FCC gets new HP Pre 3 to check out
The folks over at the FCC might want to do a double take on the latest HP Pre 3 that has arrived at their doorsteps – after all, they have seen it in the past before just last month, so to have a similar device arrive so soon might leave some feeling puzzled. The HP Pre 3 that is sent there this time around is slightly different from the previous one that supported just GSM 850/1900 and WCDMA bands II and V, as this model will offer a broader range of support including CDMA/EvDO bands 850/1900, GSM bands 850/900/1800/1900, and UMTS bands 900/2100.
For those who are interested in model numbers, this particular version of the Pre 3 will be known as the HSTNH-F30CV, and according to previous leaks, Verizon Wireless will be the carrier behind this smartphone. After all, support for CDMA/EvDO, GSM and UMTS standards translates to this being practically a world phone.
While Verizon has yet to make any official announcement concerning the HP Pre 3, we won’t be surprised to see them add on to their stable of world phones which previously were limited to Android and BlackBerry operating systems. Might as well complete the collection with webOS, no?
HP has indulged in the tablet market for quite a number of years already, although they have not exactly been the most successful of companies in this particular niche. This time around, it does look as though HP will be preparing a couple of new tablets – that do seem to obtain a strong influence from Huawei, so much so that they could very well be just rebranded devices.
How does a HP branded smartphone sound to you? I am quite sure that those of us out there who are more concerned about reliability might prefer a brand name that has fared far better than HP in the smartphone industry, such as the likes of Samsung, Apple, Nokia or LG. Well, if you love rooting for the underdog always, and want to give something different a try, HP might have just the thing for you.
An alleged HP smartphone was leaked out earlier this week, and it certainly seemed to jive with what HP Senior Director Yam Su Yin mentioned earlier this month, that HP intends to make a return to the smartphone business by introducing a unique model. The executive was even quoted, that “HP has to be in the game.” Do you think you will pick up a HP branded smartphone when the time comes?
HP could be working on a spanking new high end Android-powered tablet which they have seen fit to call the HP SlateBook 10 X2. Of course, this is a particularly new piece of tech which was first picked up by the good people over at TabTech of Germany, courtesy of an AnTuTu benchmark. The HP SlateBook 10 X2 does seem to come with a 10” display of unknown resolution count, where it will be accompanied by a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 processor that has been clocked at 1.8GHz, and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean in tow.
No idea on pricing or availability of the HP SlateBook 10 X2 though, but then again, it would not be the first of such devices to be announced by what was once a major computer manufacturing force in the world, since we have been acquainted with the Windows 8-powered HP Envy X2 before this. We do, however, hope to hear and see more about the HP SlateBook 10 X2 in due time.
