Today in Barcelona, Sony announced the successor to the Tablet Z, the Z2 Tablet. Coming in with a 10.1Inch Triluminos Display with Live Colour LED and powered by the 2.3GHz Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and 3GB RAM the Z2 Tablet shares a lot with its namesake phone in terms of design language. The Xperia Z2 Tablet is the slimmest and lightest 10.1inch tablet out there coming in at 6.4mm thin and only 426g/439g for WiFi/LTE model respectively. Rounding off the specs is an 8.1MP rear camera and 2.2 front facer so unfortunately no 4K recording here.
