Sony Xperia Tablet S - User Reviews

  • I have the same problem

  • I got this tablet (16GB) for free through an internet contest in middle 2013 and very happy with it last years, until it started to get slower and slower... even I made system restore and install a light launcher, this tablet is deprecated... realy a pity they did not unlock the code for making it upgradable to android 5...

  • So, quick useless review (I don't think people actually still buy this tablet). Pro: - great batterylife, even after three years. - Nice and bright display (however not a high resolution) - has got a nice weight to it Con: - pretty slow, it slows down a lot after a year or so. - forget multitasking, or even just having two things open at the same time. The ram is both slow and really limited (1gb) - screen replacement is near to impossible (shops don't want do do it and it's cheaper to buy a new tablet) - can't play youtube at 1080p, and strugles with 720p at 60fps - the glass is really easy to chatter, especially at the bottom because it runs until there are borders, so don't drop it, even from waste heigth with being slowed down and having a protective cover and being in a bag

  • I have sony experia tab s, it is a good tablet. bt frm last 3 months it is nt working properly I dont know why. it gets hanged while playing games. app gets unistalled automatically... thankyou can u plz fix the error

  • after I updated my sony sgpt12 to 4.1.1 the wifi does not have signal again, please what is the solution ?

  • Where may I get a charger for a Sony Tablet S Tablet around Pretoria

  • I tested a 64GB SD card in it and it works, It's still an awesome tablet

  • The best electrical appliances in the world are SONY,to see, playstation,tv,photo cameras and world renowned company producing movies SONY PICTURE,SONY has existed for many years while others come and go see blackberry - nokia and others who are fashion

  • Same problem here. Since I bought this tab new I was only ever able to hear through one earbud/headphone with all I tried (Samsung from Walmart, Sony headphones, cheap gas station earbuds, and apple earbuds) for maybe 1 1/2 years. No sound after that though - not sure why.

  • Sonys first tablet so as a first adopter I hoped for some recognition of this.No upgrade to jellybean and it is locked.I will never forgive and forget being suckered by Sony and will never buy any of their products

  • How can I get ssound from headphones working? Help

  • Tablet does NOT have GSM connection (no Sim card), so it is not possible to hotspot... Sigh

  • this tablet doesn't have hotspot..

  • This tablet is amazing! Advantages: ..good quality ..great design ..a fair 8MP camera ..cheap ..available storage (16GB TO 64GB) Disadvantages: ..only 9.4 inches?? (Ipad is 9.7 inches) ..Low SD card storage (32GB) ..Low Ram (1GB) ..annoying like backflip cover ..Not water or dust resistant?? ..why 4.1 jelly bean (it must get 4.2 jelly bean) That's all (Tell me about your experience about this tablet) ..

  • I have this tab and its excellent, especially if you have misplaced yiur remote, there is a built in copyright remote app, works via infra red. Its better than using an app over wifi as there is no lag and its for all your devices you have a remote for. I can connect to my tv, my sky, my blue ray, my dvd, my hdd, my hifi and everything! performance is excellent.

  • Will this tablet upgrade to 4.2 jelly bean?

  • use wireless 3g modem, usb 3g modem with a router, your android phone wifi tethering. :)

  • you can get wireless modem to connect with internet ,if you do not have it then get Access Point device to give you Wireless connection... easy and practical

  • I'm willing to buy one, but is it still necessary to use a screen protector ? ( such as Sony SGP-FLS3 ) or is the screen though enough to resist " daily use" and is the screen "scratch protected" ? And is it possible to apply one later ? or should this be done immediate when you open the box ? Thnx....

  • Little question, Is it still necessary to have a screen protector, such as Sony SGP-FLS3 or is the screen though enough to resist "daily use" and scratches ? And ca

  • why u are saying that?, i am supposed to receive this tablet tomorrow, could u please explain in details

  • this sony xperia tablet S is kiiling me about music background...very disappoint with this sony xperia tablet S

  • on the specs?..GSM network not supported..this is good for gaming features pretty nice work

  • i want to buy this tablet but 3 g version is expensive can i use a 3g usb to access the internet or not? or can i connect my phone to to this tablet and get the internet from the phone? i have connection between phone and normal usb not micro usb so how can i overcome that? someone has mentioned free application to access internet? i didn't understand that?!!!

