Xperia Tablet Z now in Malaysia

Sony Mobile Communications (Sony Mobile) and Celcom Axiata Berhad announced the local availability of the Xperia Tablet Z – the world’s slimmest and lightest water resistant tablet.

First previewed during the local launch of the Xperia Z back in March, Xperia Tablet Z is the most premium, high performance 10.1” Android tablet available.

Built from quality materials and featuring the same stunning OmniBalance design as its smartphone sibling, Xperia Tablet Z is also incredibly slim and lightweight at 6.9mm and 495g.

”Xperia Tablet Z sets new standards in entertainment by matching premium specifications and Sony technology with cross-device connectivity and a consistent user-experience.

"This device 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 to the tablet form factor,” said Ola Lilja Molén, Head of SEA Markets at Sony Mobile Communications.

Xperia Tablet Z will launch on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and is upgradable to 4.2 post launch for the latest Android user experience. Available starting 15 June in LTE and WiFi versions, the Xperia Tablet Z will retail for RM1,999.

Xperia Tablet Z includes the very best of Sony technology. With a 10.1” HD WUXGA Display, powered by Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2, it delivers enhanced colour reproduction for a brilliant TV-like viewing experience.

It also draws upon Sony’s camera expertise with an 8MP rear camera featuring “Exmor R for mobile” as well as a 2MP HD front-facing camera for capturing the best images in any condition.

Sony’s S-Force Front Surround 3D, guarantees soul-shaking audio performance alongside Sony’s Clear Audio+ mode and the innovative use of two in-built speakers with four ‘speaker halls’ on the left and right corners delivers amazing sound no matter how it is held.

Available in Black or White and in WiFi and LTE versions, it is the first tablet to run on Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Pro asynchronous quad core processor and has the highest levels of water resistance (IP55 & IP57) ever delivered in a tablet, making it immune to accidental spills and splashes.
