Alcatel has announced a new pair of additions to its OneTouch tablet portfolio. Focusing on 3G/mobile connectivity, the Alcatel OneTouch POP 7 and POP 8 are entry-level Android slates with “fun and colourful styling.”

Of the two, the 8-inch POP 8 offers better hardware in pretty much every aspect: processing performance, display quality, supported external storage capacity, profile thinness, etc. The POP 7, meanwhile, is less powerful in exchange for a more budget-friendly price. Both tablets come with optional flip covers and protective cases with a variety of colors.

The OneTouch POP 7 is expected to launch by the latter half of February, with the POP 8 to follow in the succeeding month. No pricing information is available, but both slates should be aggressively cheap for their low-end specs.