  • Please, I need the 3G version of 64GB but it's not available in my region, Only the wifi only. How can I use the wifi only with my sim card.?? Please help me

  • Sony Xperia Tablet S gets software update brings support for 128GB SDXC cards

  • I love to see Sony will also be releasing a 7" tablet next year (2013) to really compete with competition in the tablet market.

  • thanks, now i'll just gotta wait for the tablet to be released in my country...

  • save yourself a bunch of money and buy the WiFi only version. Use the hotspot function of your mobile phone (or use one of the many free apps) to get your tablet online. it's easy and much cheaper than the 3G version :-) it works for me.

  • 10 inch is way better. this tablet is really cool. i have it for a couple of months now and i'm not disappointed yet

  • hey guyz, Is a 10 inch tablet better than a 7 inch tablet for making document,watching movies,gaming, etc????

  • where sim mode?

  • That's not true. If you want smartphone go Samsung, if you want tablet go Apple

  • ted, how can you say this tablet failed??

  • Another failed product from Sony. If u want the best tablet, then buy a Samsung...

  • I seriously want this tablet ! I love it so much...

  • Chris, the Sony Tab is available, check with Mtn and Vodacom

  • this is a very good tab for 22,000INR price tag in india & offers great specs,battery backup is just ok.

  • i hope they release this with android jellybean in repay for the late arrival

  • Brilliant piece of Kit, does what all others do plus alot more like infra red remote control TV AUDIO HIFI Lights etc. Holds like a book perfect do to shape unlik all other pads which are tireing to hold, all in all top marks sony.

  • Cause normal looking tabs are TOO mainstream, Sony ROCKS anyway, whatever they do, im sure they have the best in mind

  • Does anyone know is it going to be available in Serbia?

  • when it is going to be launched in india? pls tell pls.

  • I want this tablet. it makes perfect sense, sd slot, remote, ps certified, rugged. those are the key factors for me, I want this over nexus 10, iPad. but sadly Sony is useless in worldwide domination. it probably won't be available where I am in south Africa. lame I would have bought it.

  • I dont know why sony does not make a proper NORMAL LOOKING tablet

  • Relrase 6 is out.. better

  • sony gonna hit a bump hard 1)they already delayed its launch too late 2)then arrived manufacturing defect 3)ipad mini is on way to be launched

  • Doesnt matter if its delayed, it has a weird design that makes it top heavy in landscape mode. The design favors portrait but at the same time destroys it in landscape. There are so many reasons to buy tablets from other manufacturers, with a normal design/thickness.

  • no you don't see individual pixels, of course movies would be better on full hd but it has a hdmi out so you can use a full hd tv for that..... in the next 3-4 years definitly tablets will replace laptops but for now are close to notebooks power... I use my tablet more often than my laptop but for some people is just not enough

  • sony has delayed its launch in india because of water resistant manufacturing defect.it should price it less than 25000rs to compensate for the loses.

  • hey thnx for rplying me ,just two more questions,hw gud is movie viewing experience on it??do u see any visible pixels on screen,i just wanna clear ths coz here in our country sony mobile products are not in display so we hav to import it,2nd are these tablets subsitude of laptops or nt??i hav to choose 1 frm these two

  • Screen flickering is a problem for all sony mobile products, as their ambient light sensor sometimes get confused and then try to adjust the brightness up and down in fast succession. This would be very easy for sony to fix by letting the user disable autobrightness, but they refuse to let us have that setting. Meanwhile, lots of people say they will not buy a sony phone because of the flickering, and sony is very persistent in their arrogance and dont want to admit that its a big problem.

  • I have no screen flicker (sorry my english) on last firmware and a full hd tablet is not a big deal because only 7% of android apps are optimised for full hd so for now hd rez is perfect

  • I have no screen flicker (sorry my english) on last firmware and a full hd tablet is not a big deal because only 7% of android apps are optimised for full hd so for now hd rez is perfect

  • hey ady i hav heard abt an issue relatd to ths (ref to cnet review) that its screen flicker is ths true?? Also tell me is ths worth buying keeping in mind that there are many other tablets in market having hd resolution.plz reply soon as i hav to buy one

  • can we connect xperia tablet s wirelessly to external speakers (via bluetooth) while watching movies plz reply ppl,

  • I own this tablet........ just great........ perfect

  • when will be launched in malaysia?...

