Apparently the US Company HP does not seem interested in tackling -for the moment- the market for mobile telephony, but occasionally surprise us with product presentations as analyzed in this occasion. We talked about the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II, a new phablet (ie, a device for its screen size is halfway between a mobile and tablet) medium-high range comes with a metallic finish accompanied by features such as a quad-core processor, 1 gigabyte of RAM, the Android operating system in its version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat and a battery with 3000 mAh capacity. Although currently the price of this device is unknown, this time we will know more about it in the following analysis of the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II.
Display and Design
The HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II comes in a six-inch screen, which is a fairly large size compared to devices with screens of about five inches we’re used to seeing in the market. This large screen size is primarily geared toward users who need to use a mobile terminal to issues related to work or studies as a screen of this size used to display the content in a clear and convenient.
The screen resolution of the device reaches 1,280 x 720 pixels. The density of pixels on the screen is set at 245 ppi, while the maximum brightness reaches a negligible figure of 380 cd / m2 (although comparisons are odious, note that one of the mobile reference high-end, Samsung Galaxy S5 offers a screen brightness reaches 400 cd / m2).
The HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II incorporates a metallic finish, and silver casing makes this phablet look with a sleek design. In short, the design of the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II has little or nothing to envy to the higher-end devices.
The front of this terminal consists of two speakers, one located on the top and one on the bottom part, and three buttons on the Android operating system (Backspace, Home and Menu) coming directly integrated into the screen (so we talked about virtual buttons). The back has a much simpler aspect in which we find a large main chamber (accompanied by their respective Flash LED) and an HP logo.
The dimensions of this device reach 165.1 x 83.2 x 8.98 mm, while the weight (battery included) is around 160 grams.
Camera and Multimedia
The HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II is far from a use-oriented multimedia device, so that the two chambers which incorporate in its casing are very simple and offer a picture quality rather intended to occasional use. The main camera is capable of recording HD videos (720 pixel resolution) and its eight megapixel sensor should not have major problems to provide an interesting quality pictures. Additionally, this camera is accompanied by a small LED Flash, which means it can be used even for taking pictures at night.
The secondary camera located on the front of the device incorporates a much simpler two-megapixel sensor. Although, interestingly, it nevertheless also provide the ability to record videos with 720 pixel resolution .
Supported media formats with the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II are: MP3, WAV, FLAC, 3GP, MIDI. All these formats can be played with the multimedia player that brings serial installed this device, since all terminals incorporating the Android operating system also includes a factory installed application that lets you listen to music and play videos without major complications.
Power and memory
The HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II hides under the hood a Marvell processor (PXA1088 model) four cores running at a clock speed of 1.2 GHz. It is curious to see a Marvell processor dials on a mobile device of this kind, since most manufacturers tend to use Qualcomm processors or MediaTek. Still, we have to wait to try this product first person to determine if performance of this processor falls short of what is expected of a device of this kind.
The RAM memory (DDR2 SDRAM) accompanying this processor has a capacity of 1 GigaByte. The internal storage is 16 gigabytes, which are available to the user about 14 gigabytes. This capacity can be expanded via a microSD external memory card up to 32 gigabytes.
Operating System and Applications
The operating system installed as standard on the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II corresponds to Android in one of its more recent versions, Android 4.4.2 KitKat. At first sight it seems that HP has interfered greatly in the native interface of the operating system because the screenshots of this device show a very similar layer of customization to the devices incorporating the native version of the Android operating system (that is, a version without customization by manufacturers).
Being a device using the Android operating system, the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab incorporates corresponding serial applications installed in large part to my US company Google. Among these applications we find that the most common apps for Gmail, Google Maps, Google Chrome and YouTube, plus native Phone and Camera applications.
Connectivity and autonomy
The connectivity of the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II is divided into two sections: Section of wireless connectivity and physical connectivity section. On the part of wireless connectivity have the WiFi (802.11 b / g / n with technology Miracast), 3G, Bluetooth 3.0 and GPS (with A-GPS technology). On the part of the physical connectivity have a microUSB 2.0 (not compatible with the OTG) departure, 3.5 mm minijack output (for connecting headphones and speakers) and a Dual SIM slot (compatible with a microSIM card and a card MiniSim) plus the microSD slot.
The HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II has a Li-ion whose capacity reaches 3,000 mAh. According to official reports HP, time full load of this terminal is around three hours, while autonomy is distributed as follows: 13.5 hours of talk 2G, 3G 10.5 hours, 750 hours in idle conversation, nine hours of playback video and five hours of Internet surfing via WiFi.
Availability and reviews
It is expected that the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II begins to be available in stores later this year 2014. To determine whether this is not a recommended product first we must wait to meet your asking price, although at first glance the features offer a very interesting on paper look. We hope to know more about the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II in the coming weeks.
