Here they are, Sony’s S1 and S2 tablets are not official, behold the Sony Tablet S or SGPT113JP/S and Sony Tablet P or SGPT211JP/S.
Sony Tablet S Series.
Introduced yesterday in Germany, the S Series tablet from Sony in Japan will come however in two different flavors with a WiFi only version featuring Android 3.1 and a 3G (Docomo) + WiFi version that will runs Android 3.2!
The S Tablet comes with a 9.4” WXGA (1280×800) screen, available in 16 or 32GB of memory for the WiFi model only while the 3G+Wifi will features only 16GB of memory. Other specification includes SD Card, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, a 0.3 Mpix front facing camera and a 5.11 Mpix rear facing camera with an Exmor for Mobile CMOS Sensor.
Battery wise, Sony announced 430h of battery standby, 31h while playing Music only, 6h of battery while watching video and 6.2h worth of web surfing for the WiFi only version and 4.5h of Web surfing in 3G.
Finally, the S Series comes with a size of 598g in its WiFi version and 625g in its 3G+WiFi version.
Sony Tablet P Series.
The P series comes with its unique dual screen and clamshell design and will be sold in Japan only in 3G+WiFi and with just 4GB of internal memory.
The Sony Tablet P comes with the same Nvidia Tegra CPU, Android 3.2, and a pair of 5.5” VGA (1024×480) screen, as well as the same pair of Camera than the P Series, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR…
Battery wise, Sony announced 120h of battery in standby, 16.8h for music playback, 6.5h for video playback, 6.1h of WiFi web surfing and only 4.6h of 3G web surfing.
The Tablet P Series comes with a size of 180x14x158mm open and 180x26x79mm once closed for a total weight of 372g.
Now, after having a bit of time playing with both models, I have to admit that when it comes to design and quality material Sony did not make any compromises. Both slates are elegant, light but does not respond as fast I was expecting them to… They are not slow, but I was expecting Sony to make a quick ass speedy tablet that will show how much they are willing to kick ass.
The other reproach that I will have to make is how “bad” the screen of both tablets are outdoor making it difficult for anyone to enjoy them under the sunlight. I strongly advise anyone who’s interesting in buying one to quickly invest in one of these mate screen protector or be ready to be the proud owner of a very expensive portable mirror.
