Verdict

The Sony Xperia Tablet S (WiFi, 32GB) is a second-generation Android tablet featuring a distinctive 9.4-inch splash-proof IPS display with a 1280 x 800 resolution and a unique ergonomic wedge-shaped design. It is powered by a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor clocked at 1.4GHz, paired with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage that is expandable via a full-sized SD card slot. Key pros include its comfortable, lightweight aluminium-and-plastic build, a built-in IR blaster for universal remote functionality, and useful software features like Guest Mode and floating 'small apps.' However, notable cons include a screen resolution that lags behind contemporary competitors, a bulky proprietary charging connector, and reports of slow performance when multitasking or waking from sleep.
