But in the room of the display good viewing angles, brightness is sufficient, juiciness and contrast of the picture at a decent level. Sitting in a room with normal lighting, watch a movie on such a display – the buzz. The only thing that angled slightly white color turns pink, from a different angle slightly yellow – that he was so unpredictable.

Huge at first glance frame actually perfect size if you tablet still will use and not bought to it beautifully in the docking station stood. Such a big plate hardly sold for mobility rather for practicality. Therefore, a framework needs to have to put your hands. With such a wide tablet manage comfortably in either a horizontal or vertical orientation.

If two aspects – the convenience and attitude of others – you do not soar, feel free to take pictures of everything.

Sound – Sony Xperia Tablet Z2

Speakers are placed profitable. They are small, from the first time I have not found, it seems that the sound is coming from somewhere inside. In fact it is two short stereo speakers, which are located below the display.

But if you listen to music from your tablet, the tablet otpahat here so long that you can on the airplane to fly around the Earth at the equator, and he will not sit down.

I liked the Sony Xperia Tablet Z2. Could be lazy and do not carry it every day in the office and from the office ultrabook behind. A tablet is so light, so beautiful. Pulled it out a few times out of a backpack in public transport and caught the first surprised and then concerned looks. Sony Xperia Tablet Z2 – stylish tablet, not argue with that. Beautiful, easy, practical. There is even the sim card can be set to get combos, in which one tablet vs. smartphone-tablet-ultrabook. And if common sense still tells you that he is too big for the dialer, I will prompt that the set includes a headset. And Sony has in store many different good headphones.

Actually, smutitelnyh moments in the office, I found a few. The first – Mark coating the rear surface. To cope with it can only use the spray, cloth and inhuman patience. Second – assembly. This is generally a weak point of the company. Not the first device in a row. It’s frustrating. Third – the display. It is largely good, but strange resolution and high-gloss finish. In the light, the tablet works great mirror. Images and text readable, but would like a little more vivid images. And the last – autonomy. Can not say that it is bad, no, just the perfect something wanted. To and protection, and the subtlety and lightness, and the charge held indefinitely.
