The HP Slate 7 is a 7-inch Android 4.1 tablet that was announced on February 24, 2013, and started shipping in April 2013.[2] It has a stainless-steel frame, black front, and gray or red soft-touch back.[1] A key feature of this small tablet is the microSDHC slot. It is HP's second Android device (the Photosmart eStation C510 printer contained an Android tablet that lacked Google Services).[3]

In December 2013, HP released the HP Slate7 Plus, HP Slate7 Extreme, HP Slate8 Pro and HP Slate10 HD and those four ran Android 4.2.2.[4]
