HTC is poised to try its hand at building tablets again

A few days ago, rumors surfaced that HTC was working on bringing a low-end tablet to the market. After producing the Nexus 9, the company was expected to introduce other slate models, but that hasn’t happened so far.

However, it appears that HTC’s low-end tablet will actually become a reality after all. Today, we bring you word that the slate has been spotted on the Indian import/export website Zauba, which reveals a few of the device’s specifications.

The HTC tablet that was shipped in India was labeled H7 and comes with a 7-inch display and a 1.2GHz quad-core processor fitted with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.

The product is said to offer dual SIM slots, which is a bit of an odd feature for tablets. The listing doesn’t mention this, but the slate will probably run Android Lollipop out of the box.

The price listed in the database is of $150 / €134, which means that the H7 will probably have a sub $200 / €179 price tag when it arrives on the market later this year.

As you can see, the tablet is pretty uninspiring spec-wise, so naturally, we wonder if HTC will manage to differentiate it from the other bunch of low-end tablet models flooding the market.
