We continue to measure the new Pixel C with the best high-end tablets that we have in stores at the moment, since that is the field in which it will enter directly to compete, both for Technical specifications as for price, and after having faced the iPad Air 2 and the Galaxy Tab S2, it is the turn of the star tablet of Sony: the X. She comparative quite interesting, in addition, because also in the case of the Japanese we find a device that, without reaching the characteristics of professional tablets and Windows hybrids, has been presented as one of the best options Android for those who want to use it to work and study, putting a lot of emphasis on its original promotion also on the official keyboard. Which of the two convinces you the most?
Integrated
As we have just mentioned, although in neither case is it an accessory included, in the design of the two tablets the keyboard seems to have been a fundamental part, and the truth is that its aesthetics are also relatively similar, with angular lines, regular frames and no physical home button. Metal lovers, in any case, will find a plus in the Pixel C, whose casing is made of aluminum.
Dimensions
They are also two teams that are very similar in size, although it is possible to appreciate that their formats do not fully coincide, the X (24,2x17,9 inch against 25,4 x16,7 cm). The tablet of Sony it is also somewhat finer7 mm against 6,1 mm) but above all lighter (517 grams against 389 grams).
Screen
The difference in format that we appreciated in the previous section is mainly due to the fact that the aspect ratio of the Pixel C It is not the 16:10 of the X, but another something more square. They also do not match completely in size although they are very close (10.2 inches against 10.1 inches), and the same happens with the resolution (2560 x 1800 against 2560 x 1600) and with pixel density (PPI 308 against PPI 299).
Performance
The normal thing is that the stock Android that the devices of Google They give them a plus of fluidity, but the truth is that due to technical specifications these two tablets are very close, with very similar power processors (Snapdragon 810 eight core to 2 GHz against Tegra X1 quad core to 1,9 GHz) and with the same amount of RAM (3 GB). The Pixel C It has a clear advantage, of course, in terms of updates, starting with the fact that it already arrives with Android Marshmallow.
Storage capacity
In the section of storage capacity, the distribution of points is imposed: on the one hand, the X has the advantage of adding to its 32 GB of internal memory the possibility of expanding them externally through card micro-SD; on the other hand, the Pixel C does not give us this option but we can get it with up to 64 GB hard disk.
Cameras
Although, as always, we want to insist that we do not have to know more importance than necessary to the cameras on a tablet, if it is true that the X has an advantage in the front camera (2 MP against 5 MP), although not in the main (8 MP in both cases), a piece of information that may be interesting if for some reason we are really going to make frequent use of it.
Autonomy
Autonomy is always an important point when choosing a mobile device and, normally, although at the beginning there is usually no independent test data (which is always the most interesting), at least we can compare the battery capacity. Unfortunately, this is not the case with Pixel C, Ya que Google He hasn't made them public yet.
Price
Even though the Xperia Z4 Tablet lIt has been on sale for a long time and in some distributors it can be found with a slightly lower price than the official one, so that we can buy it for between 550 euros (or even something less) and 600 euros, Pixel C still has an advantage, since it is sold on Google Play for $499.
Hello, out of curiosity, where is the cheapest z4 of 550, I can not find it anywhere. Thanks
nobody?
