Most people like their devices slimmer and lighter although the Tablet S features a unique sweeping design that makes the tablet look as if it's a single, folded piece of plastic and gives the device a neat wedge shape, but it is heavy at 625g and is thick to hold compare to Samsung Note although the Note is smaller which is a bit difficult to use therefore Sony Tablet S wins.

TheGalaxy Note runs on version 2.3 (Gingerbread), and the OS is just as fast and pleasing to use as it is in every other Samsung smartphone, right up to the included TouchWiz 4.0 UI overlay. Both devices benefit from the thousands of apps, games and customisations on offer in the Android Market, as well as packing in all of the solid security and stability features that has made the platform popular, too.
