| Bottom line | The Xperia
Tablet S has an excellent design, but there are cheaper alternatives that provide similar and better tablet experiences. | Info unavailable | With its excellent design, useful software features, and low starting price, the
Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience the best that the Android OS has to offer. | The
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a stunning tablet with a truly useful stylus, but it's not worth $400 unless you're an artist or prefer pen input. |
