Sony has been relatively uninterested in the tablet space, at least
judging from its small selection of slates on offer. With the exception
of the Xperia Z2 Tablet and the Vaio Tap 11,
Sony has been pretty
conservative with its efforts in the space, and
has been pretty much exclusively focused on large tablets (10 inches and
higher). As it turns out, however, Sony may be working on not just
another tablet, but one that is also more "compact" than its current
line.
The folks behind Techtastic have
unearthed a small detail that suggests that a previously-unheard of
Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is in the works. The clue is found in the user
guide for the Sony BSC10 -- a Bluetooth speaker with a charging dock --
where Sony has listed compatible devices, among which, we confirmed, the
Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact.
Obviously, at this point in time, specifics about this new slate
are non-existent, though we imagine that Sony will go for a screen size
no larger than 8 inches. If the only other reference point for Sony's
Compact line -- the Xperia Z1 Compact smartphone -- is any indication,
then we'd also guesstimate that the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact will be a
high-end device, but likely a bit less-packed with hardware when
compared to, say, a new 10.1-inch Xperia Z3 Tablet.
More as we get it.
