Features and Specifications
The specifications of the Lava E-Tab Xtron include a 7-inch display with a 1024x600 pixel resolution, giving it a pixel density of 169.55ppi. It also sports a 1.5GHz Cortex A9 processor along with 1GB of RAM and the Mali 400 GPU. It comes with 8GB built-in storage expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. A 3200mAh battery powers the entire package. The Xtron runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The tablet however compromises on Bluetooth connectivity.
Budget tablets running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean have been sprouting all over the place. The sub-Rs. 10k price segment is flooded with a sea of tablets, each trying to offer some feature that distinguishes it from the crowd and yet compromising on some essentials to maintain the low price point. One such example is the WickedLeak Wammy Desire, which has a 7-inch display, great build and Jelly Bean OS but the battery life of the tablet is really poor.
Today, we have with us the Lava E-Tab Xtron. This tablet boasts of some pretty good specifications for the sub-Rs. 7k price point. Is it worthy of being your first budget tablet?
Design and Build
For a tablet priced at Rs. 6,499 the Lava E-Tab Xtron’s build is quite impressive, as impressive as the WickedLeak Wammy Desire was when we first saw it. The face of the device has the standard 7-inch display and there are no physical buttons on it. The front houses the 2MP camera for video chat, and the tablet compromises on a rear-facing camera.
