Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact review light in the hand heavy on the wallet

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact review light in the hand heavy on the wallet



Sonys consumer electronics division is in an ongoing state of flux. Having already given up on PCs and e-readers, the company recently pledged to make fewer TVs and smartphones in a bid to get its books back in the black. How Sonys strategizing will affect its output of tablets remains unclear, but no doubt a keen eye is being kept on the reception of its latest slate, the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact (dont let that mouthful of a moniker fool you -- Sony only classes the 8-inch tablet as "compact" to differentiate it from its two previous 10.1-inch devices). The company is renowned for the quality of its premium products, and like the two smartphones that make up the rest of the Z3 family, its newest tablet is a testament to that legacy. Cutting to the chase, its an elegant and powerful device, but with prices starting at 
$445 = INR 27652.2/£300=INR 41936.59
those credentials might not be enough to make you choose Sony over the competition.

Sony Xperia Z3 Range Of Devices Now Included In CyanogenMod CM12 Nightly List

Sony Xperia Z3 Range Of Devices Now Included In CyanogenMod CM12 Nightly List


Sony Xperia Z3 Range Of Devices Now Included In CyanogenMod CM12 Nightly List


  • Back at the start of January, the CyanogenMod team made an announcement all CyanogenMod users were waiting for. They were releasing the first batch of their Android 5.0 Lollipop variant (CM12) downloads. Now, the less good news was that these were only in nightly form. Which meant they were somewhat unstable and may include bugs, performance issues and the like. That said, this was only slightly less good news. A lot of CyanogenMod users will tell you that they prefer being on nightlies, as they get their updates much quicker (typically nightly, hence the name). Either way though, whether you prefer stable or nightly, official CM12 had arrived.


  • That said, it had not arrived for everyone. At launch, there were about 31 devices which had been included on the CM12 list. However, since then that list has started to grow extensively and we are seeing new devices being added almost daily. If you are a Sony Xperia user, then you might remember a couple of days ago CM12 was made available for a number of Xperia devices including the Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet (LTE and WiFi versions), Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z Ultra GPe, Xperia T and the Xperia V.

  • You may have noticed the most recent of the Xperia range were missing from that list. This was due to only the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact (Wi-Fi) version making the CM12 grade. Well, if you own a Z3 device and were feeling left out then don’t worry. It now seems that the Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact and the LTE Xperia Z3 Tablet have all now been added to the list. As such their respective CM12 nightly ROMs are now ready to download and install. If you are going to give your Z3 device the CyanogenMod Lollipop treatment, then click the source link below to head over to the download page. Once there, you will just need to look down the main column for the codename of your device. If you are running the Xperia Z3 then look for “z3”. If running the Xperia Z3 Compact then look for “z3c”. Lastly, if you are running the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact then look for “scorpion”.
