Sony Tablet S is a mid level tablet released back in 2011, with a large 9.4-inches touch-screen, a good performance Dual-Core CPU running at 1000 MHz, and 2 cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. Let's take a closer sight of what this tablet device has to offer.
Though the Sony Tablet S only has 9.5" long and 6.86" wide, it still manages to hold a 9.4" display. This device is very slim and looks really nice, while it's not close to being one of the thinnest tablet devices currently available, with a thickness of 0.4". Sony didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 21.09 ounces tablet.
Sony packed the Sony Tablet S with an average 9.4 inches screen, and a resolution of 800 x 1280 , which makes everything look quite vivid. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.
This tablet comes with a fast 1000 megahertz Dual-Core processing unit, packed into the NVIDIA Tegra 2 system chip and 1 GB of RAM memory. The Sony Tablet S has a 16 GB quite big internal storage memory and a slot for an external memory card, allowing the user to install hundreds of apps without worrying about space.
This tablet includes WiFi capability (but it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a wireless router or modem) and 3G internet connection, using UMTS and EDGE technologies. This tablet uses a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.
This device is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 0.3 megapixels front facing camera. The Sony Tablet S can also film HD 1280x720 videos at 30 frames per second. This portable tablet also features auto-focus.
This tablet comes with a huge 5000 mAh Li-Ion non-removable battery that can keep this portable tablet running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it at all. An issue to take into account is that this tablet's battery isn't removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to last shorter, whereas having 5000 mAh you will probably replace this portable tablet before that happens.
This device also comes with a handful of useful characteristics such as Infrared Blaster, Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
This device is priced around 385 dollars, not a good offer for comparing with similar tablets. If you will use this tablet mostly for social networks, want a device for work or want this tablet to play games, this tablet is the correct option for you.
