EH: We really enjoyed our time with the Xperia S and will miss it when it goes back, and that’s not something we say often. One of the things that bother us about this phone is that Sony had come really close to making the best Android smartphone on the market, but squandered the opportunity by making some novice mistakes. The phone should have had Ice Cream Sandwich at launch, the display should have been of better quality for a flagship device and the capacitive keys below the display should not have been so frustrating to use. These three things are the ones that stick out when we look back at our experience with the handset. Had Sony taken care about these we would have readily ignored all the other issues, which are pretty minor, to be honest.
Techradar-"This is the second time out the gate for the Sony Xperia Tablet S. It originally launched in September, but was quickly pulled from the shelves thanks to a manufacturing fault. That's unfortunate for Sony, because in the interim the Google Nexus 10, Amazon Kindle Fire HD, iPad 4 and iPad mini have all hit the market."
Mobile & Apps: "At IFA conference, Wednesday, Sony took the lid off its newest Android tablet, the Sony Xperia Tablet S. The device, when compared to previous Android based tablets from Sony, is thinner and sexier and quite the powerhouse. The tablet sports a Quad Core Tegra 3 chip, 10-inch display, Android 4.0, up to 64GB of storage along with a microSD card slot for additional storage for those people who can fill up a 64GB drive in a matter of minutes."
Androidome - We saw the beautiful Sony Xperia S first at the CES 2012 in January where this ‘Sony- only branded’ smartphone was launched by the company. On its launch, the Xperia S was applauded for its exquisite design, performance and camera but also received a lot of criticism for its battery and non-updated software.