  • Optimus G better.

  • You are wrong in everything. Optimus G is a quadcore Krait, and so on and on. Other readers, please disregard his post, its all wrong and stupidifying

  • Love

  • You forgot to mention that the Sony Xperia Tablet S has an 8 mega pixel rear camera as apposed to the 5 mega pixel on the Note. Also the Tablet S comes with an IR receiver to control tvs/avs/lighting/cable box/games consoles. And the tablet is IP4X rated to survive a splash from any direction. Also, if you've seen any benchmarks, for the Sony Xperia T which is a 1.5ghz DUAL core phone, this outperformed the LG optimus G which is a tegra 3 quad core phone.. It's not all about spec it is also about hardware and software compatibility and optimisations.

  • love the design of this , and another thing this tablet is able to use 128 gb sdxc cards that are formatted to fat 32 , same with any flash drive and hard drives up to 2 tb , i thought that was pretty impressive so i might buy this for the storage capacities

  • please provide us another good review, GSMArena... I'm gonna buy this thing, I need your review, your benchmarks and feedbacks.. Anyone here has any?

  • Does anyone know if its available in the Philippines? Where can i buy this beast and how much? thanks in advance

  • If your car charger has usb input then yes

  • Can this Xperia Tablet S be charged from a car with just the USB part of the cable?

  • please include the GSM quickly

  • Haha, yes it should include 3G or at least GPRS but it can be tethered to a GSM/3G smart phone. GPRS I believe is slow for todays web

  • Why doesnt include gsm.. Should gsm also because not everywhere got wi fi.. Pls upgrade it by using gsm also..

  • It should include gsm function also then that mak it perfect.. Just using wi fi.. Not everywhere got wifi.. When in bring to explore in jungle. Where should we get wi fi. From tree? Or vacation on boat at ocean should we get wi fi from fish?.. Upgrade it using gsm also..if nit it just a dump..

  • Only tablet that does not pause or stop youtube when changing tabs....all you have to do is open youtube in small app browser......;D

  • Hello everyone,there's no info here on the stand by time and belive it or not I checked the official website and it claimed only 12 hours.Has anyone had a trial.

  • yes this device is Super AWESOME +

  • Compared to Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, this is better gaming tablet(because Tegra 3 games available without any hack), far better build quality, far better device design, more unique UI. Then, let's see what Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has offered where Tablet S fail to keep up with the current droid tablet... - Stylus with 1,024 pressure sensitivity - 2GB RAM which will enable true multi-task(let split screen aside) - Phone call when your phone dried out or internet aren't available. If we dig more into it on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 side compared to Tablet S, we'll find 2 megapixels front camera over to 1 megapixel, more battery life 7000 mAh compared to 6000 mAh(not even mention that Tegra 3 is battery hunger proofed in many test in GSMArena), bluetooth 4 compared to 2 in Tablet S, support newly 64GB microSD instead of just 32GB SD. And last but not least, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is chipset will have better benchmark scores than current Tegra 3 and day, which can be convert to overall smoother experience. If at all we're talking about technology innovation found on these two products, I would say Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is the winner and the better. Sony's just think about how people use tablet in last year while Samsung think about new possibilities that can be achieve in tablet device.

  • No, I don't think so. It can't compete with Apple's tablet on some aspects(like screen clarity since this has last year's resolution) but on others could be better. Speaking about Samsung tabs there's no doubt this is better: better camera(8mp+1080p vs 3/5mp+720p), slightly better screen, better built and aluminium on half of the back vs all plastic and squeacks, 10 grames lighter than Galaxy tab, splashproof, extensible with full SD vs micro SD, plethora of premium accesories ...

  • hey.. you say you own a 3g version of this tablet, I cant find its availability on internet, which country are you from ? I am confused between this tablet and nexus 7, is this tablet worth its price ? Thanks

  • It is not true that this device doesn't have a GSM/UMTS module. I have a device which has a working module and a SIM card slot. Data is working, but no MMS. Are there two versions of this device?

  • i think this is just a tablet,, i m not sure this tablet can compete with apple ipad and galaxy tab series, but i am very like this tablet,, how about the price??

