White paper | Xperia™ Tablet Z Wi-Fi
How tablets should have been from the beginning.
So brilliantly vivid, you feel like you’re there
Think about the sharpest, most vivid TV picture. Now imagine it on a tablet. Xperia™ Tablet Z delivers the kind of immersive viewing you’d normally only get with an HDTV. Created by the people behind BRAVIA® TVs, Xperia™ Tablet Z brings Sony’s expertise to an Android™ tablet. The brilliant 10.1” Reality Display™ is powered by Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2, which enhances the clarity and richness of every image. This HD tablet boasts the fullest colour display, too. For bluer blues, greener greens and seriously killer sunsets. With Xperia™ Tablet Z you meet a world so vivid, everything else pales in comparison.
Minimal yet distinctive – OmniBalance design
The design of Xperia™ Tablet Z is focused on creating balance and symmetry in all directions. We call it OmniBalance design. OmniBalance™ design balances technology vs. design, letting you get so totally immersed in the content that the hardware disappears.
Xperia™ Tablet Z has subtly rounded edges and smooth, reflective surfaces on all sides, which are held together by an innovative skeleton frame. The glass-paneled front has a seamless surface and enhanced reflective coating. s
Lightning speed performance – Quad core processor
We’ve matched the latest Sony software with the powerful Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Pro processor. This advanced 1.5 Ghz quad core processor gives you maximum performance and speed, and incredible graphics, without draining your battery. Run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with no loading time, and stream videos without a break. The Snapdragon S4 Pro processor is asynchronous, which means each core is powered up and down independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don’t.
One-touch connectivity from Sony
Sharing with friends and connecting your world has never been easier. Based on NFC (near field communication), our One-touch functions connect one device to another in a single tap. No wires, cables, or fiddling with settings necessary.
•One-touch sharing: Share photos, music and more between your tablet and smartphone or NFCenabled laptop.
•One-touch listening: Play the music on your tablet or smartphone through a wireless speaker.

The place you call Home
Customise your Home screen with widgets, shortcuts, folders, themes, wallpaper and other items. Where’s best for you? Email top right? Music player bottom left? You decide. With six extensions to your Home screen, you’ve got plenty of space to put things where you want. Just remember to flick left or right to find them.
Xperia™ Socialife™*
Use the Socialife application from Sony to get your favorite news, videos and social networking feeds in one place.
