HP Tango X review: The future of home printing?

A clever printer that fits in with our phone-obsessed lifestyles, but being 100% wireless has its drawbacks

Quiet and compact ; High-quality prints ; Free photo prints

No USB connection ; Not the fastest performance speeds

If the Tango sounds appealing, then note you have two buying choices: the straight Tango for £129 , which is the same printer but doesn’t include the wraparound cover, or the Tango X which does. It costs an extra £51, which seems crazy for a piece of...

The HP Tango X writes the book on bookshelf printers

Printer design has been stuck in the '90s, this mobile-first printer aims to change that.

HP Tango X printer review

(Rating Hidden)

Claimed to be the 'world's first smart home printer', the HP Tango X is essentially a wireless printer that looks reasonably stylish and is compatible with voice-control systems, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Does that add up to a printer...

HP Tango X review

Can a printer look good enough to reside in your living room? The Tango X does. With its fabric cover, it looks somewhat like a large, fabric-covered coffee-table book. But looks aren't everything -- it also prints quite well and is incredibly easy to...

Very good looking ; Easy to set up ; No distracting buttons ; Alexa, Google, and Cortana integration ; Free photo printing with HP's Instant Ink program

No USB or Ethernet (Wi-Fi only) ; Scan/copy functions require smartphone ; No duplex printing

HP’s Tango and Tango X are very targeted print solutions. They are great for someone with limited print needs, who mostly print photos and PDF documents of short length from their smart device, or any type of document from a Windows or Mac using the...

HP Tango X

HP's Tango X "smart printer," the first we've tested with voice activation and smart home features, is all about printing from mobile devices. It's not perfect, but given its unique free-snapshot printing angle, it will be a tough act for future models...

Small and spiffy. Voice control with supported smart home UIs. IFTTT scripting for extending smart capabilities. Impressive print quality. Competitive ink costs with Instant Ink, plus free snapshot printing from your smartphone.

Borderless prints limited to 5-by-7-inch. Single, small paper input. "Scans" and "copies" only via smartphone.

Bottom Line: HP's Tango X "smart printer," the first we've tested with voice activation and smart home features, is all about printing from mobile devices. It's not perfect, but given its unique free-snapshot printing angle, it will be a tough act for...

HP Tango X review

The HP Tango X is compact, prints quickly and at a high quality, but it does have its shortcomings.

High quality prints ; Fast print speeds ; Great design

No flatbed scanner ; No control panel ; Smartphone app issues

The HP Tango X might be compact, quick and high-quality, but the smartphone features need more attention.

HP Tango X Review: A Convenient (but Disappointing) Wireless Printer

The HP Tango X, while designed for people whose online lives revolve around the cloud and a smartphone, may be a good fit only for those looking solely for a printer. Print speeds from a PC are fast, and print quality is very high. Although print costs...

High print quality ; Quick graphics and photo printing ; Text printing is faster than average ; Compact, stylish design

No flatbed scanner ; No control panel for stand-alone operation ; Copy/scan quality from smartphone app is poor ; Copying is slow

The small wireless HP Tango X prints quickly and delivers high print quality, but the smartphone copy and scan functions leave much to be desired.
