Back in July, alleged images of HP’s future Android tablet lineup leaked. One of the tablets in the leak was the 10 Plus. It looks like the 10 Plus turned out to be a real product, as it’s currently on sale through the company’s own website and Amazon.

The 10 Plus runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat and features a Full HD 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution screen. Powering the tablet is an ARM Cortex A7 quad-core processor clocked at 1GHz, which is paired with 2GB of RAM. Pictures taken with the 5-megapixel rear-facing and 2-megapixel front-facing cameras will be saved onto the 16GB of internal storage, though the MicroSD card slot allows for up to 32GB of extra storage. Unfortunately the 7,700mAh Li-ion polymer battery can only give the 10 Plus a meager six hours of battery life.

Interestingly, the availability of the 10 Plus was not accompanied by any sort of formal press release from HP. There was no fanfare around the tablet whatsoever, likely due to the 10 Plus’ meager specifications that are coupled with a $280 asking price.

Samsung’s next tablet may have a big edge over the iPad Pro

Recent apps view on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve come across a few purported product renders of the next flagship Samsung tablet, along with some details of its key specs. Now, leaker Evan Blass has shared an alleged render of the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra that reveals one stunning detail.

Alongside the bottom edge of the tablet, we get not one, but two USB Type-C ports. This isn't the first time we have seen this feature, but it is a fresh approach for Samsung tablets. The rest of the design — including its slim metallic shell, dual cameras, thin bezels, and notch — is carried over from its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

Galaxy Tab fans might not have much longer to wait before the latest entries to the lineup hit the market. Eagle-eyed sources spotted the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and the S10 Ultra on the 3C certification website.
