It seems too good to be true, and maybe it is, because we have no precise statement on the matter. But, at the end of the day, these are the data with which Cube, a low-cost tablet brand, announces its next flagship device: Jelly Bean and Retina display for $ 200.
Just by running with Jelly Bean a tablet can still be considered news, given the small number of them that are still available, and as reported in youmobile, this would be one of them. In fact, a recent report He has indicated that only 1,2% of traffic on the Web corresponds to a device with Android 4.1. However, the improvements that the latest Android update supposes compared to its predecessor, Ice Cream Sandwich, makes any device that has it as an operating system earn points immediately.
But if to Jelly Bean we add screens of Retina quality, the news is already really striking. Cube's tablet would have a size of 9,7 '', the same as the iPad, and a resolution identical to this one: 2048 x 1536. Consequently, the pixel density matches Apple's lauded Retina display on the tablet: PPI 264. It would thus be the first Android tablet with a screen of such quality.
What is even more surprising is that a device with these two characteristics also has a highly competitive price: $ 200. It is not so strange, however, that it is from a little-known manufacturer of low-cost tablets. In fact, it is inevitable to suspect that somewhere else there must be a trick, and the truth is that we do not know more technical specifications of the device, neither on processor, nor battery, nor memory, so that we cannot judge to what extent this can be a really interesting alternative.
Be that as it may, the tablet will launch first in China and we don't know how long it might take for it to be on sale in Europe.
