new customers is to encourage design, quality workmanship and waterproof housing. The idea has already been successfully used in the smartphone Xperia Tablet Z looks like its mutation with 10.1 inch screen. Courtesy of Sony could test their flagship model. The kit is supplied with the tablet does not belong to the richest. It is a premium equipment costs which other manufacturers are joining the keyboard, case, good quality headphones. Sorry, but here a little disappointed. The manufacturer provides the user with a tablet with charger, usb cable and manual.
Until
asked to add excellent handsets which comes with the phone Xperia Z. charger included in the package is the only 1.5A at charging fully discharged Xperia is not fast.
After removing the hardware out of the box I was the holder of the iPad 2 had little to say “wow”. The first thing that strikes the eye is the thickness of the tablet. The Xperia is very thin. It has only 6.9 mm, which is the result of 1mm better than your smartphone.
positive impression complemented by the low weight of the device which is only 495g. Tablet fits very snugly in the hands of both the vertical and horizontal position. Sony has decided to constriction of the horizontal frame. By this tablet is, however, less space on the thumb when holding it vertically. Having so far some from older Android devices can be positively surprised Xperia dimensions.
Rear of the unit is covered with rubber-like to the touch matte plastic. It’s not too good but functional. Its texture prevents slipping the tablet in her hands as if they could use it in a “wet” condition is good. This material is easy to clean. It felt like material which is coated with a back cover for my iPad.
Despite the low weight and thickness of the tablet is stiff, his long grip is not weighing more tiring as the iPad 2 In the first minutes of play, however, is negligible after 30 minutes of play, appreciates the dimensions and low weight Xperia.
housing is waterproof. Each port is protected by rubber plugs, and the user is notified by the system when one of them is not closed. It is easy to forget that after charging or is disconnected from the computer. This screen is a very important reminder addition.
Sony cleverly solved the issue placed speakers. They play by the slots on the side and directed downward. Holding many tablets I often found myself cover any of the hand speaker. Here, no matter how we held the tablet sound will be heard through the speakers. Xperia generates quite loud and clear sound. Of course I am not referring to the comparison even to the smallest separate speakers. Comparing Xperia audio to other devices in this class can be happy with it. Ipad 2 despite playing only mono, in my opinion, makes it cleaner than the Sony. It is paid for larger sizes. The rest of the sides of the device you will find the entrance to MicroSIM, microSD memory card slot which allows us to expand the memory with additional 64GB,
headphone jack
dock connector, MHL connector, volume control and an infrared interface.
One may ask why someone irda today? The answer is in your equipment, tv / audio which is still controlled by infrared remote controls with LED. Sony took care of convenient software with which a single device, you can control everything that has a remote control. This works well and my Philips LCD TV set, set-top box and BR Sony UPC was operated tablet.
the back we find 8.1 MP camera on the front for video chat webcam with a resolution of 2.1 MP and the light sensor. At the end of the course, could not miss the NFC module.
Screen Xperia
With a little more resolution than full HD. It is 1920 x 1200. It is made in the art TFT with LED backlight. Despite the use of an ordinary TFT Sony has added several solutions that improve image quality. We managed to eliminate the space between the glass and the LCD panel. Improve the contrast is OptiContrast technology. Aside from the ideas marketers are working and the contrast is less dependent on the viewing angle. You can see a significant improvement over previous Sony equipment. The density of pixels is 224ppi. According to the manufacturer the screen displays almost the entire sRGB color range. For me, this information is purely marketing because they do not intend to engage in professional treatments pictures on the tablet. Much more important parameters such as brightness, reflection is the screen in daylight. Here, unfortunately, despite the high sounding technology is not so rosy. While the public’s matrix has good contrast and brightness for outdoor lot behind the missing iPad up to age 2 Screen resolution becomes his greatest enemy because the font is small, with the number glare and low brightness almost invisible.
So
HD Reality Display screen is very good, but in the rooms. Sony supports viewing of photos and videos Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2
Thanks to it are corrected in real time by the projected images turning up the contrast, sharpness, color saturation. In addition, the system makes sure that any error resulting from the shooting as noise, squares have been removed. This works well, and if you like candy-color be happy. The screen is protected by robust glass. But it is not known to all Gorilla Glass. Is this a flaw? Personally, I think that there is no big deal. The screen is not easy scratched, among many mobile devices we have ever had the pleasure to test these with Gorilla is not out of the ordinary, and each of them are taped off with fine quartz dust that drew them mercilessly all the screens. An attempt to protect the glass keys Xperia passed without a problem. If anyone asks me whether the defects are classified lack of marketing stamp Gorilla answer – it does not matter.
screen responds very well to touch. The tablet is able to read at a time 10 points so until a third hand to satisfy in this respect the needs of all.
