HTC Flyer review

 

Can HTC's 7-inch Android tablet reach the dizzy heights of the brand's smartphone range?

Excellent build quality ; Bright, vibrant screen ; Unique pen option

Too expensive ; Not Android 3.0 ; Poor battery life

HTC has always stood out among the raft of Android phone manufacturers. The company's been partnering with Google since the start, but still forges its own style, which has won it a lot of fans.

HTC Flyer: Hands-on - Pocket-lint

 

The HTC Flyer picks up on HTC's now-familiar unibody design. That means the body is machined and formed from a single piece and then all assembled. The

HTC Flyer Review: In Depth

 

The Flyer is HTC's debut Android tablet and one that stands defiantly out from the current crop of tabs. Sporting a 7-inch screen, the HTC Flyer doesn't come with the huge screen real estate of…

Review: HTC Flyer 7" inch 16GB WiFi tablet

 

At first glance, one could find many things wrong with the HTC Flyer WiFi tablet. It runs a non-tablet version of Android, it uses a single-core Snapdragon processor, its screen is only 7" inches wide and it has a $80 digital pen that works mostly on...

HTC Flyer 7in Android tablet

 

Review The arrival of a tablet from HTC, the company that has run the furthest and fastest since picking up the Android ball was always going to be something of a Big Deal but in some ways the new Flyer is a surprisingly odd fish.

In a nutshell, very good but very expensive sums up the Flyer. HTC clearly thinks it can now charge a premium for its devices and adapter cables – a policy I take issue with no matter what the brand or logo. Still, if you have the money you won’t be...

A customised Android Gingerbread tablet with bags of style

Design, unique stylus, battery life, high quality screen

Can't make phone calls, no HMDI

at making a tablet is the Flyer, a 7in slate with some interesting features. We took a look at the device to see if it's just an oversized smartphone or something more.

HTC Flyer

 

Launched at February's Mobile World Congress, the Android-toting Flyer is HTC's first attack on the quickly-expanding tablet market.

Adopting a similar form factor to the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the HTC Flyer sports a 7 inch 1024 x 600 capacitive touchscreen. It's not your average display however, as HTC has equipped the tablet with its very own "Active Stylus", for on screen doodling...

HTC Flyer preview

 

The main differentiating point of Android tablets is the size of the display. The HTC Flyer has a 7in screen with a resolution of 1024x600, which makes it much smaller than the Apple iPad and the rumoured, upcoming iPad 2.

The Flyer looks like it will be small and light, with a decent screen and some interesting build touches. However, the decision to go with Android 2.4 Gingerbread, instead of the tablet-optimised version Honeycomb, is a bizarre oversight. It remains to...

HTC Flyer review

 

HTC confirmed the its first tablet device, the HTC Flyer, at MWC 2011. The device, which features a 7-inch 600x1024 pixel LCD display, does not launch on Google's tablet-specific iteration of , Honeycomb.

Lots of storage

Expensive, small screen, chunky design

The HTC Flyer is under-specced and over-priced and although it has its merits, these are outweighed by the negatives

HTC Flyer video review

 

THE FIRST ATTEMPT by the Taiwanese phone maker HTC to put out a tablet is the Flyer, which runs a customised version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread rather than Android 3.X Honeycomb

The HTC Flyer tablet is a well made and stylish bit of kit and it packs a performance punch, too. A 1.5GHz processor along with 1GB of RAM and 32GB of storage make for smooth operaton
