A tablet device is a small and portable version of a laptop that can be held in both hands and is operated through a touchscreen. The first thing that you will notice it does not have the traditional keyboard and in addition does not come other components that make up a computer such as battery, fan and mouse/trackpad.

A dual core android tablet is a device that houses a processor that has two cores on one single chip. These processors will run with a clock speed of 1.2GHz and above.

The main player in the tablet market is the Apple iPad and devices that have the Google Android operating system. These devices are becoming alternative option to buying a laptop or desktop pc due the cost being so inexpensive with some starting out from £200 with the most expensive being around £600.

There a number of reasons as to why you should an Android tablet over the Apple iPad such as its size, multitasking, cameras, syncing and batteries. With the Apple iPad it comes in the dimensions of 9.56 x 7.47 x .5 in, which is equivalent to a 10 by 8 picture frame but this device only comes in this one size. Android tablets come in a variety of sizes from the smallest at 5 inches to the biggest at 10 inches.

Because the majority of Android tablets are running with a dual core processor, it means that it has the power to handle the capability of multitasking. The Apple iPad cannot truly do this because it will drain on the performance and the battery life of the device. Google's Android operating system Honeycomb 3.0 offers a ray of multitasking features that makes it easy to navigate your way around the tablet. Google is set to release a new version of its operating system Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which will the OS work with both tablets and smartphones devices.

Save on Laptops is one of the leading companies in the UK that are specialising in dual core android tablets. It is an internet only retailer which helps keep prices low. We are situated in Minworth, Sutton Coldfield, which is just 10 minutes from Birmingham City Centre and we can be reached from most of the West Midlands via the M6/M6 Toll.

Huawei isn’t absolutely accepted for getting a ambassador of high-end adaptable devices, but the aggregation has been acquisitive to change that angel recently. A big acumen why we don’t automatically accessory the Chinese architect with today’s crop of Galaxy S3s and HTC One X’s is partly due to Huawei’s absence from the North American bazaar — they accept fabricated strides actuality afresh — and a history of bearing bargain featurephones and low-powered smartphones. Huawei is ushering in a new era with the absolution of the Ascend P1, a attenuate (albeit not as attenuate as the Ascend P1 S) and able accessory accessible in China and added regions this month.

While its specs adeptness not apprehend as absorbing as they did if it was aboriginal appear in January, the Ascend P1 is Huawei’s big adventitious to bolt people’s attention. And it doesn’t appear a moment too soon, with quad-core accessories looming on the company’s roadmap. So is it time to yield Huawei seriously? Apprehend on to acquisition out.

Hardware

The Huawei Ascend P1 is advertised as getting the hardly plumper analogue to the Ascend P1 S, which appearance a about identical blueprint sheet. But don’t be bamboozled by the description. The Ascend P1 still measures in at a simple 7.7mm thick, about a millimeter thicker than the P1 S and no worse for it. The amount provides a nice bit of business for Huawei, but the buzz does affection two areas that beetle to a beneath amount of array — a “chin” at the basal of the buzz and the breadth about the camera housing. In the admirable adjustment of things, the thicker areas are hardly noticed.

To accumulate accessory admeasurement down Huawei has autonomous to go with a non-removable battery, which ante at 1670mAh and does a accomplished job powering the handset’s dual-core 1.5GHz TI OMAP 4460 chipset. The dent is no Snapdragon S4, but accompanying with 1GB of RAM it is harder to apprehension any instances area processing adeptness avalanche flat.

A 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED affectation provides our window into the Ascend P1, and it looks abundant accomplishing it. We’ve been a bit baby on ample 720p HD affectation as of late, so it would be simple to beating what Huawei is accomplishing here. But traveling with Super AMOLED was a acute choice, as the affluence of blush and adverse balances the hardly lower resolution and still provides a solid beheld experience.

Here I will abeyance to point out that the endure two accouterments elements covered — the processor and affectation — do appear off on cardboard as a bit outdated. The tech getting acclimated seems added at home appear the end of 2011 or aboriginal 2012, which is if Huawei initially appear this device. We abhorrence to say it, but timing can generally accomplish or breach how a buzz is received. Still, because the buzz as a handset straddling the band amid what are currently advised the average and top tiers of smartphones, the Ascend P1 has affluence to offer.

Moving on, the buzz sports an 8MP rear camera with auto-focus and flash. It is able of capturing abounding HD resolution and is partnered with a front-facing camera. Huawei skimped a little with 4GB of centralized accumulator (and alone a allocation of that is accessible to the user), but a microSD agenda aperture helps to supplement any shortages. Huawei has gone with a row of three capacitive Android buttons as against to Ice Cream Sandwich’s software versions, and for some acumen they accumulate Gingerbread’s calendar of Menu/Home/Back rather than Back/Home/Multi-tasking.

Overall, achievement was solid and reliable. Array activity assorted with abundant use, but the buzz is able of demography you from aurora to dusk on a individual charge. Audio during calls was bright and Dolby Adaptable 3.0 Plus complete enhancements ring accurate admitting a appealing loud and able rear speaker.

Software

Huawei has done something adequately different with their accomplishing of Android 4.0. Like a lot of manufacturers, a custom derma is present on top of Android, admitting it isn’t as advancing or extensive as that of added companies. The lock awning offers quick admission to apps like the camera or dialer, while the “3D Home” provides an activated carousel of homescreens and customizable launcher. Dropping down the notification area reveals a set of toggles for assorted functions like WiFi and GPS, a affection that is bound acceptable accepted in custom Android interfaces.

The adorableness of Huawei’s user experience, however, is the adeptness to bound attenuate it. It takes two curtains to do so by acute the card key and again acute “2D Home.” As if by magic, we are greeted with a absolutely banal attending at Ice Cream Sandwich. A few customization persist, such as the toggles in the notification pane, but contrarily you acquisition the aforementioned adaptation of Android you adeptness see on the Google-branded Galaxy Nexus.
