Just to chime in, got my XTZ 16gb WiFi from bro xperiax10.awesome (his extra set) meet him at Changi and did our business there. I have to say that it is AWESOME design-wise and stability of the software. The only thing left is to root this baby asap when I got back from travelling. Quite a big step up from tf201 that I have since early 2012.

Look at http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5326&idPhone2=4573. The Tablet Z is superior in almost every aspect. I've used a friend's Note 10.1. It's a nice tablet, but Touchwiz absolutely ruins it. Lags even in launcher and scrolling text :/
[Xperia Tablet Z General] anGel_pLayer:
First, thanks for providing info about the tablet... I think this is better than Nexus 10 (mainly because of sdcard)... I would like to get this, but I am quite not sure how well it handles videos. Especially 720p or higher 10bit mkv videos... They always play smooth on a Windows PC but has "patches" or "blotch" on my android phone.. I watch a lot of anime so most of the time, I'll be using this tablet for that.. Here is a thread about my experience on playing 720p 10bit mkv video on my Optimus 4X :

You don't have to extract the Rom from the device.

Just start Seus, perform an update or re-flash the firmware

then you have the needed files in the blob_fs folder

how do the speakers sound? pretty excited about the EQ and sound settings, but i also saw on a YouTube video or preview (or something, can't remember) that the sound gets muffled depending on how you hold it (i.e. the corners). say, versus the fully front speakers of the Nexus 10.

also, when the tablet is in the charging cradle, how does that affect the sound?

Does the Xperia Z Tablet support mounting NTFS harddisk via USB?

[Xperia Tablet Z General] hoarsehorse:
Speakers sound pretty good with xLOUD, S-Force Front Surround 3D and Clear Phase. The speakers are in the two bottom corners, each corner has two sets of holes, one down, one to the side. I've never held the device from the bottom corners so it hasn't been an issue for me. In regards to the cradle, it has holes at the bottom for the speakers so no issues there. Google this for a japanese blog review of the dock "Xperia Tablet Z レビュー 『クレードル・SGPDS5 を使ってみました！"

hows battery life on 3G? if you only use it to read sites, books etc how long will battery last?

My biggest concern is the 6000mah battery. Not very much considering it is a 10inch tablet. My tablet habits is not like my phone. Usually it might be left on the desk days at a time before I pick it up and play with it. The last thing I want is to be having to plugged it in all the time when I need to use it.

Since no one really report on the screen on time yet, this is quite a mystery to me.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] TellTenPeople:
Whereforartthou, my Tablet-eo?

It really comes down to what you intent to use your prospective tablet for. I've been using both an iPad(1 then 2) and Android tablet (Xoom then Nexus7 and, hopefully, the Xperia Tablet Z soon) for a few years and found that the experience breaks down like so:

iPad (iOS):

pros :)

- solid, generally well-built hardware and good AppleCare support

- great big ecosystem of content and games

- usually when an interesting games comes out -- it comes out on iOS (from my perspective)

cons :(

- no system file browser -- can make it very difficult to access files between apps and can cause a lot of storage wastage as each app has to have its own copy

- no picking your defaults apps for mail and browsing and chatting and whatever

- no customizing the keyboard (the lack of a hyphen on the main keyboard drives me bonkers frankly)

- once you're locked in Apple's admittedly beautiful Walled Garden of iGoodies, it's hard to break out

Android:

pros :)

- great flexibility in choosing default apps

- great choice and customization in any number of 3rd party keyboards

- great choice in file managers

- cheap expandable and removable storage in the form of SD cards (except for Nexus devices)

- easier to root and get access to interesting features not included by the manufactures because they value your money more than your convenience

- can easily and without rooting install apps from anywhere not just the Google Play store

cons :(

- build quality and quality assurance and support can be touch and go -- I've personally had Samsumg and Asus each send me two defective out-of-the-box Nexus tablets in a row (don't know about Sony yet :rolleyes: )

- fewer interesting games (from my perspective)

- the only reliable source of Android OS upgrades is Google and that means a Nexus device which invariably means no SD card expansion (although the OS thing may be changing with the phones anyway)

Ultimately, I find myself using my iPad2 for gaming and TV watching through the various Canadian TV network apps (that Android lacks) -- between my iPad2 and AppleTV I just cut the cable TV cord. I don't plan to upgrade my iPad anytime soon. Android tablets I use for just about everything that I can get away with without turning on a computer: web browsing, writing (as one of the wacky few who actually enjoys typing in portrait mode on even 10 inch tablets), notetaking (handwriting with stylus, no conversion to text), video watching (Youtube, Netflix and local network content), e-book reading, graphic novel reading, mindmapping and so much else :o

I hope that helps you in your decision-making process.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] salanos:
I basically copied the settings listed on my phone to the SO-03E, but I seem to find that it sometimes drops the HSPA connection entirely (still shows full reception) and as a result won't connect till I restart the device. I wonder if the APN settings are still incorrect... plus it's always on HSPA/HSPA+, I noticed it doesn't ever switch to 3G to save power if that's something it's supposed to do.

What about yours xperia.awesome?

On battery concerns... yes, the 6,000mAh cell is a hindrance, it definitely can't last as long as some of the other tablets, but it has remarkable energy efficiency. Despite having a cell slightly more than half the iPad 3's, it consumes 5,400mAh (90%) in about the same kind of time it takes an iPad to run 7,500mAh away. Sony has actually achieved pretty impressive battery performance all things considered.

Hi guys.

what about the WiFi speed? I read some test and say the WiFi is not so good if the range is greater then 6meters between the device and router.

Did you notice any problem with WiFi?

Thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z General] jfrancis999:
Hi,

I've not had any problems with wifi at ranges over 6 meters. I'm on a dual band 5/2.4 GHz router (ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900). I have heard others say that they've solved problems by switching their routers to channel 9. Probably any other non-default channel would work, though, depending upon congestion in your area. Note that I'm in a high rise condo, so there are _lots_ of other hot spots around.

Hello

Which one of the better screen of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z or Nexus 10?

Which is the better choice ?

Thx
[Xperia Tablet Z General] TellTenPeople:
Having experienced (and been failed by both), I'd have to say the Nexus 10 is better for text consumption and the like but really does lower res content no favours (and little content is not low res compared to the Nexus 10 screen) — Youtube and Netflix can look surprisingly good but washed out. Also, if you have any graphic novels/manga that aren't high enough resolution they will look fuzzy no matter what scaling type you use.

The Xperia Tablet Z really does show off 1080p video very nicely indeed — as you would expect from native resolution. However, I found that for text consumption if, like me, you hold the tablet closer to your face for reading, you will notice a bit more blockiness and a yellowness to the image that can be off-putting on white backgrounds. I also noticed some annoying diagonal lines, but I seem to be in the minority.
