This is slick.

Sitting pretty at Qualcomm

Expansys are already putting this out for preorder:

Huawei S7 Android Tablet PC Support Forum - eXpansys UK

They've got it at 299GBP which seems quite cheap. Do you think this is an inferior model?

 

[koppit]

Nice find! That is a really good price - considering you get 1ghz and 3G, and they've got support for Android 2.1 ... Pre-ordered! Thanks! I posted the link on my site too, much appreciated.

 

[Lukehluke]

Thats an amazing price.

If Google don't bring out a tablet soon then I might buy one

Does anyone know if it will have a capacitive screen? I really want an Android tablet, but I do not want to go back to a resistive screen.

 

[koppit]

Yes, it is capacitive - Computex 2010: Android tablet Huawei Smakit S7 with voice communication

Will the S7 have access to Android Market? Or will it be limited to just aftermarket apps?

 

[koppit]

I found this on liliputing:

It has a 7 inch, 800 x 480 pixel capacitive touchscreen display. It runs Google Android 2.1. And in addition to 3G and voice connectivity, the tablet ships with Google applications including Gmail, Google Calendar, and best of all, access to the Android Market, which means tens of thousands of third party apps are just a few clicks away.

That's pretty nice looking. I like the price as well, a lot cheaper then an iPad.

 

[mrspeedmaster]

OK., I just read on engadget the shipping product is a 768 mhz.
THEY GIMPED IT
I hate it when manufactures pull this crap.

Huawei S7 Video Review Android Tablets

but look at how smooth it is, regardless...

 

[8Ball]

Again the video review says 1Ghz snap dragon, but Expansys who are the exclusive supplier say it's got a 768Mhz processor.

 

[Lukehluke]

Clove.co.uk also says its a 768Mhz processor as well.

 

[koppit]

Probably underclocked for battery saving goodness. Unfortunately it's also 900mhz 3G - so it's not compatible with Telus or Rogers up here

 

[8Ball]

Does that mean there may be a chance it can be overclocked at some point? What speed is the Arm A8 capable of reaching safely?

 

[mrspeedmaster]

Reviews coming in say battery life is bad. 100 minutes.

Huawei S7 tablet previewed, shipping date delayed

 

[koppit]

Yeah, just posted about it - 1.5 hours is pretty pathetic.

I'm lucky, a mod on another forum posed the question about 3G network frequency, and I checked before I confirmed my order - it isn't compatible with Canadian cellphone networks

So you have to use a stylus for the touch screen? No thanks.

 

[koppit]

Doesn't look like they're using a stylus in those videos

 

[SoulTerror]

Yeah when I first watched the video I remember them using their fingers, but I'm pretty sure one of those last links said you had to use a stylus.

"It’s also worth noting that at launch this tablet will only be available with a resistive touchscreen and stylus. But SlashGear reports that a model with a capacitive, finger-friendly touchscreen could be available later." - Huawei S7 tablet previewed, shipping date delayed
