HP Slate 7 - User Reviews

  • Still dismayed by HP Special Beats Edition (Slate 7 embedded with NVIDIA graphics). The touch screen is useless.

  • I own HP Slate 7 Beats Special Edition and almost a year all I can say is totally bananas. The Nvidia-power graphics chip set has revealed its true meanings. Games look great on this tablet -- EXCEPT one thing: the touch screen is hopeless! Just 5 minutes of using this red color tablet with two speakers then calamity happens. No reaction comes from the screen. No matter how hard you press your fingers on the screen, no feedback from it! Hey, HP, what a great game you are playing with your customers! Trying to trick us with printing Nvidia and Beats on your product.

  • Can i charge my slate7 with common mobile charger

  • My battery is going wrong now..can i change the battery? If ever do you have a battery for sale for hp slate 7

  • This thing just keeps on going, my sister gave me it after her 3 years with it and it does what it needs to do and it has beats audio

  • I put 32GB card in mine all I ever got from the external memory was apps not allowed and it didn't store. I never had any other phone or tablet get so complicated. If I wanted a new app in it I had to throw out 3 other apps. Never enough memory. Just invest in a cel where you can load it with apps, pics etc. I've had it for 3 years I wouldn't pay more than 40 for it now.

  • i have a slate7 2600 i put a sd card in the sd slot and the card went right on in to the table now it is floating around in the tablet ,do you know if there is so pose to be a sd unit that holds the sd card in this model

  • Hi, Naveen. I got the same problem! Now I realize that HP is a great company for producing printers, computers --BUT NOT TABLETS! Same confusion, now what should I do with my HP Beats Special Edition? I think I will use it as an expensive cockroach killer. Hit. Hit!

  • My just 18 months old HP10 1901 model tab has got problem in mother board. Their service engineers are advising me just throw it since there no guarantee for replacement of mother board. Who I going to give my hard earned money of 12,000/-? Hollow, CEO of HP gives me money? It is a shame on the part of HP. Heven's sake pl'don't buy any product of HP

  • Considering it has pretty much the best Android OS ever made and it is small enough to fit in you're hands and type both way, I would say that for the price and quality of HP. That this is one of the best tablets to buy at this price. I haven't owned my own, but I would definitely buy one now that I have used one.

  • I bought this tablet as it was new but reduced and I was told it was the charger and had been fixed . but it isn't, it's the battery and it is not even going for 100 minutes... HP has done something to it, serviced it but the battery is still as bad as it was. Don't touch it if you want reliability for more than an hour!

  • Very bad battery, it only lasts for 100 mins

  • How can i transfer my data into memory card? I tried to find out any option but i didn't get it....

  • I cannot get dialer in my tab and cannot make a call..why is this happening . plz fix this as fast as u can...I am waiting for suggestions

  • i had a hp slate 7. Lastest all of 1 year now need to bin. I stopped charging suddenly.

  • battery won't take a charge anymore.So I guess that I'll just toss it

  • The battery on my Slate 7 is horrendous. If I leave it on standby, it'll lose 20-30% in the period of 2-4 hours (it depends). Because of that, my on screen times have been

  • Its good... But not as good as I expected.. My HP slate 7 speaker become worst....

  • How to start screen rotation function?its an average tab.bit slow and normal touch.battery time is good though.can't do multitask actually.5/10

  • The HP Slate 7 is extremely disappointing. My first one failed to take a charge and after numerous attempts to resolve, they finally replaced it with a Slate 7 Beats Special Edition. So, now the tablet, although upgraded, constantly freezes on me and I have to reboot it several times to get it to work right. It also sometimes goes from full battery to no battery in 8 hours when I haven't used it at all in that time period. I do not recommend this tablet. Spend a little more and get a better name.

  • One year +month or two old Slate 7 Plus. Display auto-rotation malfunction couple of days and suddenly, in use, on my lap, a snap-sound, puff, some smoke, and that was the story of the HP tablet. Hammer fix. Good bye HP.

