Washington: As smartphone market is on its peck, HP step up to try its luck on the hot smartphone market with its upcoming Android smartphone.
According to reports, the device will be called ‘HP Slate 6 Voice Tab. Based on the name it looks like HP might be planning to market it more as a tablet than a phone, but at six inches and with voice support it sounds a lot like a phablet to us.
The specs doesn’t look interesting for a debut device, as it has a 1 GHz quad-core Marvell processor and a 720p display. It’s also running Android 4.2, which is now two generations behind.
Alongside the Slate 6 Voice Tab, benchmarks also appeared for a device called the HP Bowser 10 x2. This is very much a tablet and looks a little more powerful than its phablet companion, as it has a 1.8 GHz quad-core Tegra 4 processor, Android 4.3 and, at least according to GFX Bench, a 1920 x 1008 display, which would make it marginally worse than full HD.
Those specs still aren’t really anything special, but both devices could make for decent mid-range options if they’re priced right.
HP went low-end with its pricing on the Slate 7, so if it does the same thing with the new Slate 6, we could see a moderately attractive phablet for a rock-bottom price.
