New Delhi, Oct 2: The Indian market is flooded with low cost Android tablets. However, there are a few that come with GPS and 3G, and Mercury mTab Neo2 fills that gap in terms of features, which include SIM calling, Bluetooth, 3G and GPS. The price of the device has gone up to Rs 14,000 and that pits it against the likes of Reliance 3G Tab, BlackBerry PlayBook and even Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
First let's check out what the device offers. In the latter part of this review we also talk about how the tablet competes in terms of specs.
Design
The tablet is all glossy black, which attracts fingerprints. There are three physical buttons on the top right of the device for power/lock, options and home. There is also a single button on the left right side of the screen. It is the return key.
The buttons are well placed, except that the volume rocker is a soft key and that means you have to unlock the screen every time you want to reduce the volume.
There is a front facing VGA camera in the center and a 2 megapixel rear camera on the top left corner. In terms of ports and connectivity there are two mini USB ports, a mini HDMI port, a 3.5 mm jack, a micro SD card slot and a charging slot on the right side, while there is a SIM slot at the bottom.
The plastic is of decent quality, there is no creaking sound, and except for the glossy finish that acts as a fingerprint magnet there is nothing much to complain about here.
