For those who are looking for one of the best tablets of the moment and plan to spend a large sum of money to get it (around 500 euros), two of the clearest options are the iPad-Retina and Tablet Xperia Z. Today we are going to approach these two devices through a video-comparison of Pocket Now to see what each of them offers and in which points it is superior to each other.
Model iPad that has been used for the test is that of third generationHowever, only those points where it coincides with the fourth are evaluated to try to level the comparison.
In terms of design already we recently analyzed the most relevant aspects of both devices. To summarize we will say that Tablet Xperia Z is thinner and lighter, but that the iPad it offers a more solid construction and a greater “premium” look. Tablet Sony is comfortable to hold with one hand and adapts to almost any position, while the tablet from Apple it will condition our body posture to a greater extent.
The finish of the iPad is simpler and only has the necessary and fair external components, while the Xperia Z surrounds himself with eyelashes. Of course, the slots offer two interesting things, on the one hand the ability to expand the base memory of the device and, on the other, they allow a total resistance water and dust.
Another important section is the aspect ratio. The iPad uses a 4: 3 format, while that of the Tablet Z is 16: 9. This makes using the Sony device in portrait mode a bad experience, while the Sony tablet Apple With its folio size it is perfect for both horizontal and vertical orientations.
In principle, the iPad It has a higher pixel density, but the difference is not something that can be seen with the naked eye since both screens are perfect and are capable of emitting a large amount of brightness at their maximum settings. The target of the Xperia it is warmer and the one of the iPad colder. This will depend on the tastes of each one.
Although the speaker placement is better in the Tablet Xperia Z and projects a more dynamic sound and maybe more rich in nuances, the iPad offers Greater volume, that's why they declare you a seller in this section.
In terms of ecosystem, the iPad has more optimized apps and that is a clear advantage. Most Android apps are designed for phones and, as we discussed earlier, the portrait mode on the Xperia Z does not offer a good experience.
Finally, when it comes to autonomy, the Apple tablet is far superior to its rival. Lightness takes its toll on Tablet Z in this section and its battery it has almost half the capacity of the iPad. In addition, the processors of the last two generations of the iPad, despite the retina screen, have managed to manage the best before date optimally. The good thing about the Sony tablet is that it allows multiple customizations to reserve more or less energy in our use and in this way we can extend its life between charges.
