HP Slate 6 Voice Tab Overall Review

The HP Slate 6 Voice Tab, announced in January 2014, blurs the line between a smartphone and a tablet, offering users a unique combination of functionality and portability. This device is distinguished by its 6.0-inch display, providing a substantial screen size for viewing content, reading, and web browsing, without sacrificing the convenience of voice communication capabilities.

Powered by a Marvell PXA1088 chipset and 1 GB of RAM, the HP Slate 6 Voice Tab delivers a performance tailored to basic multitasking and media consumption. With 16 GB of internal storage, users have adequate space for apps and media, which can be expanded via microSD card, ensuring that space is seldom a constraint.

Photography on the Slate 6 Voice Tab is handled by a 5 MP primary camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera, catering to basic photography and video calling needs. While not designed to compete with high-end smartphones in imaging capabilities, it strikes a balance suitable for casual use.

The device runs on Android, providing access to a vast array of apps and services. Its 3000 mAh battery is designed to support extended usage periods, an essential feature for a device that aims to serve as both a phone and a tablet.
