AT&T Trek HD tablet announced, and GoPhone plans get Rollover Data

AT&T today announced their very first own-branded Android tablet. It’s called the AT&T Trek HD, a 4G LTE tablet with an 8-inch HD display. It’s positioned as an affordable option for those who require a tablet but don’t have the funds for something on the high-end. Here’s a quick highlight of some of the other specs you’ll care about:

• Camera: 5 megapixel auto focus rear facing camera and 2 megapixel front facing camera


• Operating System: Android 5.0 Lollipop


• Processor: 1.6 GHz Quad-core Qualcomm^® Snapdragon^™ 400


• Battery: 4060 mAh Lithium Ion battery for up to 8 hours³ of power


• Storage: 16 GB (microSD up to 32 GB sold separately)


• Weight: 12 ounces

The tablet is just on-contract, or per month for 20 months if you grab it through AT&T’s tablet installment program. That figures to be about 0 if you were to buy this thing with no commitments.

Not a bad deal, though for 0 we’d just as soon use something like the NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet with your AT&T phone’s hotspot feature. The tablet will be available tomorrow online, and will head to store shelves starting May 15th.

To add to that news, AT&T has announced that folks on their and GoPhone plans will now get Rollover Data at no extra cost. Rollover Data works as Rollover Minutes did years ago — the data you don’t use is available for you to use next month. It’s not quite as good as T-Mobile’s Data Stash as the rollover data expires after 1 month, but at no added cost it’s better than nothing.
