Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet, in our view, it looks pretty. But its appearance evokes a feeling of deja vu: the same thing we saw last year at the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet. The plates are easy to distinguish from each other: similar shapes and sizes, matt plastic back, the same round power button and speakers on the front panel. Changes little: add metal corners on the edges of the housing, the lens 'slipped' a little lower. With the USB-plug connector plate removed and moved to the right, proudly calling it the term «Cap-less USB» (allusion to the absence of waterproof cap on the port). Because of this, the bottom disappeared connector for wireless charging. As before, mostly plastic body, and Screen Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet covered with protective glass. Build quality is proved good for thin plate: nothing crunches, although he slightly bends when pressure is applied. The main "chip", as, indeed, always, is to waterproof the body - it is possible to pour water or even be immersed to a depth of one and a half meters.In this scenario, full immersion is not essential to use, do not go too far with bathing devices. So, after a dive into the water, our Xperia Tablet Z4 zaglyuchil. Apparently, the drop fails got into the headphone jack: tablet every half gave the message that it someone connects headphones. After a few moments just got off without end-activated. As a result, we had to take advantage of proprietary utilities for system recovery. The tablet will function normally, but all personal data and settings have been lost. Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet can be bought in black and white.

The fact is that the tablet has got Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 810, the infamous its overheating. Its features can be seen on the results of benchmarks: first filling shows the highest results, but after a few iterations of the body starts to heat up, and the scores in tests - to fall by 20-40%. However, in general it does not affect the overall performance in everyday use - Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet runs briskly. Games level NOVA 3 and Asphalt 8 loaded quickly and run smoothly. The plate shows the benchmark top results:
- Epic Citadel - 47,1 fps on ultra-high settings and resolution of 2560 × 1504 pixels. After several iterations - only 34,6 fps;
- Basemark OS II - 1639 points, after a short "warm-up" - 1562;

Display
Display tablet Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet uniquely pleasing to the eye, it is one of the best on the market. Compared with its predecessor, raised screen with Full HD resolution of up to Quad HD (2560 × 1600 pixels). Also, viewing angles from Sony Xperia Z4 got a little wider. Moreover, if such a permit for smartphones excessively, then the 10-inch tablet is important and noticeable to the eye - the picture becomes much clearer. The pixel density has increased from 224 to 299 dpi, it is clearer than the 8-inch Sony Xperia Tablet Z3 Compact . The display is covered with a protective glass. It is also stated that the oleophobic coating is applied, but it does not really help - the screen is permanently in divorce.The maximum measured brightness of the tablet Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet was 403 cd / m2, the result, as in the past year, slightly above average. He almost did not glare and easy to read outdoors on a sunny day. The minimum brightness - about 4 cd / m2, which is comfortable for reading in the dark. Contrast was also at a good level - 845: 1, although the majority of the top plate, and even his predecessor, show the contrast of 1000: 1 and higher. The brightness distribution Xperia Z4 was enough uniform - 90%. The color gamut of the display - a little wider than the standard sRGB. As a result, it is stretching the truth a little bit with flowers and color accuracy, we can only be called average. Of special mention is the white balance setting for the three colors and the adaptive brightness control (Auto-Brightness). Fires it quickly enough, is a sensor near the lens.
Battery
The battery life of Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet we evaluated on a solid four. The tablet runs long, but gets faster than top competitors like Apple iPad Air 2 or Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. The battery capacity has remained the same as in Tablet Z2 - 6000 mAh. In tablet mode, the load in our tests lasted a little less than 4 hours and losing Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (5,5 hours), Apple iPad Air 2 (4 hours), and even Xperia Z2 Tablet (4 hours 20 minutes). Videomarafon dislpeya the brightness of 150 cd / m2 discharged tablet for 9 hours, although the manufacturer promises twice as many as up to 17 hours! In the off-peak Sony Xperia Tablet Z4 worked for almost 20 hours, it is not the most outstanding result at Apple iPad Air 2. On a full charge the tablet (bundled charger 1.5 A) out at 5.5 hours. The process was slow, and in some applications even pops up a message saying that the device is discharged quicker than charging. To save power, a mode Stamina (capacity limitation, deactivating applications, Wi-Fi and mobile data) and low battery mode (saving on everything, including screen brightness).Software
Tablet Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet runs on the operating system Android 5.0 Lollipop. Through proprietary shell from Sony all the icons, keyboard and desktop looks quite unusual. The tablet can make calls, connect to a Play Station 4, adjust the white balance of the three colors, and even it can be configured for multiple users. Of interesting - when you press the Menu button, you can run a number of applications in a separate small window, for example, browser, music, or a timer. If desired, in this list, you can add other applications or widgets from Play Market. The fact that the smartphone Sony Xperia Z3 + looks normal, 10-inch screen - is too small. In our opinion, the tablet Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet still "blocked" applications, it can be seen even by the fact that the user can use only 22 GB of 32 GB. At the same time they can hardly be called superfluous: these are different multimedia services, navigation by Garmin, application remote control for the TV, a simple application for image and video processing, and so on. From them can be removed just a few applications.Cameras

Note that "superavtorezhime", which is the default, the resolution to "cut" to 6 MP. The front camera Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet 5 MP copes well with advanced self - until it is unusual for tablets.
