Sony announced today the launch of Xperia Tablet Z, a premium 10.1″ Android tablet that is claimed to be the world’s thinnest.

The new device joins Sony’s flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z, in offering consumers Sony technology, entertainment, design and connectivity.

Featuring the OmniBalance design as the Xperia Z smartphone, Xperia Tablet Z is also the slimmest 10.1″ tablet in the world at 6.9 mm and lightweight at 495 grams, according to Sony.
