Sonne did announce a flagship at MWC 2015 and its name does indeed contain the z4 moniker however it's not the Xperia z4 smartphone but the Xperia z4 tablet a slate sony claims it's the world's lightest and slimmest 10 inch tablet well at least until somebody tops that I'm Anthony Naga and this is PocketNow first look at the Xperia z4 tablet you can only manufacture a lightweight tablet and claim it to be the lightest if you're using light materials and glass is not among them so don't expect to see it on the back of this slate however expect to be surprised at how light the Xperia z4 tablet feels at 389 grams for the Wi-Fi only version and 390 340 LT enabled variety it is even lighter than the already lightweight Apple iPad air 2 we are still recovering from our amazement it is that light and if you get past the initial surprise you'll be amazed a second time at how thin the tablet is 6.1 millimeters that is really thin but despite the lightweight and thin form factor it doesn't feel at all on substantial it is sturdy well-built and you won't be afraid to handle it worrying that it might bend or break we think the white color doesn't really do it any justice as we prefer the looks of the black version but that's a matter of a personal preference performance however is not and then 2015 we no longer accept to see Android flagship tablets that are lagging luckily this is not the case with the Xperia z4 tablet as we did not manage to bug down the demo unit a unit everybody was abusing on the show floor that has a lot to do with the flagship internals sony has packed inside from the 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor clocking at 2 gigahertz to the Adreno 430 GPU all the way to the three gigs of ram Android lollipop helps a lot as well as the tablet chips with this version out of the box and the fairly toned-down sony UI at least compared to previous versions is also a big help in maintaining a fluid operation all the way throughout despite the otherwise beautiful 10.1 inch 2k display which is extremely bright sony claims long battery life up to 17 hours of video playback we are not able to verify that until we extensively use the tablet but the 6,000 milliamp hour battery and gentle power handling on the processor are probably the ones to thank for this like any of Sony's recent flagship offerings the z4 tablet is also water and dust proof with an ip65 and ip68 compliant build additionally you get 32 gigs of internal storage that's expandable and a pair of 8.1 and 5.1 megapixel shooters for the back and front respectively LTE capability is present on the cellular enabled version and the audio files among you will be happy to hear high res audio coming out of the headphone jack or blasting from the stereo front-facing speakers during our short time with lollipop and Sony's own skin we found it to be stutter or lag free those who owned previous Sony smartphones or tablets will feel right at home and those who will use the tablet for the first time we'll have a short learning curve the new Sony UI is relatively lightweight and the beautifully executed Walkman or album applications will make sure you enjoy media consumption on the device you'll have to get used to some of Sony's candy-like icons but they're not too heavy on your senses and lollipop is dominant both in key regions like the navigation buttons notification tray multitasking some of the menus settings to a certain degree and so on repair your wallet for June wherever you live if this tablet has got your attention wait for our full review coming shortly on pocket now to see whether our final impressions will match the first ones subscribe to our social media to stay up to date with everything i'm WCN not only and check pocketnow.com regularly for updates banan Cindy nod thanking you for your time I'll see you soon with the next video you
