ZTE Light Tab 2 hands-on: another 7-inch phone to stuff your generous pocket

Following the likes of Samsung’s original Galaxy Tab , here’s an extra option for fans of comically-sized phones: the ZTE Light Tab 2, an obvious follow-as much as the unique Light . As a matter of fact, this 7-inch Android 2.3.5 slate was announced back in June and was expected to launch around October, however the ZTE folks here at Mobile Asia Congress still couldn’t make clear its actual availability (pun intended). It sure makes one wonder whether any carrier’s picked up this tablet.

Anyhow, here’s the lowdown: the 12.6mm-thick package comes with a 1024 x 600 non-IPS LCD and a capacitive touchscreen, garnished with a 1.4GHz Qualcomm single core chip, 4GB of ROM, 512MB of RAM, a zero.3 megapixel front-facing camera, a three.2 megapixel imager at the back, a generous 3,400mAh battery and, after all , 14.4Mbps HSDPA connection that supports voice call. Despite the soon-obsolete OS version, the UI response at the new Light isn’t bad in any respect, and the body felt solid. Examine our quick hands-on video after the break.

Alternatively, there’s also the 7-inch Froyo-powered T72 tablet (yes, Froyo) featuring an “iOS-like UI.” Seriously, that was what we read at the spec sheet ! Again, we couldn’t get a date out of ZTE, but be happy to try this shameless device after the break, in case you must.
