HP 7 VoiceTab

 

HP seems to be focusing on the voice-calling tablet market with its VoiceTab line of products.HP's newest voice-calling Android tablet, the HP 7 VoiceTab, is a 7-inch tablet as its name suggests. You won't need to break a bank to purchase one since it costs less than Rs. 10,000. 

Look :- 

The HP 7 VoiceTab looks and feels like a sturdy device, which is great since the Slate6 VoiceTab had poor build quality. Made entirely of plastic, the HP 7 VoiceTab is quite chunky at 10.2mm thick and 305g in weight. Even so, the bezels are fairly thin, making the HP 7 VoiceTab feel more compact than some other 7-inch tablets we've used in the past.

The power button and volume rocker are on the right edge of the tablet. These buttons have decent travel. On the bottom is the standard Micro-USB charging port and on the top lies the 3.5mm audio jack. HP decided to go with onscreen buttons for navigating through the operating system. Above the 6.95-inch screen are the earpiece, front camera and ambient light sensor.  

The 6.95-inch display has a resolution of 600x1024, which translates to a low 170ppi density. Images and text look pixellated, colours are washed out, and viewing angles are completely off. 

Specifications :-
 
The HP 7 VoiceTab uses a quad-core Mediatek MT8382 SoC which has four 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU cores and a Mali-400MP2 GPU. There is 1GB of RAM available for applications and services. HP provides 8GB of internal storage space but one can extend this by up to 32GB using a microSD card. The tablet also supports USB On-the-Go.

Performance
 
The HP 7 VoiceTab is a fairly decent performer in daily usage. We didn't notice any freezes or stutters when using the device, though heavy games didn't work well.The HP 7 VoiceTab scored 7fps in GFXBench and 3036 in the 3DMark Ice Storm test. We ran AnTuTu and Quadrant as well, in which the device scored 17,768 and 6,578 points respectively.
