Today, with the rise of phablet formatSurely many users have doubts as to whether it is better to operate with a tablet and a smartphone or to combine both functions in the same device. The Sony Xperia Z Ultra and the new Nexus 7 from Google are two devices that will allow us to bet on one or the other with total solvency. We present this graphical comparison with the two teams face to face to be able to appreciate the size of both in relation.
It is not usual to compare a smartphone with a tablet, but given the increasingly diverse sizes that are proliferating within mobile devices, we find that on many occasions the differences between a phablet and a tablet of 7 inches They are smaller than what we can find in two compact tablets, such as the iPad mini and the Nexus 7. Taking advantage of the photographs that he has recently published Android Authority, we are going to make a comparison of the two teams.
Designer
The appearance of the two devices is quite rectangular and elongated, a more pronounced feature in the case of the Xperia Z Ultra with its 16: 9 aspect ratio. Sony and Asus have implemented designs with the narrow side frame and the slightly more spacious top and bottom to facilitate the fastening with one hand in portrait mode and with two when playing a game.
Otherwise, the size of the tablet and the phablet are very similar. The 7 Nexus 2013 measures 20cm x 11,4cm x 7,6mm thick, while the Xperia Z Ultra Measures 18cm x 9,2cm x 7,6mm. Google's tablet is also a bit more heavy than Sony's device, but slightly: 290 grams versus 212 grams.
Screen
In terms of screen resolution, both teams are very even, offering two panels Full HD, with a few more pixels in the case of the new Nexus 7 for being a somewhat wider device. The Google tablet has 1920 x 1200 points which in its 7 inches gives rise to a density of 323 dpi. For its part, the Google terminal has 1920 × 1080 points at 6,44 inches, resulting in a density of 344 dpi.
The density is a little higher in the Xperia Z Ultra, but the Nexus 7 screen is somewhat larger, so one thing makes up for the other. Each one in its range, they are leading devices in terms of resolution. The new Nexus 7 is the primera compact tablet with a Full HD screen, while in the realm of phablets, the higher end devices usually reach 1080p, but so far none surpasses it.
Unlimited
If we look only at the processor, it is clear that the Xperia Z Ultra It is a more advanced equipment, with a chip Snapdragon 800 quad-core (probably 2,3 GHz). The New Nexus is not bad either, but its CPU is an inferior version from the same manufacturer, a Snapdragon S4 Pro vitaminized at 1,5 GHz. In the field of RAM both teams get a draw with 2GB for each one.
In the benchmarks that we have received so far from the two devices, the Sony phablet has been superior, as it is logical, performing above the 33.000 points en AnTuTu, while the Google tablet stays close to the 20.000 points in those same tests.
Autonomy
The new Nexus 7 has improved its autonomy despite having a lower capacity battery than the previous generation, 3.950 mAh by 4.325 mAh of the original model. This is mainly due to the fact that both Android 4.3 such as Snapdragon S4 Pro they better manage the consumption of last year's components. The tablet offers us 9 hours of use playing video in HD and 10 browsing via WiFi.
The battery of the Xperia Z Ultra it is considerably lower, at 3.000 mAh. The good thing about the terminal, like that of all the devices of this Sony line, is that it has the technology bunting It provides a duration of up to 500 hours in sleep mode.
Price and conclusions
In this section we are going to find significant differences. The 7 Nexus 2013 costs 229 Euros, while the Xperia Z Ultra will cost no less than 650 Euros exit, although it is very likely that we will see its price lowered after a few weeks. Here a key question arises, taking into account that we can get hold of the tablet and the smartphone of the g (both 16 GB) would cost us about 580 euros, is this alternative better to have two autonomous computers or go for a phablet that combines its characteristics? Obviously, it is something that will depend on the consumer, there will be some who seek disassociate uses and others who prefer the convergence in order to collect and be forced to handle fewer "junk".
And you, what option do you have?
