Sony has unveiled what it says is the thinnest tablet computer of its kind.
The Android-powered Xperia Z is 0.27in (6.9mm)-thick. That is 0.01in thinner than Apple's iPad Mini despite featuring a bigger 10.1in screen.
It coincides with news that LG is releasing a 5in handset - the Optimus G Pro - making it the latest to offer the so-called "phablet" form factor.
Both devices have only been confirmed for release in Japan, but more details are expected next month.
