I "accidentally dropped" the tablet into the faucet as it was filled with water while the device was playing an episode of Arrested Development on Netflix. I noticed that if the display is on while it's under running water, it will interpret the pressure from the faucet as touch, which makes the app that's on-screen appear to have a mind of its own. The touchscreen still functioned properly. The water droplets slipped off as if the tablet had been covered in Ultra-Ever Dry. After about 20 minutes, I took the device out of the sink to dry it off. I was a bit skeptical about dunking the Tablet Z, let alone leaving a faucet running over it. Keep in mind, we did not have three feet of water to test this with and instead opted for a bathroom sink. AdvertisementĮnlarge / Whoops! I dropped my tablet into the water. Of course, it’s still 10 inches wide, so you’ll need to account for that space in your bag. We found it much easier to hold one-handed on the train ride in to work than an iPad. It’s easy to prop up against your knees as you lie back in bed to read, and its thin profile makes it a pleasure to carry around. At 0.27 inches thick, it even beats out the iPad in thinness. When you turn off the screen, the difference between the screen and the edge of the tablet are indistinguishable, which is just another example of Sony's subtle design prowess.Īt 495 grams, the tablet is one of the lightest devices we've held in a long time. There is also a bit of space in between the screen and the edge of the body, so you can pick up the tablet without worrying that you'll accidentally activate something on-screen.

It's always been Sony's modus operandi to offer stylish products at a higher price than others, but whether it will be successful in the Android market remains to be seen.
But Sony is taking the opposite approach by producing a higher-end tablet at a premium price (a $500 price-point, to be exact). In Sony’s case, it’s competing in a market teeming with OEMs that are in a race to the bottom-the idea being that the cheapest tablet could sell the most units. But looks and feel aren't the only factors that can carry a gadget through to success. It makes devices like Apple’s fourth-generation iPad feel antiquated just by its weight alone. It’s a beautiful tablet with clean lines and a feather-light chassis. The Xperia Tablet Z is Sony's diamond in the rough.
