tablet

  • The CPU in this tablet is Snapdragon S4 PRO, not Snapdragon 600.

  • Go to xda website to know how to troubleshoot issues with this tablet. You should probably reflash your ROM.

  • Hi Guys I updates the latest software 5.0.2 and the wifi doesn't seem to work any ideas how to fix this???

  • Hi guys, How can I turn it back to Android 4.4.4? Lollipop messed up my Xperia Tablet Z, camera not working, Only one position for display in auto rotate, Battery life reduced. Please help

  • How to make icons smaller?

  • You can made icons smaller on Lollipop

  • bought this adorable tab on nov 17, 2013 ..using it for almost 2 years, it's still working very fine.. i really2 love this tab! THE BEST TAB EVER! for some reasons i don't like the updated lollipop, plus the icon is too big :/

  • Very nice tab.updated to 5.02 lolipop.gud battery.gud performance

  • Go to Settings>About Tablet>Software Update

  • Seems to be fine the upgrade took a while but worth it.

  • Updated the XTZ to Lollipop, but after update Wifi stopped working (wifi radio could not be switched on). I did Factory reset to make it work again. This update seems to be fluid as of now, one significant flaw is that the Tab now takes more than 12 hours to get fully charged.

  • How to uptade lollipop?

  • I've done the Lollipop update on my Z LTE, and it's working beautifully. I'm in South Africa.

  • I did the update to lollipop 5.0 on my experia phone and it is better

  • i want to buy sony xperia tab z . Can anybody suggest how is that . There performance :. Quality . Etc . U can also adovice me on my gmail id . A and plz plz plz tell me about direct wifi . What is direct wifi ?

  • MUST READ FOR XPERIA TABLET Z OWNERS : Those having screen flickering problems : - Goto settings > About tablet > Tap 7 times on Build Number (this unlocks developer options) - Now goto settings > developer options > CHECK ' Disable HW overlays - Screen Flickering is fixed! People asking how to make SIM Call from this Tablet : -Although this Tablet has LTE and supports SIM it DOESNOT support GSM and therefore you can NOT make regular phone call from this tablet. Theres an unofficial way which is quite risky and might not even work or it may force you to factory reset.So its for advanced users only. If you still wanna go ahead and do it (unofficial) heres the XDA link : People asking if they should upgrade to KitKat : -In my opinion, its not worth it. Kitkat is a pain in the arse and its way TOO BUGGY for use. It lags and is really slow and annoying. -The kitkat update doesnt really have any important additions in it either other than new Android Version so you probably SHOULD NOT UPDATE. -Jellybean 4.3 is much more stable and lag-free so go for 4.3 instead. Contact me on fb.com/greethug if you have any other problems. :)

  • Anyone know any "jailbreak" outthere that can enable the voice call communication feature?

  • 1tb external hdd or 500gb ex. is compatible with this tablet z for watching movies plz help

  • try your volume buttons together with the power button

  • Hi, after I updated to the 4.3 the camera stopped working. Prompted camera not available

  • My power button is not working. How to reboot it? Or how to solve the problem, please let me kno.

  • dude get some third party players from play store(ex:mx or dice)and while on the way 2 stream from a browser set ur stream player as mx or dice from prompt:)

  • I found the tablet z to be a brilliant machine, Easy in the hands you dont get any accidental touching of the screen with the feature of the wider edges which i found really benificial. If you like gaming its perfect anything from racing games to first person shooters. The designe is sleek and extreamly portable, Not found anyproblems in regards to handeling. HD movies are brilliant on a 10.1" screen super crisp and clear no blur. Perfect. The water Proof feature was great aswell first thing i did when i got it was put it under a tap, Really impressed. All in all its a fantastic bit of tech that i think would be great in anyones hands. 10/10

  • I 'm not comment to tablet z lte but my question is how can I play live streaming using my z ultra which java not support.Notification displayed media player not support this device.Pls help me.Tq

  • i ve been trying to make calls with it as i also wanted to use it as my second phone..really gutted that it dosnt make calls

  • New Sony Xperia tablet for 2014, need to be minimaly 12 inch and should this elementary specs : 1.Display.- 12 inch - IGZO TFT - Triluminos, X-Reality 2.Memory.- 3 or 4 GB RAM 3.Chipset.- Snapdragon 805 (64-bit) 4.Camera.- Primary 5MP & Secondrary 2 MP 60-fps

  • great! but heavy & expensive company has to make that kind of rates for it like people prefers it then any optional for it

  • True that hey I've tried but it doesn't make calls

  • True that hey I've tried but it doesn't make calls

  • Some of you are being very silly with your comments, you are comparing a sony tablet that was released in May 2013 with tablets that have been released more recently which are obviously going to have more upto date specs, please be a little more sensible when you make your comments.

  • can a stylus/pen be used for writing on this TAB?? jst like on xperia z ultra???

  • can a stylus/pen be used for writing on this TAB..?? jst like on xperia z ultra... ???

  • I like everything about the tab except two features. I don't know why Sony does this, but they create an amazing shape, all amazing features, camera, dust/water-proofing, great sound, display, anything you can think of...but they go low on the things that may really matter to a buyer. For example, the USB port is 2.0. Why? Who uses 2.0 now? Fine, I'll go with the 2.0 technology. I'll bare the pain of waiting a little longer when transferring data at a lower speed. But what about the chipset? Why a lower quality chipset than that of a Lumia 2520? Even when Sony costs way more than the Lumia? Anyone who wants to know the details can do a comparison between the two chipsets and you'll know what I'm talking about. I'd want to hear from Sony themselves on this one. I've been noticing them doing this in a lot of their devices, including phones. Which is making it really difficult for me to stick to Sony; for which, by the way, I'm known as the brand ambassador among my friends due to my every phone and most devices being from Sony. I'm getting disappointed :(

  • Nice but i think samsung galaxy note 2014 better than this Because samsung's gpu is better, ram better, screen resolution better, cpu's better

  • nice device like and its one of best of smart devices agreed

  • wow..i love the design

  • HOLD UP! Sony just released a new VAIO TABLET running on windows?! It makes the Xperia Z look ancient with its killer specs & new os. Still not shore wat 2 buy?? Lol!!!

  • Xperia Tablet Z Ultra coming soon?

