Late last week, Sony Philippines sent us their latest Android tablet — the Xperia Tablet S. I promptly asked for the suggested retail price and local availability.
The Xperia Tablet S is the 2nd generation Android tablet from Sony. It sports the same deign but much thinner and lighter.

1MP front-facing camera

Suggested retail price for the 16GB model is Php23,999USD 409INR 34,669EUR 390CNY 2,978 while the 32GB model is Php28,999USD 494INR 41,892EUR 471CNY 3,599. As for availability, it was supposed to be back in last week of December but was delayed. New dates have been set but not yet finalized. Will post our unboxing photos tomorrow and share some first impressions.

sa tablet market, its ipad vs all of them.
so i think they should definitely make the price cheaper. why buy that one if makaka bili nako nyan ng ipad 4?
just my thoughts po Sony. :D
Smokescreen says:
For the price, at least it should have a 2GB RAM.
Apollo says:
A bit overpriced, I think? It should have NFC and a higher RAM.
Frazen says:
Isn’t too late for sony to release that?
Simplynice says:
Sony is cheating its customers when they release a new phone with old android version. Even if specs-wise, their gadget is already compatible with newest android release.
roiji says:
i’ll hold out on buying this until maging available (or free sana) yung capacitive keyboard cover thing…
it’s available now in Sony Center at the New Glorietta.
mhariz says:

von says:

Tama! last December, naghahanap ako ng Xperia TX sa mga mall(although meron sa online stores, pero mas gusto ko sa local market), January 2013 pa raw lalabas. Eto, February na, wala pa. So ‘yung Z at ZL, mid-2013 pa nila ilalabas at high price?

I saw this one personally at Sony Store SM Cebu.. it’s really great and feel elegant because of half glass at the back.. but the problem is only 1 GB RAM which is suppose to be this model only for last year.. so Kung sumabay ito sa iPad 3 at Samsung Tab. cgro ito ang mas mabenta.. too bad too late nila ni release d2 sa Pinas obsolete na tuloy. better luck next time Sony…!
SonyBOBO says:
gago talaga ang Sony Ph. Sino bibili nyan? Buy na lang ako ng 2 Nexus7 o kaya Nexus10 my sukli pa
Apollo says:
Search nyo guys ibang unbranded tablet with same specs pero half the price. Ramos w30/hd, novo hero 2.
bingo says:
eh, tingnan mo yung specs ng camera nya?
Donx2 says:
Hintayin nyo na lang guys yung xperia tablet Z, Mas ok ang specs and mas manipis pa.
Justin says:
P29k for an ICS tablet? No LTE? 3G? NFC? Nice! :)
ivan says:
Tried a demo unit of this tablet in a Sony store. The screen resolution is terrible. At that price, one can buy an iPad with retina display.
Sony products are just to overpriced. As usual.
