Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet vs iPad Air: power or innovation?
When it comes to tablets, most consumers expect to find
higher performance in these devices than in smartphones. The web experience is
the most important factor to consider when choosing a tablet. The best tab is
required when businesses and personal experiences are based on social
networking, fast data sharing and quality.
Sony’s Xperia Z2 has brought to the market a thinner and
lighter tab and a better processor and RAM then Apple’s iPad Air. Also, Sony’s
tab is waterproof and dust resistant and it has a better camera. On the other
hand, iPad Air has a richer design, more built in storage, a 64-bit chip and a
better display. So what should you choose?
Apple devices can seem unbeatable sometimes, but is that really
so? Taking into consideration every consumer’s needs, Sony Xperia Z2 tablet for
example, can turn out to be a better device. Let’s see!
Even though Xperia Z2
Tablet has a 10.1 inch display, it is thinner and lighter (429 g/6.4 mm)than
the iPad Air, with a 9.7 inch display (469 g/7.5 mm). Apple’s tablet has a
resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels (264 ppi, while Sony’s tablet only has a
resolution of 1920 by 1200 pixels (224 ppi). Of course, you would say that this
means a better clarity and image, but the reality is that the human eye cannot
really see the difference in most of the videos and interfaces. Resolution is
not everything that matters when it comes to tablets. In order to be satisfied
with a device, performance is the most important factor to be taken in
consideration.
Therefore, the iPad Air wears an exclusive A7 chip, 64 bit
architecture, dual core at 1400 MHz, and Xperia Z2 has a quad core Qualcomm
Snapdragon 801 processor running at 2,300 MHz. RAM memory also makes a
difference in the Z2 which has 3GB of RAM compared to the poor RAM of the iPad
Air of 1 GB. Everyone knows that RAM or Random Access Memory acts as a high
speed middleman, providing enough data from the hard disk for the
microprocessor to use at any time. It provides room for extra apps to run and
it is very important because of the ability it give you to multitask
efficiently.
So, in theory, the Xperia
device should be excellent speaking of performance. Seemingly, the Sony tablet
has an excellent performance in practice, too. Several tests have been taken
and by comparison to the Apple tab, Xperia proves to be better at almost
everything, except for the Javascript test.
The storage memory is another thing to be discussed. It
might be tricky when we think of the storage memory because the Xperia Z2
tablet only comes with a memory up to 32 GB, while the iPad Air comes with up
to 128 GB. But, Sony’s tab allows you to add up another 64 GB of storage
through a Micro SD slot. So, unless you need to store an enormous amount of
data, you will not actually need that much storage space.
Regarding the tablet’s camera, the Z2 has an 8.1 MP camera
and a front camera of 2.2, while the iPad Air has a rear camera of 5 MP and a
front one of 1.2 MP. Both devices
though, have the ability to capture 1080p HD videos.
Software is a sensitive point in every discussion. The
amazing iOS 7 is run by the Apple devices, which finds itself in a continuous
battle with Android. Xperia Z2 Tab runs Android 4.4 KitKat. As for the battery
life, Sony proudly presents the Xperia Z2’s battery of 600 mAh that is supposed
to last more than 50 days on standby. iPad Air has an 8820 mAh battery and it
is supposed to last up to 10 hours while web browsing, listening to music or
watching videos. Pretty amazing!
These being said, it is confirmed once more that Apple can
be beaten in theory, but its tablet still remains the most loved and
appreciated. Apple devices are upgrading all the time, which keeps consumers
engaged, but we can always expect to see surprises from the competition, too.
