Comparisons Featuring HP TouchPad 4G
Short Review
- The HP TouchPad 4G features a sturdy build with dimensions of 240 x 190 x 13.7 mm and a weight of 740g, offering a solid feel in hand.
- Its 9.7-inch LED-backlit LCD display has a resolution of 768 x 1024 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 132 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Scorpion CPU and Qualcomm APQ8060 Snapdragon S3 chipset, paired with 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with multitasking.
- The rear camera is limited to 1.3 MP, lacking advanced features like optical image stabilization or video recording, while the front camera is non-existent.
- The 6300 mAh battery capacity supports extended usage, but it lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- Running on HP webOS 3.0, the software experience is unique, though it may feel dated compared to contemporary systems.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device includes stereo speakers and a headphone jack, enhancing media consumption.
- Overall, the HP TouchPad 4G offers basic functionality with some limitations in performance and camera capabilities.
- Its design and build quality remain commendable for its release period in 2011.
