Out of the two tablets Sony has recently launched – the Sony Tablet S1 and the Sony Tablet S2 – the S1 is the more conservative. There's no double screen
No clamshell design
Just a regular single display. At 9.4 inches
It's a slightly unusual size
Proving notably smaller than the 9.7-inch Apple iPad 2. The screen may be smaller
But it's also very sharp
With a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels

The editors didn't like
Poor web browsing
DLNA and infrared remote features are hard to use
Poor cameras
Consistent Wi-Fi problems
Hobbled Reader app
Moronic SD card issues
Underpowered in the face of quadcore competition
Screen could be brighter
Not the latest version of Android
Lack of Apps
Media problems
Not as slick as iPad 2
Unfortunately
The Sony Tablet S1 doesn't offer the build quality we were hoping for. It's an entirely plastic affair
And feels a lot cheaper in the hands than an Apple iPad 2. It also feels cheaper than other tablets
Such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Screen is good but can't quite match the best tablets out there
PS1 games are just plain ugly
Plastic finish / 1080p playback glitches
Speakers aren't positioned very well
No USB charging connector / No HDMI interface
Sony content still finding its feet
AV performance doesn't match the best
Disappointing speakers and apps
Unimpressive snapper
Smaller display
Touchscreen sluggish at times
Sony's entertainment services are baffling and over-expensive
Coollooking design
But not the most practical for handling
Proprietary connector
Video Unlimited
Little choice and not much HD
Sony may have gone overboard on the exclusive apps
12
Bad camera sensor
Not Full HD
Sounds a touch soft
Clunky web browsing
Full HD would be nice
Not the most powerful tablet out there
Build materials lack flair considering the asking price and the choice of a 9.4in screen and tinny speakers undermine its media credibility.

Inbyggd fjärrkontroll, Apparna, Ergonomisk, Bra kamera
Tjock, Plastig
Även om plattan känns förvånansvärt plastig så gör kilformen att den är riktigt praktisk både att hålla i och att skriva på. Den mäter sig väl med konkurrenterna både till specifikationer och prestanda samt har några unika anslutningar och finesser. Förut...
Abstract: Redan i våras när Sony började förhandshajpa sina två surfplattor stod det klart att de skulle vara annorlunda mot dussinplattorna. Även om just Tablet S såg ut att vara den mer normala av de två gjorde formfaktorn att den stack ut. Och det märks att S...
Abstract: Arvostelimme viime vuonna Sonyn Tablet S:n, mutta tämä kummallisesti muotoiltu tabletti jätti kuitenkin hieman toivomisen varaa. Otammekin tällä kertaa selvää onko tämän seuraaja, Xperia Tablet S, korjannut pahimmat puutteet. Kyllä luit oikein, ainoa ero...
Solid og praktisk design (for de som blir vant med det), bra skjerm, rask, god batteritid (Wifiutgaven), spiller alt av video, kan brukes som fjernkontroll på de fleste apparater med IR
Prisen, skjermen faller igjennom sammenliknet med de beste nettbrettene, Google Play fortsatt ikke bra nok for nettbrett, dum connectorhette
Du vet alle filmene du har vært på i ditt liv, og hvor du har tenkt mens rulleteksten går at "jaja, det var jo en helt grei film". Dette er et slikt nettbrett. Det er helt greit. Det er veldig få ting som gir oss hakeslipp, og det er veldig få ting som ir...

Sprutsikkert, Kvalitetsfølelsen, Tilbehør og finesser
Prisen, Kameraet
Sonys andre versjon av Tablet S er bedre på alle måter. Det beholder tanken med ett håndgrep, men er tynnere, penere og føles betydelig mer som et nettbrett av høy klasse. En mengde funksjoner og finesser gjør at det skiller seg ut fra mengden og spruts...
I testperioden har vi vippet mellom å synes Sony Xperia Tablet S er veldig bra til at vi har vært litt irritert på småtingene vi har kommentert. Samtidig har vi vippet mellom karakteren 4 og 5. Sony Xperia Tablet S yter bra i alle våre tester og henger...
Selv om brettet føles bemerkelsesverdig plastaktig gjør imidlertid kileformen at det er riktig praktisk både å holde i og skrive på. Det står seg godt opp mot konkurrentene både med hensyn til spesifikasjoner og prestasjoner, samtidig som det også har...
Abstract: Sony hevder i sin markedsføring at Tablet S har i seg alt det bra som merket har laget gjennom årene. Vi er ikke enige. Vi mener at Sony kan mye bedre enn dette her. Tablet S skiller seg ut i forhold til konkurrentene. Utformingen er annerledes, og den...