  • yeah, I agre. but weak on touchscreen. XD

  • I'm waiting for Tablet Z Ultra, will be the best tablet ever

  • Sony : fast and furious , Samsung : copy/ copy , Apple : just 1GB of RAM, Dual-core processor.

  • I bought the Tablet Z, and must say is a good device. But never think you can make voice call with this. Nothing could beat this piece if it wasn't For the inability to make calls. If you need a tablet that can make calls look elsewhere. Sony you are a disappointment to me and all others.

  • Most of the sony device have a problem with their touchscreen. hope SONY do something about this problem. I just notice the weakness of those brand. SONY = Weak on Touchscreen, APPLE = Speed and Performance SAMSUNG = Quality based on my observation :D no offense as what we said. each brand has its own weakness. :D

  • so you're the next steve jobs lol

  • Which tab would u sugest

  • Hi,dears.I studied all newly made sony tablets including this one!With ultimate disappointment I should say that sony doesn,t care about qualities anymore!Buying this tablet and the others is just waste of money and time!I even put a finger on a positive point!?Sony one was sony and number one in the world!But now I don,t know what has happened to it that makes these boxes!?I hope once more they re-consider their performances and read opinions,comments,etc.here and see their products designs,features,and performances on this trustable factwriting site,if they really care!!!?Hopefully listening!!!?Time shows!

  • Yes, of course. Via usb otg cable. Wireless keyboard supported

  • buy this tab

  • Can I connect external Keyboard?

  • Calling >> NO Texting >> Yes

  • yeah sometimes it's happen to me .. but I think this is because the high sensitivity of the screen .. ensure that you clean your screen and your problem will be solved.

  • I just downloaded FIFA 2014 and played on this tab .. it's Cool Also .. this tab has PS3 certified .. so you can connect your wireless dualshock PS3 ( joystick ) you can use it to play games on this tab .. it's amazing.

  • This tablet doesn't support GSM voice communication at all. you can't make a regular call using this tab only you can make VOIP calls using applications such as Viber , Skype .. etc

  • what a cell yar nise .........................

  • I'm a Sony Xperia user and I may be biased but I would go for this one instead of Asus' Nexus 7 2gen tablet. I know this unit is much expensive than the Nexus 7 2gen and has a lower OS version(v4.1.2, Nexus 72nd gen is 4.3) but its worth it. Whats more, the Nexus 7 2nd gen has several issues such as multitouch issues(even with the android build update JSS15Q didnt resolved it) and the Netflix error which is giving the users problem connecting to net via WiFi. Go for this Tablet.

  • need little more patience.... definetly xperia z tablet is my tablet soon..........

  • i think you could buy 2013 Nexus 7. it's the best... Do you agree????

  • you hate apple so much you're blinded by your fanboyism. i'm an android user only on phones, but when it comes to tablets' no other brands comes close to apple's ipad. generic chinese clones? how about find me a chinese tablet running ios so your argument could be valid.

  • But if u set ipad4 to maximum bright, it will last only an hour. Sorry, as I said, ipad4 is just a rebranded China generic, not the other way around, as claimed. Those alleged clones are actually OEM and apple is just one vendor. Thats life in China.

  • Ur display settings in xperia tab z is set to max, and not set to adaptive.tab z is 1080p so it uses a lot of power, tradeof of beauty to power. IPad4 last a day because its only 640p, yes only 640 pixel regardless of apple claims because sharp supplies foxconn with 640 PIXEL display used in ipad4, and that is if your eyes could last a minute with its blurred and evening display. In Sony setting click display and set brightness to adaptive, click or check. For iPad4 users, set to maximum in order to be at least readable and used it under good lighting conditions, remember apple is just a rebranded China generic.

  • Is the fonction telehonie available in sony xperia z tablet??

  • Dear connect the tab with PC and run the the repair via PC Companion,will be helpfull

  • YES it Can!

  • it is because you upgraded to unofficial OS update

  • YOur problem can be solved. Use Android or iOS based smartphone to CREATE WIFI hotspot, then you'll be able to use your tablet everywhere since you'll have a WIFI router in your pocket

  • can the tablet call

  • Dude you cant blame Sony for receiving a wrong tablet that was ordered. Blame the supplier and the person who bought it for you.....

  • The tab is great, but I am terribly disappointed that I did not receive what was ordered for. I live in Sierra Leone and made a friend buy the tab for me in the US because I liked the tab. I was specific about having one that uses a SIM because WiFi services are terribly poor in my country. My friend requested specifically for the Xperia Tab z that uses a SIM and was told, that was what will be shipped to him. He received a tab that is WiFi only and sent it to me in Sierra Leone. I am now terribly limited in the use of the tablet. I feel terrible about this and would like Sony to advise me on what to do. The tablet was bought in August 2013

  • Anyone knows about Navigation icon in sony xperia z ? I just bought few days ago.. suddenly it is disappear. I couldn't find Navigation icon anymore.

  • it works even better sony just went to the next level

  • thanks for ur advice,,,,,,,,

  • I have this tablet but when I update it to android 4.2.2 to many problems show one of the problems is the tab open some app in a random way such as camera and take some pic by it self . and also open the Google play store , and some time when I am reading books it close the reading app . anybody have the same issue ? note I live in ( middle east ).thanks

  • would like to know can i make phone calls and recieved phone calls with the sony xperia z tab? and also are a able to watch dstv mobile on the tab ?????

  • It could be fake

  • hey, just wanna ask you guys... are these specs fake?? cuz i got one for myself and the battery only can last for 1 day... can someone explain it to me why my Xperia Tablet Z's battery easily run out?? thanks for advance... :)

  • Surely unlike the other tabs,the Sony xperia tablet z is one among the best.

  • Mine is different, if i am using my xperia, all the apple will switch off. so what i did is to throw all those mac book ipad iphones in the trash because they are all trash aniways.

  • Android 4.2.2 update definitely ruined user experience. Navigation buttons moved to center on tablet? Is SONY kidding? This is not a phone. Also previously convenient controls from notification bar - disappeared, furthermore, notifications bar also moved to top. No convenient brightness and conectivity controls.

  • I'm facing lot of issues with wifi signal strength. for example: if I place my laptop, Ipod, Ipad and Sony tab, sony is the one which gets least of the signal and moreover, signal keep on drooping and surprising my all other device works perfectly at the same at the same time.

