Dell kill 5 inch Streak: Dell Streak 7 any better?

The Dell Streak was released to a mixed reception. While a niche audience adopted the 5 inch smartphone, critics weren't overly enamored with the design. Kitguru really liked it, and we reviewed it twice, following up when Dell released the 2.2 Froyo operating system.

Sadly, Dell have bid adieu to the hybrid size design and said ‘It's been a great ride'. Inside sources claim that Dell are wanting to target the full size tablet market with both 7 inch and 9/10 inch designs.

The Dell 7 inch Streak, is a new 7 inch design which has been a talking point, due to the competitive price point – of around $200 after rebates in America. Sadly reviews we have seen have yet again been less than stellar, with PCWorld giving it a score of 2 stars out of 5 stars claiming that the colours lack vibrancy and the interface (based on Android 2.2) is buggy. They even claim that the display has pixelation issues with both graphics and text.

Dell have been working on a 10 inch tablet – the ‘Dell Streak 10 Pro', with a release already made for the Chinese market. It apparently uses the Android 3.1 operating system, but it has yet to hit Western Shores.

Kitguru says: Can Dell take on the Apple iPad?

  1. I bought the Streak 5 and I love it. still do. It can be a bit slow at times however, so a reboot is needed. overall though its brilliant. Only downside is the portability. you always know it is in a pocket due to the size.

  2. Streak 5 is NOT DEAD! Only in the US, the product is off the market .

    All this companies that produce mobile-phones and tablets was mad at Streak! Very MAD ! Especially Apple with all their trolls! They wanted to sell you separately phones and tablets , what makes better business for them!

    That’s why attack against Streak 5 was well organized, massive and permanent. With a lot of lies! There was not such an attack against Streak 7 or 10.
    Streak 5 shows the future , where telephone is only application , not separate devise, and everybody have an “all-in-one” devise in the pocket!
    Do not drop 5 inches “all-in-one” factor , Dell !
