"Japanese style" tablet struck

Although the Apple iPad has been regarded as the tablet's "benchmark", but there has been no lack of "challenges", after the Samsung GALAXY Tab, Motorola XOOM, Asus EeePad, HP Touchpad, etc., this time the challenge is the same Industrial design famous Japanese brand Sony.

Whether in the industry or digital enthusiasts, many people have always had such questions. When will Sony launch tablets and compete directly with Apple in the high-end market? Last week, the Japanese manufacturer, who also took the "high-end fashion" route, finally launched the Tablet PC S in the domestic market. Similarly, the Japanese tablet uses the android system and the hardware is the Terga 2 platform. However, from the point of view of parameters, it seems that there is not much difference with other brands of Terga platform tablets, but from the design, screen, and camera, and even pricing are Has a strong "Japanese" style.

The plastic feel is different from that of a normal tablet computer. The appearance of this Tablet S is more like a book opened and displayed. Manufacturers introduce this tablet design, call it "drop-shaped" design. When it is on the table, it is not "flat" like a normal tablet, but is slightly tilted to facilitate the perspective of the human eye when typing on the table. At the same time, the weight of this tablet is only about 598 grams (WIFI version), while the iPad 2 weighs 601 grams (WIFI).

While holding the tablet, the hand feels quite good, is lighter than the iPad 2, and it is not easy to get tired while holding it for a long time, and the center of gravity is relatively stable. However, the overall "plastic feeling" is stronger because the iPad 2 is a metal. The fuselage, in contrast, the latter will be more upscale. However, because the Tablet S's 9.4-inch screen uses Sony TruBlack's pure black technology with a resolution of 1280x800, and this Japanese company has always been an industry leader in screen technology, so it has excellent screen imaging and Colors make this tablet extra points.

In addition, because Sony owns imaging technology, it is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera on the tablet, and uses its own latest Exmor for moblie backlight technology. However, it is a pity that this tablet does not have a front camera. In fact, before this discussion, in the end whether the Tablet PC needs a front camera? The answer is that each has its own statement, and some people say that the iPad 2's front camera has a few pixels, and it feels a little tasteless. However, some people think that the front camera is necessary for mobile terminals such as a tablet. On the one hand, it facilitates video calls. On the other hand, young people like to take selfies. With the front camera, it is much easier.

The use of wireless links to string together home appliances Tablet S equipped with the latest version of the Android 3.2 operating system, and pre-installed microblogging, news, QQ HD, video, maps and other currently hot on the market. However, this is similar to most tablets in the Android camp, so when it comes to manipulation, reporters experience it and the selling point is not obvious.

In order to highlight its own technology, the Japanese company launched the DLNA interconnection of tablet PCs and personal computers and flat-panel TVs as a major selling point. As long as players slide with their fingers on a tablet computer, they can wirelessly transfer pictures or video files to their corresponding home appliances and computers. This feature still sounds "cool". In fact, this concept is similar to Apple's iPad + Mac + iPhone, but Apple currently does not fully implement free wireless connection. At the same time, users can use this tablet to remotely control all appliances in the home, and the setup method is not complicated, similar to the smart remote control on the market, so that you can throw away the messy remote control at home. These functions can also be said to be a major challenge for Japanese companies to install tables on Apple and other brands.

It is worth mentioning that since Sony itself is also a game manufacturer, there is PlayStation certification in this tablet, you can download to play PS and PSP games, you can simulate the PS gamepad keys, which is very cool for gamers Things. The feeling of this flat-panel game experience is that the screen is gorgeous and the operation is smooth and feels good, but of course it will be a little tired for a long time. It is reported that the price of this Japanese flat panel is similar to that of Apple iPad, and there is only a Wifi version in the Chinese market.

From the configuration point of view, Sony's first Tablet S does not have a particularly prominent part, but it brings together the excellent features of a large number of Sony's other product lines, both from the Exmor sensor camera from Sony's digital imaging department, but also from the digital photo frame department Black display panel.

Tablet S has two stereo speakers on each side of the fuselage. This design is more appealing than the single speaker hole design of the Apple iPad. On one side of the fuselage is the switch key and volume control button, but after opening a cover on the other side we see the HDMI output and an SD card slot. I am surprised that if you have an SD card slot, what's the difference between dividing 16GB and 32GB? It turns out that manufacturers do not leave such a loophole. This SD card slot is said to not directly read and write memory data, but can only be used to install the APP. The contents of the audio and video on the SD card can not be directly read but must be COPY to the body memory space to be used.

In terms of software, several common APPs and games were simply tried and the running speed was very smooth. I also tried to open a web page for browsing, but it may be that the speed of the wireless network is not very good. What Sony says by relying on adjusting webpages to load JavaScript to achieve "quickview" webpage display technology does not seem to bring any obvious feelings. Like Samsung, Sony also has some of its own UI modifications for the Tablet S system. For example, it is easy to add a program to the main page or delete it directly on the program management page. The APP icons may also be arranged according to the program name AZ order or the order of installation.

Sony claims that Tablet S uses TruBlack's pure black technology with a 9.4-inch 1280 x 800 resolution display. Put your Samsung 7-inch GALAXY TAB on Sony's side, you can really feel that the Sony tablet has a lot of effects in terms of color, especially black. Tablet S screen display is very beautiful, rich color layers, black calm.

It is understood that the Mainland-listed Tablet S does not have a GPS module, and video playback and continuous use can take more than 8 hours, which is fairly acceptable. Overall, the Sony’s first tablet product, despite not having much of a shock, has its screen, camera, built-in features, and features built on Sony’s ultra-long product line. Still left a good impression.
