Design and Quality
The design of this tablet is quite unique and stylish. It has silver back and black front.

The screen is 7-inch large but there is no protective coating over it which makes sit scratches prone.

OS and Tech
The latest Ice Cream Sandwich OS has been provided to this tablet. This works very find with the support of the processor but the RAM is limited and it should have been raised to about 1GB. The performance of the device is decent enough but due to limited RAM so at times the lags may be observed but not always. The OS is well suited in this tablet and provides decent level of multitasking.
Camera and Multimedia
2MP rear camera is not bad but it is not much good either. Nothing much can be expected from any low priced tablet. The images taken by the back camera are presentable though not very impressive as generally noise is observed even under good light. There is no support of flashlight so under low light, the performance of the camera gets affected a lot and the quality goes much down. The videos can be recorded by this camera but the same quality issue is observed with them as well. The front 0.3MP camera is only used for the video calls as well as selfies.
Battery and Memory
3000mAh battery is not bad. It provides few hours of device work. This much battery is enough to keep the tablet working for 3-4hrs but takes quite a lot of time to get it 100% recharged. The battery is non-removable as in the case of all other tablets. The RAM is too limited. 512MB RAM is not enough to give fats performance by any tablet. The internal storage is also limited but the expansion of 32GB is not bad.
