The new tablets come in two different display sizes (8-inch and 10-inch) and are further categorized as standard and Plus variants.

The Plus variants, on the other hand, are powered by Snapdragon 625 SoC, and sport a 1,920x1,200-pixel resolution IPS display. Available memory configurations include 3GB/16GB and 4GB/64GB. A 5MP camera is on the front and an 8MP camera is on the back. There's a USB 2.0 Type-C port and a fingerprint sensor as well. The Plus variants also feature a dual-glass design.

Both standard as well as Plus versions have stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, run Android Nougat, and come in WiFi+LTE and WiFi-only models.