  • Guys Honestly Is This Tablet Better Than iPad Please Don't Say It's Better Just Because It's Sony Android Or It's Not Better Just Because Apple iPad Is Better

  • does anyone know when will Best Buy in New York City will start selling the XPERIA tablet S?? i check online and it only say coming soon... i cant even preorder. i went to 3 Best Buy store and they dont know anything about XPERIA tablet S, then they look at me like some mad man.

  • in october the 3g gsm version of the tablet will be released on the market. it ranges from gsm900 to gsm 1900, and umt 2100.

  • I will let you know if I have news just keep up soma

  • How much does this stuff cost in Dubai? Really need your feedback

  • With a thin bezel, where will you place your thumb when holding it? If it is going to be "almost" edge to edge touch screen, and your fingers are touching the screen, that will affect the tablet's operation.

  • Its got a bezel like a nascar ring around the outside of it. I want screen. not "place where scren should go"

  • hope it gets available here in the philippines before christmas

  • Hey, why not gsm!? Is it too much to ask??

  • 16gb WiFi £329 16gb WiFi 3g £429 32gb WiFi £ 379 Cheers

  • Needs a display with a higher resolution IMHO.

  • they have one 16GB wifi & 3G they might bring later LTE enable Xperia Tablet S but for now only 3G, I dont know why GSMarena they didnt include in the list

  • It will be around $650

  • Unnecisary expense

  • Which is September as they have stated as the probable release day, Give this man a medal

  • 1gb ram !! :(

  • I want this tablet and I want it RIGHT NAAAAAOWHH!!!!!!!!

  • Waterproof = submergable water resistant = splash proof

  • Do you have any idea how much the 16GB wifi/3G?

  • Wake up gsmarena! This tablet is available today 04/09/12 in the UK Sony online shoe (16gb WiFi, 16gbwifi&3g and 32gb)... Cheers

  • IP X 4 FYI Gtabs don't have this feature Splashing water Water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect. Test duration: 5 minutes Water volume: 10 litres per minute Pressure: 80�100 kPa

  • It means that you can put it under water (1m) for a specific amount of time. I think that in this particular case it is 10min but i am not sure. :)

  • What does it really mean "water proof"?

  • What does it realy mean "Water proof" ?

  • Come on sony add GSM UMTS and LTE(Voice&Data) to this nice tab and make it your flagship. Let samsung copy from you not from apple. We are looking for the best device from the best consumer electronic company....

  • this is not GSM device, only wifi

  • No NFC :(

  • I have a Sony S : it's an excellent tablet for a reasonable price. Nothing awful so far. All the manufacturers are doing the same.. What's so different from iPad 1 to the latest 3?? Better specs... Thats it... Do you want a triangular tablet??

  • So you can write some things real...

  • It will be 6 different Sony Xperia Tablets, three with only WiFi(16, 32 & 64 GB), and three with 3G&WiFi(16, 32 & 64 GB). I hope the Xperia Tablet S is near my experiences so far... and I hope it's better than the former Tablet S..

  • sony is the best technology in the world and she won the apple store but i want 10'inches

  • hate tegra3 will cause problem with battery !

  • a full review please :-)

  • love to see gsm device from sony in 10 inches sony is king in electronics

  • Does anyone get the feeling that this is exactly the same as the previous tablet s, only with refined chassis and better specs?? And with Sony ROMS and their awfull customer support....This will be another missed oppurtunity....I sold my Tablet S and changed for the Asus transformer tf300...Much better than this.... In the end it´s just another pretty unit out there.....

  • Sony rocks waiting for release in India hope the price should be less but Sony products are always costly:-(

  • same case with me!........sony is the best mobile company which gives higher pixel density(display),playstation certified phones,walkman music,etc but its still lagging behind samsung because of only some reasons like stupid people prefer a tablet sized phones,they want mobiles at cheaper prices,... but now i think sony will attract people as it launched the xperia t & v which has s4 krait processors which are better than quad-core of samsung s3...

  • 128GB SD card. =)

  • It's SD?! Not buying.

  • MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sony Xperia Tablet S, Quad Core 1.3 GHZ

  • U know, sometimes I wonder why sony doesn't wanna put an end to samsung chapter and hype for good. Sony clearly has what it takes (softwares, games, technically superior, quality, playstation certified, designs and infact everything) to land this uppercut on samsung but somehow they just wouldn't do it. Have a look at this tablet for a minute, with a pixel density of 200 and above this beauty will complete bury each and every galaxy pad ever made till date but why why why!! Men! This is frustrating for sony fan like me because I never dreamed of ever touching a samsung product and never will.

