Sony Xperia Tablet Z Announced in Japan. New Flagship For Sony?

Sony has announced the launch of its Xperia Tablet Z according to an Engadget report. The Sony Xperia Tablet Z reportedly has a 10.1 inch display screen with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels and has a 1.5GHz quad core processor. If the screen resolution being higher than the usual of 1920x1080 is true, that would mean movies/games would be letterboxed, and apps would look slightly stretched.

Sony Xperia Tablet Z runs on the Android 4.1 operating system and an 8MP rear camera is also expected.

The tablet has been unveiled after the Sony Xperia Z smartphone, which was announced at the recently concluded CES 2013. The Sony Xperia Z phone is Sony's flagship smartphone, going by its features and specifications.

Going by its rumoured technical specifications and keeping in mind tablets of similar range, the Sony Xperia Tablet Z might jusyt be Sony's flagship tablet. Click here for full technical specifications of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z.

A notable aspect in the device is said to be Sony's new feature called “S-Force front surround 3D” which is touted to provide quality multimedia experience. Another feature of the gadget is that it is claimed to be waterproof as well as dust-proof that could give it another edge.

According to reports, Sony will launch the tablet in Japan this year and later in other countries. At this stage, we don't have details of the India-launch timing, or the Rupee price tag of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z.

It would be interesting to see how the Xperia Tablet Z performs in the presence of devices like Google Nexus 7. which are currently available in the market and are taking gadget lovers across countries by storm.
