True to its name, the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is small, light, durable and powerful. Hardly a surprise to anyone who’s been watching Sony lately. Two generations of mini superphones saw the Z...

            AnonD-325153, 12 Nov 2014Awesome, thanks for the reply. Would you mind commenting on... moreThe batterylife is allot better than the z ultra. With heavy usage (streaming series and movies without stamina mode on lasted 10hrs and a half with me. I mean continuously watching no time out.
            I get around 2days of pretty heavy usage(synching 3 email accounts, around 1,5 hour calling, playing 4-6 games of fifa 15, streaming 2-3x 40min of episodes,around a hour internet browsing, 0,5 hour youtube, using bluetooth and wifi almost the whole day and streaming music with Bluetooth around 1,5 hour). I have to say im using stamina mode and the prolonged use. Also im using advanced task killer almost every time i turn off the screen.

                Awesome, thanks for the reply. Would you mind commenting on battery life as a Z Ultra replacement? Meaning, as a main phone, does it at least last for 10-12 hours on medium usage? My Z Ultra barely lasts for 10 hours if I don't have stamina mode on. Thanks a bunch! (Now I just have to find an international version....damn Sony USA).

                            Sony complained about loss of income, I complained about their delay in releasing this beautiful tab.

                              so they took out the "no voice call function" under cons. Does that mean it can actually function as a phone if it's paired with a BT headset or a headset is plugged into it?

                                  I think it is useful to have full voice communications on these tablets. They are a worthwhile addition and makes a better business tool. Just use a decent headset when working the device. It is not all about games and internet.

                                        ??? Tablets are only for using indoors? No, thats desktops. I need a waterproof, dustproof device for looking at data and drawings at work, and something to make laying on a beach more interesting.
                                        Only Ipad users think they look cool taking photos with tablets. Hey excuse me why I just hold this Ipad in front of you, you wasn't watching the concert was you?
                                        Not saying it's useful, but I would buy one without a camera for less, or with a better something else.
                                        Sony are definitely creeping up on Samsung in the mobile tech market.
