Sony Xperia Tablet S pulled from sale due to water resistance issue

Blair McClelland October 8, 2012 Android, Mobile, Tablet PC

Over the weekend, Sony has decided to pull its latest Android tablet, the Xperia Tablet S from sale in Japan and elsewhere. Originally launched last month with claims of splash-proof operation a manufacturing defect has been found where there is a gap between the display and the body.

It is unknown if the issue affects only a percentage of tablets or most of them. Regardless, existing owners of the Xperia Tablet S are granted free inspections and repairs, if necessary. For now, Sony is advises owners not to test the device's splash proof claims for themselves.

KitGuru says: In a competitive Android tablet market this is bound to not make Sony very happy.
