HP TouchPad 4G Review

HP TouchPad 4G is a low end tablet released back in 2011, counting with a 1.3 megapixels front side camera, a powerful 1500 MHz Dual-Core processing unit and an enormous 9.7 inches multi touch screen. Let's take a deeper view of what this device can do.

This time, it seems like HP forgot about optimizing the weight in this 26.1 ounces tablet. The HP TouchPad 4G is a compact device, taking into account that it packs a 9.7" display and it has just 9.45" long. The HP TouchPad 4G is quite thick compared to current tablets, with a thickness of 0.54".

This tablet is equipped with a powerful Dual-Core processor clocking at 1500 MHz. The HP TouchPad 4G has a 32 GB excellent internal storage memory and although it doesn't have an SD memory card expansion slot, it it is more than enough to store tons of applications, games, photos and videos without even thinking about filling it.

This tablet has wifi connection (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a wireless router), HSPA+ 4G connection type, which is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE networks and the fastest 3G data connection, over HSDPA, HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This tablet works with a SIM card for GSM networks.

The HP TouchPad 4G is equipped with only a 1.3 megapixels front side camera.

This tablet also comes with a couple of interesting characteristics such as Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth tablets and accessories) and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This tablet features a 6300 mAh high capacity Li-Ion non-replaceable battery that provides this tablet an amazing battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the HP TouchPad 4G's battery is not replaceable so you can't change it when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, although with such a huge battery size you will probably buy a new tablet device before it happens.

The HP TouchPad 4G is priced about $ 160, a really high price for comparing with similar tablets.
