  • The 8.1MP rear camera is considered mediocre, producing grainy or washed-out images.

  • The matte plastic back is prone to picking up oily fingerprints and scuff marks.

Verdict

The Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet 4G is an ultra-slim 10.1-inch Android device featuring a stunning 2K (2560 x 1600) Triluminos display and a powerful 2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor. With 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage (expandable up to 128GB via microSD), it offers smooth performance for multitasking and high-resolution media. Main characteristics include its incredibly lightweight 393g chassis, a thin 6.1mm profile, and an IP65/68 waterproof and dust-tight rating that allows for submersions in freshwater. Pros include its exceptionally bright and sharp screen, industry-leading battery life of up to 17 hours of video playback, and high-quality front-facing 5.1MP camera for video calls. Cons include the premium price point, the potentially cramped typing experience on its optional Bluetooth keyboard, and occasional heat issues common with the Snapdragon 810 chip during intensive use.