  • You mentioned WMV. My Sony Tablet Z (rev.5) does not support WMV. I mean that its default movie player cannot play WMV files. Additional video player is required, for example, MX player. According to its own power control software (in the power settings) it can drain full battery for 3 days in the sleep mode. It seems buttery soft is not correct (it shows 3% decreasing after 7 hours of power-Off!!! 1240 hours in this specs look like for flight and "not touch tablet" mode ;-) There is preinstalled SonySelect app on the Tablet. It points to the play market aps "selected" by Sony. From the recommended list I get interest for only one. But when I try to get it (right from SonySelect) the Play Market says that it is not compatible to my device. Bravo Sony!!! If you want light, beauty and USELESS tablet then Sony Tablet Z is right for you )))

  • does it has it's own stylus

  • This is a tablet with no gsm voice calls/communication. ... that means you cabt make phone calls

  • all options are available @ one and only tab sony..very good performing

  • Is this thing waterproof?

  • Can it make and receive calls via bluetooth headset?

  • How about if I have a bluetooth headset can i make or receive calls?

  • No

  • Can I make/ recieve calls in this tablet?

  • I've owned 3 different types of tablet over the last few years and this Z is by far the best overall experience I've had. Battery is better than the last iPad I had, docking station is a great attachment, looks top class. This is the kind of device I like having around me... Take my hat off to Sony.

  • So far after using it for 3 weeks, there's no problem. The wifi on my tablet received strong signal even far from router. I used this tablet for gaming and for doing my work. For gaming, there's no lag even for heavy graphic games. For battery used, for heavy usage it can last for 3 days. The best tablet compared to others. Didn't regret buying this tablet.

  • For sure tablet z wireless is great No issue at all

  • The best tablet and nothing can compare . get from Vodafone with the best network.

  • Hi, everybody. I've recently read certain comments on this website indicating that this tablet's Wi-Fi had turned out weak and its wireless signal continually fluctuates even in short distances. I'd really appreciate it if anyone let me know his/her hands-on experience respecting this technical aspect of the device. Thanks in advance for your sympathetic considerations.

  • You should have aced it if you had built it with led fla shlight

  • Why not install the LED flash.?

  • It can sms , it has a SMS service bulit in it .

  • Dose it suport Java? My tablet wont download it!!! I need help =)

  • cane we use gps locator even without wifi and sim?

  • this tablet can sms? i ask dealer, their say can't sent sms and also call. it's true.

  • What kind of question is that? Yes, you can install apps. Theres literally been no new phone/tab the last 5 years where you cant install apps.

  • So easy to test if you can call or not. First, its an Android OS. its competitor xxxxx tablet 2 10. can make calls because you can install the application whatsapp. Why? Because once you install you kust verofy your number and they will send an sms to your device which you must confirm by reading the sms, copy the veirification code and put it into whatsapp to verify. You can install whatsapp on the bitten fruit mobile device but not on its pad (tablet). Whay is that? Because you can't receive and send a sms from there while on its archrival tablet you can. Just test it out. Install whatsapp if you know the number of your SIM card and see if you get a sms. If yes, then the keypad for making a call is hidden somewhere. Cheers

  • Hi guys my touch screen is not soft what I must to do? Help please

  • There is not any document editor in specifications!! It does not have realy? big defect for such a lovely tab. Is that possible to instal above apps like polaris office or quick office to cover such uses? I'm waiting for that to be available in Iran.

  • Me Too :)

  • Please the Sony xperia tablet zLTE has been my dream tablet ever since I discovered its existence. Can anyone tell me when it will be available in Nigeria cos that's where I reside. I would really love to get this tablet.

  • hi, I was wondering if tablet Xperia Z (LTE Version) will be available in White color ?

  • if i could have one of this...

  • Yes I'm. Infact a lot, I keep my laptop, Ipod, Phone & Tablet at the same place & out of all tablet is the one which gets the least signal & moreover its goes ON/OFF, whereas, all other works perfectly fine. Does not sees a problem with Wifi range as well, as other device are working perfectly.

  • Thank you very much for the answer !!

  • The Tablet have no support for GSM voice communication.

  • How to make calls from Xperia Tablet Z LTE ?? Please answer anybody knows abt this !!

  • I have no issue with the wifi. What issue did you encountered?

  • hi, have you faced any issue with wifi signal strength ?

  • hi, I was wondering if tablet Xperia Z (LTE Version) will be available in White color ?

  • this tablets is awaresome, easy to carry and weight as well is good.

  • I'm using this tablet for a week now. No problem so far.

  • Did anyone faced any problem related to with wifi signal strength with this device ??

  • Is anyone faced some issues with the wifi signal strength on this ??

  • 5 ***** to this tablet z Weldon SONY

  • 5 ***** to this tablet z Weldon SONY

  • Or the Sony Xperia Z Ultra.

  • I hate guys like u who ask for d whole world to b put in a device. It is primarily designed as a tablet not a phone for calls. U want a damn large screen phone, go buy a Samsung Mega 6.3 then and stop complaining.

  • It doesn't matter if it's 1080p. Samsung has 7 to 10 inch tablets that can make calls and sms. The XZ tablet can only do sms. Would it make more sense for Sony to add a phone function even via bluetooth or via speakers?

  • I recently bought it. it is a great tablet. thanks Sony and welcome back

  • just to add up aboout Tegra.. Tegra has a poor battery management...go for the SnapDragon..i'll go with SoNy!!! :)

  • - The tablet is absolutely feature-rich both in terms of hardware and software. - It's waterproof. - It supports 3G/4G data and text messaging (just like most 3g dongles) but for calls you'll have to use Viber/Skype or similar. - Supports class 10 microsdhc ultra cards and pen drives through OTG adapter. - The display is sharp and vivid. - I ran most benchmark tests available and this was the android tablet that came on top. There were mobile phones with better benchmark scores but no tablets. - IR Remote app covers almost every TV model available. You can develop a custom remote too. - If you like the tablet, go for it. Cons: - Still camera performance is not as good as advertised. No flash. - Wifi performance is a bit sluggish. Hopefully this should get fixed in the coming 4.2 update. - Charger cable is short. You can find it compared with Nexus 10 and iPad here:

  • All Tegra3 devices are stuttering in for example browsing, and freezing for a second on very simple tasks like text input. By far the worst chipset Ever made, possible Tegra4 will be worse. Asus tablets like tf300 are useless due to the extreme stuttering, even seriously underpowered tablets like galaxy tab 2 are much smoother.

