ZTE Unveiled 7-inches Tablet with NVIDIA Tegra 3 (Video)

The first Android tablet to don the new quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processing chip has been unveiled today at a communications expo in Beijing. The new 7-inches Android tablet is made by ZTE, the well-known company for making telecommunications equipments. It is also going to be ZTE’s first Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet and first production tablet with quad-core processor. During the unveiling, ZTE allowed local press to run some benchmarks on the new tablets …

NVIDIA promised on top of battery life improvements, and now we’ll have a chance to gauge those promises with the ZTE T98, the first Tegra 3 tablet made by the Chinese company. The processor cores are clocked at 1.3GHz, instead of 1.5GHz, possibly to be gentler on the battery life. The NVIDIA Tegra 3 powered ZTE T98 scores a 1956 in Quadrant benchmark. The rest of the specs are a 7″ display with 1280×800 pixels of resolution, thickness is 11.5mm, 1GB RAM and 16GB of internal memory, 5MP rear camera plus a 2MP front-facing unit round up the offering. It will support TD-SCDMA wireless network.

ZTE’s T98 tablet doesn’t have an official release date or price at this time, but the tablet was spotted today passing through the US FCC for approval and official FCC labels. We believe the new Android tablet will be released this fall, hope the price will not be as expensive as an iPad 2 !
