Sony’s waterproof tablet up for pre-order @ Rs 44,990

NEW DELHI: Sony Xperia
Tablet Z, unveiled at Consumer Electronics Show 2013 in US, is now
available for pre-order in India. Major online retailers are taking
advance bookings for the device, which is scheduled to be launched early
next month. Flipkart, Snapdeal and Infibeam are offering the device with 16GB storage and Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity for Rs 44,990 approximately.
Xperia Tablet Z runs on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) out-of-the-box and
has waistline of just 6.9mm, thinner than that of rivals like Apple iPad
and Google Nexus 10. Another key feature is its shockproof, dust
resistant and waterproof body, which makes it largely impervious to
damage.
The all-new Xperia Tablet Z by Sony features a 10.1-inch
TFT touchscreen with Mobile Bravia Engine 2 display technology and image
resolution of 1920x1200p. It is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core
processor, coupled with 2GB RAM, and 32GB onboard storage, with microSD
support of up to 32GB. The tablet has an 8.1MP camera with Exmor R
imaging technology and LED flash on the back, a feature no other rival
can match as of now.
Connectivity suite of Xperia Tablet Z
includes top notch features like 4G LTE as well as NFC, along with
standard options like 2G, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and microUSB. Powered
by a 6,000mAh battery, the device will be available in black and white
colours. Sony has also included its proprietary S-Force virtual surround
sound technology in the tablet for enhanced audio quality.
This is the third tablet by Sony, after Xperia Tablet S and Xperia Tablet P, which failed to make their mark in the market.
