INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Update: Mention of two Sony tablets has been found in an official APK, but another source claims that they've both been cancelled.Sony
released the Xperia Z5 at the tail end of 2015, but its last slate was the Xperia Z4 Tablet a whole generation earlier, and more recently
Sony has shown little interest in either tablets or the Xperia Z range, with the likes of the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact launching
instead.So we've been due a new slate for quite some time.The Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet was a great attempt, topping our list of the best
Android slates for a time
But there's plenty that Sony can do better, especially with so much time having passed, so we've made a check list of what we'd like to