  • joss , i like it.....

  • tegra 3 sux, man. this coming from me, a hox owner. let me give you an advise: go for Snapdragon 600 or 800. those get better support from Qualcomm than Tegra from nVidia.

  • Google is coming with android 4.2 to destroy this tablet's wonderful UI. Beware!! A taste of things to come:

  • if sony is great than asus i will support and choose sony! Many people say asus tegra 3 is lag on texting n i don't know about z. But i really choose graphic display which enhance my eyes and satisfy myself. I really choose asus of the tegra 3 and wait for tegra 4. Many comment about z is the display is not bright where in the sun so i thumbsup for my asus. But due the chipset of z is snapdragon and go high in ppi although it can't possible tegra will be defeated by snapdragon like a joke never pretend its qualitines i go to sony!

  • sony are just being unrealistic by making tabs that works with no sim and also wont work in most continents like africa and the rest.all their tabs makes no sense to me.soits better they step up

  • yup it does, however i have a comment about it, i am very old fashioned about USB drives, is there a way to set it so i can use the old "remove USB drive" thingy on the windows menu, i somehow feel unsafe by just plug - unplug it to the computer, i know is a nice feature, but as mentioned i am old fashioned, i tried the USB mass storage option on the settings menu, but it still behaves with the USB OTG settings, any ideas? or am i just being clumsy by wanting such an old feature?

  • No bashing - deliberately and repeatedly bashing the same brand No trolling - deliberately antagonizing other brand/model users Read before you post. Search before you post.

  • i would love to see xperia tablet z with tegra 4 which give a better experience in gaming. and i would be ok too if i have to wait tegra 4 on it a little bit longer . *fingers crossed but they can't change it now. btw is s4 pro fine for gaming?

  • get out of this forum Samsung bot

  • No 1080p tablets on the market can make gsm calls or sms. Only Asus have it... and one is a transformer/with keyboard the other one is phone/tablet hybrid. Both quite expensive.

  • nice tab best of sony

  • Beware of Sony specification most of the phones is not correct, my Xperia SL is only 70% of what they have. Try before buy

  • Not all gadget with sim can call and send sms. example is the ipad. >.

  • yes it does support USB OTG

  • It does have sms. No calls like phones . You can call contacts using third party apps.

  • can it support USB on the go?????!

  • No it doesn't. Atleast not this version.

  • correct bro...

  • It Has A SIM.. Didn't you red it first??

  • It has a sim... So it has phone functionality.. LOL

  • does it have phone functionality? (call and sms)

  • will the tablet available in india? when? @ what price?

  • The price in Dubai Tablet z 16 gb wifi only 550 $ Tablet z 32 gb wifi only 660 $ Tablet z 16 gb (4g) lte version 685 $

  • yes you can use 3 g

  • I think apple i pad is more good compared to tablet x

  • please gsmarena compare this with the Xperia tablet S since both are quad-core cpus, thanks.

  • Thanks kambie

  • specs are good but 1 lbs is quite heavy. . .

  • @zam: tats nt d prob to use 3g

  • yep, it's work on 3g too

  • Please can any one tell me that if i bought tablet 4g . So i can use 3g or no.thanks

  • Please i want to know if i bought sony tablet 4g i can use it for 3g network or no

  • As a matter of fact you need to re-read my comment. When the hell on earth did I mentioned that the configuration is worth INR 10000 or less. Perhaps you need to enhance your understanding. What I wanted to say was the price has been overstated by INR 5000-7000 in my opinion hereby implying that effective price should have been INR 35000-37000. P.S.: Think and analyse before you reply

  • Re read the post bro, he said 5-7k less, which means 5-7k lesser then the launch price.

  • Would you really rate the configuration below Rs. 10,000 ? You need to re-read the specs. TC

  • Wow! Proably the best looking tablet thus far! And it's almost 200 grams lighter than the iPad 4G! Keep up the great work Sony!!! Woot.

  • The tablet is available on ebay.in for INR 42417...As per my reckoning, this is not the pricetag I was expecting...Probably INR 5000-7000 less would have been a fair deal

  • The LTE version is being launched in India for INR 44500, nearly US$800.

  • In Sony India website, they have listed the LTE version only. The WIFI-only version is not available. So that's market dependent.

  • I have a question, in the sony official site, there's no tablet with 3g/4g, we can just pre-order a tablet without this feature , how you guys buy this tablet with 4g? (I'm so sorry that my question is simple but I'm really confused :| )

  • GSMARENA please review this Tablet!! I heard this tablet already sold out accross Europe

  • I have just recieved my New 2013 Sony Xperia Z 10.1 Tablet and can say without fear or favour this is the best tablet on the market, packet with enough features to please everyone. The Sony technical experts have created a superb tablet that outstrips all competitors. Forget the rest if you want the very best buy this tablet.

  • It's About a Week I take my Sony Xperia Tablet Z Comparing it to Z and ZL however the thing which makes them similar are it seems to be a elongated version of Xperia Z This Big Guy Is Bit Back in Feature Comparatively One step Back On Features And Performence And I Completely Disagree with the Voting However a Lot Of Them Are Just Unaware of it It's Protection is Is as that of Xperia Z but the Visual Experience is better However The Tablet is All of All Just Good And the Disply Engines Adreno 320 GPU makes the Gameplays Experience Another complain is that The Updates are too late It uses Android 4.1.2 and is Just sick And they Are Upgradeable Man And this Giant requires an Dual Quad-core engine And A LTE network This Corrections May Create a Masterpiece in SONY.....However Good luck With Upcoming Models..

  • xperia tablet z has an IR port for remote control capability.. and better screen than the phone..you can also use it for sms. no hardware for calling...

  • does this tablet can make a call like a normal phone do?

  • finally : no gsm phone----no sony xperia z tab.

