Verdict

The HP Slate 6 VoiceTab 3G is a 6-inch phablet featuring a 720p HD IPS display (1280 x 720) and full voice-calling capabilities with dual SIM support. Powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Marvell PXA1088 processor with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD), it includes a 5MP autofocus rear camera with LED flash, a 2MP front camera, and dual front-firing stereo speakers. Main pros include its slim 8.8mm profile, lightweight 160g design, and vibrant IPS screen, which make it highly portable for multimedia use. However, notable cons include mediocre overall performance with visible lag during multitasking, subpar low-light camera quality, and relatively low speaker volume during calls and media playback.
