The Videocon VT71 has sprung up on certain e-stores with the slate being made available at discounted price labels. Taking the current scenario into consideration, many tablets have been introduced in recent times and by the looks of it, this 7 inch device will have to vie with others such as the Acer Iconia B1 and the Lenovo A2107 in order to gain some attention.
The company has launched the Videocon VT71 with a scoop full of Android Ice Cream Sandwich, while the tablet is fueled by a 1.2GHz processor. It measures 191.1mm x 115.4mm x 12.5mm in dimensions and the capacitive touchscreen is capable of putting forth pictures as well as videos at a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.
Although there isn’t a rear-facing camera, the incorporated VGA webcam carries out functions ranging from capturing images and recording clips to live face-to-face chatting. As far as memory is concerned, the phone conceals 512MB of RAM in addition to 4GB of onboard storage. Those who find the internal space inadequate should be able to expand the overall hoarding capacity using a microSD card of up to 32GB.
The OEM may have excluded Bluetooth, but users will be able to access Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. The handset carries an HDMI Out port and it can support 3G via a dongle. We are aware that a 3,200mAh battery that powers the device, allows a little over 2.5 hours of web surfing time, although the standby time that could be derived remains to be seen.
Snapdeal has put the Videocon up on sale for Rs. 4,799. The e-retailer furthermore provides options for purchasing the slate with either an EMI of Rs. 799 for 6 months or Rs. 1,599 for 3 months.
