BARCELONA — Sony did not bring a new flagship smartphone to Mobile World Congress this year, but it did show us its lightest and slimmest 10.1-inch tablet yet — the Xperia Z4 Tablet.
With this device, Sony actually skipped a number. The last 10.1-inch tablet it launched was the Xperia Z2 Tablet, which was followed by the smaller, 8-inch Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact.
That gave Sony a full year to improve its big tablet, and it did not disappoint — at 389 grams and 6.1 millimeters, it's pushing the boundaries of its category. For comparison, Samsung's Galaxy Tablet S is 6.6mm thick and weighs 463 grams.
As far as other specs go, Sony continued the practice of cramming every possible top-notch feature into its flagship devices. The Xperia Z4 Tablet has an octa-core, Snapdragon 810 processor, a 2K display, 32GB of built-in memory, and is wateproof and dustproof up to IP68 specifications.
The device will be available in Wi-Fi and LTE variants (the second one being a little heavier at 393g). Both versions will launch globally starting June 2015.
Sony did bring a new phone to the show, albeit a mid-range one: the Xperia M4 Aqua. It's a 5.2-inch, waterproof smartphone with an octa-core, Snapdragon 615 processor, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel selfie camera on the front. It supports LTE and runs on Android 5.0 .
Xperia M4 Aqua will launch worldwide in white, black, coral and silver colors for around 299 EUR, starting spring 2015.
