Who still uses their Z3 TC? - Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Mine is going strong and would be turning 3 years next year January. Heavily used and sometimes abused but still battery life is great especially after I factory resetted it upon updating to MM. It's just sad that there's no nougat update and no proper multiwindow support. So who still uses their tablet and what SOT are you getting?

Hi there. I'm still using it with a Nougat Rom and all is working very nicely! I can advise you with getting Nougat and Root on your device if you want!

I got mine for free from Sony to test their Theme Creator tool on before it was released and still use it every night. It's a beautiful slim device that I'll keep until it dies.

I would have like to have put Nougat on but I'll stick with MM given the issues.

Well I know that and have enabled that but it's very buggy and unreliable unlike the one in Nougat. Thanks for that anyway.

Got this tablet for 60 dollars.. Supposedly the guy who sold it to me never used it and got it as a present. He had the original box with everything. Battery is lasting over 5hrs screen on, but don't know if it's worth keeping or selling at this point. I love everything about this tablet though its perfect just feel like there will be no support for it soon. Also how hard is it replacing the battery if I do end up keeping it?

i still use it daily for my go to manga reader. i get about 10 hour+ sot while reading mangas and 8 hour+ sot while browsing the net. additional info i am still on android 4.4.4 with root without google play service and these sot r with brightness turn to lowest....

---

Yep daily driver. Nothing better around.

I still use it since 2.5 years as my daily driver for books and youtube/netflix. battery was replaced once, so my battery time is still amazing. i get 11h of reading at 50% brightness and about 9 on netflix/youtube.
if there would be a newer revision of thit tablet, i would not hesitate to buy this thing.
or is there any new tablet out there, that fits IP68 and >=8 inch display size?
any recommendations appreciated.
