Android 4.0 BSNL Penta T-Pad WS702C With 7" Screen

 

ICS-based slate sports 2G GSM SIM, dual cameras, 8 GB internal strorage, and supports 3G dongles. 

State-owned telecom operator BSNL has launched the Penta T-Pad WS702C tablet, manufactured by Pantel Technologies. This one runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), and sports a 7" multi-touch capacitive screen with pixel dimensions of 1024x600 — which is great for the size. A 2G GSM SIM slot supports BSNL SIMs for voice and data. Powered by a 1.2 GHz CPU and a Mali-400 GPU, the Penta T-Pad WS702C comes with 1 GB of DDR3 RAM. Pantel states"built-in 3D acceleration graphics capability" as a USP, but nothing in the spec sheet points to an extra feature to this effect. Here are the tablet's specifications:

• 7" capacitive multi-touch screen with 1024x600 pixels.
• 1.2 GHz Cortex-A8 CPU, Mali-400 GPU, 1 GB DDR3 RAM.
• Android 4.0 (ICS).
• 8 GB of internal storage, 32 GB microSD card slot.
• 2 mp rear camera and 0.3 mp front camera.
• BSNL 2G SIM, mini-USB port with support for external 2G and 3G dongles (GSM + CDMA), HDMI-Out, 3.5 mm jack, Wi-Fi.
• 4000 mAh battery with 6 hours of backup.
• Package Contents: USB cable, Charger, User manual.

USB-OTG functionality allows you to connect PC peripherals (keyboard, mouse, USB storage devices, and dongles). HDMI-Out enables sending images and videos to a larger HD screen. We don't know if the tablet supports Google Play store, but we're guessing it won't.
The BSNL Penta T-Pad 702C comes at an MRP of Rs 7500, which is a really great price for the features on offer. The real USPs of the tablet is clearly its high-res screen and 2G SIM connectivity option — a combination almost impossible to find in this price range.

Zync Launches 9.7" Z1000 Tablet With Voice Calling

 

Android 4.0 slate features a 1.5 GHz CPU, 2 mp camera, and mini-HDMI port. 

Domestic tablet manufacturer Zync has added another Android device to its lineup. The Z1000 sports a 9.7" screen, and features Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) out of the box. It is expected to receive the Android 4.1 (Jellybean) update "in the coming months". The Z1000 offers 3G connectivity and voice calling via a SIM slot. It is powered by a 1.5 GHz CPU, and has 1 GB of RAM. The tablet packs in a 0.3 mp front camera plus a 2 mp rear camera. Here's the detailed list of features:

• 9.7" multi-touch screen with 1024x768 pixels.
• 1.5 GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, Mali-400 GPU, 1 GB of RAM.
• 2.0 mp rear camera, 0.3 mp front camera.
• 8 GB of internal storage, MicroSD card slot (up to 32 GB supported).
• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, 3G.
• Mini-HDMI, MicroUSB port, SIM slot (voice calls supported).
• Android 4.0 (ICS), Upgradeable to Jelly Bean.

• 7000 mAh Li-ion battery.

The Zync Z1000 cost around Rs 11,000 and comes with freebies including a Lycra pouch, screen protector, earphones, and a one-month subscription to BIGFLIX. Going by just the specs, the tablet seems to have all essential features covered. I think the price is fair, considering that it offers phone functionality. Let's hope Zync's new tablet will be better than previous attempts!
