Back in July, alleged images of HP’s future Android tablet lineup leaked. One of the tablets in the leak was the 10 Plus. It looks like the 10 Plus turned out to be a real product, as it’s currently on sale through the company’s own website and Amazon.

The 10 Plus runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat and features a Full HD 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution screen. Powering the tablet is an ARM Cortex A7 quad-core processor clocked at 1GHz, which is paired with 2GB of RAM. Pictures taken with the 5-megapixel rear-facing and 2-megapixel front-facing cameras will be saved onto the 16GB of internal storage, though the MicroSD card slot allows for up to 32GB of extra storage. Unfortunately the 7,700mAh Li-ion polymer battery can only give the 10 Plus a meager six hours of battery life.

Interestingly, the availability of the 10 Plus was not accompanied by any sort of formal press release from HP. There was no fanfare around the tablet whatsoever, likely due to the 10 Plus’ meager specifications that are coupled with a $280 asking price.

Lenovo is adding a new Android tablet to its tablet portfolio, and this one is targeted at content consumption and classrooms. Dubbed the "Tab M11" and announced at CES 2024, the midrange tablet features an 11-inch screen with a Full HD resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels). Notably, Lenovo has put a 90Hz refresh rate screen on its budget tablet, which is a neat addition given its appeal as a reading and scribbling device.

The company is offering the Tab M11 in a trio of configurations, and once again, they play to the core use-case scenario for each buyer. The base variant combines 4GB of RAM with either 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage, which is not too shabby if you are predominantly into streaming videos.
