Sony's 10.1-inch Xperia Tablet Z Is Waterproof, Thinner Than iPad Mini

Sony hasn’t been an influential player in the tablet space, but they’re challenging that perception today with the unveiling of the 10.1-inch Xperia Tablet Z. It’s thinner than the iPad Mini, it packs 4G LTE support, and it’s even waterproof.

On the outside, it measures a sexy 6.9mm-thin and weighs 495 grams. For some perspective, Apple’s iPad Mini comes in at 7.2mm thick, the iPad 4 at 9.4mm, and Google’s Nexus 10 clocks in at 8.9mm thick.

On the inside, Sony is bringing a Qualcomm 1.5Ghz quad-core Snapdragon chip, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage (more importantly you’ll also get microSD expansion), NFC and LTE support, an 8.1 megapixel Exmor R camera, and a 1920 x 1200 resolution display augmented by Sony’s Mobile Bravia Engine. The inclusion of the Mobile Bravia Engine is a crucial footnote, as Sony’s image-enhancing technology really does add vibrancy and color depth to screens of any size.
