News comes to us from Japan of the launch of which is undoubtedly the world's lightest tablet, NEC Stockings Tab UL N08-D. We are facing a 7-inch Android tablet with a very powerful Qualcomm processor. It was presented yesterday in Japan and it is not yet known when it will hit the market or for what price, but we know many things about it that make it a super interesting tablet.
It seems logical that it is NEC who brings the lightest tablet in the world, since they are also the ones who have made the lightest ultrabook, the NEC LaVie Z. In this case NEC Medias Tab UL N08-D only weighs 249 grams, this is almost 100 grams less than the 345 grams of Nexus 7 and 150 less than the 395 grams of Kindle Fire HD. This is thanks to the fact that its casing is made with carbon fiber but, even so, it is still surprising.
Like these two, it's a tablet with a 7 inch with a resolution of X, this is a definition of 216 ppi same as Google and Amazon tablets. In terms of performance, everything remains to be seen but it promises. Has a SoC chip Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 formed by a processor dual core 1,5 GHz of architecture Krait and a Adreno GPU 305. All with 1 GB of RAM and operating system Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which they hope to update to Jelly Bean soon. It has a storage capacity of 16 GB that we can expand with its slot microSD / microSDHC card.
It has two cameras, a front of 2 MPX and a rear of 8 MPX. To top it off, its connectivity is excellent: Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, 3G and USB port. Has a 3100 mAh battery. The most incredible thing is that all these functions fit in just 9,9 mm of thickness, which should be no more surprise than its 249 grams of weight, yes, we repeat it to be clear.
The Japanese operator NTT DoCoMo has the marketing agreement, I hope they will let us know the price soon.