  • Actually having 221ppi is not bad. On a macbook pro 13.3 with Retina display the ppi is 227 your HDTV is large so you compare size to pixel ratio..... The bigger the size the lesser the pixel density and vice versa

  • Ur only complaint about this device is its ppi of 200+. What is d ppi of ur hd tv. It's not even up to 100. y don't u complain about that. Folks like u just complain about certain specs without understand how they relate with certain other features. Yes d tablet z has less ppi, but It's on a larger screen, so it won't matter, just like ur hd tv. Ur 42 inch hd tv has 52 ppi, and ur 50 inch has 44 ppi, but have u ever complained about it?. Stop whining about the tabs resolution. If u don't like it, then wait till they start making 10 inch screens with 500 ppi (which ain't gonna happen).

  • awesome specs ! Both hardware and software. Three cheers for sony !!

  • hey man its supported with PlayStation soft and hardwarre

  • I own the z phone, am very happy with it, the form factor is slightly smaller then note2, larger then iPhone, not too big to feel ashamed in public, not small to use glasses, but what am worried about the tablet z is its display!!, you gave me a z phone with 400 odd pixels per inch, but you decided to release a tablet with 200 odd pixels per inch how come???, apart from that, there are virtually "0", phones and tablets that can swim in water, Sony rocks, been a Sony ericsson fan from 2005, used almost all SonyEricsson and Sony phones, if you ask me, Sony can be compared to Apple interms of product quality, hell, the tv I grew up watching was a Sony tv bought by my dad in 1986(imported to India from Dubai), I just love Sony and they have never let me down.

  • i don't even have its little brother, so i'm going to get iphone 5 as my primary phone,and this is better than xz(in appearance 'cause it's slimmer and has larger screen) and also ipad4. :3

  • Can I connect to Wi fi with the LTE mode?

  • Please read this about this product

  • If we buy a Sony Xperia Z smart phone,its better than this tablet. Easy to carry and its cheaper than xperia z tablet and what is the use of this tablet ?? Nothing can do greater than xperia Z smart phone. Only difference is simply wasting your money. Nothing else. JUST THINK FELLAS. DON'T BE A FOOLISH..

  • They come up with something as kick-ass as this and delay the launch forever until it becomes obsolete. What a way to waste a product.

  • when will it become available globally? especially in southeast asia, couldnt wait anymore... :O

  • Sony is selling xperia tablet Z in japan for 59800 yen(32 gb model) i.e $613.67(approx)

  • This tablet is so cool and nice it runs all game smooth it won't even lag :D

  • awesome, that is the best tablet i've ever seen

  • I don't have any experience with this phone. but maybe this is possible to call. I mean what happens if you install the "Phone" app exported from the original XPERIA Z!

  • I think this tablet can make calls unofficially because it have the same network connectivity as the Xperia Z. Remember Nexus 7 Cellular version? That tablet can make calls unofficially. Someone with this Tablet Z please try it.

  • The tablet does not support voice communication, as the "phone" app is missing. You can text from it, but no dialling support. It could be software limited, but yet again, the original software does not allow you to make GSM/3G calls.

  • please re-read some words around the tittle "Tablet with no support for GSM voice communication". Im just wondering how did you so sure know that tablet z is supports a phone call? did u already have it now? O_O

  • GENERAL 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 LTE 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 SIM Micro-SIM YES HE CAN DO CALLS! -_-

  • no it doesnt support phone calling but you can use some apps like skype, whatsapp, wechatt etc.

  • can we make calls ???

  • wellsaid, absolutely agree.

  • Wow.. ipad4 with the HUGE 11,650mah battery pack mean it's an power hunger device, this also mean, "ipad 4 was NOT A GREEN DEVICE" then. It's going to be a nightmare to our beloved Planet Earth and all the green people, like me. No wonder it's like taking forever to fully charge. 6~7 hours time frame? OMG... It's scary. Please save our Planet Earth. Where is all the apple and it fanboy proclaimed eco system? Dead and gone? Hopefully people don't sell this power demon that much or else it's gonna be a disaster to our beloved Planet Earth. I'll say let's buy Sony, Samsung or any others more planet safe, greener tablets shall we?

  • u want a larger battery capacity , go to get some big powerbank. or u just looking for tablet w/ a big battery capacity. go for a common ipad tablet, or other common tablet. this beauty is an uncommon tablet, this is the only one, and special. different w/ the other. iam going to get this one, and some its accesories(such as pen, keyboard n cover) from ebay. it would be awesome.

  • It is the same battery life dude.... Plus it is water proof.. Plus it is light.. Faster to charge..easy file exchange.... When it comes out I will put my ipad to the ground and uninstall that horrible itunes

  • much thinner tab in world.......................

  • new ipad- 11,650mah battery samsung note 10- 7,000mah battery xperia tablet z- 6,000mah baterry ipad is way better than these tablets when it comes to battery

  • please explain td-lte / fd- lte

  • This is better than ipad4

  • I like to best of sony expiria z

  • can we make calls, with this device?/

  • super mobile inSony xperia z tablet in best of Sony Mobiles I like it Sony Mobiles

  • you can't make phone call with this tablet, but third party apps like Skype and other apps can help you make a call

  • i almost buy the xperia z today, waiting is not feel good anyway. :( i already have xperia sola, n i want a tablet experience. this one sure will be my first tablet. come on sony, ppl want it so bad in the market.

  • This device cannot be used to make a phone call, but you can use it for sms, mms etc.

  • 710 euro? ...=) Oh very cheap.......for bill gates. Anyway for 710 you can have a mediocre phone and a galaxy note 10.1 tablet.

  • no , any android phone which has upgraded above ics can play any videos on youtube n other site. i have a prove that my xperia s can play those videos on youtube.

  • browser : html5. it doesn't adobe flash,. so does it means it doesn't supports flash player? you can't play videos supported by flash then??

  • sony mobile please release it faster, i couldnt waiting for more. my xperia sola isnt good enough to handle much tasks so this x tablet z would be the best one to handle it. :3

  • Dear Donald3789, A SIM whether micro or mini, mentioned in this tablet shows no mistake. Moreover, the SIM can be used here as to catch 800/900/1800/1900 Band 2G frequencies via the SIM and displays the Internet, as done by various GSM modems, that we connect to notebooks, which cannot be used for calling but can be used to surf internet. This too falls under the same category.

  • the tablet is set to launch at the end of may 2013...

  • this one can support phone call ? correct me if wrong. thanks

  • refering the specs above which mentions about the micro sim card which means that it can supoort phone call, isnt it ? thanks for the correction!

