SHuawei MediPad 7 Vogue tablet hits the FCC

Chinese device maker Huawei’s next 7 inch tablet is expected to be called the Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue. The company hasn’t officially announced the tablet yet, but the tablet earned DLNA certification a few months ago. Now the MediaPad 7 Vogue is continuing its tour of regulatory and certification agencies. This weekend it showed up at the FCC website.The Huawei MediaPad 7 Vogue has the makings of a low-cost Android tablet, but one with optional 3G and 4G capabilities.

The tablet expected to have a 7 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1.5 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core processor, 1GB Of RAM, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software.It supports WiFi and Bluetooth, and features HDMI and DLNA. There’s also a microSD card slot.A few years ago, those would have been amazing specs for an Android tablet, no matter what price tag it carriers. But these days you can get some pretty nice 7 inch tablets for well under $199, and word on the street is that the next Google 10 inch tablets could have a higher-resolution 1920 x 1200 pixel display.

So if Huawei tries to sell the WiFi-only version of this tablet for more than $149, it could have a tough time finding buyers.Smartphones and tablets have made luxury more convenient to those with means, but it's not for everyone. If you're the type of person who struggles with the TV remote, you may not want your entire home controlled by technology. And some over-the-top features can become outdated quickly, requiring expensive updates.ddQW53D

A couple of days ago we’ve heard that Samsung has been granted a patent for a flexible display tablet and now we are facing the first rendering based on the details of the patent filing. Moreover, it seems that a similar flexible display will also be used for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5.We are talking about the rendering of a flexible Samsung tablet crated by the Dutch website Mobileaks, that imagines a device with an edge-to-edge display that is flexible in the low end. Either we are talking about the YOUM technology or other OLED panels, it’s obvious that Samsung has some serious plans of developing terminals that will come with flexible displays.

Returning to the Samsung flexible tablet designed by the guys at Mobileaks, learn that it boasts a 8 inch tablet display with flexible AMOLED technology and a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The slate also comes with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, which can be expanded with up to 64 GB, courtesy of the microSD card slot.

It is also mentioned that the Samsung flexible tablet is powered by company’s proprietary Exynos 5 Octa chipset, based on four Cortex A15 cores clocked at 1.6 GHz (for the tasks that require more processing power) and four Cortex A7 cores at 1.2 GHz (for the basic tasks and improved battery life). It also sports a 3 megapixel user-facing camera for video calls, which is probably capable of recording full HD videos, while being kept alive by a 8,000 mAh battery.

Judging by the specs listed by the Dutch website the Samsung flexible tablet sounds rather like a slate that should see the light of day this year (the Exynos 5 Octa will underpin Samsung’s high-end devices launched in 2013). Anyway, my guess is that we won’t see a Samsung flexible smartphone or tablet this year, as the Galaxy S5 might be the company’s first such device.
