A screen as impressive as HDTV – HD Reality Display
Feel like you’re there with the razor-sharp, super-bright 10.1” HD Reality Display. Sony’s rich experience in display innovation continues. Having brought 3D, Blu-ray and 4k to consumer electronics, we’ve now brought Reality Display to an HD tablet. We use the expertise from our BRAVIA® TV engineers when developing our mobile screens, to bring you the same quality you’d expect from a top-quality HDTV.
The most vivid colours – through Sony screen technology
Xperia Tablet Z brings revolutionary screen technology to the tablet viewing experience. With a full wide colour gamut, Xperia Tablet Z reproduces the widest colour spectrum, so you can view every detail in vivid colour. Both still and moving images are brought to life, for a no-compromise viewing experience.
Watch the video to see how Xperia™ Tablet Z delivers the most vivid viewing experience.
True Screen intelligence – Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2
The second generation of our acclaimed Mobile BRAVIA® Engine, Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 delivers an even better viewing experience by adding new real-time contrast optimisation to the sharpness enhancement, high-quality colour management and noise reduction. Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 is also able to analyse content type and adjust the image accordingly. Adding Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 to the Reality Display makes for the most intelligent HD mobile phone screen – one that adapts automatically to display your content in the best way.
(1) Contrast enhancement
Contrast in images and video is enhanced by making the darkest parts slightly darker, which brings out details in the picture.
(2) Colour Management
Colour saturation is increased for specified colour ranges, which makes the colours deeper and more vivid. And the intelligent Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 software reproduces skin colour exactly as it appears to the naked eye.
(3) Noise reduction
Distortion and noise is reduced when streaming low-quality video from online sources, such as YouTube. Noise is reduced both to individual frames and between frames, for clearer viewing.
(4) Sharpness filter
Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 applies a sharpness filter to increase the overall detail level in the image. This is done by enhancing the edges and contrast without increasing noise.
Cinema-like viewing
With Sony’s unique Movies app, widescreen viewing and advanced screen technology, Xperia™ Tablet Z is the HD tablet that brings you a cinema-like film experience. The “Movies” app automatically downloads info on all the films that you have downloaded or side-loaded, and lets you view them in high quality. Browse thousands of blockbusters on Video Unlimited, sit back and watch them on the most immersive wide-screen display and get swept away by soundtracks in 3D surround sound.
The Amazing Spider-Man™ – Now available on Video Unlimited
Great viewing, indoors and out
Experience less glare with OptiContrast™. We’ve eliminated a layer of air in the construction of Xperia Tablet Z, bringing the touch panel closer to the display. This OptiContrast™ panel makes for less reflection and clearer viewing – even in bright sunlight – as well as creating a seamlessly black surface when the HD tablet is turned off. By eliminating the sensor layer and integrating the sensor on the lens, we’ve managed to increase the responsiveness of the screen too.

Minimal yet distinctive – OmniBalance design
The design of Xperia Tablet Z is focused on creating balance and symmetry in all directions. We call it OmniBalance design. OmniBalance design balances technology vs. design, letting you get so totally immersed in the content that the hardware disappears.
Xperia Tablet Z has subtly rounded edges and smooth, reflective surfaces on all sides, which are held together by an innovative skeleton frame. The glass-panelled front has a seamless surface and enhanced reflective coating.
Quality craftsmanship
Xperia™ Tablet Z was designed in collaboration with Sony consumer electronics experts for the highest quality craftsmanship and consistent attention to detail. Only premium materials were used throughout, like aluminium for the power button and durable tempered glass on the front.
Super slim and light
We’ve eliminated a layer of air and brought the display closer to the lens, for added touch sensitivity and a smaller size. This eliminated air layer, along with a new construction and skeleton frame allows for a slimness of 6.9 mm and a weight of under 500 grams.

Significantly improve battery life with Battery STAMINA mode
HD tablets and smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those apps that you’ve had open are still running in the background, using unnecessary battery. Battery STAMINA mode saves you wasted battery drain by recognising when your display is off and turning off functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you touch the screen and wake up your tablet or phone, everything is up and running again.
Get only the important notices
With Battery STAMINA mode, Wi-Fi and data traffic are disabled during standby, but you still receive alerts and alarms. As everyone has different needs, you can easily customise which apps you want to receive push notifications from, even in standby mode. Facebook notifications on or off? It’s up to you.
