UK Release Of Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet Starts May 27

Sony unveiled a high-end Android tablet on March 2 with the announcement of the Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet with stuff like 2560 x 1600 resolution, Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, 5.1/8MP cameras, and 17 hour battery life.

The tablet was far from ready to launch at the time. But now we’ve got a definitive date for the UK release at least, which Sony says is May 27. In the US, it might be launched in June some time, but as we have seen the last few years, the US tends to be one of the last places where Sony’s tablets turn up.

The entry price in the UK is $499, so it’s not cheap, but then this is a very solid waterproof 10.1-inch Android 5.0 tablet. It’s also extremely light, at 389 grams, which makes it the lightest 10.1-inch tablet of 2015 with good margin.
