CES 2013: Archos debuts four more tablets under the Titanium series

The Archos product development department must have been working some serious overtime recently, as the company revealed four new tablets at CES 2013 on top of the two they showed off earlier.

The Titanium line seems to be the Platinum’s little brothers, coming in dual-core CPU and quad-core GPU variants, rather than the quad-core CPU and eight-core GPU behemoths which power the Platinum tablets. The dual-core processor will be clocked at 1.6GHz, but there’s no information on how much power will be packed into the graphics chip yet. All four devices which make up the Titamium family will come with 1080p video decoding, multitouch screen support, Android 4.1 and Archos Media Center applications installed as default.

The only dividing factor between these four tablets is the difference in screen sizes. The Archos 70 Titanium will be a 7-inch tablet priced at $119 and aimed at taking down the likes of the Kindle Fire. Then there’s the 8-inch Achros 80, which Archos claims it offers a similar user experience to the iPad mini. There’s no denying that it certainly looks the part, and for the price it will surely give Apple a run for the money.

Archos also has larger 10.1- and 9.7-inch Titanium variations priced at $199 and $249 respectively. The extra price tag attached to the Achros 97 Titanium HD comes from the inclusion of a higher resolution display, which packs 2048 x 1536 pixels into the screen, just like the iPad.

The press release doesn’t mention when we will be seeing these tablets hit the shelves, but hopefully they’ll arrive in March, around the same time as the Platinum series.
