White paper | Xperia™ Z3 Tablet Compact
Product overview
Xperia™ Z3 Tablet Compact
• Ultra slim, ultra light and waterproof IP65 and IP68*
• 8-inch Full HD display
• Fast leading processor
• Long-lasting battery
Greater than its size
Meet the tablet that re-defines lightness, and re-imagines power. Years of Sony engineering have gone
into creating a tablet where might isn’t held back by measurements.
The lightest waterproof tablet
The Xperia™ Z3 Tablet Compact is more than a design marvel. It’s a feat of engineering. The most
advanced Sony technologies were used to create a super-powerful tablet that’s 6.4 mm and weighs in at
just 270 grams. Crafted from the highest quality materials, with clean lines and a uniquely designed power
button, the Xperia™ Z3 Tablet Compact captures Sony’s exquisite attention to detail. Stainless steel
corners, an ultra slim frame and a tempered glass front give an elegant and durable finish. The result is an
ultra-portable tablet that weighs virtually nothing in your hand.
Sony’s passion for perfection takes the design of this compact tablet even further – adding market-leading
waterproofing to beauty. The IP 65/68 rating means preventing water or dust getting in the way of
performance. Take your Xperia™ Z3 Tablet Compact poolside, find your way in the rain, and keep
scrolling your recipe next to the kitchen sink. And other compact tablets are officially blown out of the
water.
Best-in-class speed and stamina
The Xperia™ Z3 Tablet Compact brings you the greatest Sony entertainment, backed up by the latest
advancements in performance and speed. Running on LTE, it features an ultra-fast Qualcomm®
Snapdragon™ 801 Quad-core processor. Every interaction is super fluid, browsing is lightning-quick, and
multi-tasking is so easy. And since the asynchronous processor makes sure that each core is powered
independently, you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you
don’t.
The Xperia™ Z3 Tablet Compact uses the latest Adreno 330 GPU, delivering fast graphics and the most
realistic mobile 3D gaming, so you’ll be more absorbed than ever in your games.
* In compliance with IP65 and IP68 standards, the Xperia™ Z3 Tablet Compact is protected against the
ingress of dust and water. Provided that all ports and covers are firmly closed, the phone is (i) protected
against low pressure jets of water from all practicable directions in compliance with IP65; and/or (ii) can be
kept under 1.50 metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes in compliance with IP68. The phone is not
designed to float or work submerged underwater outside the IP65 or IP68 classification range, and such
use may lead to your warranty being void. To find out more, go to more www.sonymobile.com/testresults.

Entertainment
Whether you’re playing a game or watching a movie, your entertainment is enhanced with the latest Sony
TV technologies. Combining with Sony’s TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile technology with X-Reality for
mobile and intuitive contrast enhancement, the 8-inch display is sharp and vivid, even in bright sunlight.
Sony’s rich audio expertise also comes through in every beat heard through the Xperia™ Z3 Tablet
Compact. Discover the difference of Hi-Res audio, and hear every track like you’re right there in the
recording studio. The Xperia™ Z3 Tablet Compact’s DSEE HX™ technology upscales low-res songs to
near High-Resolution quality, and the front speakers play everything loud and crystal clear. With Sony’s
Digital Noise Cancelling (DNC) technology, exterior noise can be reduced when paired with a DNC
headset.
