Before anything else, you should know that Lenovo has not indicated or the release date of these three tablets , or even their price. This is obviously very sad, especially for the price actually, but it may be correct in shooting hours in the day or in the coming weeks and it is possible that we'll talk very quickly these new slates. In the meantime, although he will settle their characteristics.

We start with the Lenovo A1000 which will be positioned on the entry level and thus offer a screen of 7 inches with a resolution of 1024 × 600, a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2 Ghz, 16 GB of storage space and a port for micro SD cards.

Remains the Lenovo S6000, which features a 10-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 × 800 and a quad core processor clocked at 1.2 Ghz.

Of clean lines, a rear shell with bright colors, it would almost feel coming face to a mobile Lumia range. Speaking of which, you can also specify that the One Touch Idol X will be available in three colors at launch: orange, yellow and blue. There will be so for everyone, or almost.

Okay, and then under the hood? Well, there's good and less good. One Touch X Idol benefit and a Full HD screen of 5 inches , a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 Ghz , with 16 GB of storage , a micro SD card slot and a 13 megapixel sensor on top of that. On paper, this is not bad even if the chip board will not necessarily be the fastest, and even if you know nothing about the amount of RAM onboard.

However, the problem is that you have absolutely no idea what price will be offered the One Touch Idol X, or even if it will be possible to enjoy in Europe. And that, ultimately, it is very unfortunate. Now, if Alcatel's not stupid, then it will make its new mobile offer a very attractive price history to distinguish themselves from the competition.

And if not, the technical? It is important not to expect miracles, especially not for that price. HP Slate 7 embeds and one 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 × 600 feeble, a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 clocked at 1.6 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB of storage space, a port microSD card, WiFi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 2.1, a 3 megapixel sensor on the back of the slate and a second front VGA sensor.

I do not know what you think, but in my case, I'm not particularly impressed by this new slate and, ultimately, we say that the Nexus 7 is much more interesting since it enjoys a processor and swifter, more importantly, a better resolution.
