NVIDIA has already announced the next generation Tegra Note tablet with the LTE support recently. The Tegra Note with the 4G LTE connectivity will be sharing the specs with the company's last year's WiFi only variant of the tablet. Like the earlier one, the latest Tegra Note will be made by Xolo. The device will be released in select markets at the price of $299, which translates to Rs. 18,576 in Indian currency. The availability is mentioned sometime later during the Q2 this year.

However, there are mild differences between the older Tegra Note and the latest one. Moreover, this time the company has released three variants of the tablet: the US friendly LTE (LTE: 700/850/1700/1900/2600 (Bands 2,4,5,17,7)), Europe LTE (LTE: 800/1800/2600 (Bands 3,7,20)) and 3G cum Voice calling (HSPA+: 850, 900, 1900, 2100 (Bands 1,2,5,8)). The last one would come to India.

Another slight development around the latest device is that, it will be running on the Android KitKat version out of the box as opposed to the last year's Tegra Note. However, the WiFi Only variant has already started receiving the KitKat update since February 20th. Other specs remain similar.

Just to refresh you on the specs, the NVIDIA Tegra Note LTE comes with a 7-inch (1280 x 800 pixels) multitouch IPS display. It is powered by a 1.8 GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor coupled with a 1GB RAM. It runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat) OS. There is a 5MP auto focus rear camera along with a 0.3MP (VGA) front-facing snapper as well.

Connectivity options include: 4G LTE / 3G, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth and micro HDMI. The latest tablet houses 16GB internal memory which is expandable up to 32GB via micro SD. The device which comes with a front-facing stereo speakers is powered by a 4100 mAh battery which offers up to 10 hours of HD video playback. Moreover, the tablet comes with a support for NVIDIA DirectStylus technology as well.