  • as sony user since i used my 530i , i will go for it no matter what.

  • 710 Euro :))))))))))))))

  • go straight away with Sony

  • is the price right , 710 EUR for worldwide too?

  • this is the 1st andriod tablet that can compete head to head w/ ipad 4. -225 ppi is acceptable for reading -quadcore 1.5 and adreno 320 - smooth and fast -memory expansion slot - up to 64gig -simcard supports 4g -execellent design -of course since android - no barrier for sharing -able to send sms etc.. useful to register on prepaid internet -i can download files from browser....boooh for ipad

  • Yeah.great tablet from soNy

  • I think sony should release this tablet in India with 3g capability rather than LTE. Because in India 3G is available nt LTE... So it will be better to reduce the price of this tablet and make it 3G only.... 32gb 3g version should be around 24-25k/23-25000inr.... And yes release it soon beacuse its already too late... Thank you

  • Nope its not available on ebay yet.... I think sometime in late april it will b available for preorder on ebay.... '

  • is it really supports sim or not ?

  • Is it available on ebay yet?

  • they should release it fast, i need to buy a tablet next day

  • Wowwwwww.....amazing tablet...superbly designed cool features.....wat will be the price of dis tablet in india???? will be good something around 25000inr.....25k with 3g capability is good price i guess for the competitive market ;)

  • Guys, What do you think is better??? Xperia tablet Z or Note 10.1 ?? Dont want the water proof function. I have a Xperia Z for that. mainly concerned about battery. please tell me your opinions.

  • INDIA: Does this support TD-LTE at 2300MHz? The answer is NO, IT DOES NOT. 2300MHz was the arbitrary wish of Kapil Sibal. Mukesh Ambani and Sunil Mittal suggested TD-LTE instead of FD-LTE because TD-LTE infrastructure equipment is cheap and China made. Let 2 billion lives suffer. Just watch as a spectator. Jai Hind.

  • cooooollllllllllll

  • its very costly.....

  • costly.....soo bad................

  • It is good and fantastic

  • It is good and fantastic

  • cant wait for it to be in my hands.currently im using arc.. its time.. i believe its over sorry baby need to upgrade now...

  • I've heard the S4 processor is outdated? Can someone correct me? It's an impressive work of art, although everything now depends on the battery life, anything less than 7-8 hours would be tad shame. 710Euro? Are you kidding me. It's approx 400-450$ give or take. Was inclined towards buying an iPad 4 for my gaming needs, but I just might wait for this. :)

  • Y do u say don't buy bcos no voice call. It is not a phone pls, u want to make calls, buy a phone. D sim support is for data connection, i.e. for browsing d web using ur sim card.

  • Pls anyone answer my question.....what is non removable battery?? what if battery damages??...do we have a option to put a new battery or it wont support a new battery???

  • Can't wait for it to arrive. Have been using the Xperia Z and it's been a joy so far. Great build quality and stands out from being different from other competitors. Sony managed to pull two out of the bag...

  • It says the frequencies for GSM like any other phone or tablet that supports phone calls but above them says "tablet with no support for GSM voice communication"...it also has GPRS and EDGE available like any other phone or tablet supporting GSM communication...why so controversial?i don't get it...does it support voice calls or not??? o.O

  • cant wait for it to drop. this tablet is something else

  • it is not suitable for indian market for LTE, because in india it is 2300 MHZ, but this band is not there in the list which is mentioned above.

  • don't buy, no voice at so much cost

  • Its a shame it doesn't have call capabilities as its a bit silly having to walk around with both a phone and a tablet. Also why have messaging capabilities and not include voice calls, doesn't make sense, otherwise I would have bought this instead of a phone.

  • Mosts Tablets if not all dont have call functions..

  • Excellent spec, ufortunately no call function

  • apple (iPad 4) Sony (tablet Z) I choose Z. better ppi

  • apple (iPad 4)can't put in the water.but can Z 30 minutes

  • can you take iPad 4 to the water..? answer is no..but with tablet Z can put in the water. so best engineer is from Sony...:-)

  • ipad 5 will die

  • Yeap say gtfo! IPad...this tablet are sure worthy for high price. Too bad only using andreno320 if nvidia 4 will be better...

  • Don't worry the speed is quad core krait which double the normal core..dual core krait equal to normal quad core. If quad core krait now that what we called....omg!

  • You can't call using gsm..this for tablet not phablet.

  • Yes can make call

  • Does this have a call function via cellular GSM.

  • yes it has all the features and most important thing its water proof

  • can i use this tablet z for calling & messaging??i look there are contacts & messaging icon in tablet z review on youtube..

  • when will it be available in the philippines?

  • £710?? Too expensive

  • When will this tablet hits the Malaysia market? i'd really like to get one

  • I like it but u can not show the price.

  • I think this is good..but we can't a tablet with removable batteru..

  • 6000mah battery not enough we just need 10000mah battery

  • feel it is an excellent tablet right now.the specifications are satisfactory except that one expects at least 1.7 ghz speed.Shall buy it as and when available.

  • give all specification in great manner.......i don't undersatnd.....

  • we cant buy although if we cant afford it

  • Is that the most important usage of a tablet you expect? HAHA. Go and buy a torch.

  • u want calling? Go and buy a phone. This is a tablet.:D

  • Go home ipad. Xperia Z is coming. I need one so badly.

  • no voice calling? This is bad. Remaining all are awesome

  • Awasome,I want this tablet,please come in indonesia.

  • no LED flash

  • True bro

  • Cool !

  • This tablet will not support 4G in India (India's 4G network functions in 2300 MHz frequency band)(Xperia Tablet Z supports 4G band such as 800 / 850 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600)

  • No!

  • Does this tablet have a pen?

  • Sony have I believe created the best looking, high spec. & durable tablet on the market. Battery life is the only concern. Sony have in only one year caught up in the smartphone & tablet arena. Sony now offer a real alternative to Samsung and Apple. Welcome back Sony.

  • Don't buy if you can't afford it.

  • it stated that it support LTE which is 4G. you sure you read the specs?

  • No universal remote control?

  • Agree..using same spec as smartphone to make tablet(at least tegra3/4 for tablet use) with high price definitely are wrong move...we don't need more expensive tablet others then iPad!

