[Q] Opinions on Z4 Tablet

[dmooney7291]

Hi, what is everyone's opinion on this tablet, are you planning on purchasing it?

It says on the first line of the forum:

********ATTENTION! NO QUESTIONS IN GENERAL*******

Clearly your question belongs to the Q&A section of the forum (Not to mention that it sounds like a vague and open ended question which is inherently difficult to answer.)

I can see that as a new member you have been posting all over the place like many new members do to reach a higher member status, and nothing wrong with that, but please consider that if we don't try to post judiciously and in accordance with the forum rules the general organization of the forum breaks and it will make it difficult for all the users to obtain information, especially in a forum like the Z4's which is still fresh and clean.

Thank you.

I've never owned a tablet but I'd say I'm 90% likely to make the Z4 my first. Nothing like starting with TOTL!

The Snapdragon 810 gives me pause due to the overheating rumors, even if they have been *mostly* debunked from what I've read. Still, I'm going to wait until it's been out for a few weeks and I've read some reviews before I make up my mind.

This has pretty much everything I want in a tablet. It's the perfect size, lightweight, has a nice aspect ratio (unlike Nexus 9) and resolution, water/dust resistant, microSD slot, 64-bit CPU, 3 GB RAM... Hopefully the battery life is good (specs indicate it will be).

My only question is whether Sony tablets are closer to stock Android than, say, Samsung TouchWiz (ick). Also I hope gaining root will be fairly easy (I assume it will since it won't be carrier-specific). I've learned some lessons from my Verizon Note 4, which remains un-rootable and I despise TouchWiz.

I hope to pre-order whenever it becomes availabe in the US, if it ever does. Sony makes great tablets. Love my Z2, and making it even slimmer and lighter will only make it better, in my opinion. Plus the keyboard dock has me intrigued.

Ive preordered it, cant wait! I have the z3 and z3 tablet, the z4 tablet will replace my surface pro 3 now that MS office works very well on android tablets.

if my sweet wife lets me, I will have this tablet. I currently have the z1 and love it, can't wait to get the z4.

It is so much exciting using in Z4, if you add a whole key-board. I merely enjoy this particular.

Im using z4 tab for a week now, the screen is great, very bright and A bit bigger than my previous tab(z2) but with smaller size , very thin and light, just waiting for the protective case as its not release yet.....its also alot faster switching apps, loading, even wifi connecting is faster, when comparing the usage of z2 tab by using same app remote computer video streaming it sees the differences! Im looking for now a safe way to root.....

The tablet is nearly perfect. Definitely the best I have ever owned. No major issues and don't worry, the 810 likely will only overheat after using the camera and fancy filters(which I will never use). Day to day use or gaming and video playback causes no issues. Office apps work and look great. Screen quality is amazing.