  • I want to by this tablet,can you tell me your oppinions about this hp?

  • I purchased 3g version but it is not making calls but when I purchased the sales person said I can make calls with it. another thing I still do not know how to load data bundle

  • 10 hours and the battery be full

  • I purchased a hpslate7, my first tablet purchase, and after a few months, the battery stopped taking a charge, and so i got in touch with hp customer service, Ad they instructed me in what to do, what information to fax, where to send the unit, the del I needed to do, and I did it, expecting to ever see my property or a refurbished similar replacement unit shipped to me. It never arrived, and after a suitable time, I tried to get into contact with hp. I talked to one person who could not find any information about my situation, finally assuring me that a 'supervisor' would contact me within 4 hours. Never happened. My email address, allegedly unique on the planet, was no help to them in identifying who I was or what my issue was. They got my $130, and a slate7 to sell another time.

  • Regarding HP Slate 7..Battery is getting drain very fast and it become heat while charging.No flash and touch screen is average. But overall look and feel is good if the above can compromise.

  • itis a very good tablet it slow down only when you download a big file from laptop and i recommend this tablet for any one think to bye one

  • very poor sound. hangs and slows down if you run more than two softwares. some inbuilt applications are not uninstallable. poor performance. screen resolution is very poor. not value for money.

  • Yes it can. All you need to do is download 'file manger' in play store.

  • How do I get the software to make phonecall on hp slate 7

  • Damn HP! Cannot transfer data within internal and external phone memory! Biggest bug,, will never buy HP again

  • no it's Wifi only

  • In the settings there is an option ' data on 2G only'. It is a common sense that instead it should have been 'data on 3G network only'. And I am talking about Indian version of the Hp slate 7 voice tab.

  • I m new to HP slate7.I've installed rocket dialer bt it doesn't work at all. What to do now??how do u use it for voice calling??

  • OK, so if this slate 7 with tmobuike data connect cannot be used as a mobile device why did T-Mobilegive me a phone number and why is it I can rreceive text/ SMS mesages sentto that number but cannot reply to tthem? When I first got this tablet therwe was an app installed called "messenger" with a red icon. When iI tried to start it I got a message about hangouts taking this apps place. Problem is hangouts has nonsms capabilities on this tablet so I can't send text msg, but if the tablet is not capable how come I can receive them? Think we aregetting screwed by google. Again.

  • The sim card slot is only for data usage(Internet usage only).So it cannot be used as a calling tablet.Hope this is useful.

  • how do you use it as a mobile device as well coz mine does not have a dialer but has a sim card slot

  • Had my hard drive hacked in just 3 months and wanted to get a new security system for my computer and they wanted to charge me $200 dollars after just buying it 3 months ago. I have to say that ill be looking for a new brand of computer because i think that the tech service that i tried talking to were very rude. Wouldnt recommend it to anyone. Ive had enough!!!.,,They STINK!!!

  • yes easily you can make calls...

  • can you make calls with this gadget?

  • There are 2 speakers in the tab. Top and bottom speakers. The tab I bought has this problem where the bottom speaker started sounding buzzy. As if the speaker has gone faulty. It will buzz on songs with high notes. I thought it must be the problem with the song. So I tested the same with other songs and the same problem persisted. I tested it by keeping the phone on speaker mode while receiving calls and the same problem surfaced. I went to the dealer and he gave me idiotic solutions that its because of the poor quality of network or the poor quality of songs. I went to the HP service centre in Rajouri garden and asked the people to test it. They verified that the piece if faulty. So, before buying, please ensure that the speakers are OK. The touch and features are like any other Android tab. So, i returned it to the seller and got myself a nokia lumia 1320 and its been a week and pretty satisfied with its performance and quality.

  • One of the best tablet I got it just for 399sar value for money really. I an 9 th greader best for gaming good for surfing

  • what kind of Graphics does it have

  • This is the worse tablet ever. After two months of our not connecting to the Internet, constantly freezing and having to wait for the battery to die in order for it to switch off I sent it back. When it was returned it had the same issues. Sent it back again only for them to say it had a cracked screen so came out of warranty and I'd need to pay £196 to fix it to get it back in warranty. I'm so annoyed as I know it was never cracked when I sent it but it my word against there's.

