Dell is touting the Venue 8 7000 series as the world’s thinnest tablet, and it might just hold that title at the moment at a razor thin profile of 6.0mm. For comparison, the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact comes in at around 6.4mm and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S is at around 6.6mm. For a tablet that features multiple back cameras and an 8.4-inch OLED screen, this is indeed quite thin.
Japanese tech blog “Blog of Mobile” has revealed that it has seen Dell’s announcement that the ultra-sleek tablet will start shipping by end of November. The announcement was reportedly found in the pages of a Dell voucher.
The tablet will be sporting a quad-core Intel Atom Z3500 Moorefield processor which works in tandem with a PowerVR G6430 graphics chip. As we have mentioned, the display will be an 8.4-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2560x1600. At the back, there will be 3 cameras which will work under Intel’s RealSense Snapshot technology – kind of like how HTC provides more details by using multiple cameras.
The tablet is expected to be available first in the US market, with the pricing information still not available at this point. If Dell wants this tablet to compete, then the pricing should at least be reasonable. Anything exorbitant and most consumers would probably get turned off.
