Simmtronics Xpad Turbo Tablet Price in India
This is a budget device which is dual-SIM enabled having strong calling functionality. This device is particularly for those people who want a high quality calling device but at the same time don’t want to spend much amount. So this device is very good for them. The manufacturer of the device is though not very famous but this device is not at all bad and is acceptable for normal use under good price offering. The features in this device are quite decent but the performance of the device has to be analyzed further in this article.
Features and Specifications
The screen of Simmtronics Xpad Turbo is 7-inch having capacitive touchscreen feature and offers multi-touch capability. The processor here is 1.2GHz dual-core along with Mali 400MP GPU. The OS is Android v4.2.2 Jelly Beans. It has 2 SIMs supporting capability, one for 2G and other for 3G. This device is about 8.5mm thick and the weight is 273g. Two cameras are there, the back one is 2MP and the front one is VGA. The internal memory is 4GB which is extended further up to 32GB via microSD card. The connectivity options are quite a lot here like Wi-Fi, 3G, A-GPS, and Bluetooth. It has a built-in speaker and FM radio support. The battery life is 2800mAh which provides about 140hrs of standby time.
Design and Quality
The design of Xpad Turbo is very much similar to its other predecessors. Towards the top of the device are numerous ports like microSD card slot, charging port and the 3.5mm head set jack. Towards the top right hand side are the power button and the volume rocker. Two SIM card slots are located towards both sides which are open and there is no flip cover for any slot. The screen quality is quite decent and provides good viewing angles as well. The corners of the device are nicely curved and the back of the device is made up of plastic of decent quality thus provides nice grip.
OS and Tech
It has quite nice OS which is Android v4.2.2 Jelly Beans and provides quite decent performance with the available decent processor and the RAM though much cannot be expected from it since this is an affordable device. The multitasking among apps is quite swift and no lags have been observed.
Camera and Multimedia
The 2MP back camera doesn’t have the flash light and also has issues with its zooming capability. The performance of the camera is also not impressive and the quality of pictures taken is also too bad. Since it lacks flash light so the day light photography is better than the night time and one can say that night time photography is not less than night mares. The front VGA camera is also very poor. Videos recorded by the camera are also of very low quality.
Battery and Memory
The 2800 mAh battery may provide 24hrs of the device use as per claims of the company. This time is not bad but it also takes about 4hrs to make this battery recharged completely. The internal storage is less but the expansion is quite decent if people would not complaint about the built-in storage and the RAM here is also quite limited, this should have been expanded to 2GB at least.
Pros and Cons
For Pros:
· Decent price
· Latest OS
· Good screen and build quality
· Nice processor
· Expandable memory
· Good battery
For Cons:
· Poor camera
· Low internal memory
· Limited RAM
Verdict
At the price on which Simmtronics Xpad Turbo has been offered is especially for those who don’t want to spend much on electronic devices especially the smartphone and tablets. The capability of this device is very easy to be judged and the pros and cons are highlighted quite easily. But those people who are looking for better device than this tablet is for cure not for them. The performance of this tablet cannot be compared with that of Samsung and Apple’s tablets. This device somehow looks similar to Micromax Funbook and also has better performance than this one. This is a good tablet for playing games, videos, net surfing and also for the Skype experience. But if someone wants to use it for photography experience, this will not be a good option. But the overall performance of the device is not bad and many people would definitely get attracted towards it by looking at its good design and build quality though few compromises have to be made but there are issues normally with low cost devices and people have to make some compromises in order to have few capacities which are required by them. It has 2G+3G capability which will be highly appreciated by the customers as they will be able to use this device for better calling experience.
