Tesco unveils the £119 Hudl tablet

Tesco unveils the £119 Hudl tablet

Hudl

Quad-core CPU, 7-inch screen, sold online and in stores from Sept. 30

We're live in London, where UK supermarket chain Tesco is taking the wraps off its new budget tablet running Android, the 7-inch Hudl (pronounced "huddle.") The tablet will sell for a fraction of the price of Google's Nexus 7, though with somewhat cut-down specs. The tablet features an "HD" screen, a 1.5GHz quad-core CPU, dual-band Wifi and 16GB of storage, expandable up to 48GB. It'll come in black, blue, purple and red color options and sell for £119 through Tesco's online and brick-and-mortar stores starting next Monday, Sept. 30.

On the software side, the Hudl is running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with the full suite of Google apps, as well as access to entertainment through Tesco's BlinkBox service. From what we're seeing, the software appears to be mostly stock Android, save for some small customizations.

We'll bring you more coverage of this new budget tablet as the event progresses, so stay tuned.
