Sony Tablet S is a good quality Android tablet launched in 2011, featuring a large 9.4" multi-touch capacitive screen, a Dual-Core processor ticking at 1 GHz, and 2 cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front side camera.
Sony ships the Sony Tablet S with a NVIDIA Tegra 2 system chip, backed up by a great performance 1 gigahertz Dual-Core CPU with 1 GB of RAM. A key advantage of this tablet is the 32 GB astonishing internal storage memory and an SD card slot, enough to install lots of applications, games, songs, photos and videos without having to worry about filling it.
This tablet is a bit heavy comparing to other portable tablets , with a weight of 21.09 oz. While the Sony Tablet S is thin it's not so thin as many other tablets in the market, with a thickness of 0.4 inches. This tablet is quite a compact tablet device, considering it presents a 9.4" display and it's only 9.5 inches long and 6.86 inches wide.
The Sony Tablet S has a good 800 x 1280 9.4-inches screen, which makes everything look nice. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
The Sony Tablet S has wifi connection (but it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G data connection, supported by UMTS and EDGE technologies. This tablet works with a SIM card for GSM networks.
The Sony Tablet S is equipped with two cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front camera. It can also film 1280x720 HD videos at 30 frames per second. This camera also includes auto-focus.
This tablet comes with a 5000 mAh incredible Li-Ion non-removable battery that provides the Sony Tablet S an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to take into account is that this tablet's battery is non-replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to lose its charge, while with its 5000 mAh you will probably buy a new tablet before that happens.
This tablet also comes with a couple interesting characteristics such as Infrared Port, Bluetooth (enables communication with other tablet devices, computers and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.
This device is priced around 795 dollars, expensive for a tablet device this level. No matter whether you will use this tablet for work, want a tablet device to play lots of games or want a social device, you will definitely be very happy with it.
