The Sony Xperia Tablet Z price has been established at a starting amount of $499 and the device is likely to be available in the US during spring this year. The manufacturer asserts that the slate houses the smallest depth amongst its contemporaries.
Possessing similar specifications to its phone equivalent, the Xperia Tablet Z will come preloaded with the Jelly Bean platform. The device will consist of an Adreno 320 GPU, a 1.5GHz quad core Snapdragon processor and 2GB of RAM. 16GB or 32GB of on-board memory should grant users with ample space to store their data. And not taking any chances, the maker has made provision for expansion of up to 64GB through a microSD card slot. Users can manage their battery usage through the Stamina mode to receive only those alerts and notifications that they select.
The device is graced by a 10.1-inch TFT Reality display powered by Bravia Engine 2, which is safeguarded by a coating of anti-shatter film. The touchscreen exhibits visuals at a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. Constructed from aluminum and other materials, the slate is slim as well as light with a thickness of just 6.9mm and a weight of 495 grams. The maker claims that the tablet has been tested in rigorous conditions to ascertain its resistance to both dust and water.
Dual Exmor R cameras would be dwelling on the slate, the first being an 8.1MP one on the rear that can be used to click images and record footage even in the rain or dusty conditions. The snapper’s burst mode allows an unlimited number of different shots to choose from. A 2.2MP shooter is embedded onto the front panel that delivers high quality video chats.
A prominent feature that the slate shares with its smartphone counterpart would have to be One-Touch. With this tool, users will be able to send content like music, pictures and videos to other compatible devices over NFC by simply touching them together.
The company has announced that prospective buyers can expect to lay their hands on the black hued Sony Xperia Tablet Z in the second quarter from the official online and retail stores. The 32GB variant will be sold for $599.
