The Sony Xperia Tablet Z(PIPO M9) is animated by a tablet with Android + Full HD screen of 10 inches. Design, lightness and performance to the top. Let's find out together ...
Sony, after proving its supremacy in the world of Android smartphones with the Sony Xperia Z, try the same way to conquer the tablet market motivated by the green robot. It does so with Xperia Tablet Z and, also in this case, the result appears to have been reached with flying colors.
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z(Ainol Novo 10 HERO II) will be available to the public by the middle of next May and will be available in three versions: the standard Wi-Fi, 16 or 32 GB, and the most valuable with LTE connectivity, but with only 16 GB of onboard memory, that will still be expandable via microSD slot as the other two versions. The tablet is also expected to be available in two colors, namely black or white.
The latter is a specification that unfortunately goes unnoticed among many other qualities that the new tablet offered by Sony offers us. In fact, the real strengths Xperia Tablet Z are compact and lightweight design, and the lustful 10.1-inch LED screen with Full HD resolution + equal to 1,920 × 1,200 pixels, as well as and excellent visual quality achieved through information technology owner of the house and Reality Display Bravia Engine 2.
In short, the competition in the world of 10-inch tablet(AINOL VENUS) is getting fiercer, with the Apple iPad and the Google Nexus 10 as the reference current products, the Sony still has the potential to become a dangerous competitor.
Design and body
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z shares part of the name of the same house with your smartphone, the Sony Xperia Z for a reason, that it has in common with the design and architecture of hardware and software. Already when you pick it up for the first time, you quickly realize of the greatest advances made by Sony in the world of tablet. The Xperia Tablet Z is thin and light with a thickness of only 7 mm and a weight of only 495 grams, qualities that make it very comfortable to use for long periods of time. Only very squared edges might annoy the hands of some users and lacks a thin rubberized coating to make the tablet more comfortable and secure grip in the hand.
Apart from this, there are other criticisms that you can ask about this tablet, which is also beautiful to see and we can not help but congratulate Sony for creating a real "family bonding" on their mobile devices.
Also, just as with the smartphone of the same family, even the Xperia Tablet Z meets the specifications of waterproof IP57, being resistant to water and dust, making the tablet safely used without risk in the home, for example in the kitchen while preparing a new dish using the recipes on its display.
Display
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z provides us with a 10.1-inch display Full HD +, Bravia Engine 2 technology-enhanced, borrowed - and adapted - from television screens in the same house, which has many lights and presents some shade. Without a shadow of doubt, however, the screen positively surprised by the richness of detail and color fidelity, despite the contrast can not be said that high. Along with a wide viewing angle is not so, as noted, moreover, on your smartphone Xperia Z, the quality goes down a lot when we look at the display while the tablet very inclined. There is, however, to admit that these cases are considerable as limiting cases, but even admitting this, the two defects, namely contrast and viewing angle is not very wide, remain.
Also with regard to the setting of the auto brightness, it looks very outdated, as it happens on all mobile devices Sony both past and present, and manually disable it better, to release all the beauty of the screen, adapting it to the needs of each individual user. Finally we have to add that the screen is not only beautiful and detailed, but also the touch is satisfactory for responsiveness and accuracy of various gestures.
Software and User Interface
Sony, while making small changes to the user interface of Android 4.1.3 Jelly Bean, the operating system with which the tablet is offered as standard, has equipped the Xperia Tablet Z with useful applications and well done to exploit it in the multimedia field, even and in the home.
If the applications Walkman for music and album for photos are used with pleasure and satisfaction, the TV application Side View user becomes a faithful partner of Sony TV compatible, in fact, when paired with the TV on the same network Wi-Fi, you can use the tablet as a remote control with all the functions available, refer to the program guide by going to related content on the Web, or to stream multimedia content from the tablet, or other embedded devices in the home network, without limitation, thanks to the support of all the latest codecs and formats, among which we find also including H.264 and MPEG-4. At the moment, the voice control function is available only in English, while the InfraRed transmitter allows for the TV does not recognize a designer and Sony still use the tablet as a universal remote.
Camera
For those who did think the circle of people who think it is normal and acceptable taking pictures with a tablet, they will be happy to know that the Sony Xperia Tablet Z was equipped with a capable 8 megapixel rear camera, equipped with the Exmor CMOS sensor R supported by the technology Superior Auto, both borrowed from the smartphone Xperia Z, which allows you to create shots of satisfactory quality, at least from what you can expect from a tablet. The front-facing camera, however, provides us with a resolution of 2.2 megapixels, the latter also with Exmor R sensor and full HD resolution, and can be used without restriction to capture images to send to friends, both for video chat.
Multimedia and performance
The intent of Sony is to integrate the new tablet Xperia Tablet Z within a personal multimedia ecosystem and, in fact, even as a separate device, the tablet of Sony impresses, both for performance, both in the video, both audio. We must remember that the tablet Xperia Tablet Z is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor quad core 1.5 GHz processor, Adreno 320 GPU and the whole unit is supported by as many as 2 GB of RAM, ensuring the full effectiveness for mobile gaming last generation, for example with the now famous videogame Real Racing 3. The Wi-Fi version of Xperia Tablet Z moves very well also in the web browsing and social networks, apart from a few bugs too which still afflicts the web browser which is fitted as standard, while using Chrome the situation is much better.
The four small speakers, placed in a strategic position at the sides so as not to be covered with your hands, offer a clean sound without distortion even at higher volumes and at lower frequencies, as well as sorprendemente powerful for a tablet. The strength in audio equalizer is completely customizable, which works effectively on each sound source, as well as play a virtual surround effect of excellent quality.
While other tablets are definitely hard to present itself as a media device because of gaps in one direction or another, or within video or audio, often requiring a pair of decent headphones for a better listening experience, the Experia Tablet Z does not disappoint on any aspect, being able to fully rely on its ability to play music even within a room.
Battery life and connectivity
Unfortunately, as often happens, high performance is below average and autonomy, even in the case of Xperia Tablet Z, the lithium polymer battery, not interchangeable, provides about five hours of use, using the tablet as a media device for playback of audio and video content, to play games, or surf the Wb connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Finally, the new tablet from Sony, Xperia Tablet Z, does not lack anything even when it comes to connectivity, integrated sensors and support of communication protocols and is, in fact, been equipped with USB 2.0 port, HDMI via USB dongle and with MHL support, Wi-Fi-class n, Bluetooth v4.0, GPS, accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope, digital compass, NFC, DLNA, and 4G/LTE networks, in the latter case we speak of the compatible model.
Conclusions
Before giving an opinion to the tablet Xperia Tablet Z, we must make an important premise, both the tablet and smartphone Xperia Z, have more or less the same features, offer the same performance and do the same things. For those who, therefore, do not want to own a high-end smartphones, but they are fanned by the idea of having a home device that can be shared with family, thanks to the feature introduced in the latest versions of Android that allows us to easily create multiple accounts, then this tablet can be an excellent choice, not by presenting limitations in the field of play and media, apart from the reduced autonomy and poor viewing angle of the display.
Hopefully a future firmware update, as promised shortly to the smartphone of the same family, acts by improving the management of energy saving Stamina, which currently works pretty well, but only when the tablet is in stand-by, as well as the brightness Automatic display, so as to unleash the full power of this device and do a true reference product in an ever more competitive markets and competitive.
To conclude we can say that the new tablet from Sony, Xperia Tablet Z, will be on sale from mid-May to the prices of respectively 499, 549 and 699 Euros for Wi-Fi models with 16 and 32 GB, and from Wi-Fi/LTE 16 GB.
