HP OmniPad 12 Launches in India with 18 Hour Battery and Detachable Keyboard for Work and Study Use
HP returns to tablet segment after years with a versatile Android powered device designed for productivity entertainment and long lasting performance targeting students and professionals in the growing Indian market
HP has officially re entered the tablet market in India with the launch of its new OmniPad 12. The device marks the company’s comeback in this category after nearly 14 years, making it a notable shift in its consumer technology strategy. The tablet has been introduced at a starting price of 48,999 rupees and will go on sale from June through HP’s online store, Amazon, Reliance outlets and HP World retail stores.
The launch event took place in Gurugram, where HP showcased the OmniPad 12 along with more than 20 other products across different categories. The company, known as one of the leading players in the global PC market, is now aiming to strengthen its presence in India’s fast growing tablet segment. With increasing demand for portable and hybrid devices, HP appears focused on offering a balance between work and entertainment features.
At the core of the OmniPad 12 is a 12 inch touchscreen display paired with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The device runs on the Android operating system and is designed to handle both productivity tasks and media consumption. One of its key highlights is the detachable keyboard, which allows users to switch between tablet and laptop style usage depending on their needs.
Battery performance is another major focus of this device. HP claims that the OmniPad 12 can deliver up to 18 hours of usage on a single charge, making it suitable for users who are frequently on the move or require long working hours without interruption. This extended battery life is aimed at students, professionals and users looking for a reliable all day device.
HP has positioned the OmniPad 12 as a dual mode solution that can adapt to both study and office environments. The combination of hardware flexibility and software support is intended to provide a seamless experience for users who want a single device for multiple use cases.
With this launch, HP is clearly looking to compete with established players in the tablet market, including Apple and Samsung. By bringing together portability, long battery life and productivity focused features, the company is hoping to carve out a stronger position in a segment that continues to grow rapidly in India.
