Tethering with Xperia Link™

If you have an Xperia™ mobile phone, you can share the phone’s mobile data connection with your Xperia™ tablet. This way, your tablet can connect to the Internet without having to use its own SIM card and data connection. This feature is useful when you are out and about and don’t have a mobile or Wi-Fi® connection on your tablet. Before you use tethering with Xperia Link™, make sure the Xperia Link™ application is installed and set up on both devices. Also, your Xperia™ phone must have a camera with auto focus.

The Xperia Link™ application is only supported by Xperia™ phones running the Android™ 4.0 software version or higher. If the Xperia Link™ application is not pre-installed on your Xperia™ phone, you can download it from Google Play™.

To connect your tablet with an Xperia™ phone using Xperia Link™

1Make sure the Bluetooth function is activated on both your Xperia™ phone and tablet and that the phone has an active mobile data connection.

Launched in early 2013, it quickly gained attention for its appealing balance of performance and portability.

One of the standout features of the Xperia Tablet Z is its ultra-slim profile. With a thickness of just 6.9 mm, it was one of the thinnest tablets on the market when it was released. Weighing only 495 grams, it is lightweight and easily portable, making it a convenient option for users who are always on the go. This sleek design is complemented by a glass front and back, giving it a premium feel that aligns with the high standards of the Sony brand.

The display of the Xperia Tablet Z is equally impressive, boasting a 10.1-inch Full HD TFT screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The TRILUMINOS technology enhances color reproduction, while the X-Reality engine offers upscaled images, ensuring that videos and images appear crisp and vibrant. This makes it an excellent choice for media consumption, gaming, and web browsing.

Performance-wise, the Sony SGP521 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, featuring a quad-core CPU that can handle multitasking with ease. Coupled with 2 GB of RAM, it provides a smooth user experience, whether running demanding applications or switching between tasks.

In terms of connectivity, the Xperia Tablet Z supports various options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC (Near Field Communication), allowing for easy pairing with other devices and sharing data seamlessly. The device also boasts a 6000 mAh battery, ensuring sufficient power for long periods of use.

The Xperia Tablet Z is not just about hardware; it also features an 8.1-megapixel rear camera, complemented by a 2.2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls and selfies. The rear camera is capable of capturing high-quality images and videos, making it a versatile tool for photography enthusiasts.

Finally, another key characteristic of the Sony SGP521 is its durability. The tablet is IP55 and IP57 certified, making it resistant to dust and water. This resilience allows users to use the device in a variety of environments without concern.
