Hewlett-Packard, one of the leading PC manufacturers
had a shy at the smartphone market and met with little
success. The company had backed out a couple of years
back and now are reportedly re-entering the
smartphone/tablet market. HP will reportedly announce
two new devices – HP Slate 6 and HP Slate 7 phablet
and tablet respectively in India later this year. HP is
expected to make an official announcement very soon.
The HP Slate 6 is a 6inch phablet with a HD IPS display
sporting a 1280×720 pixels resolution. The HP Slate 7
will be a 7inch tablet with a HD 1280×800 pixel
resolution 7inch IPS display.
Both the devices will be powered by a quad-core
processor(can be MediaTek, Qualcomm, NVidia or Intel).
There will 16GB of internal storage and a microSD card
slot for expansion of internal storage. There will be a
2MP front facing camera and a 5MP rear camera. The
devices will run on Android 4.2 Jellybean at launch.
Among the other features, HP is hoping that the devices’
thickness(or rather the lack of it) will appeal to the
users. In addition to these features, the devices will also
come with front facing stereo speakers.
HP is hoping on getting a share in the phablet market
that is currently dominated by the likes of Indian
manufacturers like Micromax, Karbonn and others. There
is no information on the pricing yet.
