Background and Identification
Hisense Group is a Chinese multinational white goods (major appliances) and electronics manufacturer. Hisense owns two listed companies, Hisense Visual Technology Co., Ltd. and Hisense H.A. Hisense products are sold under several brand names including Hisense, Toshiba, Gorenje, Kelon, and Ronshen. Hisense is also an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), meaning some of the products it produces are sold to other manufacturers and carry a brand name not related to Hisense. Hisense’s main products are television, and in 2015 the company acquired the right to sell televisions in the Americas using the Sharp brand name. Sharp Corporation is a Japanese corporation that designs and manufactures electronic products.
A sure-fire way to identify that you are holding a tablet in your hands is by checking to see if it is able to be held in your hands. Tablets are generally bigger than mobile cellular devices, with screens in the 7-inch to 11-inch range, but smaller than laptops and without the folding capabilities.
Android tablets incapsulate any tablet computers running on the Android OS operating system. Tablets occupy the weird space in between phones and computers, functioning as larger mobile devices that rely primarily on touch input, although some models have the functionality to attach additional peripherals. Android tablets can be largely identified as any tablet computer not using either Windows OS or iOS.
Hisense tablets include the name “Hisense” in the center of the tablet’s backing. They often include Android’s three-button navigation system which includes a house-shaped button as a “home” button in the center of the tablet’s bottom bezel, a rectangle as a “show-all-applications” button on the right of the “home” button, and a “back” button depicted with an arrow pointing to the left.
