HTC Flyer Tablet PC Features & Price in India

Taiwanese handset maker HTC has entered the "tablet" war in India with the launch of its "Flyer" in the country, priced at Rs 39,890. A tablet PC, though smaller in size, has PC-like functionalities.

"We saw an opportunity to create a tablet experience that is different, more personal and productive and are extremely excited to introduce the HTC Flyer in the Indian market," HTC India Country Manager Faisal Siddiqui said in a statement.

Flyer's competitors in India include the Apple iPad, Samsung's Galaxy Tab, Blackberry Playbook and the soon-to-be launched Motorola Xoom and Huawei's MediaPad.

The seven-inch touch screen tablet has a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It has 1GB of RAM and an in-built memory of 16GB and a 5-megapixel camera.

The device also has features like HTC Sense, HTC Scribe and HTC Watch, which provide a better visual, touch and movie-viewing experience to users.

Blackberry launched its Playbook last week priced at Rs 27,990 (16 GB), Rs 32,990 (32 GB) and Rs 37,990 (64 GB). The Apple iPad (priced at about Rs 29,500) and Samung Galaxy Tab (about Rs 26,000) are already available here.

Since the launch of Apple's iPad, the tablet market is witnessing huge competition, with new contenders launching their devices.

Apple's rival in the computing space, Dell had launched the "Streak" in India last year, while homegrown telecom handset makers like Spice and Olive have also launched similar devices at much lower price points.

According to analysts, sales in the tablet PC segment in India are expected to touch one million units over the next 12 months. 3G (high-speed internet services) roll out has also helped in expanding the opportunity, they said.

Ufone Launch HTC Flyer In Pakistan

I recently got a chance to review HTC first ever Android tablet which is known as HTC Flyer. It’s an amazing tablet and currently one of the best tablets available out there. It was recently launched in India and now it looks like it’s hitting our neighboring country Pakistan soon. ProPakistani is claiming that Ufone Pakistan will be launching HTC Flyer officially next week in Pakistan.

Ufone recently launched HTC Incredible S in Pakistan and now they are looking forward to launch their first ever Android tablet. Ufone will offer this tablet for around 64-65k. Ufone announced some good Android phones in past, and now they are getting ready to extend their line.

HTC has launched new Android tablet called HTC Flyer. It’s runs latest Google Android 2.4 operating system. HTC Flyer features 1.5 GHz processor, 7 inches touchscreen display, 5MP camera with front facing camera and 3G connectivity.

HTC Flyer has been priced at €669.00 at amazon.de German Amazon website. price in India is not yet been priced.

Ufone will offer the Flyer with an internet bundle e.g. free internet for 3 months. I am also in contact with HTC Pakistan and will tell you their final words so stay tuned. Anyone planning to get this from Ufone?

HTC Flyer Benchmarks

Although the device has a 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor inside, it seems underpowered. Overall system performance isn’t as snappy as, say, an NVIDIA Tegra 2 Honeycomb tablet or even Samsung’s Hummingbird processor clocked at 1.2GHz. I, of course, wanted to see if this would be reflected in benchmarks so I took it through the gauntlet and here’s what I found, starting with AnTuTu.

AnTutu – I really have no knowledge on this benchmark, but I can tell you that it took the Flyer a hell of a long time to complete. It scored 2739 when all was said and done, with most of that obviously coming from high amount of RAM (1GB) and the increased clock speed on the CPU. 2D and 3D graphics performance scores weren’t terrible, but were nothing special. The only device not overclocked that I could put it up against was the Motorola XOOM, which apparently scored a 5752 at stock 1GHz speeds. The XOOM dominated CPU performance, staying in the 1400-1900 range down the board.

Linpack – Linpack scores were impressive, but no less was expected from a Snapdragon chipset clocked at 1.5GHz. It scored an average of 56 MFLOPS, though this isn’t as impressive as it once was when Linpack first became the premier benchmark for testing CPU efficiency. Competing (single-core) overclocked to similar speeds actually produce better scores.

Neocore – Although this device doesn’t have Qualcomm’s absolute latest GPU inside, the Adreno 205 was enough to muster up exactly 50 frames per second. Neocore now seems outdated, however, with low resolution and polygon counts being a cakewalk for most GPUs. Note: The Neocore benchmark was made by Adreno Graphics, a brand of Qualcomm’s.

Nenamark 2 – Nenamark is a lot more taxing and it shows in its benchmark results. At the end of it all, 10.9 frames per second was all the Flyer could average and that low framerate was visibly noticeable throughout the benchmark.

Quadrant – 1899-2100 is what I kept scoring with Quadrant, and compared to some stock phones with supposedly weaker chipsets, this isn’t too great of a score.

Smartbench 2011 – The Flyer scored a 1495 in productivity and a 2332 for games. They’re modest scores up against competition but more powerful devices easily has it beat.

I don’t claim to know a lot about CPUs, GPUs, file system performance and the inner-workings of these benchmarks, but I just wanted to provide a bit of commentary with my findings. What drove me to try all of these in the first place was the fact that overall OS performance on the Flyer isn’t that great, a point I’ll be touching on in our official review. In the meantime, feel free to take these scores and measure the Flyer up against your own device, phone, tablet or otherwise.
