The iberry Auxus CoreX2 3G is one of the first 'next-gen' budget tablets that we have seen. We expect to see the like of Karbonn, Zync, iBall and the plethora of other budget tablet manufacturers follow suit. The best thing about the iberry Auxus CoreX2 3G isits display. The resolution is the same as the Nexus 7 but its performance could have been better. The power under the hood is impressive as well, and it will run all the apps from the app store with ease. Multitasking too is a breeze and the device also boasts of the ability to make calls. The downside is that the onboard speaker is underwhelming and the touchscreen response could have been better. If you are in the market to pick up a budget tablet, we suggest you wait for the competition.
Features and Specifications
Straight out of the box, the iberry Auxus CoreX2 3G runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The only other budget tablet that we have seen running JB straight out of the box was the WickedLeak Wammy Desire and that device is priced under Rs. 7,000. We have also seen the launch of the Videocon V10 tablet that runs JB straight out of the box along with the Karbonn SmartTab 10. So yes, we have started seeing budget tablets launch with Jelly Bean pre-installed, a great thing for those wary of buying a device without sufficient future-proofing.

Under the hood, the Auxus CoreX2 3G has a 7-inch HD IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels giving it a pixel density of 216ppi. That is the same as the Nexus 7 (read our review here). The Auxus CoreX2 3G is powered by a dual-core 1.6GHz Cortex A9 processor, 1GB of RAM and the Mali 400 GPU. The device supports a 3G SIM card not only for data but for voice calls as well. The rear of the device houses a 2MP camera and the front has a 0.3MP camera for video calls. Straight out of the box, the Auxus CoreX2 3G runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Auxus CoreX2 3G has 8GB built-in storage expandable up to 64GB via a microSD card. This is the first time we have seen 64GB expandable memory on a budget device. It also supports Bluetooth v4.0 and a 4,100mAh battery.
In terms of its UI you get the raw, vanilla Android 4.1 Jelly Bean experience and that is a very good thing. From the lock screen, you get access to Google Now, which is one of the key features of JB and anyone who has used Android 4.0 ICS will fell right at home on the device.
