I would certainly feel more confident investing in this hardier, waterproof device. It’s as thin as the iPad Air 2 (a scarcely believable 6.1mm that barely accommodates the headphone jack), and I’d even go so far as to say I prefer its look and feel over Apple’s alternative. It is an excellent ambassador for Android, lacking almost nothing in the hardware department.

The keyboard dock doesn’t help matters, either, as it has a tiny power reserve just to keep its Bluetooth radio going and doesn’t give the Z4 Tablet any extra juice.Īs a tablet, the Z4 delivers exactly what the Z2 Tablet did last year: outstanding engineering, waterproof durability, minimalist design, and high specs and performance. The Z4 Tablet still has decent battery life, but it’s not as impressive as, say, Google’s Nexus 9 or Apple’s latest iPads. That’s somewhat unusual for tablets, which can last for multiple days when left idling. I have to top up the Z4’s charge every couple of days, whether I use it or not. The actual battery is no smaller (6,000mAh) than in the Xperia Z2 Tablet, but I’m having to recharge the newer device more often. The new processor and higher-res screen may, in fact, have led to something of a downgrade as I found myself disappointed by the Z4 Tablet’s battery life. New processor and new display, but not really a new device

Performance is similarly unremarkable: this is a fast and responsive Android device, but that’s no longer a novelty like it once was.

As much of a believer as I am in high-resolution displays, Sony’s upgrade here is from high to very high, and, like the mountaintops of Everest obscured by cloud cover, I just can’t see the difference. Good luck trying to identify where those changes make a difference, though, as I sure couldn’t. Sony will tell you that the Z4 Tablet’s biggest upgrades are contained within, with a new 2560 x 1600 display stepping up the resolution from 1920 x 1200, and the Snapdragon 810 processor replacing the earlier 801.

But I also don’t find anything (other than the more convenient USB port) that I couldn’t get from last year’s model. I look all around the device, investigate every edge and surface for imperfection, and find none. Such a tale of small incremental improvements is characteristic of Sony’s Xperia development history, and it’s how we’ve arrived at excellent devices like the Xperia Z3 and Z4 smartphones and the present Z4 Tablet. In response to user feedback bemoaning the vastness of the bezels around the screen, Sony has shrunken those down as well. Sony has also taken out its engineering razor and somehow found a few spare millimeters and grams to shave off the tablet’s weight and thickness. Waterproof once again, the Z4 Tablet has evolved to now also include a capless USB port, removing the annoying flappy cover of its predecessor. That’s is an important and powerful combination, as it allows you to toss the tablet around like a literal notebook, not having to worry about the added fragility of it being a piece of high-tech equipment. This is still one of the best-engineered electronic devices on the market, feeling featherweight and durable at the same time. In spite of its name inflation, the Xperia Z4 Tablet is actually the successor to last year’s Xperia Z2 Tablet, and very little has changed in the way it looks and feels.
