Rumored specs include Snapdragon 800, 10.1-inch 1920×1200 display, waterproof design
A full year after the last one, we could soon see the launch of a new Android-powered Sony tablet. Serial leaker @evleaks says the device will pack a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, 3GB of RAM and a 10.1-inch 1920×1200 “Triluminos” display. Other notables are said to include 16GB of storage, expandable via microSD, 8MP and 2MP cameras, and a 6,000mAh battery. Like its predecessor, the Xperia Tablet Z, the new slate will apparently be super-thin, measuring just 6.6mm (down from the original’s 6.9mm) and boast waterproof credentials; on the software side Android 4.4 KitKat is reported.
That’s mostly standard high-end Android tablet fare, but the decision to remain at 1920×1200 resolution may raise eyebrows when rivals like Samsung are pushing to the dizzying heights of 2560×1600.
Though it’s not explicitly mentioned, it’s likely the Xperia Tablet Z2 could debut at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week. MWC was the venue for last year’s Tablet Z unveiling, and this year we’re also expecting to find out what’s next from Sony in the smartphone space.
Update: @evleaks has now shared what is claimed to be a promotional render of the new tablet showing the KitKat UI and a something reminiscent of the original Tablet Z. You’ll find it after the break.
