Huawei S7 Android Tablet is available for order in the UK

One of the first tablet PCs running the Android operating system is available for pre-order in the UK online store (www.expansys.com). The well-known Chinese company Huawei produces the tablet, while the model bears the name “Huawei S7 Android Tablet.” The residents of Great Britain are promised to deliver the order within 8 days, to Russia, of course, longer. The cost of the device without shipping is £ 299.99. Is it a lot or a little? Let's look at the characteristics.


For the first time this tablet was lit on Copyutex a month earlier . The device was announced with a 7-inch capacitive display (according to Engadget, very sensitive), 1 GHz snapdragon on board and a slot for mini-SD cards. At the moment, only the version with a processor operating only at 768 MHz is available.

Pros and cons of the device

pros

• Android operating system (for connoisseurs);
• Many applications available through the Android Market;
• The ability to expand memory using the slot mini-SD;
• Wireless access, both via WiFi and 3G networks;
• Nice price (£ 299.99 without delivery from the UK).

Minuses

• No internal memory (only mini-SD);
• There is no real multitasking;
• Relatively low screen resolution;
• Weak processor;
• There is no GPS.

Conclusion

Thus, we have available a rather interesting device at an adequate price, even taking into account the delivery and customs clearance. The undoubted advantages in the form of mini-SD, 3G, bluetooth and the absence of the need to install iTunes on a working computer for many will be decisive when choosing their first “tablet”. However, the lack of GPS for a number of customers (including for me) will turn out to be a critical factor pushing away from the generally wonderful Huawei S7 Android Tablet.
