Closer look: Hisense Sero 7 LT and Pro (pictures)

The Hisense Sero 7 looks a lot like other 7-inch Android tablets. But it's certainly cheap: $99 for a 4GB LT version, or $149 for the 8GB Pro.

The Sero 7 is about as thick as the Nexus 7 and has a similar-size bezel. Both the LT and Pro have the same heft.

Like many 7-inch tablets, it feels OK in the hand...but slightly too long a screen for digital books.

Sero 7 Pro ports: microSD, Micro-USB, Mini-HDMI.

Sero 7 LT ports: it's got Micro-USB, Mini-HDMI, and microSD as well.

The Sero 7's specs are acceptable, but onboard storage is low: only 4GB or 8GB, although both have microSD card slots for up to 32GB extra space.
