Verdict

The Sony Xperia Tablet Z LTE is a high-end 10.1-inch Android tablet distinguished by its remarkably thin 6.9mm profile and IP55/57-certified water and dust resistance. It features a sharp 1920x1200 WUXGA display powered by the Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 and is equipped with a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage expandable via microSD. Main pros include its ultra-lightweight 495g design, LTE connectivity, and a versatile IR blaster for remote control functionality. However, it suffers from some cons, such as a relatively small 6000mAh battery that leads to mediocre battery life, slow charging speeds, and a plastic-like screen protector that is prone to smudges and scratches.
