If you thought that Sony was only going to announce one flagship product today then you need to think again. Along side the Xperia Z2, the companies newest Android flagship smartphone, Sony also announced the Xperia Z2 Tablet. As you’d expect, the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet  is the companies next flagship Android tablet. Following in the footsteps of the Xperia Z2 which built upon the success of the Xperia Z1, the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet takes most of its cues from the Xperia Tablet Z though the improvements are quite noticeable for those looking for minimum weight and maximum power.

Lets talk Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet specs, after the jump.

While there is a lot to know about the Xperia Z2 Tablet, lets get the nitty gritty specs out of the way.

  • 10.1-inch FHD Triluminos Display with Live Colour LED
  • 2.3 GHz Quad-core Snapdragon 801
  • Adreno 330 graphics
  • 3GB RAM
  • microSD Support
  • 8-megapixel Exmor RS
  • 2.2-megapixel Front Facing Camera
  • Wi-Fi
  • LTE
  • NFC
  • Bluetooth 4.1
  • 6000mAh Battery

With a IP58 waterproof certification, the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet offers a similar design as its predecessor though Sony has somehow managed to make it even thinner. Previously, the Sony Xperia Tablet Z was considered the worlds thinnest 10.1-inch tablet and the Xperia Z2 Tablet is no thinner. This time around, Sony has been able to reduce the size by a few millimeter (6.4mm) and the weight by 70 grams (426g for Wi-Fi and 439g for LTE).

With no fancy 4K recording like the flagship Xperia Z2, Sony is making entertainment the focus of their newest tablet. This results in a new stereo speaker design with S-Force Surround Sound for better audio while watching movies and playing games. Sony has also repositioned the speakers from the sides to the front where you won’t as easily cover them and thus, muffle the sound. Music fans should about the built in Digital Noise Canceling technology, ensuring richer audio from any headphone plugged in.

Speaking of gaming, the Z2 Tablet incorporates support for the PlayStation DualShock 3 controller for a better gaming experience. Tapping into expertise of the Bravia division, the Xperia Z2 Tablets 10.1-inch screen features a FHD Triluminos Display and Live Colour LED with vivid details and bright colors. To further push the entertainment theme of the tablet, Sony is tapping into Sony Pictures and bundling six films from the studio.

Coming in black or white, the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet will launch worldwide in March. Sony has yet to issue a price point though it be hard to imagine the entry model not starting at $499.
