Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact

 

A sexy 8-inch Android tablet, but the price is less attractive

Attractive, slim design ; Excellent screen ; Good battery life and fast-charging feature

Too much bloatware ; Pricier than the Android competition

While it's true that in terms of pure pixels the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact's display is trailing behind those seen on its rivals, you never really get the feeling that you're missing out. Text is sharp and images look clear and defined, so unless you're...

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact review

 

Sony's Z3 family goes from strength to strength with this tablet, with a superb performance Android can be proud of

Good video performance Strong audio High-res support Impressive battery life Slim, stylish design

A lot of Sony services and apps pre-installed

The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is an excellent addition to the Z3 family, offering a great video experience, a superb way with music and a startlingly good battery life – all wrapped up in a slim and stylish shell. While its name might be a bit of a...

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact review

 

Small yet perfectly formed

Great battery life ; Very thin and light ; Vivid screen ; Offers PS4 Share Play

Screen sharpness beaten by others ; Not incredible value

It doesn't offer staggering value, but a very slim, very light waterproof frame and good performance keep this riding high among the most attractive choices for on-the-go tablet fondlers.

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact review: Powerful, portable, pricey

 

Sony's appetite for smartphone releases isn't quite matched by its schedule for tablets, the latest of which sees Sony trying to crack the smaller tablet segment. Sony has made a play for portability with the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact and there's no...

Portability, waterproofing, PS4 Remote Play feature (for gamers), plenty of power, lasting battery life

Price is too high, bezels make it feel longer than it needs to be, display resolution could be higher

Sony has made a play for portability with the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact and there's no denying that's been achieved, in spite of the bezel present at both ends. As a tablet to throw in a bag and take with you on the move, it gets the core design right.

The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is undoubtedly a premium tablet. Its build quality is fantastic, it’s razor-thin, making it easy and convenient to carry around and the water and dust-proofing makes it more practical than its rivals. The addition of...

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact vs Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet comparison review

 

Sony recently gave the whole world of tech the eyes, and launched the Xperia Z4... as a tablet. We're still waiting to find out what is happening with the Xperia Z4 smartphone, and indeed whether Sony is committed at all to making phones. It would be a...

This is a case of horses for courses. The 8in form factor is great for reading, or watching and playing whilst on the move. If you need to stand up on your commute, for instance. Meanwhile Sony's 10in tablet is a stylish and powerful full-sized slate....

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact video review: A great iPad mini and Galaxy Tab S rival

 

It may be a bit of a mouthful and what the Xperia Z Ultra should have been, but the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is here and costs £329. That's a tenner more than rivals like the iPad mini 3 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 in terms of RRP.

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact review

 

It may be a bit of a mouthful and what the Xperia Z Ultra should have been when it launched, but Sony has finally satisfied our desire to see a smaller non-10in tablet. It's called the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact and starts at a £329 meaning it's more...

It's great to see Sony finally make a smaller tablet and the 8in form factor is proving to be increasingly popular. The Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is super thin and light and is waterproof to boot. Hardware is decent but not mind-blowing and while rivals...

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact review

 

Sony's new 8in tablet is wordy by name, nerdy by nature.

Neat little movie tab ; Waterproof ; Great battery life ; Expandable storage

You can get an iPad Mini 2 for £240 ; Not all Android apps are optimised ; Sony pushes some services

As portable as it is powerful, the Z3 Tablet Compact proves Sony tabs can be easy to live with
