The Hisense Sero 7 LT and Sero 7 PRO (which is Tegra 3-powered) are now available at Walmart for $99, and $149, respectively.
If you’re on a tight budget and you want an Android tablet with decent specs, Hisense’s two new offerings, set to be available at Walmart starting today, might be just your cup of tea.
Hisense, a company known best for its Pulse Google TV device, as well as for building Smart TVs, makes a move into the tablet market with the new Sero 7 LT and Sero 7 Pro devices.
The most interesting of the pair is certainly the Hisense Sero 7 PRO, which offers you Tegra 3 performance at a price of $149. The 7-inch tablet’s specs also include 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. The memory may not be much, but you can use the microSD slot to pop in a card.
The Hisense Sero 7 PRO’s 7-inch IPS display has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels; a 5 megapixel rear camera and 2 megapixel front one complete the spec sheet. The tablet runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, promises 10 hours of battery life and, at that price, it sounds like a real bargain.
But if the Sero 7 Pro is still too expensive for you, you can always get its lower-speced brother, the Sero 7 LT, marketed by Hisense as an “introduction of technology to a young child”, at $99 (at least you won’t feel too bad if it ends up in pieces).
The Sero 7 LT has a 7-inch display, too, but the resolution is just 1024 x 600 pixels, while the CPU was downgraded to a dual-core clocked at 1.6 GHz. The RAM is still 1GB, but the internal storage was halved at 4 GB (you can use a microSD card to supplement that). The tablet also includes a 0.3 megapixel front-facing shooter and it must be mentioned that both are Google Play-certified (unlike Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD models, for example).
