With the launch of Marshmallow in the Android world, Google also introduced the new Pixel C, a new premium tablet developed by Google as a shining example of Android tablets. With a perfect partner keyboard, Pixel C has been boosted in productivity, making it one of the best tablets we've seen in 2015: the Sony XPERIA Z4 Tablet. The latter tablet from Sony comes with a keyboard that makes it clear that both Android devices want to keep you creative on the go. But which is the best tablet for you? We lived with them and put them together for review.
Google Pixel C vs. Sony XPERIA Z4 Tablet – Design:
The Google Pixel C has an anodized aluminum case and measures 242 x 179 x 7 mm. The Sony XPERIA Z4 tablet measures 254 x 167 x 6.1 mm and is equipped with an aluminum frame and a plastic housing. The Sony is narrower and smaller than the Pixel C due to the different display sizes, but the Google tablet is not that wide and offers a more first-class design, even if it's not waterproof like the Sony.
However, the XPERIA Z4 is much lighter than the Pixel C and reaches the scale at 389 g compared to the 517 g Pixel C. There are also black and white color options that users can choose from, while Pixel C is available in silver only. Sony relies on the standard Micro USB when loading the XPERIA Z4 Tablet. On the other hand, Google has gone through the USB Type C route, which allows for faster recharge and faster data transfer, as well as charging in the reverse direction, so you can charge your phone.
Google Pixel C vs Sony XPERIA Z4 Tablet – Display:
The Google Pixel C has a 10.2-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1800 pixels with a pixel density of 308 ppi. In comparison, the Sony XPERIA Z4 tablet has a slightly smaller 10.1-inch display, but a slightly lower resolution at 2560 x 1600 pixels, to offer a pixel density of a slightly softer 298ppi. In reality, the difference in ppi is not visible. Both have excellent displays, both are full of details and give the colors power and vibrancy. The big difference is that Sony spends less space watching landscape films, but the Pixel C offers more vertical height when working, and also offers a better aspect for vertical use. Of the two we would select the pixel C.
Google Pixel C vs Sony XPERIA Z4 Tablet – Cameras:
The Google Pixel C has an 8 megapixel rear view camera and a 2 megapixel front camera. The Sony XPERIA Z4 tablet also has an 8-megapixel camera, but increases the front-facing snapper to 5 megapixels. It's not just about megapixels when it comes to how well a camera works, because the computing power has a lot to do with it, but the additional resolution helps, especially when it comes to the front. We're not big fans of pictures with a tablet, so the features of the reversing camera are less annoying than the front that we often use for video calling. We were not particularly impressed with the Pixel C cameras, they are more adequate than exciting, and that's not too different from the Sony XPERIA Z4 tablet.
Google Pixel C vs Sony XPERIA Z4 Tablet – Hardware:
The Google Pixel C is a powerful tablet with the NVidia Tegra X1 processor, Maxwell graphics and 3 GB of RAM. The Sony XPERIA Z4 Tablet is a good performer in terms of performance. It features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and Adreno graphics card, which also supports 3GB of RAM. In terms of storage capacity, the Pixel C offers 32 GB and 64 GB of internal storage options, but the Micro SD extension is not supported. The XPERIA Z4 Tablet, on the other hand, offers only 32 GB of storage space, but has Micro SD support for memory upgrades of up to 128 GB, which can be used as conventional storage after upgrading to Marshmallow.
The Pixel C has a Google claimed battery capacity for up to 10 hours of video playback. The Sony has a capacity of 6000 mAh, which is supposed to provide 17 hours of video playback, which is significantly more than the Pixel C. Sony is known to offer a decent battery life, although this was to be expected.
Google Pixel C vs Sony XPERIA Z4 Tablet – Software:
Pixel C is a pure Android tablet powered by Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, the latest version Google has to offer. For comparison: The Sony XPERIA Z4 Tablet comes with Android Lollipop and is waiting for an update. The big difference, however, is the additions made by Sony. Sony adjusts many aspects of the software experience, adds many additional apps and switches to its own services, in some cases copying what you receive by default from Google. On the other hand, Sony enhances the media experience by offering more connectivity and fun options like PS4 Remote Play for a small console game on your tablet.
