Sony Xperia Tablet Z Teardown
the Sony Xperia Tablet Z is currently the thinnest tablet yet at only 6.9mm and it weighs just 495grams. That’s actually thinner than the 7.9mm Xperia Z. To find out how its top notching hardware gets packed in such a slim profile, Sony has released its official tear down of the Xperia Tablet Z. Of course, dissecting the tablet would automatically void its warranty, so don’t try this at home (if you have one, that is, which is highly unlikely for people living in India)!
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z was announced
back in January, and has gone on sale in Japan today, it will also
launch in the US and Europe shortly followed by Asia, the device comes
with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and it features a 10.1 inch full HD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Other specifications on the Sony Xperia Tablet Z include a quad core Qualcomm APQ8064 processor
clocked at 1.5GHz, plus 2GB of RAM and 32GB of built in storage, and
there is also a rear facing 8.1 megapixel camera with Sony’s Exmor R
sensor.
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z teardown
begins with cracking the device open. Sounds easy? Well, think again.
Since the tablet is resistant to dust and water damage, it comes as no
surprise that taking its back cover off isn’t a job for everyone. Once
that’s unglued, the delicate part dismantling process begins, starting
with the Sony-made lithium-ion battery weighing 130 grams and then
moving on to the smaller components. There’s plenty of glue and tape
holding the Xperia Tablet Z together, which leads us to believe that its
repairability score might not be very high.
