What the hell has this to do with "tablet S General"?
It really has nothing to do with Sony but for the record, I'm not buying the Nexus 7 tablet, for a start I don't like the fact it has a phone user interface, yes, it's smart but it's Jelly Bean, any device with Jelly Bean would act in the same way - seeing as though Sony has confirmed Jelly Bean for this device than i'll wait thanks!

Well if none of the android tablets are any good then why are you getting another one ?
I am waiting until they release a Nexus10. I bought the original Galaxy Tab 7" thinking that I preferred the smaller tablet as I could grip it in one hand. Then I bought the Sony Tablet S and I love the larger screen.

I'm with Gramon on this one. As cheap as a Nexus 7 is, it's missing too many features for me, and that 7" form factor is just too small after upgrading my old GT-P1000 7" Galaxy Tab for the Sony's glorious 9.4". I would never go back.
For an added bonus, I don't know what problems you guys are having. I have the occasional WiFi disconnect (saves battery so I live with it), but everything else about mine is still great.

Totally agreed. I want a nexus7 just for the ease of carrying, nothing more. You cant do anything productive with a 7inch tablet. it really depends with what youre using the tablet for. For me, its reading magazines and comics, so 7inches is too small for a comfortable viewing (ive tried the galaxy tab7, not so nice) so 10 inches is the most appropriate, for me. It really depends on what youre mostly using it for. I agree with the wifi thing, it saves battery.
For the mean time ill be sticking to my tablet s till the xperia tablet is out, the folded magazine design still wins me over other tablets.

I swear I should just keep this on clipboard!
The Nexus 7 is cheap and relatively capable, but doesn't have have any of the bells and whistles, and most importantly is much smaller at 7". This will be particularly noticeable when reading and watching videos. It is however much more portable.
The Surface is currently unavailable so pricing is an unknown at this point. The Surface is much larger and is aimed at more of a laptop-replacement than most others. It runs Windows 8 which you will either like or absolutely detest. It will come in two variants: the more power-efficient, thinner and lighter but feature-limited ARM version and the larger x86 version with extra ports, processing power and the ability to run full Windows including legacy apps. The OS is its biggest feature and that's a personal choice.
The XPERIA tablet is designed as a replacement for the Tablet S and is slightly thinner and lighter, but with a more conventional form factor. Beyond that, who knows. It hasn't been announced yet (expect that at IFA), but it will probably be a Tegra 3-powered device similar to the S, but a bit more conventional. This is all complete hearsay, so do not put confidence in it.
My final message would be: don't decide now. Wait until after IFA and after more details about the new generation of tablets emerge. Then decide, but remember the golden rule:
There is no best tablet, only the best tablet for a specific purpose.

Also, this might just be me, but if you already have a Galaxy Note, a 7" Nexus 7 is probably not the right choice for you. There's only going to be 2 inches of difference between them. This is just my opinion, of course, but make sure you try out a Nexus before you go buying one.

Hi,
Today Xperia Tablet S starts selling in U.K., just want honest opinion from actual owners, is it worth buying?
Share your views and brief opinion about ur Xperia Tablet, m wondering if anyone purchased yet :silly:
Please rate using Voting button, thanks..
My other options are:
1. NEXUS 7 (cheap n best, but not yet available in SG)
2. Galaxy Note 10.1 (pricy n not as smooth as SGS3 or Nexus 7)
I actually just sold my Nexus 7, it wasn't what I was hoping for, smooth yes, but lacked functionality and was "too" Google for me.
The Xperia is launched tomorrow, not today - i've already got one reserved which i'll pic up tomorrow, but the store has said I can play with the demo model first

M also quite certain that I will buy XTS once its available in Singapore, just hope it gains popularity amongst devs !!
Nexus7 in malaysia is not so cheap. Could get the tablet s or acer iconia for that said price.
A friend of nine has the tablet s, and i really like it, so am really interested with the tablet s. Would probably buy it. But i atleast need root to install ubuntu.

Nexus7 is too small,16G is too small,samsung 10.1 is expensive, tablet s will upgrade to 4.1,so i will choice tablet s.
Agreed. As I've said before, anyone upgrading/downgrading from a Tablet S to a Nexus 7 (or vice versa) should be bloody sure they know what they're doing. The two devices are a whole different beast to use and live with. That 2.4-inch difference in screen sizes changes a lot. There's also the many differences in functionality and features that mean thy are each suited to a completely different user style. Each to their own, I guess, but I'm always surprised.

