Sony Tablet P 3G - User Reviews

  • Announce it in 2017?

  • Yes... Samsung announced an actual foldable phone... not to screens held together with a hinge... duh... there is a difference! Read a bit more...

  • samsung just announce foldable tablet after 6 years sony did it

  • I feel like this was ahead of it's time. A great idea for a tablet.

  • Sony does not support it anymore. But you can get a rooted update here: I used the "S.onyTablet.S__FLASHER__v2.2.7z" on mine. But needed to root it first (as it was that AT&T "locked" version). It worked for me.

  • Yes. The AT&T version (that I have) came with Android 3 but can be upgradeable to a rooted unnoficial 4.0.3 ONLY after rooting and not every root utility can do it with that version (don't remember if I did it using OneClick Root, RootGenius or Kingo Root on mine), but this Android update to 4.0.3 unlocks the device SIM, so it can be used with brazilian providers, but only for DATA, not voice calls (instead via IP-phone apps).

  • It's a very beautiful and elegant gadget. The battery IS removable (I have two). The last Android OS that I found for it was 4.0.3 Release 5A (Ice Cream Sandwish). Unfortunately Sony does not enable updates for a newer OS and there is no Cyanogen for this (at least yet) as this tablet is pretty rare. Anyway, this device works very well and it's very fast even with modern apps (November 2016). The AT&T version comes with Android 3 but can be upgradeable to a rooted unnoficial 4.0.3 ONLY after rooting and not every root utility can do it with that version (don't remember if I did it using OneClick Root, RootGenius or Kingo Root on mine), but this Android update to 4.0.3 unlocks the device SIM, so it can be used with brazilian providers, but only for DATA, not voice calls (instead via IP-phone apps). Some apps that are part of these old Android versions are not supported anymore. The screen rotation can be somewhat annoying and there are a very few apps that supports the dual screen correctly, but the image quality is great. I'm still searching for a PDF reader that supports the dual screen correctly. I love this device.

  • I want a customize Sony tablet p with my name

  • I so love this tablet. I used to take it everywhere. It easily fits in a coat pocket. The dual screen nature of the device allows for you ta use it like a micro laptop, with the keyboard on the bottom screen, or read it like a book, only down side to the dual display is the thick black line in the middle when you use it as one big display. The other downside is not having an upgrade from android v4.0.3 I would love to still use this but so many things want newer android versions. Someone needs to make an updated version!

  • I love it it supports hrll lots of windows pc games extreme nvidea graphics in build processor like no where brilliant

  • I want to change my teblet display for more resolution.Is screen display available online?? Reting of display : Dual TFT capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors Size :5.5 inches (~26.4% screen-to-body ratio)

  • i really like different kind of gadgets,,,,,, it looks very nice.... can be operated very easily.... but only minus point is it has no calling facility .......

  • is sony tablet p 3g has calling facility

  • its a raelly good tab.... wid sexy design.... but why calling facality is not included and also gprs data....

  • Do you think so?

  • can it be upgradeable to latest android OS v4.0.3?

  • I root my sony tablet p AIO FLASHER v3 found in xda, try to google and follow the instruction carefully now mine has long lyf battery, before it will drain very fast its ok, change my home default to HOLO launcher also. Now its wrking great. Try it also.

  • No you ca'nt

  • Sony P superb charging no problem buy a second battery as a backup had my Sony 18/9 months cant fault it.

  • The battery on my Sony Tablet P seems flat as tried to charge with two chargers no response. Can it be charged by mains with no battery?

  • I have problem on charging when I plug in on charging indicator is response rapid on after 1 min it off. And it have AC charging or DC ?

  • I have problem on charging when I plug in on charging indicator is response rapid on after 1 min it off. And it have AC charging or DC ?

  • Any chance to have GSM call on Sony tablet P 3G even by software upgrade or developer patch? Or there's hardware lag causing this issue?