  • I have HP Slate 7 and I think its great,if you want something to do social media or games on its very good,if those people that are complaining about it,just remember it's only a tablet not a laptop or pc.If you cannot do your work at your office you shouldn't be employed at your job

  • This is my first tab, Honestly its awesome compared to those shity brands, I buy quality, not crap & this is really good for its price, HP is a trusted brand!

  • It's and excellent Tab. I just bought it. It's really awesom

  • It�s nice tab, great for internet and games,great specification with good price.

  • its awsum in use.

  • I like it but its only cripple is a big problem,no sim card,can't make fon calls....

  • Its really good considering the price & HP brand,I love it,good for watching videos and playing games.

  • I got the HP Slate 7 for Christmas and I love it. The only thing wrong with it would be the battery life is shorter compared to other tablets. I use it for both college work and social use and it work perfectly. I recently purchased a micro sd memory card which is working perfectly with the device!!! Brilliant and I love it - offering some features which other big tablets such as the IPad's do not offer. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a tablet with only a small budget...

  • Good

  • it depends on how you use the device.just remind you dont use the device while it is on charge.

  • it depends on your micro sd card if it is comapatible. i think the only compatibe is 8 gb to lower.

  • Dude either you are spreading lies or you bought a knock-off device. I don't know if making knock-off tablets is a reality but i have this tablet for close to two months now and nothing you have said holds water. Nothing is valid from your comment. And you took it to be fixed and they told you that the device is no good? It's HP these guys design computers for a living... Anyhow i have a problem of my own. The battery runs out to quickly. I have to get it to be checked out.

  • Do not buy this. I have this one,my device get stuck when micro sd is inside,I can't open the gallery, APPs cant be instaled on sd card. I turn on my device and when I get message on Gmail-device get stuck and I must restart him :/ The service say : is not software,device is not good

  • Do I need sd card to download games from WiFi?

  • m planning to root my hp slate 7 but it scares me and i dont want to brick my tab. Just waiting for a safest way to root it and step by step tutorial to root it.

  • and if you want to bring or edit your documents just download smart office 2 on apkmania. This is what im using on my hp slate 7 but there are any other document viewer.

  • im using hp slate 7 if any one have a problem on battery just download DU BATTERY SAVER PRO on apkmania put it on trickle charge then choose your saver mode.

  • if you want a video player try archos video player you can download it on apkmania and dont forget to download the archos codec in google play so any videos can play even in hd format.

  • don't spend your money on a waste if you have 130 euro just put another 50 euro and buy tablet you'll never through it away after 2 days the biggest con is the battery >> very long time to charge >> drains toooo fast maybe less than 4 hours

  • It's really a great tablet considering the price,just love it,all the games run smoothly downloads games &applications real fast,videos are a treat to watch on this,battery back up is also good.

  • how can use the internet without wi-fi? can i use usb?

  • just turn ur slate horizontaly and ur cam wil be fine

  • I am using skype but front camera is showing me to the other person upside down, what to do?

  • you have to download ES File Explorer File Manage from google store

  • how do you view documents saved in sd card??? please advice

  • it lag with 16 giga or 32 giga - but with 8 giga or less its cool - try another card it may be your unit and i think that the class of momery card play apart try class 10 it is fastest.

  • Overall its awesome. Barley lages and its nice UI is cool but one major problem is the battery, without exaggeration the battery lasts less than 24hrs (NO USAGE AT ALL +WIFI CLOSED +MINIMUM BRIGHTNESS) which is very disappointing and awful

  • Can anyone tells me why it hangs up when sd card is in????????????

