The designer
Victor Cao
has been featured a bunch of times on our website, each time delivering
a brand new Sony Ericsson Walkman or maybe a full fledged Xperia phone
and even a Windows Phone model called Xperia Leon. Each time he sends us
a teaser before the concept, like the new one below, that leaves us to
explore the mystery. So, which one is it: a tablet or a phone?
Having played with the Sony Xperia Tablet S myself these days I must
say that I’m very, very disappointed. Sony did a lousy job with the
product, keeping that poor 2011 design of the Tablet S and only adding
the Tegra 3 CPU and a totally useless 8 megapixel camera WITHOUT flash. I
mean, really Sony? Is that the best you’ve got? I’m posting below a
picture I took today using the Sony Xperia Tablet S and that speaks for
itself. To that we add a totally non bright display, a big amount of
services and apps that won’t actually work in all countries. And to top
everything off, the Sony Xperia Tablet S has WiFi problems, that needed
an update from Sony itself… it simply didn’t want to connect to the WiFi
networks.
Also, while they promise a HDMI port, they only offer that sad excuse
of a proprietary port that needs a dongle for HDMI… The price of the
Xperia Tablet S may be $399 for the 16 GB WiFi version, but for that
cash you can buy two Nexus 7 units and you’ll be much more content with
those ones. Seriously, Sony get your act together! Maybe Victor Cao’s
concept will give us a glimpse of hope!
