Docomo Sony Tablet S 3G+WiFi 16GB

Sony Tablet S is a nice device released in April 2011, provisioned with a 9.4-inches multi touch screen, a good performance Dual-Core CPU speeding at 1 GHz, and two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front camera. Let's take a better view of what this device can do.

The Sony Tablet S is powered by a NVIDIA Tegra 2 chip, backed up by a fast Dual-Core processing unit running at 1000 MHz with 1 GB of RAM. An excellent feature of this tablet is the 32 GB huge internal storage and an external memory slot, more than enough to install tons of applications, games, songs, pictures and videos without having to worry about how much memory is left.

This tablet's thickness of 0.4 inches is a little bit far from today's standards, but it still feels right in the user's hand. Though this tablet only has 9.5 inches long, it still manages to pack a 9.4" display. Sony appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 22.05 ounces tablet.

Sony designed this tablet with a good 9.4 inches screen, and a 800 x 1280 resolution, which makes all photos and movies look quite good. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This tablet is equipped with two cameras, a 5 MP back camera and a 0.3 megapixels front-facing camera. It is capable of capturing videos in 1280x720 (HD) at 30 fps. Additionally, this tablet's camera also features auto-focus.

The Sony Tablet S counts with a 5000 mAh inmense Li-Ion non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it. An issue to consider is that this tablet's battery is not replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to lose its charge, even though having 5000 mAh you will probably buy a new tablet before that happens.

This tablet offers WiFi capability (but it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G connection type, over UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Sony Tablet S uses a SIM card to use GSM services.

This tablet also includes a handful of useful characteristics such as Infrared Transmitter, Bluetooth (2.1) and GPS Geolocation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Sony is offering this device for 475 dollars, which is not a good offer for this type of tablet. The Sony Tablet S is probably the right one for you it doesn't matter whether you want this device for playing games, want it for work or will use it mostly for internet broswing and social networks.