  • this is best technology but this is very expensive

  • But one thing is really missed in Xpidia that is "4G" i am also not spend 710 Euro without 4G.

  • Yeah, So good for all of its specs... but it was so very expensive... :-) -Guys Try to search Cherry Mobile Flare, its a bargain for such a smartphone capabilities like that... ^_^

  • Why do u have a problem now ...when CRAPPLE PADS can be sold expensive inspite of having gud 4 nothing specs .This one is atleast giving u what one can ask 4 today

  • Toooooooooooooooooooooo Expensive!!!!!! I think it's crazyness that someone prefers THIS to Microsoft surface pro!!!!!!!!1

  • Correct eric,even apple products are all assembled in china already coz of cheap labor cost.

  • Gr8 device, superb specs, keep it up.

  • Then go buy sony vaio duo11

  • that hilarious ,how this battery can hold too much energy?sony rocks

  • *Water and dust resistant

  • Mother of God.I've never seen a Water and Dust tablet

  • Correct 3/4G specs: HSDPA, 42 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.8 Mbps; LTE, Cat3, 50 Mbps UL, 100 Mbps DL

  • i really wish people didnt jump to conclusions about products based on specs before they're even released.

  • Great disappointment - HSDPA, 14.4 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps; LTE, Cat3, 37.5 Mbps UL, 100 Mbps DL

  • battery 6000???so less

  • what is the standby time for li-po 6000 mah or how long does it drain?

  • is it available in india

  • I really don't get why Sony choose not to release their finest products internationally. It's like saying to Samsung and Apple: "I COULD beat you guys, y'know. I just choose not to."

  • sony vaio duo the best.

  • Why sony's product just on anrdoid OS not to windows RT/ Windows 8? Sony's, please to made a xperia tablet with windows OS for a awesome and good of quality product.

  • 6000 mah??????6.9?????is there a better tablet?????if this was for international market,now was so famuse!!!!!!awsome

  • my fev phone

  • there is only one colour

  • why japanees brands are made in china

  • apple tablet: almost 12000 battery vs Sony 6000

  • I think u dont know about android..this OS is one of the highest selling in tablet and smartphone in the world..this OS is not made of china and mostly all electronics are made in china ok...

  • Adroid is not cheap..is one of the leading operating system in the market now. And this kind of OS is not made of china...and also all electronics company are base in china.. U have none sense opinion

  • all i want for this xmas season is the XPERIA Z TABLET...

  • dude, android doesn't look "cheap", android is now veeeeery stable, beautiful, useful and it's just one of the best os that i've ever used in my opinion, and to give you an idea of that, let me tell you something, ios chashes more than android, because in the ios you can't report to the developers about the crashes of their apps, so they just redirect you to the homescreen, looking like you pressed the home button for accident, just because apple don't want to look "cheap", do you got it now?!(i think you said something like that just because you've never used android)

  • i want this tablet with windows 8, not stupid android. android make the product look cheap, chinese made

  • that is a little expensive that it must be!!!

  • its amazing tablet. sony's great innovation. i will purchase it soon..

  • amazing tablet, things didnt like are battery, price, and its just Japanese version.

  • its 6hour for lab test, but im sure its below 6hours for avg

  • wow what a tablet of sony

  • That's exactly how people look using their samsung galaxy note 2.

  • People before making a complain about battery life do check the chipsets they r well optimized to use as much as low power possible.6000mah is not great but good enough to last at least 7 hour straight and i think thats not bad now if the pricing is under 30 k that would be perfect

  • absoulutly true bro, it kinda stupid to use tab for phone. imagine it, big tab on your head. just stupid. lol

  • Apparently it is one of the best on paper tablet...

  • looks like there is no flashlight for camera. its a tab but still flashlight is must for any camera!

  • looks like there is no flashlight for camera. its a tab but still flashlight is must for any camera!

  • fantastic & excellent

  • dont write about cheap(samsung) in a primium(sony) blog....discuss ur cheap with apple (mr. lawsuiter) only...

  • this tablet should equip with Snapdragon 600 rather than S4 Pro(I heard S600 is coming this Q1 2013 though), it's no point that a tablet use the same chipset as a mobile phone that not make a tablet unique at all. By the way, since it's not available yet I hope Sony will think about it, cus it's just not just to compete with iPad or other android tablet(Note 10.1, Nexus 10...) , also Surface Pro too.

  • He/She is just a fanboi of some brand and come here te screw about Samsung. We are all seeing this kind teenagers at everywhere. In simple: Knows nothing but talks too much.

  • And why did you have to post that here?

  • Which Samsung model you got?

  • which samsung phone model you got?

  • Samsung is toy maker with inferior quality, there may be people liking & following them as always crowd we se behind cheap. Lets not compare Shamesung with any other quality brands....:)

  • Sony Ericssion is a fantastic brand. I am a great lover of all products.......................

  • its apity that has no call function. such a perfect device. a real samsung killer if it has call function

  • Well I am sold for it just like any other Sony product... Well I don't like plastic so shamesung is not a choice and I don't like following trends so no crappy I devices thank you very much.. We have enough good option in this devices and their is practical usage of this in every walk of life... I urge anyone who wasting time here asking about product Please go to local dealer and try the product hand on ask how many features packed in this device. You can look at xperia S which is currently available to be honest this is something unique...

  • of course this beast is way better then ipad 3... Okay enough said... Give me one Ipad. I am dumb little man want to copy my neighbor.. his wife two kids all having ipad, even my kids friend own one.. I am sorry for being dumb but that's a trend you see :)

  • Don't worry guys , it is expected that the device will hit the international market by Q1. It won't be only for sale in Japan

  • just wait this tablet :P u will very happy with this

  • I recommend Samsung windows 8 tablet

  • ..And look how asus use dual core Krait instead of Tegra in Infinty 700 3G, and quite right, no stuttering and freezes with dual krait. Tegra suxx so much, so incredible bad, slower than Galaxy Pocket!

  • So we could enjoy lags and freezes, is that what you mean? The fifth core is destroying performance of nvidia chipsets, for web browsing its a disaster, the main cores are not awake when they are needed and the 5th core has no performance to handle even simple webpages. Tegra is strictly for gamers who dont care about performance in other stuff, for the average user Tegra is the worst, just look how it destroyed the Asus Infinity 700, great Full HD tablet but webbrowsing on it is a joke thanks to Nvidia.

