Design and Quality
The design of the device is very attractive as it is slim and very much attractive in the toughest competing market of Indian. It has metal body and available in different catchy colors like golden, black and grey. The metal casing makes it quite hard and scratch proof. But the screen has not been protected by any protective coating so it is prone to scratches.

The back of the device has the camera at the top left corner with LED light at its bottom. The viewing angles of the device are quite decent and it works nicely under the sunlight with rear color depiction.
OS and Tech
Android v4.4 KitKat has been loaded into this device which is getting an older version of OS but since the processor is quite powerful and the RAM is 2GB so this OS even works perfectly fine here and the multitasking is too swift. The performance deterioration is hardly observed in it so this OS fits perfectly to the device. It has 2G and 3G calling facility which means that 2G is available for both the SIMs and thus this tablet supports the latest technology component.
Camera and Multimedia
Both the front and back camera are of 5MP and the performance of the camera is not very impressive though not bad at all. The rear camera has an LED support which brings decent amount of images at day light but under low light, the performance of the camera gets little worse as the images and the videos become blur and noisy. The front camera on the other hand works perfectly fine for the video calls and the selfies. It has the capability to run all the recorded videos on the HD screen which produces better quality video display.

4000mAh Li-ion battery is large enough to keep the tablet working for about 8hrs. Under moderate use, this battery is even capable of working for more than 12hrs. This much battery life is quite enough for a tablet. The RAM is 2GB which also makes the device fast running while the internal storage is 16GB which is also a decent addition but expansion to 32GB makes it ideal devices for a lot of applications.
