The plus-sized tablet comes with a 2500×1600 WXGA display, 3GB of RAM, up to 64GB of inbuilt storage and a rear-facing 8-megapixel camera running on Android 4.4. You can read his first impressions here.
  • Sony has finally revealed some official sales figures for the PlayStation 4, with the company claiming it sold 4.2 million before the end of last year.
