HTC may be looking to dip its toes back into the tablet space with a design borrowed from the company\u2019s much acclaimed\u00a0HTC One<\/a> smartphone.\u00a0The One design should give the HTC-branded tablet a premium feel, and one that may be good enough to go head-to-head with Apple\u2019s iPad and iPad mini slate, with an aluminum shell, stereo front-facing Boom Sound audio speakers, and a minimalist look. The use of a premium aluminum body construction in the tablet space has been sorely lacking in the Android camp and HTC\u2019s entry could give Android slates a design boost.<\/p>\n

Features of HTC One Tablet<\/b><\/p>\n

Little information is available right now surrounding the HTC One slate, but this would mark an expansion of the One\u2019s design language into more products. HTC had borrowed the One\u2019s premium feel on the\u00a0HTC One Mini<\/a>\u00a0and the company is also rumored to be working on a 6-inch\u00a0HTC One Max<\/a>phablet. The leaked image of the tablet shows corners that are slightly less rounded than the HTC One Max phablet, but still comes with the classic design.<\/p>\n

The HTC One tablet is believed to have a display size between 8 and 10 inches. With a larger than 7-inch display, the One would be a more premium tablet as the 7-inch category has been facing downward pricing pressures from lower cost Kindle Fire and Google Nexus 7 prices. The device would likely compete against the iPad mini at the 8-inch segment and the full sized iPad closer to 10 inches, Samsung\u2019s various Galaxy Tab 3 and Galaxy Note lines, and the\u00a0LG G Pad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The last HTC tablet was the\u00a0HTC Flyer<\/a>, the tablet was the first to come with an active digitizer using\u00a0N-Trig<\/a>\u2018s technology. HTC initially debuted its tablet before Android Honeycomb was released, the first Android OS targeted to larger screen tablets, though the Flyer later did get upgraded to the more modern Google OS. The Flyer was a premium tablet that had a unibody aluminum construction as well, though its design was slightly bulkier than the plastic slates from Samsung at that time. HTC had been rumored to be working on a Windows 8 or Windows RT tablet with Microsoft in the past.<\/p>\n\n
