However, the Remote Control app is pretty basic, and only allows you to change channels and volume.Ĭlick to EnlargePowered by a 1.5-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 Cortex-A9 quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, the Tablet Z scored fairly well on our tests. Setting up the Remote Control app was straightforward - the app walked us through configuring controls for our TV, cable box, and AV receiver. On the top edge of the Tablet Z is an infrared transmitter that lets you use the tablet as a remote control for your home entertainment system. Next to the Small Apps icon is an icon for the Remote Control app. We also like that Samsung's slate lets you run full-fledged apps side by side. Though they're not as clean as Samsung's TouchWiz software, we prefer the way the Galaxy Tab 10.1 lets you quickly toggle multiple settings via its notification drawer. There are 36 more Small Apps in Google Play, and you can also convert Widgets into Small Apps. Preinstalled are the Browser, Calculator, Clip Manager, Notes, Recorder, Remote Control and Timer apps. Small Apps can be accessed via an icon in the bottom center of the display.

In the middle are a series of circles that let you know at a glance what home screen you're on, and on the right is a Plus icon to customize the screens, and a link to the Apps menu.Ĭlick to EnlargeSimilar to Samsung tablets and smartphones, the Sony Tablet Z has so-called Small Apps, which can float anywhere on the display above other apps. At the top of the screen, in the left-hand corner, is a quick link to Google Now, and a microphone icon.

MORE: 10 Tablets with the Longest Battery LifeĬlick to EnlargeThe Tablet Z runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, with a few of Sony's own tweaks. We prefer the speaker placement on the Nexus 10 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 - on both sides of the display, pointing at the user. Located toward the lower corner of each side, they were easily muffled when the tablet was held. The placement of the speakers is also problematic. Regardless of what we played - from Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" to Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" -the sound was tinny, as if we were listening to someone's radio on the beach from a blanket over.
The stereo speakers on either side of the Tablet Z produced average audio, at best.

Sony boasts that the Tablet Z's Clear Audio+ technology enhances any audio played through the device, but there's only so much that software can do. The iPad came in slightly lower, at 346 lux. For example, the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 measured 433 lux, and the Google Nexus 10 was 376 lux.
With an average brightness of 354 lux, the Tablet Z's screen is slightly dimmer than the tablet average of 371 lux, as well as the screens on most other Android tablets in its price range. When watching the "Man of Steel" trailer, we found the reds in explosions were much more vibrant on the Tablet Z than on the Nexus 10, and blacks appeared deeper and truer.
Using Sony's Bravia Engine 2, the OptiContrast panel delivered high-quality visuals. The program supports all the latest hardware, and the answers you need are usually just a click away.Click to EnlargePixel-wise, the 10.1-inch, 1920 x 1200p display on the Tablet Z is on par with that of the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700, but it falls below those on the Nexus 10 (2560 x 1600), and the iPad (2048 x 1536). This is probably available in the BIOS, or maybe the Control Panel Display Settings applet, but once again it's much simpler to use CPU-Z. They'll provide the RAM type, speed, memory timings, manufacturer, even the part number, everything you need to know.Īnd if you're planning to overclock your CPU or graphics card then you should start by noting your current core speeds, multiplier, bus speed and more. You could open the case to have a look, but it's easier to run CPU-Z, and check the Memory and SPD tabs. If you want to add more memory, say, then it's probably a good idea to match the speed and type of RAM you have already. Just click the appropriate tab and it'll display the CPU type and speed, motherboard, RAM amount and speed, graphics card model, and more.Įach section provides many extra details that are particularly useful when you're upgrading. If you've just bought a new system, for instance, then CPU-Z can help you check that you've got exactly what you're expecting.
