Micromax has been keeping a low profile with its launches these days, seeing as it first released the P360 stealthily and now the Funbook 3G P560 has unofficially gone up on sale with a price tag of Rs. 8,999. The recently announced tablet has been engineered to support 3G; probably the reason why it has been pegged at approximately Rs. 1,950 more than the former slate.
The Micromax Funbook 3G P560 has pretty modest components to offer as compared to other 7-inch devices which have currently been made available in the market at similar retail values. For instance, the Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS might appeal to a smaller crowd, with Jelly Bean making its way into affordable gadgets.
Also, there’s a high possibility that users may find the internal storage space which sums up to 2.5GB, insufficient. But Micromax offers a solution for this in the form of an embedded expansion slot that is compatible with a microSD card of up to 32GB.
The capacitive screen features 5-point touch, touting visuals at a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. The Micromax Funbook 3G P560 shows off dual cameras on its chassis; a 2MP snapper has been positioned on the flipside and a VGA webcam takes its place on the front panel.
A Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 processor which lends impetus to the tablet, seeks aid from 512MB of RAM and drags in Adreno 200 graphics. Even though a 3,000mAh battery is said to render up to 4.5 hours of talk time or 160 hours of standby, it hasn’t been declared whether this operation time will be granted to 2G owners or those on 3G.
So far, potential buyers will spot the Micromax Funbook 3G P560 adorned only on the websites of Infibeam and Snapdeal at the amount given above. Saholic has put the device up on sale with a Rs. 200 discount. Sadly, customers will not be faced with multiple options in color schemes, since the slab has arrived splashed in only a hue of black.
