The Sony Xperia Tablet first appeared late last month thanks to images leaked from a slideshow app, and now a new set of images have revealed it in much more detail. As the previous pics revealed, Sony’s whittled down the tablet’s wedge and narrowed it to about half the thickness of the Tablet S. The bottom edge has been shaved, too, though only by a couple millimeters.


Like the Tablet S, the Xperia tablet’s buttons are located within the fold, keeping them tucked out out of the way while you hold it and preventing accidental button presses. The fold is also clad in textured plastic, which should make it slightly more grippy than the tablet’s smooth, aluminum back plate.

You can make out both the 8MP rear and 1MP front-facing cameras in these images, as well as the Walkman app on the lone shot that shows the Xperia Tablet from the front. It also appears that Ice Cream Sandwich will be installed by default, though it’s quite possible that Sony will bump that to Jelly Bean prior to shipping — or at least offer an OTA update to users soon after.

No additional specs have trickled out, though we already knew that a Tegra 3 processor would be on board and that 16GB and 32GB models would be available. Additional details could be revealed by Sony as soon as the end of this month, as the company is expected to official announce the Xperia Tablet at IFA 2012 in Berlin.