  • I owned this one ... Pros: Fast Connection to Internet Good Looking while playing youtube Good looking while watching movies Good looking Chatting FB, Twitter, YM , SKYPe etc. Cons: Bulky Heavy Playing Movies sometimes getting laggish Awckward using FB or any sites when it is fully screened I sold my blackberry playbook and bought this one Too bad.. I loved my playbook than this but i dont like the OS of Blackberry.. So , i sold my sony tablet p and bought samsung galaxy tab p1000 3g... After few days i sold my samsung galaxy tab p1000 because too bad , when i am using facebook to my sgt so poor, very sluggy.. Thats why i sold it... And i bought Iphone 4, presently im using it, this is what i am looking for, it satisfied me a lot, playing youtube, and everything are working great... So, for now I will prefer to apple products... Iphone 4 is good rather than HTC desire hd (i owned htc desire hd for 9months) So , as a result! I love iOS rather than Android OS If you wish to buy Tablet U better buy iPad mini .. I dont owned ipad mini but i tried to explore everything And i am planning to buy it... Thanks apple...

  • it's very naice and its desighners treated like a superhuman how ever i can'n have it in IRAN because of its price.... poor Majid

  • you can use sim card for internet using 3g

  • No you Can,t call with it. You can Call by only internet (Ex.Skype)

  • does it uses sim card to use internet

  • In this tablet ,can we make phone calls using sim balance ?? reply soon

  • In this tablet ,can we make a phone call with sim balance ?? reply soon

  • nice device but not available in bahrain....

  • It's a tablet not a phone at all and It not have any minus points because people who own it they that its a tablet and PSP be certified it means you can play PSP games on this device by using emulator which default comes in mostly Sony tables and you can use it as a android tablet .....I like my tablets its cool and until now me not have any problem.with it :)

  • big minus.... its not a normal 2g gsm phone at all. you cant make a single normal cell phone call or sms. its more of a laptop or computer, not really a phone at all

  • sony s2 where aviable in saudi arabia

  • yes

  • Is this tablet support Skype Video calls?

  • It can see when clean is bangladesh

  • it is already available . i own it.

  • When it can see at Bangladesh?

  • is this sony tablet P 3G + wifi is available in tripoli, libya?

  • When it will available in India

  • do like how it looks when Fold

  • This version of Ice Cream Sandwich brings some important developments. He now wears an integrated direct access to the SD card and the files stored within it.

  • When will this be available in Colombia????

  • No it doesn't, you are lying

  • When will this be available in South Africa, please.

  • In real, it looks cheap and stupid, and bad display.

  • its 2gb internal + the 2gb sd card it comes with. the idea is you put an sd card in it (under the battery) like 90% of android phones.

  • on my aus vertion i can sms just fine. cant make calls

  • no its a tabet althow you can send and reseve sms

  • it is a phone

  • 4 gig internal? get real! 8 is joke atm, with 16 getting amusing. Another elite price tag brings back memories of the Clie. How are they doing btw? All those 3 to 500 dollar Clie owners likely can not wait to jump on this FAD.

  • SMS AND MMS is not available ........plaese sugest how to sms

  • no edge

  • i just got my tablet p as a gift frm my uncle... First of all nice work sony, for the innovative design.due 2 the foldable screen it fits in my jeans pocket but it's bulky and for this reason carrying in pocket doesn't seems a good idea for me. The UI is quite nice,and the 5mp shooter does its job pretty well but when the surroundings get darker the camera is of no uce. For my disappointment many videos played in the upper screen only except for the youtube. If you are a hard core gamer then this is not the device u r looking for.... The video sound was not up 2 mark the but that's what the small speakers can offer. I cannot give any report on the battery back up with this 2 days experience. Innovation is nothing new for sony and has become a synonym for their brand name ,but this time not soooo gr8...may be the greater expectations caused disappointment. Any way i give 7. 5 / 10.

  • i think sony has shown it's new creativity and ilike this tablet design.

  • this Tablet is goof, i hope Sony will market and improve their own OS which is Vita OS or vOS i hope they will implement the vOS on their future electronics i like the vita OS, android is sucks! if it not because of Sony i will not use Android

  • This model will be received like IPhone, if it is made for WINDOWS 8 and thickness less than 20mm.

  • This tablet is perfect for my wife :). I really like it, too!!

