Today EE has introduced its first tablet which it calls the “UK’s most affordable 4G tablet”. The Eagle slate joins the Kestrel smartphone which the network launched back in March this year.
The Eagle is CAT-4 enabled giving the opportunity to take advantage of EE’s superfast 4G internet connection. The slate is an 8-inch device with a quad-core processor inside. There’s a 5MP camera on the back of the device as well as 16GB of memory in-built and microSD support to get it up to 32GB.
Huawei is producing the tablet which looks quite similar to the Huawei MediaPad and more specs will be supplied soon.
The Eagle will be available on pay as you go for £199 from May 28 in the UK. You’ll also be able to get it for a one-off cost of £49.99 on £15 pay monthly 4G tariffs which supply 2GB of data.
EE also unveiled 3 more 4G products to add to its range including the Buzzard, the Kite and the Osprey. With an ever expanding 4G service the company wants to offer it to as many people as possible and make it the mainstream.
A representative for EE revealed May 2014 was the first month more people took out 4G contracts than 3G contracts on the network. EE is looking for a 1000% increase on the amount of 4G data used by 2018, a big jump in just 4 years, so it has loads of new products to help it do it.
The Buzzard is a 4G hotspot designed for use in the car with an in-car power socket. It creates a 4G wireless signal for up to 10 different devices and is designed to sit inside your cup holder.
EE created the product with the aim of keeping the younger generation mobile and entertained whilst on car journeys. It’s available from £10 a month with a £19 up front fee. It’s also available on pay as you go for £49.99.
The Kite from EE is designed for busy professionals and is a 4G hotspot which can slip into your suit pocket or handbag with ease. It’s available for £10 per month with an up from £29 fee or it’s £69.99 on pay as you go.
Last from EE is the Osprey which is a durable 4G hotspot designed for the younger generation. EE calls it a “secure and practical alternative to public WiFi” with a colourful and durable design to survive drops and falls.
It’ll be available in two colour variations, aqua with white or black paired with yellow. The Osprey is available from £10 a month with a £19 up front fee or you can also pick it up for £49.99 on pay as you go.
