Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet goes on sale in the Philippines

MANILA, Philippines – Sony announced availability of its new Xperia Z2 Tablet in the Philippines on Friday, May 23. The new tablet is available in black and white variants at Sony Centers, and Xperia and VAIO shops for P34,990.

Announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona back in February, the Z2 Tablet is the tablet version of Sony’s flagship smartphone the Xperia Z2. Both devices share a similar spec sheet including a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and 3GB of RAM.

The Z2 tablet sports a larger 10.1-inch Full HD Triluminos Display and a bigger 6000 mAh battery but doesn’t come with the same high-end camera in the Z2 smartphone. Instead the tablet includes 8.1MP and 2.2MP main and front facing cameras respectively.

Sony’s claim that the device is world’s “slimmest and lightest waterproof” tablet is still pretty much spot on. Measuring 6.4mm in width and weighing 426g the Z2 Tablet is thinner and lighter than even the 9.7-inch iPad Air.

Like its smartphone counterpart the tablet has an IP58 rating and is dustproof and waterproof up to 1.5m in freshwater for 30 minutes.  – Rappler.com
