Verdict

The HP Slate 8 Plus is a compact 8-inch Android tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 pixel IPS display and an elegant, slim aluminium-clad design. It is powered by a 1.6GHz quad-core HiSilicon Balong V9R1 processor paired with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD slot. Its primary strengths include integrated 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity with voice calling support, a relatively high-capacity 4800mAh battery for extended browsing, and a 5MP rear camera for essential photography. However, it is limited by its older Android version (4.2.2 Jelly Bean) and the 1GB of RAM, which can result in performance lag during heavy multitasking or intensive gaming.
