Sony has made its impressive Xperia Tablet Z available for pre-order.
The new tab is a full-sized 10.1-inch tablet that is just 6.9mm thick, even thinner than the iPad Mini.
Under the hood, the tablet runs on Android 4.1, features a 1920x1200 resolution, a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, LTE, NFC, and IR blaster and an 8MP "backside-illuminated sensor" camera. It is all powered by a large 6000mAh battery. Sony also says the device is fully waterproof and dustproof.
Finally, the company is promoting a new feature it calls "S-Force Front Surround 3D," which supposedly helps convey a feeling of surround sound and spacial movement.
"Xperia Tablet Z sets new standards in entertainment by matching premium specifications and Sony technology with cross-device connectivity and a consistent user-experience," said Kaz Tajima, Corporate Vice President, Head of UX Creative Design and Planning, at Sony Mobile Communications. "Xperia Tablet Z reinforces our intention to be a leading player in the premium Android device market, by building on the principles established by Xperia Z and perfectly optimising them for the tablet form factor."
The tablet will sell for $499 for a 32GB version and $599 for a 64GB version. Pre-order models can be purchased with the optional cradle (as seen below)
