Dell Venue 8 7000 vs Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact vs Nexus 9:Hot cake is..................
Dell Venue 8 7000 The Dell Venue 8 7000 is remarkably thin and lightweight with a comfortable feel. At just 6 mm it outclasses the Galaxy Tab S 8.4, Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact and iPad Air 2 which are 6.6-, 6.4- and 6.1 mm respectively. One thing is for sure, it feels extremely svelte and lightweight in the hand – although 310 g makes it a little heavier than its Samsung and Sony rivals. We also like the feel of the uni-body metal casing which covers most of the tablet. The Intel RealSense depth-sensing camera is an innovative feature and the preloaded Dell Gallery efficiently works as a central hub for photos. Dell's Venue 8 7000 tablet is the first device to feature Intel's RealSense Snapshot camera, which uses depth perception to let you refocus after a shot or measure objects you've photographed. However, this 8.4-inch slate has a lot more going for it than just a fancy camera, with its sleek, ultra-slim aluminum chassis, long battery life and the most colorful screen we've ever seen on a tablet. The screen is a rich, sharp 8.4-inch OLED, at 2,560 by 1,600 and 359ppi. That's the same size and resolution as the Galaxy Tab S 8.4. Most of the front of the tablet is a glass slab that runs up to the edges of the body, although there's a bezel for the screen under the glass. Below the screen, there's a half-inch "chin" with the front-facing camera and speaker on it. That's a very convenient way to hold the tablet when you're doing things like reading or watching videos. The Venue 8 7000 has all the latest network technologies: dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, GPS, and NFC. The Dell Venue 8 7000 comes with Anroid 4.4 KitKat, and may be getting an Android 5.0 Lollipop update sooner rather than later. Battery life is great, at 8 hours, 5 minutes of Wi-Fi video streaming. Dell Venue 8 7000 sports 16 GB of internal storage, 2 GB of RAM Its storage capacity expands up to 512GB via microSD card slot and it has a long-lasting battery.
but,Screen quality also does nothing to help pictures taken with the tablet look better, even with all of the sophisticated stereoscopic camera technology onboard.There's a learning curve to using the depth-sensing camera and the photo-editing software. The tablet can get hot during long periods of use.
THE BOTTOM LINE Dell's ultra-thin machined aluminum frame and its even thinner bezels on a fresh, nonsymmetrical design make this the best looking slate next to any iPad.With its powerful 3D camera and strong image editing features the Dell Venue 8 7000 makes the strongest case yet for tablet photography.

VS Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact It's a stunningly thin and light, premium Android tablet that gets almost everything right. The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact stuffs a heap of power and a good display into an extremely slim, waterproof body. There's no doubt the Z3 Tablet Compact looks great. It's amazingly slim at just 6.4mm and weighs just 270g, While its ability to act as a screen for a PlayStation 4 can be shaky at times, it's a novel feature not found on other Android tablets. The tablet comes with a 8.00-inch display with a resolution of 1920 pixels by 1200 pixels. The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is powered by 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and it comes with 3GB of RAM. The tablet packs 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 128GB via a microSD card. As far as the cameras are concerned, the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact packs a 8.1-megapixel primary camera on the rear and a 2.2-megapixel front shooter for selfies. The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact runs Android 4.4 and is powered by a 4500mAh non removable battery. It measures 123.00 x 213.00 x 6.40 (height x width x thickness) and weighs 280.00 grams. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC. Touch to connect your Xperia Android™ device with your NFC-enabled SmartWear. Get notifications, control your music and more directly from your SmartWear, while life logging everywhere you go. Battery life when playing video at normal brightness levels is fantastic, making it perfect for making any long-haul flights more bearable.
THE BAD Value isn't top-notch when the second-teir iPad mini is so much cheaper, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 offers extra features at the same price. Sony has filled the interface up with so much pre-loaded software that it looks cluttered before you've even downloaded your first app. Opting for a higher resolution display would help it compete against many of its rivals.
THE BOTTOM LINE The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is an attractive and powerful Android tablet which comes with some neat exclusive features The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact's wealth of power, its skinny, waterproof body and decent screen make it a good option to consider if you're after a portable tablet. Although its screen resolution doesn't put it over its competitors, its ability to play games from your PS4 -- although not perfect yet -- gives it a unique selling point. Price:$499
VS Nexus 9 The Nexus 9 is a bit of a weird one - it's both the replacement for the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10, without really being a sequel to either thanks to the all-new 8.9-inch screen.
For the eagle eyed among you, you may notice it's jumped up a place in our rankings. That's because it can now be picked up for around £210, making it super affordable. It'll likely be replaced in the next month when Google launches a new slate - but for now it's a steal.
It's mimicking the iPad range by going for a 4:3 screen ratio (which means wider viewing for web browsing, but annoying black bars above and below when watching movies) so you've got a wider device that's not quite able to be gripped in one hand.
But that doesn't mean it's not a great tablet, helped by the fact it's made by HTC. The brand has brought over its Boomsound speakers for greater front facing audio, and the screen is certainly high resolution too.
