The Oppo U3 is the only major smartphone announced this week, but's a solid proposition. The 5.9-inch phablet packs an octa-core processor and 2 gigs of RAM as well as a 13MP/5MP imaging combo.
More significantly, HP announced a multitude of tablets, with our attention drawn to the Android-running Pro Slate 12, Pro Slate 8 and HP Pro Slate 10 EE.
