The [AQUOS Phone Zeta SH-02E](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/11/sharp-aquos-phone-zeta-igzo-display/) was first with Sharp's new [IGZO](http://www.engadget.com/tag/igzo) LCD technology a few days ago and it's been quickly with another device, the AQUOS Pad SHT21. Scheduled to debut on Japanese carrier [KDDI](http://www.engadget.com/tag/kddi) in mid-December, this 7-inch slate claims battery life of up to two and a half times greater than the previous model thanks to the [low-power characteristics of its display](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/31/sharps-igzo-low-power-high-res-display-technology-gets-its-tim/), and weighs just 280g. It's powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 CPU, and features a 1280x800 screen resolution, pen input, 1GB RAM, 16GB built-in storage, microSDXC slot, Bluetooth 4.0, MHL, NFC, 3,460mAh battery and 4G LTE capability.
