14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese tablet manufacturers never cease to amaze us. Take the new Galaxy GALAPAD A1, which you might imagine is not a new unheard of Samsung slate.
The slate has surfaced on the web via the Chinese website 1Pad (via Tablet-News) and shows a slate with a 10.1-inch IPS display and offering full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels).
But the surprising component is the Tegra 4 quad-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz, found under the bonnet. Thus, the GALAPAD offers 72 graphics, putting it on par with NVIDIA’s own Tegra Note 7 gaming tablet.
The slate is also fitted with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. Currently, we don’t exactly know when the slate should become available on the market, and there’s another unknown factor in the equation. How much will the slate sell for?
Keep in mind the NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 comes with a 7-inch display with a pretty average 1280 x 800 pixels resolution but bundling the same Tegra 4 mobile processor with quad-core Cortex-A15 CPU. Also, the Tegra has only 1GB of RAM available, so that makes the GALAPAD pretty attractive.
The slate sells for $199 / €145, and I think the Chinese offering will come sporting a similar price tag.
