Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact now available to pre-order in the US

Now that you can pre-order both the Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact in the US (see here and here), you may also want to know when the Z3 Tablet Compact will be available. Well, as of today, Sony is taking pre-orders for the Tablet Compact, too, expecting to ship it on November 2 - thus at about the same time with the Z3 Compact smartphone.

At the moment, Sony is offering only the white, 32 GB Wi-Fi version of the Z3 Tablet Compact, asking $499.99 for it. An LTE version will likely be released later this year.

Running Android 4.4 KitKat, the new slate sports an 8-inch IPS display with 1200 x 1920 pixels, and has the highest water-resistance rating on any consumer tablet (IP65/68). Other features include NFC, a 2.1 MP front-facing camera, 8 MP rear camera, quad-core 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, 3 GB of RAM, microSD card support, and a 4500 mAh battery. At 6.4 mm and 270 grams, the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is the world’s thinnest and lightest 8-inch tablet. That being said, are you looking forward to getting one?