  • HP will have more success when they make a 14 inch tablet with these specs: 1.Display.- 14 inch - IGZO 2.Memory.- 3-4 GB RAM 3.Camera.- Rear And front 2 MP And led 4.Chipset.- MediaTek MT6592 5.CPU.- OCTA-core 2GHz 6.GPU.- Mali-450 MP

  • Hi,friends.Frankly speaking,it,s an affordable inexpensive budget economical tablet for the children and present!But no expectations of a high or mid-range tablets from it expected!!This is as far as I can write and wish and hope the better works from the hp!!!?Good luck and thanks to all+gsm!

  • Is this device has an usb on the go features?please help thanks

  • that's fascinating tablet .

  • i love it

  • Working great i tried it

  • This need hier android version i think 4.2.2

  • log''''low specs

  • Two issues with this device. 1, it seems to suffer from a delay when pressing power button from standby, and a prolonged wait until screen comes to life. Not sure if a hardware or jellybean issue. Also, many apps, that Do work if side loaded to device....eg Bingo Bash are deemed incompatible from Google Play with Slate 7. The screen is very dim and yellwish. It has a good chipset though, and is speedy. But put it next to the now aged Samsung 7 tab 2, and still that device with only a 1Gb dual core chip is still much better to use and close in price. I think HP should stick to printers, this bargain basement tablet....even at a low price just does not cut the mustard. It has so much potential, but in daily use is not for me.

  • it doesn't have sim , u can't make calls through it

  • I LUV this tablet!!! For price it totally rocks! I did NOT want to spend fortune & wanted more workspace than my small Huaweii phone. This is a tablet, so if you want a phone GET a phone. Download apps/programs from Google Play or internet. Yes, HP Slate 7 only does wifi. Skype is no problem. I have an external SD inserted & put videos, 100s of ebooks, & music on it that I can view with "Aldiko" or "VLC" vs "MX Player". I also installed "Android File Manager" which lets me copy and paste items between internal, external SDs, and the download file. No, you cannot move apps to SD card but no need, there is lots of space. This is a beautiful, sturdy, perfectly sized tablet for multi-purpose use & BETTER DESIGNED & PRICED than many book readers. I have tons of apps & also work on this tablet. Funny enough - before I was even looking for a tablet, my large screen desktop Compaq was about to die & I ended up getting a better quality, newer model large screen HP desktop for less than I payed for the Compaq years ago!! Maybe I should look to the HP Pre phone next once my phones dies too! Can't believe how many spoiled, complaining people (chasing expensive hype too) when majority of world are so poor they would kill to have gadgets like this. NO gadget will give you 100% everything!!! So look for your specific needs. For anyone who wants an elegant & functional tablet at good price - this is it. Great QUALITY for the price. HP Slate is rock solid. Thank you HP.

  • cannot make a videocall on facebook to laptap or computers...

  • When i the slate 7 releasing in india

  • fun fact: the display pixels aren't square as you'd expect.

  • This tablet is very good and a performer but we have some issues with the front camera which don't work and the primary camera(Back) giving blurred images.Again, the battery life is not five hours as HP put it to be.The Beat audio does not bring in big deal and still, the prices does not much the service.. Anyway, its good for starters..

  • i want the hp fone how will i make my payment

  • "Slate7 is a Good device perfect todo almost everything." Pros Slate7 has Good speed and behavior in general. Sound is very good. Cons The only could be for Slate7 a better screen resolution but paying much more than what you'd pay for slate7. Screen is good enough for productivity, reading emails, books, games, etc. Summary People comparing Slate7 this device with Nexus are going wrong in that way. If you'd like HP to release another tier device request or claim that but do not compare. This device concentrates effort in good process and functionalities for day to day productivity tasks and collaboration. Sound is very good and screen covers its function properly. If you use your tablet to record videos, taking pictures or you are obsesed with having the latest screen technology the you have to look for another tier of table and expend more money.

  • Great tablet but cannot get video calling to work :(

  • no it doesnt, its a wifi device only, terrible

  • Just purchased the HP slate 7, brilliant tablet for £129. Does exactly what it says on the tin. For anyone wanting a tablet that you can browse the internet, take pictures, record, enjoy numerous free apps its an affordable practical tablet. High speed and a particularly pretty model. Would recommend to anyone :-)

  • Does it use sim card

  • it has RK3066 SoC so, MALI 400 MP4.

