Bigger Yet Smaller at the Same Time – Kit Kat 4.4

MELBOURNE, Australia,July 23, 2014 — Hisense Australia today unveiled its latest tablet range with the Sero 8 and Sero 7, Both Android and Google Play certified tablets, they are priced at $169 and $99 respectively and are available now atBetta stores and major retailers across Australia. Each tablet brings front and rear camera, category-leading processor performance and stunning screen quality all while being set at a value price point. The Sero 8 boasts the latest quad core processor and the best available display on the market with a large 8-inch Full HD IPS touch screen giving users the clearest pictures and widest viewing angles possible. With a 7-inch dual-core 1280x800 IPS panel, the Sero 7, it’s a sure fire winner for any tablet user.


Hisense Australia has fully adopted and continued to implement the Android OS in its product mix since the launch of the Sero 7 Pro launch last year. Working closely to have its latest VISION Series Google Certified Smart TV’s in Australia, the new generation Sero 7 and 8 work seamlessly together to bring a unique dynamic to the home. With a simply download of the HiShare app in the Google Play app store, your Sero 7 and 8 (as well as any KitKat device) turns into an intuitive remote control for the K390 FHD and T910 UHD TV - changing channels, adjusting volume and even a popup QWERTY keyboard for typing.


“Fast processor speed, expandable memory, exceptional battery life coupled with a powerful Android OS is a proven formula for Hisense,” said Andre Iannuzzi, head of marketing, Hisense Australia. “We’re bringing tablets with the best possible features customers want, we continue to do that while making them available at a price that’s easy to reach,”
