HP Slate6 and Slate7 want to turn phablets into VoiceTabs

When is a phablet not a phablet? When it’s a VoiceTab! HP is planning to make its voice heard in the mobile game with the new HP Slate6 VoiceTab and HP Slate7 VoiceTab.

The Slate6 has a 6-inch screen, while the Slate7 — you guessed it — is a 7-inch tablet. The Slate6 boasts a 720p screen, and the two VoiceTabs feature quad-core processors and high definition cameras.

Combining phone and tablet, they take on the likes of the 6-inch Nokia Lumia 1520 and the Sony Xperia Z Ultra and the 7-inch Asus Fonepad.

HP has been pretty quiet even after vowing a return to smart phones last summer, although it does make tablets like the HP Slate 7 Android tablet, the Windows 8 laptop-cum-tablet HP Envy x2, and the humungous 20-inch HP Rove 20.

HP says the pair of VoiceTabs will be on sale in India in February. I’ve contacted HP to find out if they’re coming here. They’re dual-SIM devices though, so chances are they won’t in this form as dual-SIM isn’t a very popular idea in Blighty.