  • hey , this tablet comes with 1.4 ghz quad core not 1.3

  • I m gonna buy this awesome tab. Waiting for arival in India.

  • no front camera???

  • damn this thing is a beauty..rip galaxy tab! this fr better, excellent design,excellent screen and final the good processor... i will have to save alot for this..i hope it comes to the philippines before christmas... and oh sony has a 4k tv take that samsung!hahaha

  • Will Xperia Tablest S have a Sim card slot? It will be more efficient and helpful if sim card slot is inserted. And how range the price for this tablet? Will be USD 499 or USD 599?

  • yes retina display is good but it IS always hungry for power, lower resolution requires less power which will result in longer battery life 1280x800 is perfect for this device considering the battery

  • This tab is gonna be awesome 6000mAh battery wtf its a lot and the 1,3 quad core processoris gonna be very powerful and battery is enough for the quad core processor

  • I just hope it will come with bravia engine and with sim slot. I love sony. they are unique. :-D

  • what?! no bravia engine? tsk tsk i have set my heart on this

  • Is there going to be a 3g model? if there is, i think this tablet can really stand out in the tablet world, having the accessibility to control TV's, dvd players and so on with a built in application.

  • easily would have been a ipad 3 murderer, but alas just because of the screen resolution,it really isn't, no Bravia engine either(which is nothing but a image enhancing software),but still a shame. But a very good design indeed, Sony isn't a copycat like Samsung clearly n it has immense processing power all right.Way to go Sony, except for the screen resolution thinngi, i would have surely got one.

  • Since 10.1" is too big (my opinion, of course) and 8.9" tablets for some reason lack microSD slots, I think this would be a perfect-sized tablet for me, right after my 10.0" Motorola Xoom gets too old in about a year. 1920x1200 resolution would have been welcome on this tablet but I'm not a specs freak so 1280x800 is good enough for me.

  • sony the best desigener of fone and tablet

  • 1. You're comparing a phone with a tablet? Ha ha ha. 2. You're saying that a Crapple iPhone is better than an Android tablet that isn't the Crapmazon Kindle Fire? Ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! You're so funny you'd even make a statue roll on te floor laughing!

  • not full hd!?if tf700 would cost a bit less,..I think that if you already have a good dual core tab with ics 4.0.4, there is no need to change to this

  • as already said, hope you are 12y.o. for such a comment!

  • Nice observasion Ken, except this is a thread about a pad not a phone you genuis.

  • looks not bad, but 6000mah battery is a failure

  • Hey guys m thinking of buyin a sony tablet s 3G but seeing this xperia tablet comin out soon is gettin me confused, do I wait for the xperia tablet to come out, will dere be much diffence in d 2 tabs + no definite date of release yet....any advice pls

  • better than iphone 4s!!!!

  • Would have been better if it had the Sony mobile Bravia engine in it but the specs here are great enough already. :)

  • How can you compare a tablet with a mobile phone???

  • Not as good as the iPhone 4S

  • looks beatiful

  • too expensive!!! :(

  • this not upgrading much, only come with better material of magnesium aluminum, SONY need to upgrade the bluetooth to vers 4.0 2GB of RAM and make the battery bigger of at least 7000mAh

  • Well said comrade!

  • GSMarena! Latest devices not only lates fones!

  • I think it better than Samsung because it has Quad core Processor.

  • The Nvidia will lose on raw power against the Samsung Exynos(GPU). But on CPU the power are the same. But what I believe (like always) is that Sony has better software optimalization

  • Yes this is Better than the Samsung Tablets and iPad except for the Retina Display

  • no gsm support? it will be better if there's gsm support on this tablet..

  • no bravia engine???

  • In Some Specs .. Concerning the Display , the Ipad's is better . Ipad Has Retina Display , which is the best display ever .. The best camera is in the Sony Tablet ... The best software is also included in the Sony Tablet . the processor, Quad-Core 1.3 GHz , is one of the best processors ever :) Shortly, The sony Tablet is a smart choice :)
