3. Sony Xperia Tablet Z
The Sony Xperia Z is a super-light device with a super slim chassis, impressive screen. It is 10-inch, pitting itself against the likes of the Google Nexus 10 and iPad 4. Frankly, its 1,920 x 1,200 resolution screen falls a little short of ‘retina’ sharpness of the iPad 4’s 2,048 x 1,536 or the Nexus 10’s stupendously sharp 2,560 x 1,600 screen. However, it prides itself in obtaining the great feature of water resistant up to one meter for 30 minutes and dust resistant.
