WebOS HP Tablet Topaz Specs Revealed

Topaz HP Tablet powered by a Qualcomm MSM 8660 processor, which clocks in at 1.2 GHz and features two scorpion cores within it. The Snapdragon-based processor has 2D/3D acceleration engines and support for 1080p video and integrated GPS. Following an earlier leak of the HP webOS tablet, codenamed Topaz, leak, we now have information on some of the user interface.

Aside from a resolution of 1024 x 768 and three storage options of 16, 32, or 64GB, the webOS tablet will pack 512 MB of DDR2 RAM, Bluetooth 2.1, and a front-facing, 1.3-megapixel camera for video chat.

The 9-inch screen of the webOS tablet will be behind Gorilla Glass and only three physical buttons will be present on the device: a power button, and volume up and down buttons. Resets and hard-resets will be performed by holding down a combination of the buttons, and the device will also feature the webOS’s notification light.

The feature of Beats Audio was also mentioned in the documentation, and supposedly may be added to the existing branding on the device, which will sport both HP and Palm logos.

The tipster who initially leaked the details claims that the price range for the webOS tablet will be on the lower end, somewhere around $400 after carrier subsidies. Information about a release date is still unknown, but presumably an official reveal of the device somewhere down the road will shed some light on this remaining detail.

The tablet, which is expected to feature webOS, is targeted at Apple iPad in terms hardware and software. The prototype picture mentions a “Slate (Keyboardless “tablet”).

Topaz uses integrated Adreno 220 GPU as graphics whereas Apple iPad uses PowerVR SGX 535 GPU as its graphics. HP’s tablet has a 9.7-inch XGA 1024 x 768 display which is similar to Apple iPad specification.

According to some resources on internet, HP will release 2 tablets at once in this year. We got some leaking photos of their tablets, Topaz and Opal are names of them. Both of them based on WebOS operating systems.
