INTEX iBuddy 7.0 is the updated version of INTEX iBuddy with a slimmer body and lighter weight. It is a good choice for people who need a convenient slim tablet for better handling experience.
All this is available at an affordable price as compared to other tablets of the same caliber.

The Intex iBuddy 7.0 is equipped with a capacitive touchscreen which is 7.00 inches in size and has a resolution of 800 X 480 pixels and a not so sharp screen.
The tab has an average 1.0 GHz dual core processor (Cortex A8) and a RAM of 512 MB which proves to be inadequate looking at the multiple functions one expects from their tablet. The GPU is Mali400.

OS AND TECH:
This tab works on the Android 4.0 (ICS). The tab also has a 1.0 GHz CORTEX A8 dual core processor and a RAM of 512 MB DDR3 which proves to beinadequate.
Though it doesn’t support 3G, it is compatible with an external 3G data card.

Apart from entertainment, it is also useful for work with document viewer and other MS office features.
CAMERA AND MULTIMEDIA:

It also can be connected to a pen drive for audio and video file transfers.
BATTERY AND MEMORY:
The battery is quite disappointing at 2350 mAh. This is far too inadequate when compared to its other competitors. INTEX should have considered providing a larger battery size.
The tab spots a 4 GB internal memory and an expandable microSD memory card slot upto 32 GB.
PROS AND CONS:
PROS:
· Light weight and easy to handle.
· Video calling facility supported due to front camera
CONS:
· Not a great camera.
· Poor battery life.
· Weak processor with a small RAM.
· Doesn’t support SIM.
VERDICT:
A very average tablet launched by INTEX. The only advantage it has is the light and slim framework. It supports the internet dongles through USB port which makes it better for internet surfing. Rest, neither does it have a good processor nor a good RAM. Also, does not support SIM which is a necessity nowadays. The camera also is a mere 0.3 Megapixel (VGA) without flash. Though it is priced on the lower end, it does not give you a good experience of using a tablet.
This device will suits you if you do not like big bulky tablets and are ready to settle with a lower battery life and a weaker processor.
