Related Categories: Alcatel, Jelly Bean, New Tablet, Tab, Tablet News, Tablet Reviews, Upcoming Tablet

Alcatel showed off numerous new tablets earlier this month that were mostly 7” models. But, the Alcatel One Touch Tab 8 HD comes with a bigger 8” (1024 x 768) display. The device also has Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) OS, 1.6GHz dual-core processor, 8GB of NAND onboard storage, microSD card slot and 1GB of RAM.

There are a 2Mp camera on the back and also a VGA (0.3Mp) front-facing camera. The tablet will be available for $179 in the United States in Q3 2013. Connectivity options include microUSB port, WiFi and Bluetooth. Tablets with 8” display are considered suitable for those thinking 7” tablets too small and 10.1” models too big.

It appears the Touch Tab 8 HD will compete directly with iPad Mini, which has a slightly smaller display and more expensive. Overall, the tablet seems to have decent specs detail for the affordable price tag.

Apparently, there will be a new Android tablet model coming from Samsung’s R&D lab, since three new UAProfs (User Agent Profiles) have shown us three separate variants of a single tablet model. While UAProfs don’t always provide accurate information, it seems that Samsung may be planning to launch the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Plus.

Three code names are mentioned, SM-P900 (3G and WiFi), SM-P901 (WiFi-Only) and SM-P905 (4G/LTE, 3G and WiFi). We get little details so far, but it appears that the tablet will have an impressive 2560 x 1600 screen resolution; comparable to Google’s Nexus 10 tablet.

All of them will be running the newer Jelly Bean OS version, the Android 4.2. These devices have “P” in their model number, which indicate their Galaxy Tab identity and the lack of no S-Pen support. Given the high resolution offered by these devices, it’s quite likely that they have 10.1” display. With all these assumptions, the most likely commercial name for the tablet could be Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (10.1) Plus.

Acer Iconia A1-810 Targets Apple iPad Mini for Direct Competition

A quick look at the Acer Iconia A1-810 shows us that it is aimed at one particular tablet model, specifically the Apple iPad Mini tablet. Both have the same 7.9″ IPS (1024 x 768) LCD display

The display has been criticized for its mediocre pixel density and like Apple, so Acer can’t really brag about it. The tablet seems to include a number of budget-oriented specs, including the 1.2 GHz MediaTek ARM Cortex A9 quad core chip, 16 GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM.

There’s a 3250 mAh battery to keep the device humming for an entire day. The camera on the rear weighs in at 5Mp and it is accompanied by the less capable VGA shooter in front. The slate will have Jelly Bean (Android 4.2) preinstalled out of the box and it should be launched officially in first week of June. A French retailer says that it will soon take pre-orders of the Acer A1-810 for 199€ or $260.

Lava Etab Connect is Revealed

Lava Etab Connect is a low-cost tablet, which features a 7” WVGA TFT LCD display and 3G voice call capability. There’s enough space on the front to fit a VGA camera. Another 2Mp shooter rests on the opposite side. The Etab Connect is powered by a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 single-core processor, which is underpowered for many tasks owing to its older architecture.

Partially contributing to modest multitasking capability is its 512MB of RAM. The Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) OS can be considered as a slight shortcoming, as other tablet makers already release new models with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Users will drain power from the 3,000mAh battery, which could sustain slightly more than three hours of web browsing.

Its voice calling capability may not count as an important attribute for buying the Etab Connect, but this should be an appealing feature in emerging markets such as India.
