The Sony Tablet P (former code name Sony S2) is a tablet computer that was manufactured by Sony as part of the Sony Tablet series.[1][2][3]

Description

It was released as the Android version of the Sony Vaio P who also had a wide screen.[4]

It has two 5.5-inch (140 mm) touchscreen interoperating displays joined in a hinged clamshell layout, resembling the VAIO P series.[5] It was released in November 2011, as the second available member of the Sony Tablet series. The suggested retail price is $599.

While the unique clamshell design allowed the device to fold in half and fit into a pocket, this feature resulted in the screen being split in half by a large, black hinge, which made playing games and reading awkward and is cited as the Tablet P's most serious flaw. The Tablet P was discontinued from Sony's American website by the end of 2012 and will not receive the update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean[6]

It has received an upgrade to Android 4.0.4.[7]

Indian Express listed the tablet in a history article about weird Sony products.[8]