Totally agree with you. Ultimately, i think the buying decision should be what you're using your tablet for, hence for me, i chose the sony tablet s for its screen size (reading comics, magazines). Im not comfortable with 7inch form factor. Specs imo should come second. Real time user experience should always be first.
With that said, the new kindlefire HD's (7.0 & 8.9) is givin me the headache at the moment. Seems like a very decent offerings from amazon.

It certainly looks good aesthetically. From what i've heard, Sony seems to have addressed the problems with the previous tablet, (wifi, speakers, etc). The aluminium body and splash resistant is a plus definitely.
How much do you reckon the price is gonna in Singapore? Any idea?

Post a mini review!!! :victory: What was your previous tablet?
Hello Android forums,
I am looking for a tablet to replace my aging Prestigio tablet, and there are 2 options that I have narrowed it down to; they are the Nexus 10 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
I start Sixth Form in September and so the Note 10.1 would be useful for me to jot down quick notes and ideas, but is it worth paying £499 when the only benefit is the S-Pen. The price difference between the Note 10.1 and Nexus 10 is approximately £180 which means that I would buy a 16GB Nexus 7 with the money and take that to school with me. So is it worth paying £180 more for tainted Android but the S Pen or should I get a Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 with approximately £20 left over to purchase student stuff?
Many Thanks

If you're willing to spend that much money go for the Note, it's note-taking abilities are undefeated. It's so satisying to use.
Do not buy two devices, you'll regret it because it's overkill. I would suggest a Nexus 7 if you're going to take it with you to college. It's ultra portable and stock Android is faster and more fluid. There is quite the selection of note-taking apps, so check the Play Store for one that fits your needs and go for the Nexus 7. If not, go for the Note. They're both a good choice.

Hi Robin2,
Thanks for the reply!
That was my initial instinct, that note taking would be easier with the note because after using my friends Note 2 and S Pen, I loved it and loved how easy it is to use. My brother has a N7 and as far as I know, he loves it, but are you saying that there is no reason to get a Nexus 10? Because if I were to get an N10, I would not get a new laptop and just use a tablet for my web browsing needs and take the N7 to college with me.
Thanks

It's a great device really, but IMO it's just not worth getting both a Nexus 7 & 10. You will end up using one of them most of the time. The N7 is comfortable to use for a really long time, whereas the N10 gets quite heavy after using it for a while. So I can imagine you would want to pick up the N7 more often, because it's just so portable. But really, the screen and performance are great on the N10.. better than the N7. So if you're OK with having both, but not using one of them that often - go and get yourself a N7 and N10.

Ah, I thought there was some major technical oversight with the N10 that rendered it useless (apart from the screen that has such a high pixel density that it's almost impossible to hit a small button) I think that I would prefer Nexus devices because my last altercation with Android was ruined by 2 things - the lack of updates and the bloatware - not an issue with a nexus!
Yes software is often more important than hardware. I believe Android 5.0 is confirmed for the Note, but it could take a while for Samsung to actually release it.

But saying that, Jelly Bean 4.1 was confirmed for my Ace Plus, and we are still waiting. It was the lengthy wait and wondering if we were going to get updates teamed with the fact that we never did and also all of the bloatware that made me purchase a Nokia Lumia 800 because I knew I would prefer WP7.5 to Gingerbread instantly
I think I will go for the N7 and 10, and I am certain that when my contract expires in May, I will get whatever nexus phone is available, just to give droid another try and also to complete my nexus set
Thanks for your help, Robin2

Personnally I would not get 2 devices, one would just be lying around somewhere, collecting dust.

Hey Guys,
Just need a quick advice, if I should go ahead and buy this tablet.
There is 1 offer going on
http://www.shopvault.com/liveevents/tech
I will get this for $299-$25 (Credit)=$274
I know this is not best in the breed considering the tablet specs now a days.. but is it still worth a buy at $274 ?
Any kind of feedback, issues will be highly appreciated.

