hey it's Josh Flagg our firm and Road Authority what's going on everybody and I have the privilege of bringing you the Xperia tablet Z or Zed made by Sony this really is a remarkable piece of hardware one of the one of the main things you're going to notice when you see this tablet is the size 10.1 inch screen however even though it is a 10-inch tablet you have one of the lightest if not the lightest tablet on the market today at 495 grams and also the one of the thinnest if not the thinnest at six point nine millimeters so we're gonna take a look at some of the software inside but one thing I can tell you is that there are a couple of really big features on here that will please a lot of tablet owners out there expandable memory with an SD card slot right under over here and also a 6,000 milliamp hour battery which will provide you up to eight hours of straight usage on this tablet it's really good feet to have a lot of tablet a lot of battery power on a tablet like this that packs a lot of power inside you have the Snapdragon s4 pro processor which has been able to power some of the best devices on the market and this is going to be included on top of that you have two gigabytes of RAM and 16 gigabytes of memory onboard so we're gonna take a look at some of the software and after that we're gonna show you one of the other cool features of the Xperia tablet Z which is its water-resistant so we're gonna move over to that real quick all right we're looking at some of the software aspects here as you can see it's one of the most customized Android UI is this tablet is sporting one of the newer versions of Android jellybean 4.1.2 so may not be the most updated but there are still some of the great features that are included inside like Google now as you can see here obviously we're not really going to use it at the moment but as you can see the interface around here some of the elements are on the bottom like the notification drop-down whether it's a pop up because it's coming from the bottom and then the soft keys over here you also have quick access to a lot of these small apps that Sony phones I've become quite know and just kind of looking through the UI very very high quality icons probably high resolution because it's taking advantage of a 1920 by 1200 resolution screen it's very very impressive okay and you know just a quick look at the screen here pretty good viewing angles looking very very nice so what we're going to do then is take a look at the water resistance that this has because a lot of Sony phones and now tablets are coming with a water resistance that allows it to be used even when submerged underwater as you can see we have a tank over here on the side if you look on the booths here at the Sony area you'll see that there are always tanks of water all over the place the back at CES we saw the Xperia Z phone being dipped into water and now we get to do it ourselves which is pretty awesome to be honest so want to go ahead the screen is still on as you can see we're not uh we're not holding any punches here we're gonna leave it on nice unlock screen right there and goes right in so as you can see when it goes into the water sometimes a register some touches because there's there's a lot of contact happening on the screen but nonetheless if I were to go through I can't do anything with the screen but it comes the really cool part take it right out of there let it drip off a little bit and what the water is still all over it as you can see works perfectly it's a wonderful wonderful feature of this phone imagine if you were at a table eating with your family and your little brother just knocks over a glass of water it'll still work even after them just give it a quick wipe down it should be good to go so that friends was the Xperia Z I'm sorry Xperia tablet Z or Zed made by Sony really a very impressive we're really liking what we're seeing from here and it's so easy to hold in one hand really at 495 grams it's a seriously one of the most nimble devices that I certainly have ever had working with so once again is Joshua Vergara from Android authority and this is our coverage from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain so remember to subscribe to our Channel and stay tuned we'll have more coming soon
