The product has received the largest number of pre-orders of any Sony tablet to date.
Xperia Tablet Z has been created to capture the very best of Sony’s technology, design, connectivity and entertainment in a premium high-performance water-resistant tablet. It includes Sony’s OmniBalance design that perfectly complements its smartphone sibling, Xperia Z. Xperia Tablet Z is available in black or white finishes and in 4G or WiFi versions.
Tomokazu Tajima, senior VP, head of UX Creative Design and Planning at Sony Mobile Communications, said: "Xperia Tablet Z has received an incredibly positive response since it was announced and this is demonstrated by the strong pre-orders the product has received.
"We believe we have created the ultimate tablet experience and one that is uniquely Sony. Who else would design a tablet that can be used as a media centre, a TV remote control, as well as sync seamlessly with Xperia Z and be submerged for 30 minutes underwater?"
