Hey guys, so I'm planning to buy a Sony Xperia Z4 tablet to store all my passtime photography collection and to show other people on the go. I've used the tablet long ago and the display is amazing. My only concern is that I've been noticing a lot of users complaining regarding the time the Sony Gallery app takes to render an image on other Sony Xperia smartphones. This issue seems to be there in almost all the Xperia smartphones, including last year's Xperia XZ., and Sony has yet to fix it. I should also mention that I do have a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact and rendering a single image from the gallery takes some 3-4 seconds.

I've also seen users comment about that even other third-party apps takes time to render an image. I'm sure many Sony Xperia smartphone users have faced this annoying issue but I haven't seen anyone talk about if it's happening with the Xperia Z4 Tablet. If the tablet is also causing the same issue then there is no point for me to shell out so much to buy it.

If anyone could be kind enough actually upload some images taken by my Sony A6000 and let me know if the render takes time to load on the on the Sony gallery of your the Z4 Tablet. Just to mention if anyone asks me to try it out in a store here, the Z4 tab isn't officially sold here in Dubai any longer and they don't have them on display. Images can be downloaded from this link. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzqyqBqAywY5MGp1dldsZkJ3ZDg?usp=sharing

I don't have the tablet with me right now, but loading images is fine. I'm using F-Stop Gallery and QuickPic (neutered) by the way and also have big dSLR images. Viewing speed is not perfect, but fine. Fine, because on any Android device I've owned there's a very slight delay for images to become fully sharp. It takes a bit less than a second.

Thanks for the reply buddy. Actually, I've noticed the speed delay is because of the X-Reality enhancement. It's hard to turn it off and ignore because the X-Reality engine results are very good. That said, I've tried the DSLR pics on a Galaxy Tab S2, an LG G6 and there weren't any delays.

I also tried the pics on a Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact and the same 2-3 second delays were there with X-Reality turned on for both Xperia Gallery and QuickPic. The same issue is still there when I reduced the weight of the files using TinyJPG. Guess X-reality costs time.
