There is no GPS also.
For those who are trying to find whether the set can be connected to your 2G/3G phone used as a modem will be disappointed. The phones modem drivers & software need to be installed first – not sure if this is possible directly on android platform. There is no SIM slot in the tab itself.
Thank you Mr. Das for your hands on review.It will definitely help potential buyers.Many many thanks.
yes in this extraordinary tab it is possible to navigate gps and google mape u understood
Ok I just bought this set. Few points to note:
The battery back up seems ok.
There is no backside camera. Front VGA camera quality is just tolerable.
No bluetooth. Data/image transfer via micro USB port only.
Though they claimed 4gb in built memory, I found 1gb usable only. Maybe the rest was ROM used for the ICS & firmwire ; not sure.
1 HDMI, 1 micro USB, 1 earphone socket.
Display resolution is ok, well readable outdoors, default brightness in packed condition is set at 50%. So display quality improves many times by increasing screen brightness.
Touchscreen response is fair with low grid discrimination. Sometimes you touch an icon but some other app opens.
There is no haptick feedback that is no vibration response like you find on android phones when you play games, touchtype etc.
The tab is not meant for making calls so there is no calling app. Havent tried 3rd party calling software yet. Body is glossy so becomes greasy very soon. volume button is a bit hard & occasionally non responsive.
Havent tried any HD game yet.
On the backside it is written “Made in INdia”. Also in the manual same is proudly mentioned. The components may be sourced from china, but the product quality seems equal/or better than other competition brands.
Overall I feel its vfm & worth to give a try.
Does it capable in execel , pdf , microsoft file, word file and can we use it in service propse.
i have problem with touch screen, when charger connected, if i put my finger 1 cm above the touch pad it is opening the app, some times it is opening multiple apps, which i may not require at that time, what i mean to say is, without touching any thing some applicaiton opening automatically when battery connected, plz help us how to resolve this.
it happens with my Galaxy SL i9003 ….when i connect a non samsung headphones …it goes crazy ..dont no the reason … for u my tip is to use USB port to charge the tab ( yes , it gets charged thru USB port too ,… ) , use the data cable in the box …plug it in ur laptop …
Dear Micromax
All specs are good except one – How abt 2800 maH battary – can it gove good backup time.
Pl. come out with 10″ tab as i think any one needs that big screen for multipurpose use.
A tab at sub 10 K with 10″ and good battery life with simillar specs would be great.
