Huawei S7 Android Tablet is available for order in the UK
One of the first tablets running the Android operating system is available for pre-order at the UK online store (www.expansys.com). The tablet is manufactured by the well-known Chinese company Huawei, the model is called “Huawei S7 Android Tablet.” Residents of the UK promise to deliver the order within 8 days, to Russia, of course, longer. The cost of the device without delivery is £ 299.99. Is it a lot or a little? Let's look at the specifications.
This tablet first appeared on Kopyuteks a month earlier . The device was announced with a 7-inch capacitive display (according to Engadget, very sensitive), a 1-GHz snapdragon on board and a slot for mini-SD cards. At the moment, only the version with a processor operating only at a frequency of 768 MHz is available.
Thus, we have a rather interesting device at a reasonable price, even taking into account delivery and customs clearance. The undoubted advantages in the form of mini-SD, 3G, bluetooth and the lack of the need to install iTunes on a working computer will be decisive for many when choosing their first “tablet”. However, the lack of GPS for a number of buyers (including for me) will turn out to be a critical factor, pushing away from the generally remarkable Huawei S7 Android Tablet.