  • Its show time

  • I want to buy tablet. It will be appreciated if some one suggest me which is the good one. Thank U.

  • I want to buy tablet. It will be appreciated if some one suggest me which is the good one. Thank U.

  • I really dont know what the fudge are you trying to say right now.. please type properly -_-

  • Tablets are lighter than laptops. Front cam for skype. You'll look stupid to have a 10inch tablet holding up against your ear.

  • then you have laptops instead of tablet, what can you say. then camera compact than tablet, what can you say.nowadays people use one gadget for multipurpose.then is proven on a sales not on a mouth.samsung as a market leader, with their super display have quite a fewer sales without call function. and with such a high high price without a call funtion???? helllo

  • i think you must take a look at blog page, it will be everywhere soon.

  • this is sony's invincible soldier

  • That's you have a smart phone for calls. And why would you use a 10inch tablet for calls?

  • Dont forget to read: "For Japanese market!" before smiling!

  • It was better if sony released it with tegra4 chipset.

  • its a pityu that has not call function. sony always lack behinds to samsung. so stupidn no call function, no market men. even samsung find ghard to sell nexus 10 as there is no call function.

  • Compare to ipad 3 , wish one is the best?

  • wow thats great specification

  • Weird shape. And extra thin unnecessarily. Would've expected a 10000mAh battery like Ipad.

  • This tablet we all so needs GSM Voice sport

  • nice tab..i like u ll also like it.......and abt its features it is one of the best tab ever....go get it now

  • wow.just for japan????it is so amazing but not for japan pleaaasee

  • woooow. sony tablet Z is great. sony is the best for ever.

  • Is this the first tab with s4pro SoC?

  • they didnt make the xperia z that thin because it wouldnt have enough space to fit a good size capacity battery and other compoents.. on the other hand the xperia tab z is a 10" device so more space to stuff a huge battery and the rest in the back

  • gooood

  • I have the xperia s tab and I find it great. Everything about it is excellent, its splash resistant, so having a water resistant one would be even better. The screen and stuff on the current one seems really gud, so I cant wait to see this one! il just buy it lol

  • When is it going to be released in Europe ?

  • r u kiding???????????6.9 mm????????wow so sliiiiiiim!!more than xperia z???why??why xperia z is not 6.9???

  • Less than 7mm thick?!

  • clearly mention on top "For Japanese market". But I'm pretty sure it will leak to Malaysia any how

  • No Google 7, no Samsung, but Xperia Tablet Z is the real iPad killer !

  • but where is the flash wiht the main camera

  • but where is the flash wiht the main camera

  • I hope sony produce the smaller size....

  • I hope sony produce the smaller size....

  • I think we need to wait until MWC to know it will be global or not...

  • What tomorrow?

  • tomorrow

  • will this tablet come to malaysia?plz answer..

  • I wanna to buy it.... it is the best tablet ever.

  • Awesome TAb SONY keep it up. This is called Tablet waiting for its launch :) will buy it :)

  • It say got sim card so that means it can sms and call like a phone is it?

  • With a battery of 6000 mAh this tablet will have no stamina to fight with ipad 4 (11,560 mAh) and Nexus 10 (9000 mAh). Perhaps all the fancy looks and low weight is due to this small battery. I think battery is the most important thing to consider in a tablet after the display.

  • I always dream an ipad using iphone 4 base design, flat back cover with glass. But it's like sony made it on their tablet z. Well good job sony. Sony should be android no 1. I think their product quality and design better than samsung, i personally use xperia phone and so far so good.

  • A wonderful tablet ever!

  • its true , its only 6.9mm .

  • Win 8 version, anyone?

  • wat???????????6.9 mm?????????wrong????

  • sony r really champs, thx they r back. MAKE TO BELIEVE.

  • greatest ever...!!! the weight is just 495g even the iPad 2/3/4 weigh more than 600g greatest ever...!!!!!

  • greatest ever..!!!! the weight is just 495g the iPad 4/3/2 all weigh more than 600g greatest ever...!!!!

  • a tablet with water proof, high camera megapixel!? this awesome! hope the price won't ruin it though...

  • Would be better if voice communication is there. How long would be the battery life? The slim Tablet is really awesome. I prefered OS should be Windows 8.

  • s-force srround good butt i want s-master digital amplifire i love sony

  • Looks Awesome :D

  • Infrared port?

  • The thinnest tablet in the world is coming.

  • I wish i could have this.im drooling.haha

  • XperIa rOkzzz... sOon It will OvercOme apple, Samsung... & all Otherzz.. :) gO sOny gO... :)

  • Already a loyal to sony & to never touch another device since XS was announced. Really short of words now! But I guess I should drop this "LONG LIVE PLAY, LONG LIVE SONY" without u guys, this tech world we're living in would be very boring. And please, eagerly awaiting for PS4.

  • just i want to say only this for this beauty .. wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  • Looks great but poor battery for that size screen plus with them specs it needs more battery power atleast another 3000mah

  • wow so amazing how much in philippines??????

  • Hope this tablet comes to the Philippines.

  • Looks like this also has a front facing camera aswell. I do hope Sony does not over price this, it needs to be in a price range of the Samsung tablets, so I can afford this light sexy tablet.

  • Ready to invest in this beauty

  • Sony = #BestDesign #BestFeatures #BestPerfomance

  • well done sony !!! back in business again !!!

  • good job sony 2013 new year all device make believe more experience more specfication thank 4 u sony...

  • Does this have WiFi Direct Miracast like the Xperia Z phones? I do hope so.

  • Love the lightness of this tablet, be nice if the battery was a bit bigger say 7000 would sacrificial a slightly thicker tablet. Very nicely done sony. P.S. is there a front facing camera for face unlock????

  • Yeah SONY !!!!!! that's the way the cookie crumbles ! a waterproof tablet ! with amazing specs and amazing build quality and wonderful design ! After the xperia Z this beast ! Sony is on fire

  • So, you wanna a good Android tablet, huh? Here you are!

  • good job sony this tablet kick a** good job with the great cpu improvement and the camera which is good 8 mega pixel but you have could improved the Gpu and the battery but still a great tablet go Sony

  • will this tablet come to malaysia?
