Highlights
• 10.1-inch Full HD display with the latest BRAVIA® TV technology and X-Reality™ for mobile picture
engine
• S-Force Front Surround audio technology and Digital noise cancelling
• The slimmest (6.4mm) and lightest (under 450g) waterproof tablet on the market*

The sharpest images with the most vivid colours
Whether you are in bright daylight or in low light conditions, with the Xperia™ Z2 Tablet, you still can
watch entertainment in full, vivid colour. The Xperia™ Z2 Tablet’s 10.1-inch Full HD display is embedded
with the latest Sony BRAVIA TV technology expertise. At its core, TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile
creates a wider palette of rich, natural tones while brand new Live Colour LED technology provides the
world’s most vivid and deepest colours on a tablet without the risk of oversaturation. Finally, unique to
Sony, the X-Reality™ for mobile picture engine analyses each image to optimize colour, sharpness and
contrast while super resolution reproduces lacking pixels. So you always get the sharpest images and
videos, even from low quality content such as still pictures and web videos.
The clearest sound quality
When holding a tablet your hand can sometimes get in the way of the speakers. But with Sony’s new SForce Front Surround audio technology coming at you via specially positioned speakers at the front of the
Xperia Z2, you can enjoy dynamic sound. And if you are on the move and want to watch your favourite
film, you no longer need to worry about the background noise from busy streets, noisy trains or even on
flights. The Xperia™ Z2 Tablet supports digital noise cancelling technology which reduces ambient noise
by up to 98%. Just make sure you use your Digital Noise Cancellation Headset.
The world’s slimmest and lightest tablet
The Xperia™ Z2 Tablet is created with a sleek design using premium material, which makes it the Xperia™
Z2 Tablet slimmest (only 6.4mm) and lightest (under 450g) waterproof tablet on the market. Specifically,
the Wi-Fi-only model weighs 426g while the 4G LTE modem model weighs 439g. Every single detail has
been carefully crafted so you can enjoy a tablet that is not only beautiful to look at, but is also extremely
portable and comfortable to hold with just one hand.
The durable waterproof tablet
The Xperia™ Z2 Tablet is designed with a display that is scratch resistant and a body that is entirely
waterproof so it can handle whatever life throws at it. You can even watch a movie in the bath while you
relax at the end of the day, or record a video in the pool while on holiday. The Xperia™ Z2 Tablet is built to
follow you wherever you go.
The world’s most powerful tablet
The Xperia™ Z2 Tablet combines the fastest processor in a tablet with Sony’s latest battery saving
technology, for fast and long lasting performance. We developed the Snapdragon 801 processor with
speeds of up to 2.3 GHz so that just the right processing components are used at the right power levels
for any given task. So, share your photos and files faster and stream your audio and video more smoothly
with the industry’s only third generation 4G LTE modem, delivering twice as fast 4G user speeds. Plus, a

generous 3GB of RAM ensures plenty of memory capacity. And if that wasn't enough, you can enjoy
sharp, realistic mobile 3D gaming with the enhanced graphics capabilities of the newest Adreno 330 GPU,
which delivers a 20% performance improvement over the previous generation.
A longer-lasting battery
A 6000mAh ion battery and STAMINA Mode features are introduced in the Xperia™ Z2 Tablet, providing
up to 10 hours of uninterrupted multimedia usage. Extended standby time maximises your battery lifetime
by preventing unwanted applications and data communication from running in the background when the
display is turned off. So you won’t miss any important calls. Extended usage runtime can dynamically tune
the hardware parameters to reduce performance in favour of longer usage time, so you gain 15 percent
power saving even when you’re extra active. With STAMINA mode you can also benefit from extended
music playback, allowing you to listen to music for more than 100 hours without having to recharge your
battery. And that is something!
