HP Slate 8 Plus Tablet Is In The Pipeline

When it comes to tablet devices, the folks over at HP have had their fair share of releases in the past, although this time around, the purported HP Slate 8 Plus has been spotted over in a Wi-Fi certification site that depicts the rumored tablet as running on the Android mobile operating system platform, has 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as support for dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5GHz networks.

As the name of this particular tablet suggests, the HP Slate 8 Plus will feature an 8” display (although we would not quite rule out the possibility of a 7.85” display, either), with the “Plus” suffix being a decent indicator that this particular tablet could be a wee bit higher up the proverbial food chain compared to the regular HP 8, where that particular model sported a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU, 1GB RAM, 16GB of internal memory and a 1024 x 768 pixel display.

It is always nice to be able to enjoy a faster processor, have more memory as well as revel in a higher resolution display, but until something official is released, we will just have to approach the HP Slate 8 Plus with more caution than usual. There is room to accommodate the presence of the HP Slate 8 Plus, since there was a HP Slate 7 Plus before.
