Huawei is not really a big brand but they are a pretty big hardware manufacturer, who managed to bring a lot of value products sold directly under their brand, via OEM contracts or mobile operator deals.

    The Huawei S7 slate tablet is maybe their try to make a name of themselves, as it is a 7 inch tablet which looks nice and features normal Android tablet hardware hardware specs for this moment and keeps a pretty affordable price tag of 370 €/299£ (will sell only via Expansys at the moment).

    Let’s see what the Huawei S7 tablet has to brag about and what you can get for less money than you would pay for an iPad:

    • Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 ARM cortx A8 @758MHz
    • 256 MB RAM
    • Android 2.1 OS, upgradable to further versions
    • no internal storage, upgradable via microSDHC cards
    • 7 inch resistive touch screen with 800 x 480 pixels resolution (capacitive model could be available later this year)
    • Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, WiFi 802.11n, HSPA/UMTS
    • 2 megapixel front facing camera
    • Li-ION battery 3.7V 2200mAh
    • access to Android marketplace

    This is a pretty comprehensive package you get for 299 pounds, with reported high quality build and 720p capable video playback, with great sound from such tiny speakrs. The only thing that might get you off the Huawei S7 is the battery life, with usable time of just 100 minutes in real life, which makes it pretty much unusable on long journeys. The other thing is that the Huawei S7 is not yet available, but if you buy it today, July 7th, according to eXpansys, you could get it in 24 days.
