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.

When Intel was looking for companies to use its chipsets in Android devices, not many came forward because the applications were always going to be limited due to the architecture of the chipsets. So, the Indian mobile maker Lava came forward and the result was Xolo X900 which was way way more an Intel product rather than a Lava product. But the brand’s aspirational value never really let the very capable (read as superfast) smartphone set the sales on fire.

Now Lava has been in news for quite some time since it’s been locking horns with the Indian mobile giants Micromax and Karbonn in the so called Premium Budget segment by offering the Xolo A700 and Xolo A800. But then again, there is always another market you could venture into and Lava has just entered a new segment with its budget offering, the Iris N400 Dual SIM Android smartphone which has been priced at Rs.6,399. It will be powered by a 1500 mAh battery and shall have 512 MB of RAM and 127 MB of internal memory which can always be expanded by 32 GB via a microSD card.
