Sony Tablet Z works under water but cant make calls. Still Good?

Sony on Monday announced worldwide availability of its Xperia Tablet Z Android tablet. The device, announced earlier this year, represents Sony's attempt to lay claim to the premium Android tablet market: it is thin, light, and big on features. 

Though you can take this tablet under water for about 30 minutes, you cannot make calls from anywhere which I think is a major drawback. You dont have to pick the tablet to speak on call, but a network connection surely adds to the mobility that tablets are praised for.


The Tablet Z is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, with each core clocked at 1.5 GHz. This is paired with 2 GB of RAM and an Adreno 320 GPU for added horsepower. The Tablet Z features Sony's Stamina Mode, which can be used for power management. It includes 16 GB of on-board storage and supports microSD cards up to 64 GB for additional storage. The Tablet Z runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.
