HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II Disappoints

Earlier this year, we did bring you word on the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab that was set to hit India later in 2014, which it did, and within the same calendar year, here we have HP rolling out that particular tablet’s successor, where it has been uncreatively called the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II. For those who are curious to know whether the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II is going to function as a real significant upgrade compared to its predecessor, you will be disappointed that this is not the case.

As at press time, it does seem as though the differences between the old and new are minimal, with the software version and rear camera making up ground in the newer model. Do expect the HP Slate 6 VoiceTab II to run on Android 4.4 KitKat right out of the box (instead of 4.2 Jelly Bean as with its predecessor), while the 5MP camera at the back has been upgraded to capture 8MP images while you are on the move.

The remaining hardware specifications, such as 3G connectivity, a 6” IPS display with 720 x 1280 pixels resolution, a 2MP selfie camera, a quad-core 1.2 GHz Marvell PXA1088 processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB of internal memory, and a 3,000 mAh Li-Po battery remain the same, not to mention dual SIM card support.
