BlackBerry 4G PlayBook HSPA+
 |
BlackBerry 4G PlayBook HSPA+ is a solid, well-made tablet introduced in February 2011. Having 4G connectivity, the PlayBook is definitely faster than the Wi-Fi version. In terms of other specs, this model is identical to the 3G + Wi-Fi model. Everything great included in the Wi-Fi PlayBook can be found also in the 4G version. At the bottom, there is an expanded label which now includes the LTE labeling. Instead, the serial number has been moved around. The charging plugs at the bottom have been slightly changed- a bit straight out. Another change is related to the added microSIM slot. Positioned at the bottom, it slides out with ease. BlackBerry 4G PlayBook HSPA+ measures 194 x 130 x 10 mm and it weighs 425 grams. The tablet includes a 7-inch screen with a 600 x 1024 pixel resolution. There is a dual-core Cortex A9 processor ticking over at 1 GHz with 1 GB of RAM. This tablet is offered with optional 16, 32 or 64 GB of in-built storage capacity. It comes with two cameras – a 3 MP up front and a 5 MP camera on the back. The operating system is BlackBerry OS for tablets. You will have pre-loaded apps like BlackBerry Bridge, Calendar, Email, Messages, Video Chat and others. |
