Toshiba 7.7-inch mystery tablet hands-on pictures: Compact OLED beauty

Toshiba’s name was mysteriously absent from the list of MWC 2012 attendees this year, but the company did manage to discreetly show off some new hardware at Nvidia’s booth. As you might expect given the real estate, the yet-unnamed tablet runs Nvidia’s Tegra 3 processor, so it games like a champ. As you may not expect, the 7.7-inch screen is actually OLED, making it one of the larger OLED models we’ve seen along with Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 7.7 (which actually launches on Verizon today). Besides the ultra-vivid OLED screen, the 7.7-inch display size lends itself nicely to gaming since your thumbs can easily reach all parts of the screen, and it’s quite thin and lightweight. Full specs were not available, but judging by the quality of product at MWC, we’re guessing we’ll hear more from Toshiba on this one shortly.

It's also the first A-series Pixel to get a 120Hz display. But if you're wondering whether or not the Pixel 8a is waterproof, here's what you need to know.

The Google Pixel 8a is the latest and greatest in Google’s midrange A-series smartphone lineup. It costs an affordable $499, but boasts many features that make Pixel phones so popular, including great camera hardware, a Tensor G3 chip, and a 120Hz refresh rate on its 6.1-inch OLED display. All of this makes it a great option for most people who aren’t looking for cutting-edge specs.

However, you might be wondering if it comes with a headphone jack so you can use it with wired earbuds. Smartphone manufacturers have increasingly eliminated this feature in favor of pushing customers to their own line of Bluetooth earbuds and headphones. Does this also apply to the Pixel 8a? Here’s the deal.