  • Its great design and have charming looks, i just love it and want to buy if any one have it...........!!!!!!!

  • well i think SONY has a great movement this far.. just remembering this could be a good war between SONY and apple, samsung too.. for sure the winner still the apple, coz no one could beat the user interface that apple has.. but the weakness of any other phones which has a great brand, even SONY, is they couldn't make any OS by themself.. this reminds me that they just could make a great hardware.. android is great, but not good enough to face iOS.. the android interface is likely windows PC.. and it's pretty sucks, I'm just thinking is there anyone in windows could make a better themes for android? .. if only SONY could use the iOS, then it's gonna be great..

  • no gprs and edge!

  • Wow! This tablet amazes me! I like the combination of power and Sony technology. I'm gonna get this.

  • r u sure it doesnt have d sms option?

  • I would like a more rectangular shape though more memory and 6"+ screen with thin bezel.

  • SMS options is not there ........sound disgusting

  • Now this is interesting... A compact tablet.

  • its awesome but is tz flip type

  • the design is awefull... it would fade pretty easily

  • me too, its different from any tablets in the market. hope itll be available in my country asap

  • Its great design and have charming looks, i just love it and want to buy if any one have it...........!!!!!!!

  • im from philippines

  • when it will be release globally? until now in my country even the tablet S is not available common Sony if you want to sell your product release it all over the world with the same price

  • I don�t know why phone like that didn�t have GPRS and i think that the battery is so weak but it�s very good design :(

  • what is the not comptabile for 3g so network faild ignoor my question

  • wow actually nice design..

  • it looks like a prototype of a genius idea))

  • Actually I meant Sony Tablet S & P are both my favorite!

  • Sony Tablet P is my favorite tablet! I also love Tablet S!

  • i am no lg fan and never had an lg phone. i just like the ideas put on the double play.

  • quote "if this is a phone there is very close comparison (possible patent infringement? i'm not sure) against lg double play" If the lg have games, it would infringe with the Nintendo nds! lmfao!

  • no body cares about that LG thing.. it seems it does not exist in mobile world. You are one of the few LG fans

  • if this is a phone there is very close comparison (possible patent infringement? i'm not sure) against lg double play.

  • All android devices have via players freely available in market.

  • does it have divx xvid please answer me ?

  • does it have divx xvid please answer me ?

  • A very interesting device - great design. It's a shame it doesn't have voice/text capabilities though. I'd buy this and wouldn't bother with a phone if that were the case. I think the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus or 7.7 would be more useful as a tablet.. but I'm sure there'd be people who would prefer this device.

  • I have watched a few hands-on vids on youtube. I have to say this is most stupid device ever from Sony. Have they lost their mind? The black bar in the middle drove me mad. I will be surprised if it sells well.

  • we are waiting,to see the mobile

  • I am getting one for chirstmas

  • Will be an excellent device if clubbed with Voice and SMS feature. Looking forwared for its release.

  • its sony :) !! price i high :( ! but no EDGE/GRRS !! why people like ? no phone. it should be use like phone then will be great :)) .. no, not interested !

  • I agree. This would be an amazing device if it doubled as a phone.. Without that functionality, I'm not too interested in any tablet.

  • acording to my openian i want to say that this is the best deal of world and this quilty is best but price is very high only that problem 10 of 10 according to me

  • no gprs or edge boo

  • Does it useful for watching movies by two screens or one only ?? thanx

  • wwwoooooooo

  • This is the most promising tablet / large screen mobile phone design to date. I agree completely. needs voice function when closed. could also add another (2nd) fold holding hardware keyboard. one screen could face outward provider closed functionality with keyboard and second screen

  • sony means -super modal

  • Innovative design...

  • it would be great if sony will ad voice and sms functionality in tablet P. it has a potential to be a portable phone or a tablet.. pls sony make it a phone too

  • I would SO love one of these, except that it is lacking something pretty basic for a smartphone. It appears that it can't be used as a phone! "no support for GSM voice communication, SMS, and MMS" Sony: Why, oh why, oh why?

  • This taplet looks amazing...

  • Good to hear from Sony... With a keypad and a little screen in front, this would actually be the bomb to watch out for
