One of the best 10 inch Android

Qualities:
+ Quality screen, despite a pixel density (PPI) slightly down compared to the competition. But in reality, it does not really bother.
+ Lightness of machine and attractive design.
+ Sealing and dust resistance (tested with success, although I do not really need).
+ Reactivity of all (history S4 Pro instead of S600 is not a concern, as they are two processor architecture and identical GPU, a few details, the frequency) .
+ Interface Sony close to that of pure Android (not as clumsy TouchWiz overlay).
Autonomy + satisfactory given the scale of the apparatus.
+ Software Updates (for the moment, it follows well with the arrival of Android 4.2.2. The question is whether Sony will keep its promise over the long term ...).

Faults:
- Dos very messy and quite exposed to scratches (I already have two without being a nag). A little protection is not a luxury.
- Locked Bootloader: one of the advantages of Samsung devices is that it is fairly simple to install custom ROMs are (except that the guys from Samsung are rotten to share their sources, but that's another debate).
- Autonomy poorly suited for frequent travelers. Personally, I do not need more than 8 hours in a row, but it may annoy some. Remains the solution of portable chargers.
- High price.

In short, it is one of the few Android tablets 10 inches that hit me in the eye (the iPad are nice, but not at all made for me who likes fiddling). Others (like the Nexus 10) are interesting, but the lack of microSD support is an obstacle for this kind of multimedia product (the Tablet Z supports exFAT). Moreover, as I hesitated with a 7-inch more manageable, the Tablet Z is a good compromise weight / comfort. Besides, it's not for nothing that she was elected the year shelf by EISA. Anyway, since I have, I hardly use my mobile phone for more than my media consumption. In the end, it's a product that I highly recommend!
