 No processor specs?  

 

Also just looking at the ram, display, and camera this must be a budget model tablet?  is that true?

Based on the bare bones specs, I smell "free tablet" with activation of a qualifying plan.

Well shoot and I was hoping that they would go all out and give us an 810 processor!  lol.

I would bet that it is not a Qualcomm SoC.  No mention of CDMA2000, right?

 

Look for a second rate processor and 3GPP baseband -- either in combo or separate.

Any new news about this tablet?  Back on September 10th, the local corporate Sprint store had just received their demo/display unit and was expecting the tablet to launch within a few days.  As of last night, the Sprint website still did not have it listed.

 

I'm thinking about picking one of these up for a family member, as long as the price is right.

The Sprint.com website now lists the Slate 8 Tablet for $10/mo on Easy Pay or $49.99 for a 2-Year agreement.

 

It also says "ALREADY A CUSTOMER? SIGN IN TO GET THE Slate 8" TABLET FOR FREE! Upgrades excluded. Req. new 2-yr. agmt./activation."  Free would be great, so long as they allow me to add it to my Family Share plan.

 

Also, the website does not list it as a Spark device, only LTE.  It could be that they just don't have all of the correct specs up there just yet.

The FCC docs support all of Sprint's frequencies so I would not assume it lacks the support.  Probably just not an updated specs page.

      Thanks for noticing the typo. AI is latest buzzword.  Mention it a lot and your stock price goes up LOL SMH. No doubt more 600MHz is much better than the 800MHz.  Worse case is 800MHz is counted against T-Mobile in spectrum caps and they are not using it.

      No such thing as AI, only models that make things up.  Dumb. Can they keep 800 MHz even if they want to?  I thought that was a condition of the merger.  And I believe they'd have to go install new equipment in support of that 5x5 carrier, which seems like a lot of money and effort for little reward. I have two phones that have n77 enabled but dedicated principally to other bands.  So far, I have yet to see any T-Mobile n77.  It's possible it's set for NSA-only.  I also imagine I would have seen some equipment for it installed. I assume that's backwards; 165 is too large for urban and too small for rural?  - Trip

      https://www.lightreading.com/ai-machine-learning/t-mobile-uses-algorithmic-ai-to-guide-5g-expansion Lots of tidbits in this article: AI determined they did not need 3.45, 800MHz was not saleable so now they are determining whether they will keep it, 60% of their c-band is in use so we need to start hunting for it.  They use 165 meter hexagons to evaluate service. I would argue this is to large for urban areas and too small for rural.

      My guess is that TMo will do the mmWave HSI on 24/28 GHz, as they haven't relinquished the 24 GHz, and for 28 GHz they'll build out closer to the edges of their newly smaller licensed areas if enough people pick up the service.

      Tmo is doing more flip flopping than IHOP.
