Sony is set to launch a new tablet called the ‘Xperia Tablet Z’ according to a leak on twitter. Our sources tell us that that tablet codename is Pollux with model number C690X in the west and SO-03E for NTT DoCoMo in Japan. This is the first tablet to be developed by Sony Mobile rather than Sony, which developed the previous tablets. Therefore, the design signature and UI should be much more similar to Sony’s smartphones going forward.
According to the leak, the Xperia Tablet Z will have a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon chipset (APQ8064), 10.1-inch (1920 x 1200 pixel) display, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, LTE, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front camera, a water/dust resistant chassis and a 6000mAh battery. It will be available in black and white and set to be extremely thin, just 6.9mm in thickness. We hope to hear more details on the Xperia Tablet Z shortly.
