Revamped aluminium build, Splash-proof finish, Some nice software features
Screen could have been higher res, Awaiting Jelly Bean update
The Sony Xperia Tablet S is thinner, lighter and better constructed than its predecessor. Sony keeps the same distinctive, curved design but has added some interesting new features and given the product a splash-proof coating...
" on virtually all smart devices I review until we get more of the pure Android experience, but this is what I want to bring my readers - the complete and utter truth, from my personal experiences with these devices. Sony and the rest of the companies ...
Great for music, Mini apps, Premium and distinctive build, Powerful processor
Terrible battery life, Underwhelming screen, Glitchy camera, Dated Android OS
The Sony Xperia Tablet S does so many things right but many other things wrong. As a portable music player it's almost unrivalled, it's pretty good for video too in a lot of ways, but the poor screen resolution holds it back from being brilliant. The buil...

The Sony Xperia Tablet S has a comfortable, high-quality design, a sharp-looking screen, storage expansion, and potential as a universal remote alternative
Unfortunately Wi-Fi currently shuts off whenever the tablet sleeps, waking the tablet from sleep takes way too long, and its screen flickers intermittently. Price is a bit high for what's offered
The Xperia Tablet S has an excellent design, but there are cheaper alternatives that provide similar and better tablet experiences....
Good hardware is nothing without solid software these days. We can't recommend the Xperia Tablet S until Sony gets the software right — especially the Wi-Fi issues. This could be such a capable and fantastic device, but it had its brains scrambled at birt...
Abstract: The Sony Tablet S has recently received the Android 4.0 ICS update, so we thought it a good idea to do a full review of the device. While this device first came out in the latter part of 2011, it works just a smooth as any 2012 tab. It may not have the fa...

Unique style, comfortable to hold and use, Can be used as an IR remote, Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited services
Proprietary power connector is hard to fit, Screen is a fingerprint magnet
Initially I dismissed the Sony Tablet S as too expensive, and there's no question it would be much more attractive if Sony Australia had passed on the price cut it gave its US customers, but at $599 from Mobicity compared to (for example) $549 for the Gal...
You know what the Sony Tablet S kind of reminded us of? The Amazon Kindle Fire . Sony is using the same MO of bundling its various content services in to make the tablet more appealing than the standard-issue Android, and it comes close to pulling it off...
Unique design; Very speedy; Nice customisation of Google's Android Honeycomb OS; Universal remote control for home theatre environments;
Proprietary charging port; Rear camera lacks flash; Some apps and functionality can be buggy;
While it lacks the thin design and build quality of Apple's slate, Sony's debut tablet is a nice implementation of Android that works a treat as a universal controller for your home entertainment system.There's no 3G option or a camera flash, so the story...
Distinctive and comfortable design, Some handy exclusive apps, Good battery life
Build quality, Web browser performance
Sony has put a lot of work into the Tablet S and it definitely shows: its the most comfortable Android tablet to hold and use. It also bundles some exclusive, nifty apps that you won't find on any other tablet. We wish the screen was brighter, build quali...
