The tablet is being touted as the Xperia Tablet Z2, and is said to have a 10.1-inch Triluminos display with a resolution of 1900x1200 pixels. The tablet is also said to be waterproof. The tweet also states that Xperia Tablet Z2 will sport 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, will have 3GB of RAM, and 16GB of inbuilt storage with a microSD card slot for further expansion. The main camera is said to be an 8-megapixel unit, with the front camera being a 2-megapixel one.
The leak also further states that the tablet will be thin at 6.4mm, which, if true, would make it slimmer than the original Xperia Tablet Z, which was 6.9mm thick. The battery is stated to be a 6000mAh and the device is said to run Google latest mobile operating system, Android 4.4 KitKat.
