Samsung has been facing tough competition from the budget electronics manufacturers in India from quite some time. The company even though has been the undisputed leader in the smartphone segment, it is the tablet segment where it has had to work hard to maintain its position at the zenith. And in a bid to maintain their dominance, they have started taking the orders of their least priced tablet, the Galaxy Tab 2’s Wi-Fi only version at a price of Rs.13,900.

Now this makes the device compete with the Indian manufacturers on the price point and the device comes from a MNC rather than an Indian brand which surely is a big plus for the tablet. The tablet will ship with the latest version of Android, which will be Jelly Bean and shall reach the shelves in the first week of February and if you order now, you’ll get a free flip cover with device and you’ll be amongst the first ones to lay their hands on the device.

by Ritij Khurana • February 12, 2013

Acer recently announced the Acer Iconica B1 at a budget price of Rs.8,199 and we believed that this would lead to the Indian manufacturers of tablets dropping the prices f their budget tablets as people would any day prefer a budget tablet from an MNC over that from an Indian brand with similar specifications. But they could also launch newer products at a lesser price as well. And this precisely what Lava has done.

Lava has just introduced their first Jelly Bean powered budget tablet, the Lava eTab Xtron. The tablet can be all yours for a price of Rs.6,770. The tablet will be a 7 inch tablet and will have a capacitive display to complement the Android power it brings to the table. The 7 inch capacitive display has a resolution of 1024×600 pixels and being an IPS display unit, we expect the device to reproduce crystal clear images as well. The device comes with 8 GB of internal storage and the memory can be expanded upto 32 GB via a microSD card.