Sleek design
forced many compromises with the manufacturer. One is a battery. It has a capacity of 6000 mAh. It is one of the biggest disappointments. Ipad 2 despite his age he can work up to 10 hours filled with playing, watching movies and buszowaniem the network. Here the childbearing period from 4 to 7 hours which is a good result if we consider the low capacity links, but this is unfortunately not the working time compared with what the competition offers. Of course, this is all due to the size of the enclosure. I personally chose me to ergonomics offered by Sony in the tablet over time to act. While it may be extended by the purchase of some power behind the tank on the shape and weight of competing tablets do not change. I think that this is a conscious choice of the manufacturer and admit here but plus.
tablet runs on Android. The Sony is not overwhelming. Manufacturer focused on refining and placing the tablet more useful applications instead of stalling on the strength of the mass whistles.
One of them is the Sony Lubricants Connect. It allows us to define a series of steps that execute automatically when the tablet is connected to it such as headphones, charger, etc.. All this is connected with the time. Most manufacturers offer us something resembling a mini Google store. He’s also Samsung and Sony have. Sony Select allows us to quickly find apps and games most suitable for our device.
All of this is driven by a powerful heart Snapdragon S4 Pro equipped with a quad-core Krait driven on 1.5 GHz, Adreno 320 GPU and 2GB of ram.
That’s all we know of the smartphone Xperia Z. Performance is at a good level, the system is running smoothly thanks to the large amount of ram. Games go without stuttering, and what is most important is not to reduce SOC clocks which is the scourge of today’s smartphones and tablets. A large proportion of the long’ve limited the CPU clock speed due to the heat that it produces. Completely free of this condition is only Apple hardware. Both tested by me HTC, Samsung and Sony Xperia SGS4 Z have the disadvantage. Of course, one can say that Apple has fewer cores, but it is not a question of producing muscle tsars but mobile devices and a compromise between the use features and performance.
Sony Xperia Tablet supports most of the connectivity standards. We therefore available Cat4 LTE module, WiFi IEEE 802.11 a / b / g / n, Bluetooth v4.0., NFC, DLNA, GPS. If we are not in LTE coverage can continue to use HSPA +. During tests, the GPS quickly found his place. At the start of the navigation can use three applications. The first one is paid Wisepilot.
version you can find the tablet is unfortunately only a demo. So we are left with Google Maps, and based on Google Navigate. Both work well, the only drawback is that they need to be online.
Internet surfing is by far the most comfortable in Chrome. Due to the high resolution screen viewing full pages looks great. For me, 10.1 inches is a bit too small to read the tiny letters and unfortunately I had to recourse zoom. Pages open up very quickly and there is no problem even with these very powerful.
Multimedia is a strong point of this device. The player supports most popular audio formats with the added quite a few settings. In addition to sound enhancers such as Clearaudio + we have a five manual equalizer settings, surround sound and a lot of other. There were, of course, a built-in RDS radio. Nifty option is TrackID which recognizes listened to our song.
Movie Playback does not cause any problems. Here the screen and the Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 form a successful duo. The only jarring AC3 service is here with no additional software can not help. The player has the ability to automatically retrieve information about the movie from the Internet. Our home-based library MKV almost entirely be possible to play on Xperia. Filmed by our movies can be edited using the supplied software.
Making movies and take pictures tablet is rather a bad idea. But here Sony surprised us positively. As for tablets offers high resolution 8.1 Megapixel sensor based on CMOS sensor Exmor R. As the exercises? On average, traditionally, if ok with good daylight and low at night and dimly lit rooms. Positive surprises the user interface that allows easy switching between filming and taking pictures.
compact Sony lovers will find here Superior Auto mode known CyberShot series. But let us not be fooled by the name and icon. It does not work nearly as well as cameras. While the photos may disappoint us so much movies come out better.
Curly in 1080p at 29 frames / s bit rate of up to 18Mb / s Sound is recorded in stereo 48kHz. There are no major problems with image stabilization, recording speed decreases with a sudden transition from light to dark scenes. To sum up the tablet as photo and videos are performing well but without much enthusiasm. Most smartphones having the same native resolution offer better quality pictures and videos.
After the first hours of communing with the tablet expected to get some more. The first small disappointment is the lack of good quality headphones in the box. The idea of ??the manufacturer to put the user in the area of ??the tablet, thanks to its ergonomic and waterproof design is melts through the screen. Poor brightness and glare weight makes it not work in direct sunlight. On the other hand, we get to hand the device with a powerful processor, screen with a resolution of 1200p. equipped with an expandable memory through microSD cards, supporting the latest LTE connectivity standard. Gamers will not have to ask the question whether or not their favorite title will walk smoothly. For all this, however, we will have to pay a lot.