yes i also thought of the same..
plus i goggled & found some persistent issues which refuse to go even after updates..
-wifi disconnects during sleep (whatever settings u may select)
-takes a lot of time to wake up after sleep
-screen flickers..
-below average battery...
not user if the above issues still exist... somebody using the tablet may comment...
The N7 is.... 7".
This is 9.4". Big difference. The build is also excellent and the folded magazine style makes it great for portrait use. Tegra3 is aging but its fine for what I use it for (mostly web browsing and PDF reading).
At that price I'd say go for it - I did the same LOL but it was a few months ago. I have the wifi sleep issue which is annoying but not deal breaking - after all, it works when I'm actually using the tablet
I have an Xperia Z with 4.2.2 and I cannot tell the difference between JB and 4.1. From the leaks there's not a heap more coming in 4.3 either.
The only other 9.4-10" tablets you're going to get at that price are the cheap chinatabs which have far worse build and are heavier, basically SGS2 guts vs Tegra3 = draw I'd say.
I had problem as well choosing tablet 9-10 inch. Only Nexus 10 and xperia tablet s were worth to take. I bought XTS.
UPDATE 27/7
- avoid this Sony crap! take Nexus 10 - you won't regret
Is it still recommendable to buy a XTZ now given that the nexus 7 has already been released and the note 10.1 has been refreshed? I just sold my ipad 4 and was originally set on buying the nexus 7 but am hesistant because of all the build quality problems.
How is the AOSP program coming along? Are the CM builds usable? What sort of bugs are there?
Thank you

I literally Just bought an XTZ 32GB this week (Right after watching Samsung announce the the new Note 10.1), and in the two days I've had it I have ZERO regrets. This sucker is FAST, and the screen is gorgeous!
Haven't used the CM builds yet but I understand there are stable ones out.

I would buy another XTZ as opposed to the Nexus or Note tablets, there are too many issues with the Nexus tablets for me and the Note tablets have terrible dev support thanks to Samsung and their lies.
The XTZ is amazing, the AOSP builds have everything working except HDMI/HLL. That's not supported on any device with CM though as far as I know.

I would definitely buy the XTZ. That's a great tablet, especially for the form factor.
It's brillant to watch movies too. I recently did transatlanctic flights and was happy with the battery drain: only around 15% per movie.
The battery drain is much more important when playing "hard" such as Real Racing 3, and you feel the tablet heat! But I guess this would be the same with all other tabs.
I consider buying it also but:
What about that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419767

IFA is over and you know whats coming this year.
I am using cm10.2. Next step will be a multiboot solution with Ubuntu Touch.
Don`t forget do buy a dock. This is very important->no more opening of the ports (this can really suck)
Color adjustments (white is not Paperwhite) problems at low brightness, bleeding and this torsion problem exist. @cm10.2 i never noticed the torsion problem and the bleeding is minimal.
CM is usable, but i think(know) the SonyUI and 4.2 are a great deal, too.
i would recommend it thou the home screen is still laggy with the 4.2 update
nova etc solve it but cant understand why sony could not fix it
one ques for fellow xtz owners - does appgratis load and open properly on ur xtz ?
Just arrived today ....
I just opened the box a couple hours ago. Fired it up and the battery was at 60%.
Can't put it down.
I was using an HP Touchpad with CM9. Big difference!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tablet!
Tablet is still awesome. I just wish I had a case that was as nice to use as the Poetic Slimline but without the weight... So far none of the other cases are as nice.
Iv used mine for some time now, its a great tablet however I think something like the nexus 7, or Z ultra is more comfortable for me, Im trying to sell mine but here in India i dont know anyone who wants to buy it.

It's still the best case i've seen by far. Just that it basically weighs as much as the tablet.
FYI
If you are using a case without magnetic lock. you can insert a small magnet inside your case cover. magnetic sensor is located at the left side of the front camera( screen facing you ).
screen will automatically turned off when the cover is closed and it will turned on when you open it.

Poetic slimline from Amazon
I ordered the Poetic slimline from Amazon and I can confirm there is access to the charging port and the weight factor is no big deal.
Excellent case.

Glad to see so many like this tablet, I'm giving serious thought to buying one. I sold my Asus transformer tf300t, my last 2 android phones have been Samsung, my wife has a nexus 7 and I've never owned a Sony android device. The xperia z is probably the best looking tablet I've ever seen and the video reviews I have watched of it just make me want it more.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Okay.
If you want a 10.1" tablet I'll still recommend the Tablet Z.
If you're happy with a 7" Tablet go for the new Nexus 7.
Both tablets have the same processor, so you won't really notice a difference in performance.
As for the fact that the Nexus 7 runs stock Android without bloatware, it runs slightly faster than the XTZ, but not that much.

