I'll try to summarize my first impressions below.
# A while lightweight design
I'll repeat myself but one of the big strengths of this tablet is its lightness. It is as light as my smartphone! And despite its lightness and finesse the autonomy remains very good as you will see a little further.
My old tablet was 10, I was looking for a more compact to make it easier to take it on the go and that size 8 is perfect for my needs. She goes into the inside pockets of my jackets, given its lightness it is not annoying. By cons, if you begin to put the smartphone + tablet it's getting a little heavy
Another highlight of the tablet is waterproof. The manufacturer announced 1,5m!
Last night i took my first bath with my tablet. Javais a little scared, well i checked 3 times the USB door was closed and I started This is super nice to take a bath and watch videos simultaneously. I do not lai bought this at but I feel that I will soon get used to my
# Very good record for movies
Lai I used during my last trip by train and threw surprised by the autonomy and video quality. At no surprises screen, the colors are beautiful, the contrast is very good even sil there is the sun (during my train journey i havent felt no discomfort from this point of view), nothing to say Sony can handle video quality on its screens.
The audio output is very good. (I think I'll macheter the noise-canceling headphones optional, I saw that it was priced around 50 and allows datténuer outside noise in transport)
At storing it is quickly limited by the 16GB it will therefore think of buying a memory card to store more films there and his music.
# A whopping
I was very impressed with the autonomy of my new tablet. When I travel by train, after 4 hours of video, the battery was still at 67% capacity! Navais I never had it before on a mobile product (smartphone, or PC) This is super nice not having to recharge its products every 2 or 3 days I hope that the autonomy will not drop too much in time but for now this is TOP.
# Latest technology, but no 3G on this model
Conventional connectors include: WiFi, Bluetooth, Miracast, NFC, infrared.
NFC is very convenient. Jai had to last Christmas NFC Bluetooth headset, it is sufficient that the helmet japproche tablet and they recognize automatically, the sound comes out of my helmet Whenever I will use that I find this magical At least the NFC is not bridled unlike here the other Apple brand (dailleurs this is why I did not want dipad!)
By cons, if you often lacking The location moves to put a 3G chip. We are obliged to connect to its Samartphone to connect to the Internet. I believe quune 3G / 4G release will be soon.
A shame for a shelf located in this price range, but in my use is mainly at home, it does not bother me.
# The proposed applications
The tablet is equipped with the latest version of Android 4.4 (kitkat)
No heavy overcoat manufacturer or added menu everywhere. The menus are simple and easy to use.
I started watching the proposed Sony applications, in addition to the usual shops (purchase of films, music, games), I discovered some interesting applications:
- Info-eye: you take an object picture and the tablet will look for information on the internet on this item. Cest gadget but quite fun and effective. I tried on a bottle of wine (tasting i had information, a box of playmobile (i had sales sites), a book,
- The application walkman is pretty well done, it brings together all the music under a single easy to use application (stored on the smartphone or cloud)
I have not yet tested PS4 The application, I will try my look this weekend. DAfter Sony can play its PS4 games directly on the tablet. This will prevent remote battles some evenings in the living room sofa when I will give a post jaurai had time to do so if it interests some people.
# Audio Quality
Nothing to say, this is sure it is not in front of a home theater so the bass are not very present but the speakers are effective.
The tablet is compatible with high definition audio, but for the moment I havent nen
The tablet also includes a system for reducing the ambient noise. I thought it was working with nimporte helmet but what makes it a must-compatible Sony headphones. The ref is MDRNC31 that I found. It costs less than 50 it's a shame that it is not included with the tablet at this price level
# Concluding
If you are looking for a product to watch movies, play games, surf the internet, on the go this tablet is ideal.
Not too big, very light, great autonomy, it will be your ideal companion.
The price is a little high but when the hand we see the difference immediately with other cheaper tablets Besides its waterproof the side will be less fragile than other tablets
