delivers the highest

8" Full HD display
[http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/tablets/xperia-z3-tablet-compact/specifications/?utm_source=sactive&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=xperiaz3tabletcompact ]
, as
well as the latest audio technology. It's also the only tablet with PS4(TM) Remote
Play[2], making serious mobile gaming a reality.

    "Following on from the success of our award-winning Xperia Z2 Tablet, we're continuing
to expand our tablet portfolio with the launch of the no-compromise compact tablet. Xperia
Z3 Tablet Compact pushes the boundaries of technology innovation by bringing our flagship
Z3 series features in a compact size, continuing our new standard of offering premium
experiences in a choice of form factor for consumers," says Calum MacDougall, Director of
Product Marketing Programme at Sony Mobile Communications.

    Impossibly slim, astonishingly light and exquisitely crafted - Xperia Z3 Tablet
Compact is a design sensation. At just 6.4mm slim, its compact design is perfect for those
on the go, while advanced Sony technology ensures you don't have to compromise on power.
Weighing just 270g, the ultra-portable tablet feels weightless in your hand.

    Created using the highest quality materials, its clean lines and uniquely designed
power button capture Sony's exquisite attention to detail. Stainless steel corners, an
ultra slim rounded frame and a tempered glass front give an elegant and durable finish.
Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is available in either white or black to ensure a classic finish.

    Sony's passion for perfection takes the design of this compact tablet even further -
adding market-leading waterproofing to beauty. The IP65/68 rating means you won't ever
have to worry about water or dust getting in the way of performance. Take your tablet
poolside, find your way in the rain, and keep scrolling through your recipe next to the
kitchen sink. Wet conditions are no problem, and other compact tablets are officially
blown out of the water.

    Unrivalled entertainment with the world's only tablet with PS4(TM) Remote Play[2]

    Sony has engineered a revolution in gaming technology with the addition of PS4(TM)
Remote Play on the Xperia Z3 series. With PS4 Remote Play, exclusive to Xperia, you can
now use your Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact as a remote screen to connect to and control your
games on PS4. For those times when the TV is being used, simply connect your tablet to
your PS4 via home Wi-Fi and use the DUALSHOCK(R)4 Wireless Controller with the GCM10 Game
Control Mount
[http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/game-control-mount-gcm10/?utm_source=sactive&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=gamecontrolmountgcm10 ]
to continue
playing games anywhere at home on your Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact.

    Additionally the PlayStation(R)App lets you use your Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact as a
second screen to remotely watch the game play of your game friends, communicate with
PSN(TM) friends, purchase PS4 games and download to PS4, or simply to control your PS4.

    Whether you're playing a game or watching a movie, your entertainment is enhanced with
Sony's latest TV and audio technologies. Boasting Sony's brightest tablet display yet,
this compact tablet has a visual brilliance beyond its size. Combined with Sony's
TRILUMINOS(TM) Display for mobile technology with Live Colour LED, X-Reality(TM) for
mobile and intuitive contrast enhancement, this 8" Full HD display is sharp and vivid even
in bright sunlight.

    Tune in with an audio powerhouse

    The mobile music experience just got re-invented. Sony's rich audio expertise comes
through in every beat with incredible High-Resolution Audio, so you can hear every track
just as the artist intended when using Hi-Res headphones such as Sony's new MDR-1A range
[http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/hd-audio/t/headphones ]. For those tracks that aren't
in hi-res quality, Sony's ground-breaking DSEE HX technology - available now for the first
time in our Z3 series - 'upscales' the fidelity of your MP3 or AAC music collection as
well as your playlists on Sony's cloud-based digital music service, Music Unlimited[5], to
near High-Resolution Audio quality.

    To enjoy your favourite music without interruption, the Xperia Z3 series brings Sony's
Digital Noise Cancelling technology to the tablet. Ambient noise is reduced by up to 98%
when paired with the MDR-NC31EM Digital Noise Cancelling headset
[http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/digital-noise-cancelling-headset-mdr-nc31em/?utm_source=sactive&utm_medium=pressrelease&utm_campaign=digitalnoisecancellingheadsetmdrnc31em ]
- perfect for that busy commute or tuning out the background in a noisy
office.

    Best-in-class speed and stamina

    Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact brings you all the best in Sony entertainment, backed up by
the latest advancements in performance and speed. Featuring the world's fastest processor
in a compact tablet[3], thanks to the Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 801 Quad-core 2.5 GHz
processor[6] with 3GB RAM, ensuring entertainment comes at a breakneck pace. Every
interaction is fluid, browsing is lightning-quick and multi-tasking is effortless. The
asynchronous processor makes sure each core is powered independently which means you get
the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don't.

    As the world's only tablet with PS4(TM) Remote Play[2], Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is
kitted out with the speed-enhanced, fully integrated Qualcomm(R) Adreno(TM) 330 GPU,
delivering up to 25% performance improvement over its previous generation for the ultimate
graphic performance that is incredibly fast and realistic, ensuring you're more absorbed
than ever in your game.

    This compact beauty has been engineered to keep going even when you're on the go with
13 hours of high quality video playback. Get even more from your battery with Sony's
Battery STAMINA Mode, which turns off background functions when you're not using them to
help extend your battery life, so your game won't quit before you're ready and your movie
marathon can run the distance.

    Enjoy Sony camera expertise

    Capture all your special moments with an 8.1MP camera and innovative new Xperia camera
apps. With Exmor RS(TM) for mobile you can capture stunning images even in low light
conditions and the 2.2MP front-facing HD chat camera is ideal for video calls with family
and friends. The integrated social camera apps offer a unique user experience perfect for
social sharing and the latest of these will take your camera experience to the next level.
Record from multiple angles at the same time with Multi-camera. Create a movie
automatically from your photos and videos with Movie creator. Broadcast your videos live
via Live on YouTube by Xperia. Add scribbles and animations to pictures with AR fun. Or
