Comparison review
The Xperia Tablet Z has a score of 68.5, which is a bit better than iPad 9.7-inch's 65.4 global score.

Xperia Tablet Z counts with Android 4.4.4 OS, while iPad 9.7-inch has iOS 13.x OS.
The Xperia Tablet Z has a processing unit that is very similar to iPad 9.7-inch's processing unit, and although the Xperia Tablet Z has an additional graphics processing unit and a larger number of cores (but slower), they both have a 2 GB RAM. Sony Xperia Tablet Z counts with a little sharper screen than iPad 9.7-inch, because although it has a quite lower 1200 x 1920 pixels resolution and a little inferior amount of pixels per display inch, it also counts with a bit bigger display.
The Xperia Tablet Z features a much better storage capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than Apple iPad 9.7-inch, because it has a slot for SD memory cards that holds a maximum of 64 GB. IPad 9.7-inch shoots way better pictures and videos than Sony Xperia Tablet Z, although it has a camera with a worse 8 MP resolution and a lower 1920x1080 video definition.
The iPad 9.7-inch counts with a superior battery lifetime than Sony Xperia Tablet Z, because it has 8827mAh of battery capacity.
Although Xperia Tablet Z is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Apple iPad 9.7-inch, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Apple iPad 9.7-inch. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy Apple iPad 9.7-inch, letting go a few features and specs, but you will get the most out of your savings.
