Compaq, the popular PC brand that was widely known in the late 1990s, was acquired by HP in 2002. HP gradually phased out the Compaq branding from its PC business during the early 2010s. In recent years, the Compaq name has returned to the consumer electronics market through brand licensing partners, with the focus largely on budget and entry-level Android devices in emerging markets, particularly Latin America and some Asian markets.
In recent years, the brand has also entered the smartphone segment with entry-level models such as the Q6 and Q3 and has now added a new tablet to its lineup, the Compaq QTab Ultra 12.6.
Compaq QTab Ultra 12.6 specifications and features
The Compaq QTab Ultra 12.6 features a 12.6-inch InCell AMOLED display with a 1600 x 2560 pixel resolution. The large panel is aimed at entertainment as well as productivity tasks such as studying, drawing, and working with documents.
The tablet runs Android 15 and supports 5GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS and USB-C with OTG support. It also has an 11,000mAh battery, with Compaq claiming up to 500 hours of standby time and around six hours of continuous use. It supports 18W fast charging.
The QTab Ultra 12.6 also comes with a stylus pen and protective case in the box, while an external keyboard can be used for a more laptop-like setup. The tablet comes with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, while a microSD card slot allows users to expand storage by up to 2TB.
The tablet is designed to be a more versatile option for users who want a large screen for media consumption and creative work. However, the product listing does not disclose the chipset or camera specifications, so those details remain unclear.
Compaq QTab Ultra 12.6 price and availability
The Compaq QTab Ultra 12.6 is listed in Mexico for MXN 8,499 (~$503) and is available to purchase through Compaq’s Mexican website. As seen above, the retail package includes a protective case, stylus, power adapter, and charging cable alongside the tablet. There is currently no information about its availability in other markets.
