Rumour Says HP Will Launch A $200 Phablet Next Week
Back in December there was a rumour swirling that HP was readying to re-enter the smartphone market before the calendar turned over to 2024. That obviously didn’t happen but the rumour is far from dead. According to a new report, HP is indeed still working on the low end phablet that was rumoured back in December and it could be announced within a week.
The news was originally reported by 9to5Google who states that the tip came right from inside of HP. In addition to the time frame, the report also states that the device will carry just a $200 price tag. Obviously, at that price this isn’t going to be on the bleeding edge spec wise but with the right software/hardware combination, it could still be a pretty good offering.
I’m loving all the new good quality low cost devices that have been coming to market lately. My hope is that all these low cost devices will help drive the prices down on the premium devices which, as we all know, cost more than what they need to cost.
