EE Eagle swoops in to knock iPad mini off its perch

EE Eagle swoops in to knock iPad mini off its perch

EE has announced its 1st own -brand tablet in the type of the eight -inch EE Eagle, which continues the network's avian naming theme began by the Kestrel smartphone.

And like the Kestrel, EE has employed Chinese manufacturer Huawei to make the hardware, with the Eagle becoming an practically carbon copy of the firm's MediaPad M1.

That signifies you get an eight -inch 800 x 1280 show, 1.6GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, microSD slot, 5MP rear facing camera and the rather old Android 4. 2. 2 Jelly Bean OS on the Eagle from EE.

A bird in the hand is worth...

With CAT 4 LTE help under the hood the Eagle can also take benefit of EE's double speed 4G network, which need to give you speeds of around 24-30Mbps and it is expected to be accessible in 40 towns and cities by the end of 2014.

EE Eagle

EE is billing the Eagle as an iPad mini beater, with a larger resolution show, much more highly effective processor, double the RAM and a lower price tag tag.

Naturally it really is also more affordable than the iPad mini 2, but the Apple slate is a significantly stronger offering and the Eagle won't be causing it any concern.

The EE Eagle will be offered from May possibly 28 for £199.99 on PAYG or £49.99 if you commit to a £15/month two year contract which gives you 2GB of data.