  • What is the GPU?

  • what is the spped of GPU in HP Slate 7?

  • it has wi-fi connection you can connect wireless and use taljkaton and gogle voice and u will have a perfect phone and sms service. google is available only in usa but if you have a friend in usa he can open u a free google account. talkatone also isa free app

  • man, this slate is what i was looking for, have a lower specs than nexus 7, but wait man nexus 7 in indonesia is way to expensive and only available in 32 gigs the 16 gigs storage version in here is rare

  • well i don't think u know, but if u root the device and partition sd card, u can use it as internal storage.i have a very old android mobile which came with 200mb of internal storage and now it has 2 gb of free storage out of 4 gb (a 16gb class10 sd card). so internal memory is not an issue

  • how can we access internet services on this device ????tell me plz.. is this device has 3g dongle support ???

  • Is this device has usb slot for pen drives ????? To insert pd direct in usb slot...plz tell me...

  • Video review. This tablet doesn't look good.

  • Yup i knw nexus 7 has lot better specs than this one with some limitation but dude m from india n nexus 7 lot more expensive in india. No rear cam n sd card slot is real big disadvantge thn slightly low resolution which is hardly matters in real time usage. I can live with dual core as m not hardcore gamer. Lets bring hp this tab in india with reasonable price.

  • yes you can do videocall. you just need to install skype.. thats it.

  • Can I make the video call by Viber or Skype with it?

  • SD slot will not guarantee anything as device nowadays suffer lack of internal memory space....you can move movies or music to SD card but some app can't be moved to SD card by itself and rooting are not free and easy as Lite user.

  • Same here. At least make it call capabilities so buy it with meaningful....

  • Bro first things you should know about affordable tablet is.... 1) either be High spec Gaming with no calling or Low spec with calling. So HP slate 7 ? 2) HP slate 7 spec have lower spec then nexus 7 which is $169:$199 price differently. Seriously ? 3) HP slate 7 with no call capabilities with internal 8Gb have micro slot and low display 170ppi although The spec beat samsung tab2 7.0 and can't beat the nexus 7 powerful spec with Corning gorilla protection.

  • External micro sd card up to 32gb

  • I like HP products. I also like this HP Slate7. But there are a couple of things which this gadget lack, which:- (1) it is not able to make phone calls and (2) the back camera does not have an auto-focus lens which is very important to support a low 3-mp camera. If HP add these two features in this Slate 7, I am going to buy it.

  • Its not cell phone its tablet and still better specs thn galaxy tab 2 p311. Get a life !! Dont post anything if dnt abt it. Only weird guy like u use tablet for calling.

  • I am very regular user of HP products from the last several years.I think this is new arrival with outdated specs. Mean while there are so many cell phones have more specs then SLATE 7. The management R&D should think about this product which will face big competition in the market.

  • It is not the size of the Dog in the Fight it is the Fight in the Dog. - HP is 'top heavy' in perception of "COMPETITION", stinks of fore gone conclusions, answering the concept of fore gone conclusions with myopic analysis of product specifications. = A "Dead Horse" HP whishes to daily beat with shame as it trudge down the road of 'salvation' using antiquated marketeer projection{s} being foscilized. - HP once a Icon within the realm of computer science, marketing, employee Respect, now will swrill into the vortex of the East Coast "Smoke Stack Mentalit" as in Buffalo, New York State Automotive Industry. - HP is done a "dog chacing a parked automobile" - Be Well

  • explicitly stated on this page that there's no gsm support for this tablet. No mention of CDMA support either. its screen resolution is also outdated more than 2 years at least, I suspect longer. HP is so behind the times. I agree with niceguy's post, HP really doesn't seem to know what exactly to do. Even if its probably the cheapest tablet out from a well-known company, I seriously doubt this is going to be a hot seller.

