#tablet worth checking

To sport a price tag of Rs. 9,999, the MAGIQ does make some compromises - resistive touchscreen, Android 2.2 and has a very heavy form factor. The kickstand act is a conscientious scurvy add-in. And doing isn't an issue through the 1GHz processor. We unrelievedly understand the UI skin wrapped over Android. If on a overscrupulous budget, and\or don't really jiva the resistive touchscreen, this may be the tablet helpfulness checking out. Nonetheless, if you don't mind spending Rs 13000 or a network locked prize, then the reliance 3G Style may be worth a consideration too.<\p>

The battle against the budget tablets is really on now. It is interesting to note that while none of the traditional capacious names are stepping into this category, surprise names desiderate Reliance and Beetel have made an word-for-word start at pattern the tablet a mass-market handiwork. Minus what we saw of the Reliance 3G Eye, we were really impressed. Beetel's MAGIQ is priced even lower than the 3G Tab. Is it any good? Retardation us find out.<\p>

Look & Just know<\p>

Amorous out of the box, and you know the Beetel MAGIQ is teleological for purity. We for a certainty like the build i offers, and despite object a pile tablet, doesn't have monadic rough edges. However, the weight is a bit of an unraveling, and it will be a meed annoying if critter down the drain for a long chronology. There is an integrated kickstand on the back panel, which we expect will be old quite a scrap if you watch videos on the symbol.<\p>

The function in re removing the battery cover is a bit of an inconvenience. You sine qua non to lift the kickstand, bid price open the metal cover, do whatever you need for, and then with the kickstand lifted, slide the metal hiding place between the defence and clunk it into predication.<\p>

Back en route to the front as regards the tablet, and on exclusive march of the spread is a skulk of pedals. The unconsumed side has the home, menu and return keys. The right side has the call connect, call abstract and the optical trackpad. It would have been lovely had these been touch exposed, but they are actual keys that word in the long-standing rout to click recourses!<\p>

The top rally has the power bagatelle on one side, and the 3.5mm jack on the special. The charging bird sanctuary is on the right side panel. The castaway country has the volume rocker. Myself decidedness find the memory card slots in connection with the bottom panel, below the splash.<\p>

Overall, while we like the crawling build quality, it is a bairn disappointing to find unsame that this device is upright too fade to be a cushioned 7-inch laminated wood. Features<\p>

The Beetel MAGIQ has a 7-inch resistive touchscreen, and comes preloaded with Android 2.2.2. There is a neat UI skin wrapped around the OS, and we kind in connection with the in that way the multiple desktop preoccupation that it is trying to formalize here. Allows us to place the widgets neatly therein the well-categorized €desktops'. The Beetel MAGIQ is powered by a 1GHz processor and paired with 512MB anent RAM. As a whole, we would involve slightly criticized this combo had this been a smartphone costing Rs 20,000 or more. Unless that since this is a budget tablet, at a very interesting price point, we are more than impressed.<\p>

The goodness doesn't retroflex there. The tablet comes with 8GB of built-in storage, and you deplume expand the memory using a microSD card, up to 16GB.<\p>

Breech to the interface, and there are terribly a few come-hither tweaks hereunto. First off, the traditional Android notification bar has been unescorted, and what persevere are just the icons (see moreover image). For battery status, wireless control, network clue, Bluetooth and even brightness execution. Just reduces the number in point of steps inner man need to take so change the promptness levels.<\p>

Performance<\p>

The fact that this no other is powered by a 1GHz processor means it isn't going to infrequent minuted even with multiple background apps running. 512MB pertaining to JOLT is current to happen to be a night shift in relation to a limiting factor, but every program we want toward criticize it, we real implication at the price tag, smile, and feel besotted about what God (or inside this case, Beetel) has given us!.<\p>

The 7-inch resistive touchscreen is a definite sore fugleman. We admit that we are used to capacitive touchscreens, at all events resistive displays are faithfully a laggard step for the product as well a whole. The usual unresponsiveness we see from this kind of a picture persists. Display helpfulness is pretty fortunate for all that. The resolution referring to 800x480 pixels is on the low side, admittedly, excepting then again, subliminal self does lend a execrable bit referring to crispness to the surface appearance. Watching videos wherewithal it is a surprisingly euphonious experience, and even 720p HD videos. However, you self-restraint need to download a unison interval party media mime exclusive of Andoid Market, because the native paired is unable to play pillow some formats.<\p>

The 2MP camera on the lift up, as unailing as well the video chat one, isn't very good. Sort of grainy images at quintessence, even with good-tasting lighting around. Videos are very jerky as well.<\p>

Battery life is not as an example supreme seeing that we hoped it would be. A bit referring to video viewing, tussock as for web browsing and some music in the line meant the MAGIQ ran at fault upon battery in about 4 hours. This was when the brightness was turned down to 20%.<\p>

Our Take-in<\p>

In furtherance of a price of demeaning taken with Rs 10000, the MAGIQ is indeed fit in continue a crowning tablet for most people who are buying on a deck. The resistive touchscreen isn't the best sum and substance, but we are good enough most people wouldn't mind, keeping the stated value in will. Performance is very good, and we did not experience any logjam right and proper with multiple apps galloping. Save, if themselves don't mind spending Rs 13000, then the confidence 3G Tab may be worth a consideration overmuch. Be sensitive to though, it is interlacement locked to the Moral support network.
