Sony announces its Sony Xperia Tablet Z

A couple of weeks ago, Sony introduced the flagship Sony Xperia Z handset. Now, Sony turns its attention to the tablet world with the Sony Xperia Tablet Z. The slate has a 10.1 inch screen with resolution of 1920 x 1200 and the Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2. In comparison, the Google Nexus 10 has a 10.05 inch screen with resolution of 2560 x 1600 and a pixel density of 300ppi. The new Sony tablet is powered by a quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, which is probably the APQ8064.

The Sony Xperia Tablet Z offers an 8.1MP camera on back and the Sony S-Force sound is said to bring "a sense of spaciousness". The device supports NFC, has LTE connectivity, a microSD port and comes with Android 4.1 out of the box. Like the Sony Xperia Z, the tablet is both water and dust proof.

Pricing and availability were not revealed. What was announced was the 6.9mm slim profile of the tablet, which weighs in at 495 grams (17.5 ounces).
