Micromax Launched Funbook P280 at Just Rs. 4,650

Micromax has launched a new tablet based on Android operating system which is worth a buy because of low price. Funbook P280 is now available for Rs. 4,650 online  and  you can probably guess from the price of the tablet, that there’s nothing especially attractive about this tablet. However, if we consider the price P280 could compete against the likes of Datawind’s Ubislate series, better known by Aakash in India .

The Funbook P280 runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, and is quite underpowered. There’s an All Winner A13 single-core Cortex-A8 with 1GHz processor, according to the official statement from the company. There’s also 512MB of RAM to help things along. Screen is of  7-inch capacitive TFT LCD on the P280 with a 800×480 pixel resolution. Do not expect to be shooting great pictures as there’s only a 0.3MP camera on the front and none on the rear. Internal storage is of 4GB with option for expandable storage up to 32GB via microSD cards.

In addition , You’ll find a full-sized USB port to connect data dongles, and Wi-Fi connectivity. That’s it. There’s no Bluetooth or GPS tracking system or a SIM slot for 3G. Disappointingly, there’s only a 2400 mAh battery inside the tablet. We have seen smartphones with larger battery packs. Micromax claims it’s good for 250 hours of standby time. Just like the Canvas smartphones range, this tablet is preloaded with various apps including Spuul, Opera Mini, Kingsoft Office, M!Live.
