HP enters the $100 tablet game with the 7 Plus

It looks like HP is learning a thing or two from Motorola. The company has quietly unveiled the HP 7 Plus, a $100 tablet that’s guaranteed to take it easy on your wallet.

The 7 Plus comes equipped with a 7-inch 1024 x 600 pixel screen that’s flanked by pretty beefy bezels, though their practical usage could nullify that. It is powered by an Allwinner A31 ARM Cortex A7 quad-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM. The tablet comes with 8GB of internal storage, though the MicroSD card slot allows for up to 32GB of additional storage. You will find a 2-megapixel camera on the back and a 0.3-megapixel camera on the front.

Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n keeps the 7 Plus connected to the world, while the 28oomAh battery gives the tablet up to 5 hours and 30 minutes of battery life. Finally, while Bluetooth is absent, the tablet is powered by Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

While it’s easy to scoff at the specifications, it seems to represent a great alternative for those with tight budgets or for those who have kids and wish to buy it for entertainment purposes. The HP 7 Plus is available now, and if you want to save even more money, applying coupon code SLICK15HP at checkout will net you a $15 discount, lowering the price tag to $85.

OnePlus has just confirmed that its next flagship arrives on October 31 in China. Over the past few days, the phone has appeared in unceremonious leaks, was spotted at an event in China, and appeared in teaser silhouettes. The wait for a better look, however, is finally over.

The preorder page for OnePlus’ upcoming phone has gone live on Oppo Shop in China, and with it, we now have a whole bunch of official images. It’s a familiar design, if you ask me, but it still stands out with a few neat changes.

Samsung fans have been waiting with bated breath for the One UI 7 update, but we have bad news: it's been delayed until next year, according to the keynote speech at Samsung's developer conference.

One UI 7 will be released with the Galaxy S25 series, which will launch in January at the earliest. It's a relatively safe assumption that updates will roll out to older devices after that.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE vs. Galaxy S24 Plus.

Samsung's Galaxy S FE smartphone series holds a special place within the Galaxy S lineup, and the newly unveiled Galaxy S24 FE is no different. It was announced almost nine months after the mainline Galaxy S24 range and offers many of the same high-end features as the earlier models at a more affordable price. This "Fan Edition" model is most similar to the Galaxy S24 Plus, so it makes sense to compare the two models. Here's how the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE compares to the Galaxy S24 Plus, along with our take on which one you should buy.
