HuaYi Tablet Takes the Crown from Ainol for Cheapest Tablet

Prior to this article, the cheapest yet decent tablet a person in the US could purchase was the Ainol Novo 7 which was $99. Now however, a Shenzhen, China-based manufacturer called HuaYi unveiled a 7-inch tablet the company is offering in China for just 399 Yuan ($65). The HuaYi tablet has the before mentioned 7-inch screen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels that is capable of multi-touch.

Besides that, it makes use of a low-voltage 1GHz single-core processor based on ARM’s Cortex-A8 architecture, 512MB of RAM, a front-facing camera, a microSD card slot, a micro USB port, a HDMI output and it runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. With no impending release date for the US market in sight, what you think about the tablet? Would you be purchasing it when it arrives Stateside since it should cost about $65?

Even if the tablet might seem to look a little rough around the edges although it does have rounded corners, customers do have to understand that for a tablet with a price like this attached to it, you shouldn’t be expecting the performance of a higher end tablet such as the Asus Transformer Prime. However, if you’re looking for an affordable option that might be able to be used for simple functions such as browsing or tweeting this might be exactly what you’re looking for and the fact that it won’t cost you an arm and a leg doesn’t hurt either.
