Sony Xperia Tablet S review

The Sony Xperia Tablet S was announced in Berlin at IFA 2012 and gives the well received Tablet S a welcome refresh, while retaining its iconic folded-book design.
Measuring in at 241x8.8x174mm, the Sony Xperia Tablet S is thinner and lighter than the original Sony Tablet S, has an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor and runs the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Xperia Tablet S will come in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB internal storage models and has an 8MP rear-facing camera.

Round the back you'll see two speaker grills at the bottom of the Xperia Tablet S, plus two small dots above them, which raise the tablet off a flat surface, giving a better angle for typing on the stock Android keyboard, and allowing the sound to flow out of the speakers.

 

 The Xperia Tablet S also includes several of Sony's signal processing technologies, such as Clearaudio+ mode so users can experience sound with more clarity, "across a wide spectrum from deep lows to crisp highs".

"Ask Xperia Tablet S to switch on your TV, cable box and home entertainment system, select inputs, adjust volume and more. Everything's executed at a single touch, and up to six macros can be named and stored," Sony said.

Sony said its new Xperia Tablet S will be available from September, but has not announced pricing yet.
