Best European Tablet of the Year
“Sony Xperia Tablet Z is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a combination of unique style and technology.”

At just 6.9 mm and weighing under 17.64 ounces, the Xperia™ Tablet Z is beautifully light for a 10.1” tablet. But don’t let the feel of it fool you. This premium tablet may be slim and light, but it’s no lightweight!
Water resistant design
This ultra-light Android tablet is water resistant, with a super-strong glass display. Whether you’re surfing poolside or scrolling through a recipe with wet fingers, the Xperia™ Tablet Z can take it.
An amazing audio experience
Introduced in 1979, the Sony WALKMAN has given us decades of expertise that allows us to understand your audio needs like no other. This has lead us to develop technology such as Clear Audio+ and xLOUD loudness enhancement – all to give you the best kind of listening experience.

Water and dust resistant
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z has an impressive IP55/IP57 rating, which makes this slim, sleek tablet resistant to water and dust.
Just rinse it off
The water resistant Xperia Tablet Z can easily handle a plunge in the sink. We even made sure it can keep going after 30 minutes under water up to 3.28 feet. Just remember that all the covers for the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot, the headphone jack and the memory card slot must be firmly closed.IP (Ingress Protection) rating
IP55/57 – what does it really mean? IP rating is a certification testing to measure a device’s resistance levels to both dust and water. The first digit in the two-digit IP rating indicates the level of protection against solid objects, including tiny dust particles. The second digit indicates how resistant the device is to water.Display & Viewing
A screen as impressive as HDTV – HD Reality Display
Feel like you’re there with the razor sharp and super bright 10.1” HD Reality Display. Sony’s rich experience in display innovation continues. Having brought 3D, Blu-ray and 4k to consumer electronics, we’ve now brought Reality Display to an HD tablet. We use the expertise from our BRAVIA® TV engineers when developing our cell phone screens, to bring you the same quality you’d expect from a top quality HDTV.The most vivid colors – through Sony screen technology
Xperia Tablet Z brings revolutionary screen technology to the tablet viewing experience. With a full wide colour gamut, Xperia Tablet Z reproduces the widest color spectrum, so you can view every detail in vivid color. Both still and moving images are brought to life, for a no-compromise viewing experience.
Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 – true Screen intelligence
The second generation of our acclaimed Mobile BRAVIA® Engine, Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 delivers an even better viewing experience by adding new real-time contrast optimisation to the sharpness enhancement, high-quality colour management and noise reduction. Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 is also able to analyse content type and adjust the image accordingly.
1 - Contrast enhancement
Contrast in images and video is enhanced by making the darkest parts slightly darker, which brings out details in the picture.2 - Colour management
Colour saturation is increased for specified colour ranges, which makes the colours deeper and more vivid. And the intelligent Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 software reproduces skin colour exactly as it appears to the naked eye.3 - Noise reduction
Distortion and noise is reduced when streaming low-quality video from online sources, such as YouTube. Noise is reduced both to individual frames and between frames, for clearer viewing.4 - Sharpness filter
Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 applies a sharpness filter to increase the overall detail level in the image. This is done by enhancing the edges and contrast without increasing noise.
Cinema-like viewing
With Sony’s unique Movies app, widescreen viewing, and advanced screen technology, Xperia™ Tablet Z is the HD tablet that brings you a cinema-like movie experience. The “Movies” app automatically downloads info on all the films that you have downloaded or side loaded, and lets you view them in high quality. Browse thousands of blockbusters on Video Unlimited, sit back and watch them on the most immersive wide-screen display and get swept away by soundtracks in 3D surround sound.
OptiContrast™ & Direct Touch – less reflective, more responsive
We’ve eliminated a layer of air in the construction, bringing the touch panel closer to the display. This OptiContrast™ panel enables clearer viewing with less reflection – even in bright sunlight, as well as creating a seamless, black surface when the phone is turned off.By eliminating the sensor layer and integrating the sensor on the lens, we’ve managed to increase the responsiveness of the screen. So your touch is more effective and the experience on your Android smartphone is more intuitive.

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.

Significantly improve battery life with Battery STAMINA Mode
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using
them. All those apps that you have on your Android smartphone may still
be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA
Mode saves you wasted battery drain. It recognizes when you’re not using
your display and automatically turns off the functions you don’t need,
while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power
button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again.
Get only the important notices
With Battery STAMINA Mode, Wi-Fi and data traffic are disabled during
standby, but you still receive incoming calls, texts, and alarms. And
since everyone has different needs, you can easily customize which apps
you want to receive push notifications from, even in standby mode.
