Mockup Xperia Tablet X

Designer: Frank Tobias

IFA 2012 held in Berlin was a disappointment for Sony fans. The Xperia Tablet S followed the same ergonomics of mundane Tablet S. However, Frank Tobias decided to add some spark to those disappointed hearts and came up with a whole new concept design of Xperia Tablet X.

Bit of Xperia S design has been retained once again but this time there are two transparent rings on two sides instead of just one. This new concept tablet comes with a landscape orientation evident from the logo placement. There are grills beside the transparent rings, which may be for the speakers. However, if that is placement of the speakers, a part of the speakers will be covered with hands when the tablet is held.

A small circular unit can be seen close to the top edge of the tablet. It may be a video call camera or an earpiece. If it turns out to be an earpiece, the only thing that can be said is that Tobias made a big mistake in an attempt to bless this tablet with phone capabilities. An earpiece at that position for a landscape style tablet is an utter nonsense. Not many images were sent by Frank and no technical details were provided either and hence, we will make some assumptions.

Conclusion

Frank did make and attempt to liven up the Xperia Tablet with this new concept but there may be some serious flaws to this design. We will have to wait until he sends a few more images and some technical specs.
