Alcatel Plus 12 Release Date, Specs News: Hybrid Tablet With Windows 10, LTE Keyboard Designed for Productivity on the Go
Alcatel recently launched the Plus 12, a two-in-one hybrid tablet designed for consumers who like to do work even while on the go. It has a sleek and modern design, which makes it perfect for professionals and it is easy to bring along everywhere due to its lightweight build.
"PLUS 12 is the latest addition to the PLUS family. With a larger screen, it delivers a great user experience. It's also super lightweight and looks fantastic," said Vittorio Di Mauro, senior vice president at Alcatel.
Featuring improvements from last year's Plus 10, Alcatel's new tablet comes with an 11.6-inch display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. It is powered by the new 1.1 GHz dual-core Intel Celeron N3350 central processing unit (CPU) with 4 GB of random-access memory (RAM) and 64 GB of built-in storage.
To ensure that all productivity tasks can be accomplished, the Alcatel Plus 12 comes with 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and Wi-Fi connectivity. Users will be able to work on documents and presentations using the 4G LTE keyboard, which doubles as a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 15 devices. Even outside the office, users can continue to communicate with colleagues via the tablet's 5-megapixel (MP) front camera, dual speakers and digital microphone.
The Alcatel Plus 12 is preinstalled with the Windows 10 operating system (OS). Documents and other important files can be kept safe and secure via Windows Hello, which enables password-free log-ins by using the fingerprint reader. Windows 10's intelligent digital assistant, Cortana, can also help users keep track of appointments, set reminders and accomplish other tasks that enhance productivity levels.
The tablet has a 6,900 mAh battery while the keyboard has a 2,580 mAh battery so the Plus 12 will be able to last all day.
When all the work has been completed, the tablet is also perfect as an entertainment device and can be used to read e-books, browse the web and stream videos.
Connectivity-wise, the hybrid tablet comes with USB-C, USB-A and micro-HDMI ports. There is also an audio jack. As such, the device can be easily turned into a mobile office by connecting an external hard drive, mouse, speakers, headphones and even a secondary screen.
Alcatel has not yet announced pricing and availability for the Plus 12 tablet.