So there was no successor presented at IFA, which makes me wonder why?
The Xperia Z was announced in January and released in February, now we already have the Z1.
The Xperia Tablet Z was announced in February and released in May, and although it's still a good device, it would have needed the some overhaul (things like IP58 instead of IP57, additional GSM voice communication, 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 800 + Adreno 330, better camera).
I am especially curious because the Xperia Tablet Z is already on the remaining stock list at our mobile network operator and pretty much sold out.
I've never had a tablet before, but I'll get two for free when I renew two data plans at the beginning of next year, so I have some more time to wait and see, but if nothing was announced at IFA, when is the next possibility for a successor to the XTZ?
Hi there, I'm thinking of buying the Tablet Z but wonder if its worth waiting for the refresh/successor ?
The only bit of information i can find is this:

I asked Sony and was told they have no information...
You do realize that IFA already happened right?

Doesn't mean any more devices can't be announced.
@Zaim2012 , rumours says of a Xperia Z1 Tablet, which will be more like a refresh rather than a new device.
S800 and Triluminous screen, basically. Rest will be the same..

Thanks, I guess I'll have a think, I just hope it's not £500 on release.

Rumors says same price as XTZ now. And XTZ will drop the price. Bad luck for me as I'm getting it in 20 days or so...

According to Wikipedia the xperia z was launched 1st of March (UK) - but hey, I guess that's close enough to May
Anyway, I like what they've done with the Z1. They'll probably do the same with the Tablet Z, I guess.
I was just thinking about the same matter in the other thread in the General section.
My guess is Sony already has it, but didn't show at IFA because they didn't get the software ready in time (considering that they rushed to be able to present the XZ1 with a pre-release software).
The XTZ is already on the remaining stock list at our mobile phone operator, and pretty much sold out, so they will be waiting for the XTZ1 as well. Hopefully it will have GSM voice communication in addition to IP58, Snapdragon 800 + Adreno 330, 3GB RAM and a better camera.
But well, I have time, I'll get my first two tablets (for free) not before the beginning of next year, when my two data plans are due for renewal.
Well the Experia tablet z kitchen edition is now released, is that the successor Lol

No, that is just a Xperia Tablet Z like everyone else has, but with some kitchen accessories and maybe few apps...

Lol Kitchen edition.
I'm still unsure as to what I should do, go ahead and buy the tablet z or wait for the new one, no info on release date,price and official specs.
Can get the Tablet Z for £350.
There hasn't even been rumours of a successor has there? General wisdom is if you are always waiting for the next one to come out you're never going to have anything
Sony updates their tablets yearly, not like their phones (which are updated like every 6 months), so there wont be a new tablet til may I think (though it was announced first in japan).
I bought one a month ago and its actually pretty god for what I use it to (casual gaming, browsing, reading books, social, etc) and its the best tablet I've come up to light, thin and really really beautiful..

If you want a damned good tablet then I would go with the XTZ, especially since there aren't even any credible or half decent rumors floating around on an updated XTZ.
If it were me I wouldn't wait another 6 months to get the updated version, one reason being that even if they do update all the components you most likely won't be able to tell. The XTZ is fast as hell, the screen is FHD (even if they updated with a screen like is in the new Nexus tabs you wouldn't be able to tell the graphics were any better), everything I have thrown at it (including Arena and the extra large Daggerfall install running in Dosbox Turbo, both of the GTA games on the market, and a ****load of other resource intensive games) haven't slowed it down or caused any lag whatsoever. If you really have to have the newest processor then wait til Samsung releases their new tabs or wait on the new rumored Transformer pad to drop, just know you could be waiting 6 months or more for those to drop too.
I always craved the latest and best hardware but with the XTZ I don't have that issue anymore, it is able to withstand anything I can throw at it and then some. To me it isn't worth waiting on the next "X" tab to drop, the XTZ is and will be able to stand toe to toe with a lot of the newly released and upcoming tabs.

New tablet is slated for spring of 2014 to replace the current XTZ. That was all the info I have gotten from my contact. No specs as of yet though I would expect at least a snapdragon 800. As it stands I'm still very happy I got my XTZ. Great tablet. If I hear more on the new one I will let you all know.

Thanks for the replies, I've gone ahead and ordered the Tablet Z
@Spectre51 Cheers, Spring 2014 is still about 6 months away so its pointless waiting.
