HP Slate 7 vs Google Nexus 7

2013-02-26
I'll write is charged for Garthim Android authority what's going on everybody and we have another verses here for you HP is coming out a little bit from left field with their new Slate 7 tablet it is a seven-inch tablet so they're going into that market and of course the logical verses here would be with Google's own Nexus 7 it's Google's baby it's their number one it's one of their best-selling devices ever and it really is still one of the most popular devices out you a 7-inch market however HP is looking to make some waves with a few extra features inside of their tablet that they're hoping to compete with the Nexus 7 you can see a couple of them right here on the back already you have Beats Audio so if any of you have ever used Beats Audio and any other devices like HP or HTC phones or anything like that you'll know what to expect there a lot more clarity a lot fuller bass a lot richer mid-tones and high range in the audio there so if you're a music listener then this might be a pretty good device for you also however one of the big differences here is that you can see is just a flat back on the Nexus 7 however on the Slate 7 by HP you have the 3 megapixel camera on the back a 10 megapixel it's Hambly rather a 10-inch tablet may not be the most ideal device to take a picture with but at 7 inches it's a little bit more acceptable so a 3 megapixel camera on the back might prove quite useful to some of you on the other hand you have VGA camera on the front whereas on the Nexus 7 you have the camera of as well so one of the other aspects that makes the slate 7 different from the Nexus 7 is the fact that it will be priced a little bit cheaper at 169 you're looking at 8 gigabytes inside of the slate 7 or as the $1.99 on the Nexus 7 will give you 8 as well so you're kind of looking at two different worlds here it looks like let's look real quick it looks like we're running the version with 4.1.1 for Android of Android on the slate 7 however on the Nexus 7 of course we are about as updated as we can get I have an update to 4.2.2 but you see as well playing same jelly bean on the Nexus 7 so you're looking at two different worlds there one other thing that I'll notice here is that the build quality is pretty good on the slate 7 you get you look you have what kind of looks like a middle but a metal lining around the sides the bezel however on the front seems to be a little bit wider on the sides of the slate 7 it seems to be just a little bit thinner over on the Nexus 7 so let's display while the r7 inches you will have a little bit less real estate on the slate 7 by HP over here one of the important differences between these two tablets however is the performance you're looking at the very popular Tegra 3 processor by Nvidia inside of the Nexus 7 which has a lot of performance however there is a dual core of cortex a9 inside of the slave 7 giving it a little bit of a dip light a disadvantage rather in terms of performance when compared to the Nexus 7 also there's another disadvantage inside of the Slate 7 when you have a 1024 by 6600 display however the Nexus 7 takes full advantage of its screen by having a 1280 by 800 display so as far as the actual resignations of the displays are both of these tablets you are getting a bit of a disadvantage with these slave 7 that being said however it is a lesser priced tablet so you can decide for yourself whether you want the slightly more premium Nexus 7 which has been very very popular and we're going to see just how popular the slave 7 is and it's 100 69 price point $30 less than the Nexus 7 so thank you very much everybody its Josh lugar from Android authority at MWC in Barcelona Spain
