SpecificationsMicromaxFunbook has decent
specifications under the hood. A Dual Mali 1.22 GHz Cortex A8 processor
ensures smoother processing to run applications and multi-task and
powers the latest version of Android for smartphones and tablets - Ice
Cream Sandwich. The 7-inch tablet has a 17.78cm multi-touch capacitive
display. The device allows HD video playback at 1080p and the HDMI
output allows you to play your desired media content on external display
at home. The 4GB internal storage can be expanded up to 32 GB with a
memory card.
Now for the negatives, although justifiable for
the pricing and target audience it focusses on. The tablet includes a
modest 2800 mAh battery. Interestingly, the tablet does not feature a
rear camera, although includes a front-facing VGA camera for video calls
et al.There is no SIM slot, so the only Internet connectivity is via
WiFi or via the bundled Tata Photon USB dongle to provide additional 3G
connectivity with free 1 GB of additional downloads for the first 2
months.
The device comes in two colors – Suave Silver and
Brilliant Black – and the slim and sleek design with only a centimeter
of thickness, is not only attractive, but also easier to carry and work
in both landscape and portrait modes.
