Alcatel is a consistent presence at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas, as the company has already announced a plethora of Android smartphones.

Aside from the wide range of upcoming smartphones, Alcatel also announced a new One Touch Tab lineup of Android tablets.

The good news is that all three slates will be among the cheapest on the market, but the bad news is that they are expected to hit shelves in Q3 2013.

Alcatel One Touch Tab 7, One Touch Tab 7 HD and One Touch Tab 8 HD are powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box, though by the time they go on sale this might not be the newest Google mobile platform.

The One Touch Tab 7 HD is next in line with a price tag of $150/€115. The slate comes with a 7-inch HD capacitive touchscreen display that supports 1280 x 800 pixels resolution and is powered by a dual-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz, which is complemented by 1GB of RAM.
