Impressive battery life with Battery STAMINA Mode:
Alongside waterproofing, battery life is consistently highlighted
as one of the top areas where consumers want innovation.

products, houses a state of the art high-density battery, offering
4,500 mAh of power.
What does a 4,500mAh battery

It works by turning off background functions when you’re not using them to help extend your battery life,

High-Resolution Audio - the way music’s meant to be heard:
As with all of the Z3 series, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact builds upon Sony’s heritage in acoustic
engineering, bring High-Resolution Audio to an Xperia tablet for the first time. High-Res Audio uses
twice the resolution (96 kHz) of normal (44kHz) audio when recording the sound, and in doing so creates
a much more faithful reproduction of the original audio. Capturing hard-to-hear but incredibly important
harmonics that can be missed by normal recordings gives High-Resolution songs a noticeably improved
sound that is almost impossible to tell apart from true analogue. Check out the graphs below that
illustrate the greater frequency with which original analogue soundwaves are sampled to prepare HighResolution Audio, as compared to CDs.
Tip 1: Try listening to a song using DSEE HX turned on with High-Resolution Audio headphones
and then compare it to the same song on another device, or with DSEE HX turned off to hear the
difference. You can minimise ambient noise even more by pairing your Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact
with our latest MDR-NC31EM digital noise-cancelling headset.
The best of Sony in screen technology for our brightest display yet
Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact delivers Sony’s BRAVIA
TV expertise, to bring the brightest and most trueto-life colours available in a compact tablet.
Combined with Sony’s TRILUMINOS™ Display for
mobile technology with Live Colour LED, XReality™ for mobile and intuitive contrast
enhancement, this 8” Full HD display is sharp and
vivid, no mater the angle you view it and even in
bright sunlight.
It pairs these technologies with a new approach to power saving by giving the screen its own dedicated
memory. The memory caches screen information of static images, reducing the need to constantly
refresh the display. In doing so it saves on battery life, allowing Sony’s brightest screen yet to also be its
most efficient.
Tip 2: See the benefits of Z3 Tablet Compacts display and IPS technology by tilting your Xperia Z3
Tablet Compact and seeing how bright and vivid the colours are, no matter which angle or light
you look at it from. Compare this with a competitors tablet and note the difference.
