"Foldable" Sony Tablet P featured two screens that could be used as one large display
With Samsung expected to deliver prototypes for its "luxurious" Samsung X foldable phone by the third quarter of this year, we thought that now would be a good time to dust the cobwebs off of your memory by taking a look at 2011's "foldable" Sony Tablet P. With its clamshell design, the real prize was inside where two individual 5.5-inch screens (each with a resolution of 1024 x 480) ran independently, or were used together to form one giant screen.
When pieced together, the Sony Tablet P faced a problem. An ugly 1/4-inch bezel separated the two screens. That wasn't a problem when the screens ran independently, but was certainly an eye-sore when using the two screens as one large display.
We can bring a flood of memories running through your brain with just one word. Honeycomb. Android 3.0 Honeycomb was designed for tablets and debuted in February 2011. The Sony Tablet P had Android 3.2 Honeycomb pre-installed, and was upgraded once to Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich. And we should remind you that the Tablet P was a Playstation certified device.
The Sony Tablet P was powered by a NVIDIA Tegra 2 chip with a dual-core 1GHz CPU. 1GB of RAM was inside along with 4GB of native storage. A 32GB capacity microSD slot was on board, and a 3080mAh battery kept the lights on. The tablet featured a 5MP rear shooter with a VGA camera in front. An AT&T exclusive in the U.S., the Tablet P was priced at $399 with a two-year contract, and $549 off-contract.
On a scale of 1-10, we gave the Sony Tablet P a "6" in our review, which you can read by clicking on this link.