  • "Non-removeable battery" I assume this means that, like the Philips toothbrush, you have to buy a new one every year or so?

  • Looks good. Got to try it out.

  • Same to u

  • gud

  • Held and tried it for around 20 minutes. The one with red backcover attracts attention than the grey one. Solid performer with Jelly bean OS. Nice and crisp screen with 1024x600 resolution. Mostly, it has stock apps but with audio on streoid (beats audio). I'm getting one in adition to my mobile device for mobile reviewing docs as it's quite light and thin. Some people may think of having SIM card would be useful. But mostly, I'm the kind of person who would go for simplicity with a pocket wifi driven by 2,700mAh battery to power my whole day connection of my mobile and notebook. Thin enough to slip into my pocket. Then it would be enough to connect the Slate 7 to the world later on, once I receive the unit. I reckon it will save the battery consumption too. Expecting it to arrive soon. Just can't wait.

  • with out no SIM support most of the people not interested . If you include SIM fecility most of the want to buy and use it as a phone and it increases the sales also.Because it is avilable middle class people.

  • Sad to HP, it seems they don't know exactly what to do. Killing web os, now making android tablets, for what? dump it later?

  • I WILL WAIT FOR THIS TAB TO REACH THE PHILIPPIE SHORES.. I wonder how long that would take if it is expected to be released this April? hmmmm..

  • this tablet is cheap...

  • They should include auto-focus for the low 3.15 mega pixel camera. They should also have 3G capability which is useful for the users. Most gadgets have such capabilities currently. Without these two items included is a setback.

  • Is this a phone? NO. Just a low cost tablet PC, I suppose.

  • with so many Android tablets available why buy this from HP? if it had webOS yes, they will sell a few then abandon it, as the Touchpad was, i have and use a Touchpad everyday and prefer it to my Android tablet any day,

  • why is HDMI a "Key Feature"? if you want to use something on your TV, buy a DVD/blueray player, it will probably be cheaper

  • its a nice phone. i really like it

  • How about including 3g and hdmi output even if it comes at an expense of extra 20 bucks. Keeping low cost by compromising key features is not a good strategy.

  • Include HDMI port pls.

  • Increase the Talk time up to 12 hrs.by increasing battery size.

  • Als include wav files Mp3 Player in this device.

  • Seems to be sound. Considering the built of past portables from HP, this offer looks good and Good Value for money.

  • Seems to be sound. Considering the built of past portables from HP, this offer looks good and Good Value for money.

  • Seems to be copy of HP Touchpad..which is having the same drawbacks...No SIM, No External Card...etc

  • if u get to buy ipad in same amount of money will u still complain about no SIM card? Or memory slot apple dont even bother about?

  • all these things are just money making skeems. google play doesnt allow me to download any of the high end games but i still get them and play them. this tablet is nice for the price and has all that it needs so just stop complaining all of you.

  • what is wrong with you people these days? when a company releases something new you all start comparing it to the best of some other companies. if you want an ipad get am ipad if not get whatever you want. Any way you guys are just stupid fad followers, cause there is just not much difference between all the android and ios operating systems, they just change numbers 2.2,2.3,4.0.4.1 etc domt you see you guys. i bought a galaxy mini 2 years ago and play nearly all the games on the s2 and sony ericson experia play all i do is use bluetooth file transfer and have the games sent to mine and they work without any lag issues. hey guys just think and be enginuitive sometimes hey.

  • i dont know about this h/s

  • I wonder where you got to check the display to comment so confidently :)

  • love this it will be better than the ipad ! team hp !

  • is there sim card option

  • I wonder how many units HP can sell this? Bad display, bad resolution, bad spec. Price ain't nice also.

  • about competing with nexus 7 is can't even compare to tab 2

  • At $169, you expect a sim as well? Wake up dude

  • They do not mention about GPU in MWC 2013 yesterday ?

  • It's awesome ,It's HP It will make GSM version available soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yuck....no sim means no mobility. Total waste of money.

  • It should have had calling and 2g and 3g connectivity as well
