Sony's Xperia Z2 tablet is super-skinny but searingly powerful

2014-04-01
I'm on Juho CNET then I'm here with the Sony Xperia z2 tablet a 10.1 inch Android slade's measuring a ridiculous six point four millimeters thick but it still packs in some seriously powerful tech pick versed to up and you'll immediately be struck by how skinny this thing actually is feels much more like you're grabbing a thin pamphlet than a tablet something helped by its lightweight 10.1 inch display means it's quite wide but that's made much worse by having such huge bezels around the screen I mean sure why bezels give you something to hold but this is just needlessly wasted space that makes a screen look all squashed in on the plus side of the screen is bright crisp and it has great colors and you can customize the color balance if you prefer things to look a bit warmer like its predecessor the z2 tablet is completely waterproof not only keeps it safe from spilled drinks but it also means you can happily prop it up in your kitchen while cooking safe in the knowledge that you can rinse it under the tap when it inevitably gets covered in sauce inside it's running a 2.3 gigahertz quad-core processor which gave some excellent results in my benchmark tests easily handle the high-definition gaming and video streaming and navigating around the Android 4.4.2 kitkat interface was a breeze sony has squashed a six thousand milliamp an hour battery into the skinny buddy which I found to be something of a mixed bag on the plus side it kept going on my video drain test for over 12 hours putting it right alongside the iPad air and the downside to battery drained away quickly in standby mode and it used so much power when gaming but it lost charge even when it was plugged in the drain test shows that the battery is very capable so I'm more tempted to blame the software for the odd performance issues fingers crossed this is something that Sony can fix in a software update although the battery is a slight concern the Xperia z2 tablet is still a great looking powerful slate if you're after a 10 inch tablet and don't fancy giving Apple or if you're just very clumsy around water it's definitely worth checking out I'm Andrew Hoff CNET and this is a Sony Xperia z2 tablet
