design
How could it be otherwise in the part tabletas From Sony we see the same design that has characterized its devices since the creation of the Sony Xperia Z family. The Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet is almost identical to its predecessorto the point of maintaining exactly the same measurements in terms of length and width, although a good job has been done on the thickness, with 0.5 mm less than the first model, as well as on the weight, reduced by almost 60 grams .
The body at all which in turn makes the task easier offer great resistance tabletassuitable for IPX5 and IPX8 certifications for water resistance (the Sony Xperia Tablet Z was only up to IPX7) and IP5X for dust resistance.
Screen
The panel to be used emplees the same one that we saw in the Sony Xperia Z2, viz IPS Triluminos technology seasoned with the X-Reality Engine and Live Color LEDwhich guarantees us much more vivid colors, at least on paper, as well as much higher viewing angles.
We must remember that the original model even with the The same Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1200, which includes an LCD screen, so the leap in quality should be noticeable on the current model. The size also remains the same at 10.1 inches.
camera
It is at least one of the sections where the device is being developedand it is that we see practically the same configuration, except for the sensor change, from the house’s Exmor R to the Exmor RS. In numbers we will see the same megapixels in both the front and rear cameras. In this way, we have to reckon with a afín quality in both models, which is in no way inferior to the new one.
hardware
If the previous article is one of the least touched, we cánido say the opposite hardware internal. The good thing about waiting more than a year for the product to wash an image is that you perro delivers a quantum leap in performanceand it is that there are two generations of it chipsets in these months.
So we switched from Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro with frequencies of 1.5 GHz and Adreno 320 GPU to the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 with 2.3 GHz and Adreno 330 GPU The Sony Xperia Z2 tablet will multiply the raw performance of the first system many times over. Don’t take my words wrong, the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro is still perfectly valid and perro still make a difference Perhaps the company should take care of itself and wait at least a year before renewing smart phonenot every 6 months as happened recently to espectáculo real improvement.
programa
Of course, the Sony Xperia Z2 tablet will also come onto the market latest version of the platform so far, Android 4.4.2 KitKatwhich in itself enhances what is seen in the other tabletas, which is still waiting for the long-awaited update, while still on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. As usual with Sony, we’re going to have a custom layer that’s not cluttered, fairly clean, and the programa off camera It comes with some features that we’ve already seen in the Sony Xperia Z1.
Conclusions
Even in this case, although the average usuario will not be grateful, there is a big leap in general details such as: the best screen or the significant increase in performance Yes, they perro offer enough to make the decision to switch from the Sony Xperia Tablet Z to this Sony Xperia Z2 tablet, which we perro’t say when we talk about it smart phone from the Japanese company.
This way we’ll continue to enjoy the same minimalist design Sony is used to, as well as the ultra-thin appearance and durability that update both levels programa as in level hardware, which is certainly one of the best options when choosing a 10 inch computer.
